YOU SAID YOU WERENT GONNA TELL ANYONE
No, I said I wasn't going to tell anyone what the little hand costumes cost. Oops.
YOU SAID YOU WERENT GONNA TELL ANYONE
So I stopped into Benash today to grab a bottle of a John J Bowman Single Barrel store pick. For those that don't know, that's a $60 store pick Single Barrel of Buffalo Trace's Mashbill #1 and has the same grape note that most of their juice does. It's right on profile. That's less than the price of a shelfer Eagle Rare in NJ.
But the point here is that there was a scotch rep in the store while I was there, so I struck up a conversation. Next thing I know, he's pulling out samples and did a free tasting of 6 different options, 5 of which were 18-25 years old. Talk to reps. They're there to sell. The one I liked the best and snagged was the 14 year old. Go figure. The worst by a mile was a Macallan 18 Double Cask. You can beat that for $50.
