Whisk(e)ys
Method of Madness:
I've seen wine stores that do tastings once in a while but never whiskey.
ankhtahr:
Huh. I've known that these stores exist, but I never visited one before. And my friends intention to buy a Whisky for up to 100€ might have helped. Had I asked for a whisky for up to 50€ they probably wouldn't have let us sample the Ben Nevis (which was more expensive than I had wanted when I entered the store).
I also like the idea of this Whisky being from a Single Cask, so there are only 816 other bottles in the world to taste like this one.
BeoPuppy:
I know of two stores that do sampling in store. One is here, in Alkmaar, bless their hearts, the other ... Berlin. I bought two ludicrously rare and expensive Bowmores there five years ago. The first of which I finished of yesterday, as it happens.

Opened it tonight when I got home from work, my dad was satisfied about the present and...wow. Such a jump in quality over the 14, which is itself a jump over the 12. What I love about the Balvenie is that their different ages are all aged differently. This one is so good, I'm still sipping my glass slowly, enjoying every bit.

My liquor store (Bev-Mo, for Patrick's benefit) left a bottle of Jura Prophecy unguarded on the shelf. I had to fight off three other old heavily-peated-single-malt-scotch-drinking codgers, but I was successful, and managed to acquire the bottle.
It is very good, and well worth the tussle :).
