Good thread.

I have a bottle of Macallan Single Malt scotch that I bought in 2003. I'm still nursing it. I'm afraid to drink it all since I bought it in England and probably won't find it again.

Distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2002.

The Macallan

It looks like some places online will sell and deliver it to you (depending on your state laws) for a fair price. If you really enjoy it, you may want to check it out.

If I can chill before drinking, I'm happy to stick to two cubes, otherwise it would be pretty tough. I do know exactly what you mean about the melting effect though John, in some drinks it just taste appropriate.

As always, there are good deals online, but with this type of stuff, I am happy to pay extra to buy locally.

BTW, since we're announcing ourselves as alcoholics I might as well throw in some fine ethnic foods.

Number 1 would be Thai (of course) since I grew up eating it.

Number 2 is Italian. Damn, they make some great seafood dishes. I remember a long weekend in Venice where I thought I was in food heaven. Rome was good because of the diversity, but Venice had better seafood.

In fact, I like most Mediterranean foods like Moroccan, Greek, Lebanese, and Spanish.

I stand corrected, friend. You have fine taste in liqueurs.

If I'm ever in your area, which is a good possibility, I'll have to try it.

Yeah, especially if it's something that nice. The wait in the mail would be mind-numbing

I vote for peruvian food, minus the guinea pig entrees, lol. There's a place i ate at in Boston and it's by far the best food I've ever eaten in my entire life.
Also, in the north east, mainly NYC , if you can find a muslim Indian restaurant, try it!

Alright, alright, I give. Normally I wouldn't touch the stuff, but you two seem pretty sure of yourselves.

I'll go with Italian first, followed by thai. One of the best italian seafood dishes I experienced was in san francisco of all places. I forget the name of the joint, but it was on a pier overlooking the water. Between the girl and I, I think only around $100 including a bottle of wine.
