[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3390351, member: 9374"] Wow... I was gonna say I can't believe I missed this thread. But when looking at the date, it was during a period in my life when I had... well... a lot going on, let's just say that. At the time, I was drinking a LOT of Scotch, actually spending more on Scotch than on rent - I was living in a little trailer out in the country in Leflore County, so that's not as admittedly bad as it could be, but still indicative of how much I was drinking, lol. At that time (2013) I was transitioning from The Glenlivet to The Balvenie Doublewood. Doublewood is still my favorite "normal" Scotch to drink, as in not a "special bottle" for a special occasion or a treat or whatever. Although it has become more of a treat in the last few years. With the increase in the price - in 2013 Doublewood was costing me about $48 a bottle, now it's closing in on mid-$60s - and the decrease in my income - currently less than ¼ of what I was making then - I have mostly switched to bourbons. Not necessarily by choice, by necessity, but I have developed a bit more of a taste for them than I had then. I really miss my single malt, though. :( Mostly drinking Larceny and Elijah Craig these days. Have a few bottles left of The Balvenie Portwood 1993, I'll break one out of my stash once or twice a year. Also have some Doublewood once or twice a year as well. Likely less this year - I just drank a bottle of it I was given at Christmas last month, and I doubt I'll be buying another anytime soon. Gotta be able to pay my mortgage first. On a very rare occasion I might pick up a bottle of Macallan 10y or even 12y. Not likely this year, though. Made my way through a lot of ryes, too. Woodford makes a nice rye, Sazerac (staring at a bottle this very second) makes one of my favorites. So does Knob Creek. I've got a bottle of WhistlePig, which is supposed to be the bees knees, but for the $80 price tag, I found it just good, not spectacular. [/QUOTE]
