I love to hear stuff like this. People living exactly how they want to live with little fear. Honestly, after serving in WW2 I don’t imagine he was too concerned about little things. I smoked cigars occasionally in college and I really liked them. Maybe I should start smoking cigars again. ( especially being deep in the whiskey habit )
Does anyone know how you would go about investing in whiskey? You can’t sale booze on Ebay can you? I’m going to guess you would have to get some kind of liquor license and end up dealing with all kinds of tax complications.
The city I live in has an upstart distillery called Dry Fly and they make OUTSTANDING whiskey. It might be cool to store 20 or 30 cases in my basement for ten years them sell them down in California after word has spread. Or, since it’s not sold outside of Washington (sorry suckers) take a few cases down to Ca every year when I go for vacation and sell them under the table to interested establishments.

It is really not a problem.
There are many opportunities to invest in whisky. Using your Internet browser window, just type in the name of your favorite whisky along with a dash mark then the word distillery, as there are distillery web sites that provide investment services for their products.
Invest according to the amount of dollars and years you have available. You can easily purchase a barrel of single malt whisky (new or in the process of maturing) from a distillery in Scotland (my experience) and in so many liters/gallons. The distillery will provide storage, test your whisky through the years, and bottle the “water of life” whenever and ship to wherever you so choose (all these services cost a few dollars, but well worth the investment).
Do you know what a 600-liter plus barrel of forty year old Macallan, Bowmore, or Glenmorangie is worth today? It will definitely make you smile when compared to the overall investment.
You can also form a whisky investment partnership with your family and/or friends.

Grab me some and I’ll swing by before too long.[/quote]
I tell you what, I’ll swap you a bottle of Dry Fly Bourbon for a bottle of that Montana stuff you posted a dozen pages back.

Less than an hour ago I reserved via the Internet three bottles of the newly released “Limited Edition” whisky by JACK DANIELS named SINATRA SELECT. In Florida the per bottle cost is $170 plus tax. Recommend you purchase a minimum one bottle and start your investment collection accordingly. Regarding my purchase, two bottles are for the whisky collection and the other is to share with friends at the appropriate occasion.
And when you purchase whisky for investment, always remember two things: (1) once out of the barrel and bottled, the whisky ceases to age. Thus, a twenty year old bottle of whisky bottled in 1940 is still only twenty years old; and (2) always store your whisky on its side and turn the bottle over every year or so, as you (and the subsequent buyer also) do not want the cork to dry out.
Wife surprised me with a bottle of Talisker tonight at the neighbors party. I thought that was really cool. I really liked it. It tasted completely different than any whiskey I have ever tasted. The best part is I got to drink it with a guy at the party that was a fellow whisky drinker. This guy was also an avid Laphroig drinker.
He said if you like Talisker you will love Laphroig. I understand now what peat and smoke is and I really like it. Ended up drinking about 5 fingers worth and each one tasted better tan the last. THX for everybody on here that recommended Talisker. Cheers

Talisker is definitely my favourite malt. Laphroig I find the peat almost unbearable after one measure though.
