but I chose the top one because it looked familiar. I've saw that same view many a night back in the 70's, and even into the 80's

But I picked Beauty Berries & Verbana because the combination of red green and purple just made me.

A fine scotch whiskey over a fine bourbon.

Glenmorangie 18 Years Old "Extremely Rare"
The Highlands
Price: $100
The Glenmorangie 18 Years Old spends fifteen years of its life in classic Bourbon oak barrels. A portion is then transferred to Oloroso Sherry barrels for the final three years of maturation. These barrels are then reunited to create this silky Scotch, tasting of nuts, dried sticky figs, dates and vanilla. These flavors meld together on the palate in perfect harmony, leaving a nice creamy finish with a hint of fruit, floral, almonds and vanilla. The flavor profile and quality of this exceptional Single Malt Scotch live up to its name: extremely rare.



Woodford Reserve Seasoned Oak Finish
$90
Unlike many other storied Bourbons, Woodford Reserve has only been around since 1996. Despite its youth, we're big fans of the brand. The Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby always makes us feel like we're in the winner's circle. But every once in a while, the distillery — based in Woodford County, Kentucky — puts out a limited edition that surpasses the original. Our favorite Woodford Reserve's Masters Collection, the fourth released, is a bold and spicy concoction. As per its name, it is finished in seasoned oak barrels that have been exposed to the outdoors for three to five years — as opposed to the standard three to five months — resulting in a complex flavor profile that combines hints of wood and pepper with smooth and satisfying caramel. The 100.4-proof Seasoned Oak Finish Bourbon is also noticeably stronger than the distillery's classic 90.4-proof product, providing a substantial bite while still finishing smoothly.
