My delusion claims it was optimism, in reality it was cheap on Amazon one day.

I'm mostly off brown spirits these days, back in the day I was an Islay man and have tried nearly every one in an 18+ yr. version at some time (IIRC a 21yr. old Bunnahabhain was tops). But recently we opened this bottle we picked up at the duty free in Jamaica. Better than the price might indicate.

Churchill was quite fond of Armenian Cognac from this producer. It really isn't too shabby!
We have a large Armenian community here, the brandies in all the goofy commemorative bottles are always fun to look at.

I've just started on my stash of "Death Wish Wheat Germ" Whisky that I made about 18 months ago. I am not a whisky fan, so this should last me awhile.
Somehow...that mix of industrial, utilitarian, and copper materials looks great... I've been debating on setting up a still to deal with a two kegs of beer I made that went sour. If you don't mind my asking, how did the spirits turn out?
A childhood friend had to cancel his 40th bash due to the covid lockdown. To cheer him up, and give us a little something unique to enjoy, I poured one shot each of 40 different scotches into a 64oz flask(made a bottle for myself as well) and dropped it off with a box of cigars. Ended up quite liking it, so I'm enjoying another glass this evening.
Economy Stuff here mates.

I made a similar mistake with the Quarter Cask once...
I haven't tried that one. What's wrong with it? Reviews on The Whisky Exchange are mostly favourable though a few say they hated it.

It seemed to me like a rougher imitation of the 10yr old. I didn't have both on hand to do a comparison, let alone double blind, so it may all have been in my head, but the initial disappointment stuck.

That's in the cupboard, I'm expecting good things from it.

Thanks. The DWWG recipe is one of the "tried and trued" recipes that I have used over the years and always turns out very nice. I have charred, French Oak sticks in both of the jugs. Others use American Oak.
With my Portuguese pot still I've made Rum, Brandy, Bourbon, but mostly Aguardiente de Orujo (Grappa) over the years. It has been a rewarding hobby.
I've read about those who have distilled spent beer. The results are mixed. If you are interested, this is one of several forums where you can find reliable guidance:
