dfitzo53 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I second Evan Williams as a surprisingly good bourbon for basically bottom shelf price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've repurposed a couple of scotch bottles, for olive oil. I removed the labels and stuck shot pour spouts on them. I reused a Woodford Reserve bottle for my Solera bottle. I have an etched bottle of Woodinville, (a barrel pick), that I'll repurpose, because it's a nice looking bottle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bar out here that has the bathroom wallpapered with random old book pages. I wonder if you could do something like that with the labels...

VA doesn’t so much do barrel pics as it just calls the distillery and says send me a barrel of XXX. So it can be great or awful, just luck of the draw.

The Evil Genius Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Might have asked this before but I didn't find it the answer... I have this that I got in August 2005 and never opened (it was suppose to be a gift). It's been inside and out of sunlight the entire time...still a good drink? Totally clueless about single malt...

I have no idea if it’s a good drink or not but letting it sit like that did not affect it at all. Whiskey keeps forever just about.

Yes. It's gone bad. Send it to me, and I'll dispose of it safely for you. My Dad had this a few years ago, and no one was hurt, when we disposed it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried that one but I did try the Balvenie Caribbean cask and it was excellent. Feel free to send that here if you're unsure. I'll check it for you to make sure it's still good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Chernobyl spirit drinks seized by Ukraine security teams The first bottles of an "artisanal spirit" made using apples grown near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have been seized by Ukrainian authorities. The Chernobyl Spirit Company said 1,500 bottles of Atomik alcoholic drink were confiscated on 19 March and taken to the Kyiv Prosecutor's office. Officers took the shipment from a truck at a distillery in the Carpathians. The spirit, its producers say, is Chernobyl's first consumer product since the 1986 nuclear disaster. When we tasted the first Atomik vodka martini in 2019, Prof Smith, who is based at Portsmouth University, explained that it was "no more radioactive than any other vodka". He and his colleagues since adjusted their recipe to make an apple-based spirit. Those apples are grown in the Narodichi district - an area immediately outside the exclusion zone, where agriculture and development is still highly restricted.

I finally checked out the store in DuPont tonight as I was walking by....holy ****balls, I was like a kid in Willy Wonka's factory with all the selection. Are Prav's picks worth the extra money? I got some recommendations from him and ended up taking home some Weller Antique since I'm a big Buffalo Trace fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
