Taylor Fladgate 2017 Vintage port up now. Didn't buy because I probably won't live into the drinking window.
Edit: I changed my mind, and bought one. Maybe I'll get lucky and live into my 90s.

Re: What SCOTCH are you drinking?
I bought a bottle of the regular Highland Park bottling a few days ago. I hadn't had one in years, and wanted to compare it to others using my current palate.

Further notes: I'm enjoying a shot of Old Forester 1920 now, and I have to say, that I can't think of a corn-rye Bourbon that can beat this one on a QPR basis. Stagg, maybe, if you can find it at release price....but I've never seen it in a store.

Casey--If I were you, I'd leave that field idle. Economically, things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. The bottoms will drop out of many markets. I'd bet that, a year from now, we might see 30% unemployment in this country. It's a time for retrenchment and belt-tightening.
