Costco in our area carries a Kirkland labeled Crown Royal knockoff that I prefer over the original. It has a slight caramel undertone that I enjoy.
To be honest. that looks like an empty closet to me.
Not only are most of those bottles empty but where is the back up stock?
I tend to buy three bottles at a time... and then keep two in reserve, for each... for the more rare ones,... one bottle in reserve...
We'll be landing at Heathrow in ten hours... please PM the directions to your humble abode.
We're bringing the glassware.

I love the Talisker Sky... the saltiness is neat... my wife doesn't like it. More for me...
Oh, no sherry/port cask aged whiskeys, huh? Tsk, tsk...
I have no idea what inspired this, but I had a dream last night that I was buying a bottle of "good" Scotch and it rang up at a whopping $39!
LOL! A dream for sure. Single malts have gotten pricey. I heard it was due to high demand in China and India.
Fantastic whisky. A teaspoon or two of water in a tot helps to open the nose up in most whiskies. With the heavily peated ones, I drink them with one or two ice cubes.

I enjoy whiskey immensely and agree with the statement above. I've had hundreds and hundreds over the years but if I had to pick one brand to stick with for the rest of my years I'd likely pick George Dickel. Everything I've tried from them is good to great and I feel they don't get near the respect they deserve. Especially for the single barrel stuff.

....and for fun try a shot of Bruichladdich The Classis Laddie Unpeated Islay Single Malt with a chocolate Moon Pie. Great pairing IMO!
I was a big Scotch fan... then I moved to Nashville, Tennessee. It was hard to shop for Scotch when the Scotch section as the local bottle shop was about 3 feet wide, and next to it was a 100 foot wall of American Whiskey... with quite a bit of it made within a days drive of me. I was converted.
My favorite is from a local distillery in the village of Leiper's Fork: https://leipersforkdistillery.com/
Its a small distillery with annual production of less that 25,000 gallons. It's a bit hard to find on the shelves outside of the Nashville area, but they do ship (not cheap though).
Their Tennessee Whiskey is my favorite regular offering. But their Rye is my favorite of their limited runs. It's typically available at the distillery only and often sells out in days if not hours.
