Whisk(e)ys
hedgie:
Dare I ask how much, and the name of the place so I can avoid it? I've been getting it at <$10 US a glass, and usually with a strong pour.
Method of Madness:
A steakhouse in New Jersey, but I never plan on buying it a shot at a time again, I'll just get a bottle, now that I've tried it.
(But holy shit, it was twenty-eight dollars, and it wasn't a huge pour either. It was plenty for a pre-dinner drink, and enough to let me know I wanted a bottle when I had an occasion to buy it, but god damn, I'm glad I wasn't paying.)
But if there was a restaurant that had <$10 pours of Lagavulin, I would have dinner there every week.
hedgie:
I'm glad you at least enjoyed it, but yeah, much cheaper by the bottle.
The Thai restaurant/bar I often go to has it in the 9-10 range, Laphroaig for 8, Ardbeg for 9, and plenty of others. The bar manager knows he's making all the money off the well shit he's selling to students in fruity mixed drinks, so us serious drinkers are paying very little if any markup on the top-shelf, especially the whiskies.
Method of Madness:
What state do you live in?
hedgie:
California. Rather high cost of living where I am, as well. But there are enough places where one can drink on a budget if they know where to go. Hell, in SF, I could drink for less than I do where I am now, but then again, I knew the owners of a few bars and pubs, and at my local, there were a lot of old-timers who wouldn't let me pay for my own drinks, nor let me buy them a round.
