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.

Just picked up this month's lottery bottle. Old Forester "Idaho Bourbon Lovers".

According to the clerk a group of bourbon enthusiasts across the state got tired of never winning a bottle in the Pappy Van Winkle lottery that's held every year. So, they got together and with the help of the state liquor office got to pick a barrel of this OF bourbon. That's how they got the special label. Whether or not that's the real story? Anybody's guess.

Highland Park 12 Viking Honour. This is my first scotch and is definitely not a rabbit hole that I'm prepared for. This stuff is great.

That looks quite tasty. ^^

I've entered the lotto for a bottle of Highland Park "Full Volume". Not sure I'm a scotch fan...we'll see. Not something I'd normally buy.
