Yes, except I’m trying to purge.
Whiskey drinkers in the DMV… looks like the FOP Lodge 1 is selling their leftover Jack Daniel’s barrel select barrel proof bottles from their illegal sales operation for $65 each, below cost (and they have a lot).

The best bottle on the ship. But does anyone know a simple tool or method for opening quality Armagnac and some Cognacs that have these heavy ceramic-like seals? I generally have to chip them away, which leaves a hell of a mess and pretty much destroys the edge of a blade.

Thanks, I've seen that advice and I'm hesitant to judge how much banging is "gently", and also hesitate to risk a $100+ bottle experimenting. 
I also don't like the jagged hard wax it leaves on the bottle neck after the cork is remove unless you go banging and prying some more.
I guess I was hoping for some kind of electrically heated wire thingy that would slice right through and leave a smooth-surfaced lip. Ah well...
The Laubade, along with others, is covered with material so hard it feels and chips almost like ceramic tile.

Seemed like an appropriate night to break my “don’t drink alcohol during the work week” rule.
I had to zoom in to confirm that she’s not an actual genie..

That’s a beautiful label. I’m a sucker for great packaging.
Can you give some tasting notes? I really like balvenie so I want to pick one up

I love Balvenie and another member posted this bottle, I hadn’t seen it until then. I thought the same thing. Finally found it!

Getting your fruit in is part of any balanced diet.
This single barrel is mediocre, so it's best as a mixer.

I’m a Maker’s fan, and figured this was going to be the best price, if I can even find it anywhere else…
Just about killed a store pick bottle, so I don’t feel bad getting this.

$65 is as good as you'll find for the MM BEP. Nice score. I'm looking for one or more, but not with much effort. I'm still working on my FAE 1&2 (and backups).

Still on the hunt for mine lol! Nice score
This makes me sad...
I've been noticing that demerara sugar is all of a sudden not on shelves where I live. I will need to order online. Anyone have a particular brand they prefer for old fashioneds? I just ran out of C&H which was ok
Thank you, @Klobberer. It’s very good. Now I’m sad that I traded away my bottle after having a bar pour. But I can get batch 2 now.

So, get this, we were in the Netherlands Antilles a decade ago scuba diving and my wife bought a box of tea bags to make tea and a box of Dutch made sugar cubes to sweeten them with. She seated they “taste better” but to me it’s the same Demerara flavor. Well, we bring a few boxes back and she only uses them to sweeten her tea, but they eventually run out. So I’m over here every few years buying a kilo or two of sugar cubes from the Netherlands and having them shipped to the USA.
