I suppose the more shots of whiskey, the better the Telecaster looks. Kind of like beer goggles

Yeah the price is certainly attributable to scarcity and some hype. I've found single cask independent bottlings to be the best in terms of value and relative scarcity (especially anything from Adelphi).Danger Mouse wrote:I always eye whisky from closed distilleries with suspicion.

Surely sir would like the Ardbeg Dark Cove instead? See photo.
Not that I'm in a position to spend anything like that sort of money on a whisky, so it is somewhat of a moot point.

If scarcity is a consideration, I have one of the rarest. The one single bottle in existence of the Amplifier Peated Coopers Lager Whisky 10 Day Old, aged over medium toasted French oak. I shall be tucking into it this weekend...sam_the_bogan wrote:

(I just distilled it out for a bit of fun, it's not actually awful and has some pleasing notes to it... although Adelphi won't be knocking at my door anytime soon).
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Telecaster porn, Lowden porn, whiskey porn
any rare whisky hounds might swing by the Village Winery, they have a super rare Japanese bottle available. last time I was there, they had a few bottles left
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

They are not 100% closed. They are owned by the company who owns Johnny Walker/Talisker/Lagavulin etc and still do malting for other distilleries. They're just not producing under that brand/facility anymore.Danger Mouse wrote:I always eye whisky from closed distilleries with suspicion.

Saw this article and remembered there was a whisky-related thread.

I'm known to be fond of my Single Malt and several varieties of good wine. When younger, I considered becoming a collector. Then it occurred to me that alcohol collecting is a perfect marriage of Schrodinger's cat and Spinal Tap.Molly wrote:Saw this article and remembered there was a whisky-related thread.

You buy a bottle based on its label. The contents may, or may not be what you expect. As long as you never test it, the idea of your investment remains intact.
But to keep your investment, you can't touch it. You can't open it and you certainly can't drink it or you have no investment and a pressing need to pee.
All you can do is keep the cork moist and the label dry.
Daft pursuit if you ask me.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The word investment takes the fun out of ownership in many circles, guitars you can't play, cars you can't drive, paintings you can't just hang on a wall. Once there is an investment market for something, it stops being what it is and just becomes a commodity.Slowy wrote:I'm known to be fond of my Single Malt and several varieties of good wine.

I did enjoy reading the Rolling Stone interview with Johnny Depp, when his wheels were starting to fall off, where he would regularly open US$30k bottles of "investment" wine to have with dinner.

That 58 Telecaster looks to be a top loading bridge. I remember reading somewhere that this was the norm around that time.
I climbed on the back of a giant albatross which flew through a crack in the cloud to a place where happiness reigned all year round and music played ever so loudly

Re: Telecaster porn, Lowden porn, whiskey porn
This thread doesn't get much use, obviously no whiskey drinkers here...
Anyway, I'll play...
I ain't a whiskey man. Tried Grant's Whiskey in the past, no excitement. Then I noticed an unopened bottle of Jim Bean Whiskey over the lockdown that was given to me a long time ago. Finished it and again no excitement. Then I bought a Tullamore DEW last month and it gives a hint of promise of what a whiskey might be all about. Any suggestions what I should try next without having to exhaust my savings?
ps - I like Chris Stapleton's Tennessee Whiskey. Is that something to try?
