Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
The price for a handle of WT 101 at my local CVS is $43. A handle of Gran Legacy is $12. I know some of you guys love your whiskeys, but there's just no way in hell I could justify paying that much more for name brand whiskey.
BTW, my local CVS no longer carries Kessler. :(

^^^ out of curiosity what's a handle of black label EW go for at CVS?
Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
I'll check next time I'm there, but there are not very many handles above the bottom shelf. I noticed that the WT 101 handle was the only bottle that size on the shelf above my stuff.scream ale wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 6:17 pm^^^ out of curiosity what's a handle of black label EW go for at CVS?

Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
How often do you drink whiskey? I notice some of your posts just mention beer, but most also mention you drink whiskey with it too. For the last few months I'd been drinking whiskey everyday (rotgut of course) and I ended up feeling terrible and having to dry out for a few days. I wonder if I should blame the whiskey, but I notice other people seem to drink a lot of it without any problems at all.scream ale wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 6:17 pm^^^ out of curiosity what's a handle of black label EW go for at CVS?
Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
GREAT NEWS! They do have Kessler, but they moved it up to the second shelf, even above Evan Williams which is more expensive.

Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
I've been skipping a day between whiskey drinking lately. I think it's the summer heat mostly.Hugh wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:28 pmHow often do you drink whiskey?

Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
^^ Summer heat and whiskey don't often mix well together. Usually, when the heat goes up, I'll have bourbon on the rocks or, if it's almost unbearable, it's whiskey with soda - it's something my grandmother used to drink, it's quite refreshing and club soda doesn't kill the taste of whiskey like coke does (at least, for my palate). On the other hand, whiskey neat during a heatwave is the best way to pass out fast and save some money, as it'll get you petrified drunk faster than usual.

I've been craving beer lately. Until the bourbon craving kicks in.

Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
For whatever reason, I get horrible beer cravings from time to time. I'm a straight liquor guy for the most part, but there's nothing like an ice-cold beer and even though I rarely drink beer, from time to time, I get this nagging feeling that I need one. And when that happens there's nothing better.scream ale wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 7:39 pmYes it will.

It's weird. I have no idea why it happens. I mean, it's not like my cocktails aren't ice cold.
Maybe it's because I can guzzle a beer. I can't guzzle a Manhattan.
I mean... I could, but it wouldn't lead to anything positive.

Re: Rotgut whiskey vs. premium whiskey
Just bought a handle of Benchmark 8, how much pain am I in for the next morning? Couldn't resist trying a bourbon under $25 for a half gallon.
