Seriously?? It's $45 for me. Dayumn. But... I will say that I would pay $100 for it if I had to.

M_Six · 06-27-2017, 04:27 PM

Yeah, Plantation 20 runs in the 40 dollar range here.

1MOREMOD · 06-27-2017, 04:55 PM

Hmm thought for sure I paid 80ish, a bottle every other day gets spendy

ShopVac · 06-27-2017, 06:25 PM

Plantation 5 runs 40 a bottle here. Love that state liquor tax!

M_Six · 06-28-2017, 09:22 PM

All this talk about Plantation 20, gotta go pour myself a glass.

May need to paypal you to ship me a bottle of this illusive (to PA) liquid

TXSTYLE · 06-28-2017, 10:19 PM

Don't sleep on the above Don Pancho I posted!
And also seek out the other exquisite rum I posted previously. Variety is the spice of life!

Violator · 06-29-2017, 11:15 AM

I just picked this little gem up

///Mongo · 06-30-2017, 10:59 PM

Diplomatico tonight. It's good, but it's not Plantation.

1MOREMOD · 07-01-2017, 05:47 PM

Had the plantation pineapple but she brought it neat so not what I'm used to. Was good but like the 20 better

So do I, but the pineapple goes well with ice and if you can get some fresh pineapple chunks (and you're at home where no one will laugh at you), drop some in and let them soak.

There is no shame in dropping fruit in your glass. I've been experimenting with mint/blackberries picked from my yard in my Old Fashioned.

TXSTYLE · 07-04-2017, 06:35 PM

HAPPY 4th everyone! Drink well and be Safe.

So I have been partying quite a bit since Friday! My lovely wife's Birthday is today. But we celebrated it with 2 parties: Friday night out salsa dancing and then Saturday at our House Party. Guess who was on bartender duty?
The "Mixologist" himself...

In the process of pouring Don Julio shots!

Also, tried The Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrell (Texas specific) VERY tasty I must say!

M_Six · 07-04-2017, 08:04 PM

Happy Birthday to your wife. Hope she sees many, many more.

I'll be enjoying some Woodford Reserve tonight. Really liking this lately.

Joekerr · 07-04-2017, 08:48 PM

I've taken a liking to Ardbeg lately. Not really my wheelhouse as it is more peaty, but there is something special about it that I really enjoy.

Thanks! Kinda hard for me to ever forget.

I want you to try that Clyde Mays too.

ShopVac · 07-08-2017, 06:20 PM

Wife and daughter just flew down to Atlanta to catch the Metallica/Avenge Sevenfold concert...leaving me in my bachelor hood.

Bought a bottle of The Singleton of Glendullan 15 and a Punch.

Maynard · 07-09-2017, 12:42 PM

I love the Islay's, and Ardbeg is one of my regulars I buy by the case (Laphroaig is my true fav, but peatier than the Ardbeg). The Corryvreckan is probably my favorite Ardbeg, a bit smoother and a little more mature than the 10yo. Bruichladdich is also really nice, and some are un-peated.
