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

Ardbeg is well and good, but I'd rather the Port Ellen.
I always eye whisky from closed distilleries with suspicion. There is a certain amount of the "once it's gone, it's gone" factor, but I do also wonder why they closed, if so special. The marketing team at work again?

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.
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).

Fixed. ;-)

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... :lol:

(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.

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.

Diego and apparently they are bringing it back to producing whisky.

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.

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.

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.

Sounds like a load of cork-sniffing to me...

I'll get me coat.

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

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?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
