    When the ounce or two of scotch you put in these glasses costs double or triple or more than the glasses themselves it, why would the one time investment in the drinking accessories put you off? Of course it won’t improve a Jack Daniels but it it does help with the experience of sipping a fine scotch.
    Agreed. No problem splurging on a nice whisky glass,and really you only need 1 (or 2) good ones.

    Apologies, I meant the shipping fees cost more than the glass itself.

    Did not take it as snotty in the least, so no worries.

    I love this thread. It's informative and shows that, even though Ive been drinking scotch for a few years now, I know f*k all about this stuff.

    Cheers gents!

    Picked up a farclas 15 sherry. I wanted an abunadh, but i think the hoarders cleaned out coop. Farclas 15 is one of my favs though. If you are a sherry kind of fella you will enjoy.

    I just opened a Tomatin 14 Port Cask... Very nice bottle! Full of berry, grape and Vanilla hints. I do love a port cask finish!

    ^ You've talked me into it. What's the price tag on her? My first port cask was Balvenie 21, really enjoyed it but pricey.

    I cant remember exactly what I paid but I am think it was just over $100... It was a couple months ago I grabbed this and am just getting to it now. Definitely not as expensive as a Balvenie 21 although that is a bottle worth the price!

    In the same ball park as the glenfarclas i just bought. You know im actually enjoying it a little more than the port wood. Im a big fan of wine casks, have a really nice sweet bark to them. If you can find yourself a barolo finish, i guarantee you will be pleased with it( if you havent already). Thanks for the suggestion, the tomatin port is next on my list.

    You need to try a Sauternes casked variety if you like sweetness! A classic is the Glenmorangie Nector d’or for under a hundred bucks... I always have one in my cabinet. I just finished an Arran Sauternes cask I really enjoyed as well.

    Sipping this one lately, matured in three different casks with a light bit of smoke, really interesting and enjoyable dram!

    First post in this thread. I took a 2020 break from any drinking, as a test of will-power, but I broke down Saturday and dug this out. My wife got it from her past job in the booze industry. I cracked it and had a few oz. Wow, it was good. Super smooth. I later discovered it may be valuable (?). I true, I wish I'd sold it instead since I think y'all would appreciate it more then me.

    I hope that's true, in which case I won't feel to bad about drinking the hell out of it. I read it was last sold in 2013, hence my curiosity.

    If you can get 1 for $100, buy as many as the will sell you. I will buy them from you for $150ea
