Oh god I forgot about this sh*t.
On top of the stress of trying to cop a pair, you might get a pair with a messed up weave. Or what sometimes happened with the NikeID's, you would get one shoe that was 80% red and one shoe that was 80% green.
Visited Paris over the weekend and found these two in LMDW. Usually more into Scotch but with 89 for the Blanton's and 39 for the WellerbI couldn't pass up. Meanwhile, all the Scotch was ridiculously overpriced.
It's nice but overpriced. Value wise I consider the Harmony a 40/50 dollar whisky, but it's nice and inoffensive I guess. In that price range, looking at blends I would definitely take a Dewar's 21 yo over the Hibiki.
There are a lot of rules regarding Scotch Whisky, but the amount of distillations isn't one of them. So triple distilled whisky can still be Scotch Whisky (Auchentoshan for instance distills 3 times). It is not common in Scotland though.
Picked up these 2 blends. The Compass Box is a mix of 23 YO Macallan, 25 YO Highland Park, 37 YO Caol Ila and some other other 25/26 YO whiskies. Seeing as both Compass Box and Dewar's haven't disappointed me in the past, I'm hoping these will be worth it.
