Yeah, the guy I was visiting is indeed a very good friend from a long way back. He said he wouldn't have opened the bottle for just anyone. We drank it neat, at room temperature. It was smooth and a bit smokey. But again: I don't usually drink whiskey so I'm not the best judge. But I can say that it was far, far better than the Old Crow I had as a young ne'er-do-well.

Cheers!

Re: Best Whiskey
40 creek. It's a bargain and it's tasty. There was a single malt I've tried to find again but never have, very slightly sweet, lots of smoke flavour and smooth as glass. Bought the bottle for a friend's wedding, he cracked it a few years later.

2 thumbs down.

Re: Best Whiskey
Blended whiskey called Old Thompson, cheap but in blind taste testing you cannot tell it from Crown. A dash of Coke and you're off to the races... Of course any Flor de Caña 7 years on up is on board =)

That is in fact true though. The Ferrari is 20x better than the Civic. Actually more like 50x better. Just that most people can’t discern or take advantage of the difference. No professional would buy a Harbor Freight welder either.

Better, at/for what? They're, obviously targetted at different markets/needs.
As with most things, that might depend upon your criteria.
A better comparison would be made between autos, aimed at a similar market [ ie: pick any number of luxury sedans, at differing price points].

I agree that the Ferrari is a lot better for sporty driving, but for going to work, get some groceries, drive in winter weather, I would prefer the Civic.

Re: Best Whiskey
Good to see you all recommending whiskey as opposed to whisky , non Scots around then.

Ultimately, the crew came back mostly empty-handed, without finding the 350 barrels of whiskey or knowing if the shipwreck they discovered was the one they had set out to find. However, The WESTMORELAND was found in 2010 by Ross Richardson at the bottom of Platte Bay, near Traverse City. Sadly, it did not contain any gold or whiskey.

So, it was actually six men and a dog - and they accomplished nothing.
