McKenna is pretty hard to find out here
It also took me over a year to find my first ER of 2022 and then it snowballed last month. I’ll probably have a buddy start buying it for me out of town and picking it up every few months…most of the places by him have it stocked on a fairly regular basis.
99% will be used within the calendar year- either sending them out to people who can’t get them, opened, shared, saved, or some combination of those.
It’s meant to be drunk and I try to enable that stance as much as possible.
Cracked open a bottle of Col. E.H. Taylor tonight in celebration of getting my project car to run!
So good.
So good.
Hell yea. I'm about 6 oz in, all neat. The next two might find an ice cube. And then maybe a water or two. Starting to get that chapped-lip... "drink some freakin' water you lush!" feeling.
I really like what I’ve tried from High West.
Their “A Midwinter Night’s Dram” is on my must try list. Never had the opportunity to find it, but have heard nothing but amazing things.
This High West is a limited release that jewel got today, different bottle from regular High West. Higher proof, and sweeter. Strong honey and apple flavors in this one.
It's good, but you'll never find it, and it's not worth what people ask/get secondary for it.
The upside to NC, is all the liquor stores follow the same price schedule. When I did see High West, they wanted ~50 bucks for it, I think. You are right, I do not see it often.
Ohh, now this is important. Normally I'm not a peaty guy. It's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of (most) Scotchs. Or maybe it's just smoked peaty stuff. If I see it in a restaurant I'll try it out.
Tonight I slummed it with "Ancient Age" (super inexpensive, one note, cheap, great mixer. Made with the same Mash used in things like Col EH Taylor), mixed with diet ginger ale.
