He said, "Son, never get used to drinking a brand of scotch if you're not sure you can afford to keep drinking it."
 
Good advice for any top-shelf wiskey.
 
Sometimes it can go the other way. When I was in school I had a buddy who was a H&H Pinch drinker. Back then that was one of the top drawer Scotches. Bob drank a bottle a week of it. In those days a bottle ran around 12 bucks a fifth.
 
When I throw parties I stock two types of everthing: Top-shelf, for those who appreciate it, and low cost for all the others. For an upcoming party my liquor guy, at the time, turned me on to a new Scotch. Crawfords (which, it turns out, was a single malt before that became popular). Price: $4.50/quart.
 
Bob was visiting a few days before the party, saw the Crawfords, and wondered what it was. "Let's open it and find out," I said. Suiting deed to word we opened it and had a dram. Bob's eyes lit up, and he described it in glowing terms. And immediately switched from the Pinch to the Crawfords as his regular drink.

He was a practical man... When he was sober.

And I've found I could apply a version of that advice to the women I've... Winkwell, we'll just leave it at that.

   I tried Noah's Mill the other day...

     now that was a fine drink!

   I bought the bottle for my brother, as a gift for some skilled work that he did for us...I may have to get a bottle of this for myself as well!
