It’s the oldest piece of clothing I still wear. Bought it in 1991 from a place I imagine you know: Sheplers in Austin. I got a couple of other buckles for it too, but they’re bigger and wouldn’t do for every day.
And no, I don’t have the boots or the hat to go with it. 🤠

I hope he enjoys it, Dubya. Was he familiar with the distillery or is it a totally new one on him?

Entirely new to him. I referenced your family origin (and surname) for authenticity.
The Teapot stuff is a remarkable colour for a scotch whisky: very dark, like black tea that’s been left to stew. Nearly 60% too.

Hoo. Hope it lives up to expectations. Maybe one day I'll have a friend as generous as you and get to try it!

If I ever decide to indulge myself, you’ll be on the guest list. I did drop a little bottle of the 18yo in the basket as a birthday treat to self.
Mistyped ‘birthday’ and the autocorrect panel offered ‘Beth’s balls’. There’s an image that might take the rest of the day to get out of my head.

You'll enjoy the 18. Well bought. I shall look forward to the invite when your pension lump sum matures.

I was bouht an Aultmore 21yo as a present (think about £200!). Very nice but sampling the 18yo belonging to a friend, I have to say the 18yo was better. Age is not necesarily better.....
Talisker 5yo (a private bottling) was incredibly smoky and amazing. Far more flavour than regular Talisker Storm.

I got a couple of other buckles for it too, but they’re bigger and wouldn’t do for every day. And no, I don’t have the boots or the hat to go with it. 🤠 I know Sheplers pretty well, I bought a few things there. They have a counter at the back of the store where they re-steam hats and I once dropped off a friends Stetson. While waiting for the guy to deal with another customer I browsed the hats and boots for sale. Boots over $1000 and $4000 for a bloody hat!!! The bigger buckles should only be worn with a heavily starched white cotton full sleeve shirt with creases sharp enough to cut flesh. And never, ever sit down suddenly while wearing one.
