I heard gin, it's like a bat signal for me. 

 

Current favorites monkey 47, though it is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. 

*Laughs in Single Malt Scotch* lol

 

Unless it isn't 40$ ish a bottle??? 

Looks like about $60-$70 per bottle. 

So... middling compared to most of the whiskies in my cabinet.

It's amazing what an Islay goes for and how used to it I am.

Here my current favorites are Lagavulin 16 ( $98) and Lagavulin 11 Offerman ( $80). I recently bought some Laphroaig Select ($45) and have been very happy with it since it's kinda cheap.

So for me $80 ish is "normal" and $45 is " a great deal".

Also paid $15 for a 4 pack of Untitled Art Ice Cream Cone Pastry Stout ( which is spectacular if you can find it) and didn't consider it to be ridiculously expensive, but definitely not cheap 

I bought a couple 4 packs of Q Tonic a while ago. I ran out of Canada Dry yesterday so I tried making a couple G&T with the Q. I like that it's less sweet but it had almost zero carbonation after pouring it over ice. 

In reply to stroker :

Hm. I was. I see the picture on my end. 

Malfy Pink Grapefruit. 

This one was also amazing!! We're on vacation on the UP and we found it here. It's great.

Gin is not what I typically go for but I found this stuff a while back an totally love it. The first sip is a bit harsh so I usually put it in the glass with a few ice cubes and let it hang for a min. I'd bet shaking it would help too. 

Drinking gin neat is for sociopaths.

<sheepishly raises hand...>

Huh, never knew that.  I'm all in.  

I'm a gin fan, G&T fan, and a straight tonic water fan.  No losing with that trifecta.

I tried it once some time ago, and it's fantastic. One of the best I've ever tried
