Wife gave me this as a stocking stuffer . . . so having a bit tonight.

I've been wanting to try the cask strength Angel's Envy but I'm not prepared to spend $200 on a bottle of it.
I'll bet it's tasty, given how enjoyable this bottle is.
I'm kind of a cheapskate at heart. I enjoy a nice bourbon and Angel's Envy would be right near the top of ones I have tried so far. I also like Breckenridge bourbon a lot. Bulleit and Larceny are my more often-purchased "nice" ones I'll spend a bit more on and enjoy them but I still feel iffy about spending even that much on a regular drink--although most would consider those pretty mid range, I'd guess. For my more regular drinking, I tend to cheap out on Ancient Age or Benchmark 8.
Hah, that's definitely cheaping out. Of the bottles I keep around they probably average $35-$40. Angel's Envy is probably the most expensive bottle I've bought but I've been tempted to open up the wallet for a bottle of Wild Turkey Decades. $150 Wild Turkey, just for the hell of it.
LOL . . . yeah, I'm not proud of it. I usually keep a bottle of Breckenridge, Bulleit or Larceny on hand for when I want to have something finer to drink. If I'm just whipping up an old fashioned or throwing down a glass or two with a splash of water to relax then I reach for the cheap stuff more often than not.
My wife shakes her head and says "life's too short . . . just drink the good stuff" but I just can't bring myself to not keep the cost down.
A tasty Belgium ale.![]()
