Because you mentioned Octomore - look for lagavulin distillers edition 2020. All their distillers expressions are beautiful and I think it's a cool way to commemorate the year which got you your promotion. All the best and congrats!

Thank you both!

If you’re looking for something unique I’d recommend Kavalan Solist Ex-Bourbon Cask (if you can find it here)

I have their Solist sherry cask and love it! But you have to be a sherry-head...

If you are going the Yama or Hakushu route could consider other Japanese if you can find them available. Something like nikka aged stated (yoichi or mikayagiko) or my favorite blend is a hibiki 12 or 17, also some taketsuru out there (the 17 is better than the 21 imho, but the NAS stuff is overrated collated to a yoichi or something).

helpful

I still see lots of the NAS stuff but prices have gotten ridiculous. I’ve slowly been drinking my stash down from 2010, but other than a Yama or hak have only seen other age statements 2 times in the last 3 years in store (yoichi and mik 15’s that were still $250)

Have you have the Redbreast 21 before? I only ask because personally (and weirdly I admit) I like the 12 so much more than the 21

I have not, but noted!

Thank you all!

Congratulations! Personally I'll be buying a bottle of Stagg when I find myself in your place, but whatever you decide on, enjoy the well-earned celebration!

When pushing for a tier promotion (level 2 to level 3), is there a best way to also say what I want to be paid? Or do I just accept the pay increase that the promotion brings and wait until an annual review to negotiate a new salary? The requirements for the level 3 include 4 YoE, with 6 YoE preferred. I’ll have 5 when I push for the promotion, so I’d want more than the base level of pay in the range.

Looking for suggestions.
I'm a scotch whisky drinker, pretty much exclusively, apart from a few select Irish bottles. Live in Ireland. So go tos would be Springbank, Kilkerran, Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Arran, Highland Park, Glengoyne...

On many visits to the US I've tried various Bourbons. Never very successful. Always seemed overly sweet and syrupy to my palette.

But I'm sure there are great choices out there.

What would you suggest as quality American whiskies for a scotch fanatic?

Maybe this is a cultural thing, but I need outside input. My nephew just turned 18, and I got him a bottle of Four Roses. Obviously, we live in the US and he isn't 21, but I'm realistic and know he's already drinking. Plus, growing up outside the US (UK) I was drinking before the drinking age with my father and uncles. I thought of it as a coming-of-age type thing, but my sister-in-law was totally shocked and a little angry at me. Was I wrong for thinking this wasn't a big deal?
