Went to a fantastic SB party last night. The gentleman hosting has great taste in the spirits that really matter, namely scotch and wine. Evening started out with a '61 Barolo, however I can’t remember the name. Definitely would be my house wine if I was in the 8 figure/year or more club Then onto the scotches: on the bottom shelf (no, I’m not kidding): _Blue Label King George V Edition_ Then upwards onto: '63 Glenlivet and a '69 Macallan. Pretty incredible stuff. All followed up by a couple of glasses of '99 Moet Chandon (Dom). Damn. It was tough to get into the shop today. ---

no matter how much i try, i just can’t get into scotch or anything involving gin. I’d rather drink barton’s rum out of the bottle than a couple hundred dollar scotch. Guess it’s an acquired taste that I just can’t manage to acquire. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > Guess it’s an acquired taste… totally agreed. I’m 37 now, and didn’t start to get into any sort of Scotch until I was about 29-30, and it’s the Blue Label that got me started, unfortunately. Unfortunate because the cost keeps me from having it around more than once in a blue moon. Most of the time, the house bottle is Jameson’s ---

I’ve had a bunch of 12 yr old scotch, the glenlivit was my favorite… and I wish I could afford good scotch, like you were saying jason, the blue label is awesome but its about $250 a bottle… I love going to my gf’s parents house, her dad is a lot like the guy you described above, and is always willing to share :tup: ---

i know what the aftermath of this night feels like… i did it, a bit lower budget liquors but all sorts of different scotch. woke up with my clothes soaking wet in the garbage and my phone was dead, i think from what i can guess showing with my clothes on. i didn’t feel right for two days, but that night sure was delicious 🙂 ---

> [@Joe](#): > > how do you get over the pine needles taste? you take more than one sip 😛 I dunno, good gin tastes fucking awesome, you’re probably just drinking shitty stuff. step it up to the more than $25/bottle stuff and you’ll find it pretty good lol… also gin’s not the best for non-mixed drinks ---

I dont know, i must be hyper sensitive to that particular taste. My experience ranged between seagrams on the low end and tanqueray on the high, all negative. Even in a long island, all I get is an overwhelming gin taste and I usually have to force it down. Give me rum or vod mixed drinks, even 75% booze 25% mixer, and I’m downing between 750ml and a liter and still going strong. Then again, I can drink bourbon all night as well but have to choke down scotch. All personal preference i guess.
