Right. I've only really been into whiskey the last 3-4 years, so really just before the boom. Prices have gotten nuts and the availability is worse for all the age stated stuff, and especially the wheaters. 12 year and old antique Weller used to be reasonably priced high quality go-tos, now they're treated like gold and hoarded by shopkeeps and buyers as "basically pappy."
Looking forward to the general public moving on to whatevers next in the alcohol world. Fingers crossed it'll be tequila as that will never interfere with my tastes :)
- kasey_junk 12y agoTry a few good tequilas or mezcals. I frequently use them to "hedge" the inflated prices of whiskey. The good ones are as different from the high volume stuff as good scotch is (and maybe more so).
- dpeck 12y agoperhaps I'll do that, I find I'm pretty picky with my spirits, if offered I'll sip but in general I don't really care for scotch (peaty or not, the "sharpness" of barley turns me off), and really not a fan of the flavor of tequila at all.
