How you gonna not chill with your boy. (Also now I'm not inclined to hangout in general)

This is goombay smash #2.

 

[Piobaire]

I just have a Manhattan cuvee. Oz of Whistlepig 10, oz of Long Branch, oz of Antica. Splash of Luxardo, Mas Moles bitters.

Can someone explain the appeal to whistle pig to me? It seems to have gone from a cult following to a mainstream brand. It is commanding a huge price point, I don’t think it’s a particularly good QPR.

 

[Piobaire]

You know why I love all things WhistlePig...because the juice that made from famous comes from Alberta.

I'm meh on it but the guy who has me in his will to inherit 50-70k worth of whisky and wine loves it. I'll have many bottles.

Not bad product. Sometimes. QPR declining precipitously over time. I've been very disappointed and I've enjoyed, depending. I don't generally buy it. I would not object to inheriting some.

I can hear Willie Nelson singing Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys whenever I drink one of these.

Relatively few labels offer good QPR these days.

Semi-relatedly, I was wondering if, due to the pandemic, (and brands producing/bottling less this year) if we’ll get a few longer aged spirits over the next few years.

I totally respect this position. This stuff isn’t a 100% taste or value, booze elicits emotions from us. It’s one of the best things about it.

I happen to think one of the reasons you love whistle pig is a reason Americans should hate it.

 

[Piobaire]

Everyone should hate it. It's pure schadenfreude on my part that the "best American whiskey" is in fact whisky (no "e") distilled in Canada.

******* marketing!

Sales of booze are way up in general from what I hear, so I wouldn't count on getting longer aged juice out of this. Would be a little bit of a silver lining though.

I had a couple of bottles of whistle pig when it first came out. I thought the owners were adamant that they were going to grow their own rye and stop using the Canadian stuff, that’s was years ago
