SPIRITS
As the song goes, "🎵 These are a few of my favorite things! 🎶 🎼," be they Tennessee Roaming Man rye; Lagavulin 16 ; W. L. Weller 12 wheated bourbon; or Tesseron Emotion XO Cognac; or E&J XO brandy
I have had the pleasure of tasting all of these spirits over the past decade except for the very first one. While I do have a bottle, it remains a mystery to me. I am a huge fan of Lagavulin 16 and the W. L. Weller wheated bourbons. And the Tesseron is incredible! (I’m no spirits critic. Just a fan. I leave the criticism to others who are linked below each photograph of the bottles pictured here.) Much to my surprise, I located two bottles of Weller 12 where I now live in California for a mere $269 each. I used to purchase Weller 12 back in Tennessee just a couple years ago for about $70 a bottle! This particular liquor store even has a bottle of Weller C.Y.P.B. for a cool $999.99. I didn’t purchase either since I do have a small supply of lesser Wellers. All these spirits can be described as those for a special occasion. Trouble is, special occasions may only come along every once in a while. It should be said that more regular occasions are worthy of a fav, too, such as E&J XO brandy, for example. Happy sipping!
