It's been an incredible week for me. Won a raffle and BIN'd another bottle (Old Carter batch 14 and a Blanton's Gold). Also, my tMB Secret Santa was insanely generous.

Either volguy9595 had his wife write that up because his handwriting is completely illegible, or I have many questions about volguy9595’s spare time interests…
Do any of you know where I would be able to find Akashi Ume Whiskey? Wanting to buy a bottle **** is gold.
The regular 61 proof plum whisky? I'm showing it in stock at Total Wine. If you live near a Byron's or Parkhill's maybe there?
Hell I'd try it. It's inexpensive.
Oh I am in OKC today also will hit Byron’s.
I am no whiskey man and this is the first one I can just sit and sip. Love this stuff.
And yes the plum one.
Rye drinkers, if you haven’t had it, I highly recommend this. It’s slightly pricey but smooth. And cheaper than Whistle Pig 12 and comparable to the 10.
I hear great things about that one. Will pick one up for sure
Have you had a Whistle Pig 10 store pick? They are about 115 proof and generally superb.
Struck out at Byron’s
Now do I push the wife and two kids with ear infections and swing by George’s lok

I mean, sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
Not like it's going to be their last ear infection....go for it.
I have never seen a bottle of that in any store that I'm in, but I don't usually look at Whiskey from Japan, it's to much like scotch and I'm not a fan. I'll look at the stores I go to next time i'm in and get back to you if I see it.
Explain this to me like I am an ou fan. The scotch reference. I also don't mind sipping red breast, so I am wanting to explore this comment.
Most Japanese whisky is single malt, most often associated with scotch, although there are also Irish and American single malt whiskies.
If you like Redbreast, I would recommend The Balvenie Double Wood 12 as your introduction to single malt scotch.
$70-71 is a great price. Up to $76 is a good price.
I second this. MJD made that recommendation years ago and it’s one of my favorite scotches.
If you ever have $600 laying around that you don't know what to do with, Redbreast 27 is one of the two or three best whiskies in the world, no joke. But good luck finding one as they have seriously curtailed production.
My best in the world? Macallen 18.

I’ve seen it here in Tulsa a couple of times in the last 12 months. I’ll go to a somewhat ridiculous price point for whiskey but I won’t go that high.
Macallan 18 is one of my favorite whiskeys of any kind, no doubt.
I’ve not had the Macallan 18, but I’ve found every Macallan I have tried to be sort of blah.
VinePair reported in September 2020 that House Bill 100, which passed on Jan. 1, 2018, allowed retailers the ability to purchase “vintage spirits” — or “dusties,” as they are affectionately called within the bourbon hunting community — and sell them. The bill was controversial, as many distilleries worried counterfeiters and opportunists would exploit the bill to their advantage, as there were few repercussions — until now.
House Bill 439 was met with bipartisan approval and moved forward.
Some of the provisions of the bill involve charging vendors a $300 annual license fee to sell vintage bourbons. The bill mandates that all vintage bourbon transactions be made in person, and imposes a purchasing cap of no more than 24 bottles of vintage bourbon per licensee a year. Sellers will have to file monthly reports divulging the details about the purchases, dates, and quantities. Those operating in violation of this law could face misdemeanor or Class D felony charges on multiple offenses.
The legislation additionally allows The Commonwealth to auction any confiscated alcohol found in violation of the bill, and proceeds from the auctions would go to alcohol wellness programs.

I wonder what is defined as "dusty". Bottles of Wild Turkey Rare Breed from 10 years back command a collector premium, but it really ain't that old.
I just thought of Chi when reading that and all his closets filled with whiskey lol.
I've just gone through a blind taste test and my Pour Man's taste buds Elijah Craig works really really well. Sazerac Rye is my go-to when wanting a bit more sweet.
Pretty much some of the best options for "poor man's" daily sippers.
Jealous of the entire collection...but currently pining for bottle of the OFBB you're just kinda casually hiding in the back.It's been a while. Here are a few shelves.
