Not sure how much better the sales will be with those big boxes. But I'm sure Joe will get at least 2.

Definitely stings that we'll have to buy so many at a time now, though I'm sure places will still sell them in smaller size lots.  Morning, and Happy Tuesday, all.

Agreed - 50 is a little aggressive, but I guess other brands are doing it with their smaller sticks too.  Mornin Joe!

Yeah, there's precedent.  And it's not like box splits are impossible to pull off.  Be a while before I need to reload on them anyway, and despite what people say who just regurgitate what they read online without any actual evidence, I think they do just fine with 'age'.  Still have some from their original release and they've every bit as good as the ones I'll smoke fresh.

Morning, Shaun.

Morning Dean, Dave, Tony, Scott.

Picked up a Garage Brewing Marshmallow Milk Stout over the weekend. Sounded like ST Creme Brûlée but not quite as sweet. Intended to drink it Sunday but whiskey got to me first.

whenever i get the Jehovah's Witness,
or the Mormons who show up at the door, I tell them
I am a practicing Druid/Wiccan, and would they like to
celebrate the next full moon naked with me. 
 They go away fast!

Aberlour 12yr is amazing, highly recommend that choice - also fairly easy drinking.

I'm still only learning my own preferences for scotch, can't speak to any high end recommendations. That said, if I had $200 to spend on ONE bottle right now, had to get
It today (meaning no special editions/yearly releases and regularly available), I'd go for an older Japanese whiskey. Yamazaki 18, or Hibiki 17 year or older.

But speaking of Scotch, got a Laphroaig/Auchentoshan tasting tonight.
