@ShayP During a recent discussion you were telling me of 'dry counties' I assume that you are not in one?
@KSM No, I'm not in a dry county. The only liquor store within 30 miles of me that handles it is on the shelf is currently out of stock but it is on order. The Writer's Tears Japanese Mizunara Cask is above my pay grade. Can't drop $100 on that. However the Writers' Tears Copper Pot is at $40, and should be a good starting point. I trust your judgment that the brand is good stuff.
The closest liquor store near me employs a bunch of rude assholes so I won't do business with them anymore. They said they could order it but acted like it was an absolute inconvenience. Sighing, eye-rolling, pissed off looking faces, taking their good old sweet time. I just stood there fuming and said "Don't worry 'bout it" and left. Fuck 'em.
I'm glad you brought the whiskey up because I forgot about it. I'll roll up there this weekend. They actually have Sunday hours which I found surprising.
