Around here the local shops seem to mark it up as high as they think they might get on the theory that if it doesn't move they can always mark it down.
I cannot wait to open up my bottle of glenlivet nadura after the end of this week. I had quite the weekend we played a dumb game with dice and alcohol that makes me feel sick to think about it.
“A man can take a little bourbon without getting drunk, but if you hold his mouth open and pour in a quart, he's going to get sick on it."
Well, curiosity got the best of me. Friday night was scheduled to be a bourbon night but I wanted to taste the Corryvrecken first. Was so good, I stayed with it for the majority of the evening. Not quite as thick and oily as Laphroaig Cask and tastes a little hotter. I think I like it better. Really good poor. Love the high proof.
I love cask strength whiskys/whiskeys. The biggest reason being that I can take a smaller sip and still get everything the whiskey has to offer. With these pours, I take smaller sips, and let it mingle in the mouth longer, rolling it all around before finishing the sip. I found this helps tame these high proofers a bit. It also seems to make the finish last longer.
