I first came across Bond at an auction, and figured that I already have enough expensive habits, so I left it alone and never bought a bottle (same goes for Petrus, but I should try them both). Cheers!

• bestdamncab says:

  8/2/2013 6:21:00 AM - Have you tasted 23 year old Pappy Van Winkle? Lovely bourbon, that and George Stagg.
