Without intending so, I may have become a whisky hipster.<br /><br />Part of me does like all that Shackleton flair. It reminds me of when I used to buy DVDs like crazy. I loved the extra goodies. But after a while I began to focus on the product itself. Was it good or was the flair there to distract? I almost got my hands on a sample of the first Shackleton release.

I mean, visit your house.<br /><br />Considering whiskey and whisky used to be shipped in wooden crates (see the Shackleton packaging), your storage is decidedly retro.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-22932053226250869532013-06-07T16:54:39.858-04:002013-06-07T16:54:39.858-04:00I can't wait to do my Springbank vertical!

I&#...Hey, I recognize that little Springbank tube.<br /><br />I've just devoted a bunch of shelf space in the upper part of my main liquor cabinet to samples.
