Total Wine said they will let me exchange it. I liked Templeton before. Not sure if my taste has changed but the current bottle (bought 3 days ago) tasted weird. I tried it on two separate occasions by just taking small sips and didnt taste like before. I have no idea whats going on. What should I exchange it to in the $30 range?

Exchanged the Templeton Rye for a Scotch. Overall I prefer Scotch and this one is highly rated for about the same price.

Super close friend of mines father owns a high end tequila company (average retail is $80-90) and he took his first stab at whiskey. Of course I had to have a bottle.

It used to be my go to. Nothing wrong with it at all and I only changed my go to because Costco had a killer deal on the Balvenie 14 Carribean Cask.

I struggle with the Balvenie choices. They are all good, but don't really stand out to me, especially for the higher price point. At those prices, in my opinion, Macallan just blows them out of the water. The Dalmore I recommended above is also much better in my opinion and priced at around $60.

If you are hitting that price point...
Macallan Double Cask 15... it's new and I just recently tried it and it blew me away.

Was actually eyeing that earlier. It doesnt hit $150 after tax though so would need another cheaper bottle to go with it. Lots of options to hit $150. Hard to choose.

Got a favorite of mine today, The Dalmore 12. Also grabbed a new cheap Glenlivet that looked good.

Still the best I've had to date is the Macallan Classic Cut. It's a cask strength at about 60% and is beyond fantastic. Runs about $120.

If you like peated whiskys then the Ardbeg is hard to beat, one of their top normal offerings

I took a bottle of Widow Jane 10 year old bourbon to my whiskey drinking friends place last week. Played some golf, bbq'd some great steaks and then sat around the fire with some nice Nicaraguan cigars and tasted this bourbon. It's a little on the pricy side, I paid $160 CAD and I grabbed it not having read anything about it, which is probably a good thing. I just read a few reviews and they are mixed at best and critical of the price ($69-79 USD).
Anyway, we really enjoyed it, it almost has a rum quality to it and we managed to drink about 1/2 the bottle. |

Nothing has become more apparent to me since getting involved in the whisk(e)y hobby - tastes vary. |
