Very similar to me then. Its not an occasion i get the bottle out but more a mood and 95% of the time its only a Friday or Saturday evening. Tescos have always surprised me in what they do offer in range and price. £50 is my maximum so far on the grounds of spending more on something i might not enjoy. If i had tried it then yes i wouldn't be against it.
My limit is born out of learning to read tasting notes and being happy that I can make a reasonable judgement about whether I will like it, and that price also allows me to justify the Laphroaig Cairdeas bottlings to myself blind. Beyond that will be by tasting only, and has only happened twice (Ardbeg Triagh Bhan no. 3 & 4) as a 60th birthday present to myself. It’s actually quite ridiculous how much you can spend on a bottle at the top end and I could never justify that sort of price for it.
Im actually tea total apart from whiskey at the correct time . A little of a contradiction perhaps but i drink no other alcohol. Add to that im only a weekend man when i do fancy a taste or two . My kids think its very odd how i drink non apart from whiskey.
