Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

I think this is a great start to the New Year!

Lynn, what is the first bottle on the left?
I picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace Single Barrel this week, but really thinking hard on Eagle Rare for my next Bourbon.

In other news, Highland Park has a Youtube Channel. I watched a series of videos showing how they make Whisky from the peat being harvested to marrying and filtering. I consider myself an expert now>

Van Winkle 12 yr. Also have the Pappy Van Winkle 23 yr. Both are awesome!!

that's why its better to invest in rare whisk(e)y nowadays, than in gold or stock..

Like stock and gold, whiskey is susceptible to a bubble.

I stumbled across this video about Johnnie Walker and wanted to share. Robert Carlyle gives the history of the Walker brand in a single, 6.5 minute take. While walking.
