I(30M) am just wondering if you guys ever stopped thinking about money. Even when you hit a number that you were trying to reach, did it matter that much, or did you still think about spending habits, saving, etc. I'm at around $1.9M net worth so I still feel quite far away from comfort.
My friend brought this to try
Price: $100
Nose: really grapey, I guess from the port, super sweet, candy, cherry, fruit cake, mild baking spice, malt, sweet bread,
Palate: lots of strawberry, grape, and cherry, mouth feel is below avg, not too complex, mostly flavor in the front palate with a lot of fruitiness.
Finish: spice lingers a bit, a bit off putting bitterness, oak, short finish, a bit non existent.
Score: 5.5/10
It's ok, it's really fruity on the front palate but lacking afterwards. Finish isn't the best, odd bitterness there. The nose is actually quite nice though. Pretty dense grape flavor with secondary fruit. Overall slightly above avg whiskey.
