Out running this morning. Four miles down at 0700. Stopped at a bar to get a glass of water. Some old guy ordered a Macallan single malt, 18 years old. $47.00 a shot. I overheard and expressed surprise that any drink could be $47 for one shot.
Just like that HE BOUGHT ME ONE so I could see what it was like.
I confess, it's a lot smoother than my usual Bushmills. Damned tasty, in fact.
And any day that starts out with a $47 glass of scotch CANNOT go bad.
I love this city.
0700. That was after sunrise at 0657, so that was almost a shot in the dark.
ReplyDeleteIt's spoiled you are.

My current favorite is 'Monkey Shoulder'.
ReplyDeleteNice stuff. You should also try Deanston 'Virgin Oak' in the same price range.
DeleteLucky You. The only downside is you might just pickup a very expensive habit....
ReplyDeleteI had a $50 Pappy Van Winkle for dessert a few days after we saw you and the pups. Well worth it, but it's not going to be a regular thing.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
I feel fortunate to get my Coke Zero!
WOW!

Must be nice to be able to afford $47 shots, not only for yourself but for strangers too!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding, right?
DeleteIf that was 18 year old MacCallan which is around $1,800.00 a bottle that wasn't a bad price. If it was 12 year old MacCallan which is just under $200.00 a bottle it's a little steep. Regardless, single malt scotch is a first rate sipping whiskey.
ReplyDeleteHey, man...I just drank it. And it was SMOOTH. Good. Great, even. But no way I buy any more out of my own pocket.
DeleteIn Scotland in 2005, I bought a 21 yr old Balvenie Portwood for about $50 US. We really enjoyed it for a couple of years. Went to buy another and it was not in our price range in the states. Now drink their double-wood, 12 year old. Not as good, but more reasonable as a habit. Definite difference from the aging. Has a similar experience with Talisker 10 and 15, both
ReplyDeletewith flavor and price.
Just be careful the nice gentleman doesn't say "Have some Madeira, m'dear..." ;-)
ReplyDeleteMr. Macallan single malt is the coolest guy EVER!
