    Who Is The Best Oriental Blender With McClelland Now Gone

    If you're a fan of the Grand Oriental Series then I'd suggest G.L. Pease's Cairo, Temple Bar and Regents Flake. A lot of folks like Embarcadero but not so much here. I would also toss in Robert McConnell's Scottish Flake. And, SG BS Flake from The Danish Pipe Shop.

    McClelland: "We're Just Going to Close the Doors"

    I know it must be a very sad time for them both. I hope they can look back and be proud of what they accomplished. They've brought us many years of happiness. I wish them nothing but the best in their time ahead.

    McClelland Panic

    It's only been a month since they chimed in on the "A Message From Mike & Mary McNiel" thread, it but feels like the message is getting lost already. "Mike and Mary have exacting standards for the leaf they use for 5100, but that doesn't mean that there isn't good red Virginia out there. All...

    Favorite Bourbon Whiskey?

    +1 on the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. Even though it's usually 50ish a bottle, I think it's awesome stuff. Rare Breed is in the same vein and cheaper, but I'd rather drink the RRSB.

    5Star....R & G are a great story for sure. An extremely talented duo and to see them in person is a special thing! They have a lot of live stuff on YouTube if interested.

    Can I Learn How To Drink Bourbon Or Whiskey?

    We all taste things differently and we like what we like. If 18 year old Macallan tasted like kerosene to you, then bourbon or Irish will probably taste like premium unleaded. I'll echo Workman's thoughts and say try your hand at rum instead. There's a lot of great rum out there and top shelf...

    What Blend Have You Discovered This Year?

    I've had two that were pleasant surprises and added to the cellaring list. Samuel Gawith's Brown Sugar Flake (BS Flake) and G.L. Pease's Temple Bar. And while I enjoyed McClelland's 40th Anniversary blend, it's not one that I'm going to be stocking up on. I'm sitting on plenty of Christmas...
