I’ve had that bottle for years now too like the other 21. One of the few we did not decimate in 2020. Occasionally, having a drink at home, but trying not to overdo it, especially on the more expensive harder stuff to get.

Definitely not a collector but I like to pick up interesting stuff or just have it for when people come over…

[ddtrash]

@northsouthdenimguy That is a fantastic looking collection. Always nice to be able to offer some guests some good choices. I do tend to keep the super rare stuff at the back of the cupboard away from public consumption.

I purchased a cheap bottle of Jameson's specifically for my Brother in law who likes an Irish coffee occasionally. Throwing a nice single malt into a coffee drink upset me somewhat so the Jameson's bottle was procured.

Booker’s with my candied pecans

@ddtrash

You haven’t lived until you pour a 21 year scotch and make a “Jack and Coke”. It’s possible that I may have done this once or twice in a pinch…

I rather enjoy being dead

I wept a little too...

[mclaincausey]

To be fair, the thought of Coke even without mixers is off putting to me. I just don’t like sodas. I grew up on the stuff but can’t abide it now.

@northsouthdenimguy

I hear you, sometimes a necessary evil when all out of "questionable" liqour to feed unwanted guests with.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@ddtrash

Definitely. With liquor or clothing/boots although I do like a good bit of all of it, I don’t take any of it too seriously…

holy crab , this is hard stuff 60% but surprisingly good to drink …..

[pechelman]

What's that like @Daniel-San ?

Tried to do a bit of searching and maybe it sounds a bit like chartreuse?

[WhiskeySandwich]

Some Mead to warm up

[Daniel San]

@pechelman
it’s a liquor/ booze . but the absolutely top level with 60% alcohol. The bottle is made of some kind of stone stuff as it’s so strong
The uncle of my wife always has it when celebrating his birthday.

[tody]

@pechelman Should be Jaegermeister style, just a lot stronger.

[mclaincausey]

Had this guy and enjoyed it. I really love their 16 year though. Feel like it’s a good staple and great price/performance.

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey How does it compare to the 16? I buy a bottle of the 16 every year around this time, and I've been curious about the 11.

A nice sipper on a Saturday evening!

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf it’s beyond serviceable but easily it is worth the premium for the 16 IMO.

Bought this for a friends birthday. Very good! Amazingly smooth for 106°

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey from what I’ve seen, the 16 is coming down in price, so that’s always nice.
