Spent my childhood on the State Line… Born in St. Margaret’s hospital and lived in Hammond, IN 'till the winter of my twelfth year. I still have family in Munster, Dyer and Hammond. I will be back in Dyer on Christmas day. Enjoy the gray of NW Indiana/NE Illinois winter! 
Cheers.

Those are all nice suggestions, and affordable. But, you can’t go wrong with Balvenie Carribean Cask 14 Year, or their Port Wood 21 Year. I am also a big fan of Glendronach.

3 Floyds! Great brews. I’m originally from Indy. Pick up some Sun King whenever you’re inside IN.

Ardbeg Kelpie. Yum !
Actually, anything listed below (page from the scotch menu at the Schoolhouse in Arvada, CO - 1,400 whiskeys available). Could drop as much here as on a set of expensive cables . …

Was sent out today to get a haircut and some booze for a few dinner parties. The East London gin was in house as of last week and is yummy.

I enjoy charts such as these.
If you ever get to the Denver area, the chart is that much more enjoyable in person 
I am absolutely certain of this. 
I have been fortunate to have visited a number of distilleries in Scotland. A couple supplied pitchers of the same water used in making their whiskey for dilution. This makes quite a difference.
That’s on my bucket list: a steam train tour of Scotland’s distilleries.

Whisky is completely lost on me. I was at the Arran distillery a few weeks ago and had a cup of coffee. I much prefer one of these, my favourite tipple.

Always loyal to Islay and peaty ness.
Caol Ila. If in trouble, I’ll give into a Glensomething from the highlands.
And if entertaining crowds, only Grand Old Parr will do, to share of course. JWDB for emergencies.
Wait, is AI collecting on us without consent?
I’ve tasted many of the world’s best, whiskeys, scotch, rum, tequila…Sazerac Rye is hard to beat. Just $35/bottle.

I spent all of 2000 on an International Teaching Fellowship in Scotland. I made it my mission to to try a new whiskey every day…I failed …I only got through 230ish different tipples but it was fun. I discovered that some of the blends made for the Japanese market were particularly easy drinking.
I love the fact that there are some stunning things out there…I just cant afford to drink them lol

A wonderful experience. I bet it was an absolute hoot.
The Japanese have defined tastes, often different than Western preferences. I lived for a year with a master of Japanese pottery. One learns a great deal with this level of exposure.

Yes indeed.
A year with a master…heaven. There are so many things we can learn from being around highly skilled people. Often it is the non verbal communication, the subtle detail, nuanced inflections and gestures that make all the difference.
Agreed and well said.
I greatly enjoyed watching him and his students throwing. They use kick wheels which they power with their feet. It looks like they are gently stroking a round disk at the bottom of the wheel with one foot. They have a great sense of the fluidity of clay.
A nice video, remarkably soothing to watch:
