Johnnie Walker Red

Red Label is going for $27/bottle; Black label for about $40. When I can afford it, I prefer the Gold Label the best.

Hi lads, how ya doing
The Jameson distillery is about 10 miles from me here in Cork, they do tours for visitors, like an attraction center sorta thing, and of course at the end you get a free tasting, if you get on the right tour with the boring brigade, you get to taste everyone else aswell as ya own, great fun, twisted for the price of the tour.
They make something there called Midlton Special Reserve, costs a fortune but if ya ever get the chance, try it, worth every penny.
Good luck
Pete

Greeting from the Socialist Republic of Pennsylvania,

The state runs our liquor store as welll as everything else around here. However for some reason sometimes they have big sales on liquor. Recently I was able to pick up some JW red 1.75 for about 38 bucks. I couldn't afford not to buy a few of them. I used to live in the great state of Colorado (hope to again someday). There were some very good competitive prices on liquor in that state.

I found Glenmorangie at the Norwegian PX, in Macedonia. At the time, the Balkans was declared alcohol-free for US troops. I bought several bottles, put it in my assault pack, locked it with a padlock and walked right through the gate, past the MPs, with my courier orders, bottles clanking against each other all the way. That was the best tasting Scotch!

Hi to all who need medication for the soul!, We just got 3-4 inches of snow and on wrong side of rockies to help Vancouver! So it may be tine for a "wee dram". The C/C you get in USA is bottled in Detroit not in Canada check your Bottle Lable. Wiser's seems to be what most of the western canadian rye drinkers prefer! Having spent august in Scotland this year and doing the wiskey trail it was an amazing experience! We pay double by the time it gets to north america!

Hard to make a good martini with Johnny Walker Red. The real question is, How much would it cost to upgrade to Bombay Sapphire and where do you get really good jalipino olives.

The smell of Juniper makes me sick to my stomach...grew up with those damn prickly bushes around my house, so I'm not a Bombay fan.

Now Chopin potato vodka, that's a different story! Straight, on the rocks or with a splash of cranberry juice...can't go wrong.
