there are 4 or 5 of us that enjoy scotch and started trying to get together every month or so and the host bought the bottle. Buying good scotch is like cooking brisket for the first few times....too expensive to screw the pooch and guess wrong picking an untasted bottle!! I’ve had a few hundred dollars worth of scotch in my cabinet that I hated and had to find someone that liked it, to take it! At one time I had 2 flasks going back and forth between a few people. The premise was “the friendly flask”...fill it with a good scotch you have/had and give it to a recipient with info on contents. When recipient finishes, they fill it and pass it along. Resorted to this since kids grew up and free time disappeared. Worked well for a while, but has fizzled out in the last year.
