    well, I guess that would technically be south of the Mason-Dixon line...but no, not really south.

    just picked up a bottle of Macallan single malt on reccomendation.
    Nah. I think the Glenlivett spoiled me. Although it was good, and definately more character and smoother than JWB or Chivas, and a bit of sweetness in the front of my tongue, the Glenlivett still has that light smokey, smooth as silk mouth feel. The Macallen still had too much bite and bitterness at the back of my tongue.
    But..it went well with my Fuente short story.

    FWIW, "back in the day" I got to "hang" on occasion with Coco Chinetti (Ferrari NA) and a bunch of the Euros (aka "Jet Setters").
    THEIR scotch of choice was The Glenlivet.

    Don't get me wrong, the Glenlivett is good.

    But if money is no barrier try Glenmoragne.

    hands down the best tequila for the money is El Jimador...about $26 a fifth not a pure agave but it's dang tasty

    sorry, the Reposado...it's actually the only one i've seen...

    almost 8 years ago when I first started teaching here in AVL, we started a monday night thing of going to the Mexican place just down the street. Two of the waiters have been there longer than that and I get 'preferred' status there. One of them was a student for a while...and get this, he had to hide that fact from the rest of the waiters...the latin machismo thing?, I don't know but he didn't want it let out that he was training...anyway, they turned me on to the El Jimador Reposado and it's very nice, has a honey aftertaste, nice for sipping but also makes a helluva margarita.

    Never seen it to price it.
    How long have they been around?
    (also, "jet setters" seldom let money (cost) get in the way of anything)
