This whiskey came up in another thread on Bear insider forum so I ordered it, and I was so impressed that I thought I'd post it for everyone else to see. I ordered it from gold bar distillery website with a coupon that took 10% off. I actually ordered two and my business partner who is also a Cal grad saw it and really liked it so I gave him a bottle and I'm going to order a couple more to give as gifts to my Cal grad friends. The coupon code was TRYGOLD. I have no affiliation with them and have not tried the whiskey, although some in that thread felt the whiskey was pretty good.

This is the only whiskey this Mick drinks.




Yamazaki 55 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 750ml

without Cal on the label it is just not as classy Would love to have that bottle on my shelf. I had the 18 year old Yamazaki and may still have a trace left and it was delicious. Good solid whiskey

At that price ($1,500), it better be.

***. At that price, that $h1t better give me a screaming O and cook me pancakes in the morning.

I'm assuming the university is not in the business of making and selling whiskey.

Therefore, it's trademark/logo infraction: illegal.
And of course, at $1500 per bottle.

The maker probably slaps similar stickers on UTexas, Florida, UCLA, etc.

Side hustle.

The Cal Whiskey is $50.

Hmmm
I guess one can still buy a decent Kirkland 1.75 L bottle, cut it down to two 750ml bottles for same price, and drink the rest.

A "fun" side gig, not a huge money maker.
Volume can't be that big, can it?

I assume no one priced the cost of the whiskey I mentioned in my post. I can't let my stab at humor languish any further:

Sorry, not a whiskey drinker or any alcohol other than wine once in awhile with dinner.

I assumed the joke was that an Irish person only drinking Japanese whiskey instead of Irish whiskey.

Admit I completely missed the intended humor.

My coworker used to get choice Yamazaki at airports when he would travel to Japan for himself and his father in law.. Now he has to go hunting for them at Don Quijote stores across Tokyo.

Okay, if I'm going to get Kirkland whiskey and put it in a special bottle for resale, it sure as hell ain't going to be in a damn Cal bottle!!
