    Have you tried the WLW antique.  Would you say they’re similar?

     I find the antique to be on the spicier/hot side. Would imagine it would be similar. 
    Only one way to find out I guess. lol

    a bar owner in seattle told me these bottles are becoming increasingly hard to get and you should grab them if you can...


    I have 3 of the five.

    The WLW is one of my favorites I've ever had and am still looking for a bottle.

    A few drops of water opens it right up.

    To all you Laphroaig fans, more power to you.  It's so intense, I will have to try it again and see if I can enjoy it, it's so damned intense!
    Going to make it a mission to try Pappy by hell or high water, that price is nuts but.....want to try it.  
    One find I had is an Elijah Craig 12 year single barrel that was local to the store near me.  I ended up buying 6 bottles when it came in.  I've never had a whiskey with a 'dry' finish.  Almost no whiskey kick at the end, it was strange, surprising, delightful.  If you ever share a drink with someone, wanting to see them enjoy it, this has been a go to for me for years as I go through the bottles.  Just a glass, neat, maybe a few drops of water but they take a sip and you see this surprise as if 'wait, what was that??" and they want more!  It's wonderful and I'd love to find another that has such an experience but think that may have been a lottery win of a selection.

    EH Taylor is supposed to be really good.

    Blantons is always good.

    Pappy is good but don't go chasing that dragon at the prices they have.

    I've been very fortunate to have had a few bottles now but I won't pay stupid prices for them!

    And yes the EH taylor is great. 
    Would like to get some single barrel, but small batch is a nice drink that I wouldn’t pass on.

    What do you think a solid pour of lagavulin should cost?

    I can tell you both EH Taylor Single Barrel and EH Taylor Barrel Proof are both excellent!  I bought multiple bottles of both a few years back!

    Once a year we get the chance to enter a draw for the BT antique collection and pappy. This is what we get it for. These are in Canadian prices

    That will run you an easy $20 in NYC. More at hotel and upscale bars.

    Yep, around what I expected or a bit more. $37 before tip in a hotel bar in Seattle. Thought that was obnoxious
