Favorite alcoholic drinks

I think it's aged 12. I finally did my next Costco run and have a giant bottle of Kirkland Scotch, now. As soon as the Glenlivet runs out.

First of all, I'm not 50 you little bastard! I will let you know when I reach that milestone. It's not long, but don't rush me!

My grandmother actually passed. I was messing with Top. She did love it when I made her a Pina Colada though. And I always use dark rum.

Very nicely done.

Have a Lagavulin (neat) on me:

I was just at Costco this afternoon and saw that great big bottle of Kirkand Glenlivet.... gigantic!

And... in their high priced booze area (behind locked glass doors) they have a bottle of 42 year old Glenlivet for a mere $15,000 pesos! I don't imagine I'll ever be quite that thirsty!
 
again... I can't imagine ever wanting to waste that kind of money on a bottle of scotch, when Johnny Walker Blue is still under $200 here.

Anytime you've got a blue label, you are drinking fine stuff. No matter how good the quality, no food or drink is ever worth $1100.

That depends on your income bracket. If I was a top 0.1 percenter I'd think nothing of it.

Having said that being an upper middle class DINK....I can think of no bottle of any adult beverage worth $1100.

Blue is overrated and over priced. The best Walker is Gold label. Or, if you are able to find a bottle, White label.

I bought four bottles of black label as a gift for my brothers in law...sells for over $40/750 mil bottle around here, got it as a package deal at $25/bottle. If I was to compare Glinlevit speyside single malt 12 yo to JW Black Label I'd definately give the edge to the Glinlevit but only marginally so.

Well if your talking about the difference between. There's a noticable difference between Glenlivet 12 and 18. Having said that most of it preference and price. If I was to chose between JW Black Label and Glenlivet 12 at +$40 a bottle I'd go with the Glenlivet just on preference. If the JW Black Label was $25 though I'd go with it in a heart beat. So for me it's price point vs quality, not into the snobbery thing. I'm no Scotch expert...only ever drank 2 bottles of the stuff and a half a dozen drinks at the local bar.
