How about an ice cream joint?  One with a few more options than vanilla, chocolate, & strawberry?

There’s no local ice cream in ABQ. But there is gelato. Frost is a regional brand.

Paleta Bar is better than ice cream.

Well that is a 25 year old whisky. Old enough to drink and vote. I prefer the Islay whiskies to Highland but I wouldn’t turn one down if it was offered. I had a glass or two of Macallan that were $55 each. I wasn’t paying so it was ok.

I bought me & a friend a glass of Macallan 12 for his birthday. Can't remember the price, but it was tasty. This was my only time having it. I was impressed how good it was.

How confusing are the roads there?  All I know about ABQ is that every time Bugs Bunny ended up somewhere he was not supposed to be, he said it was because he took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

IKR?! The roads can be confusing for wascally wabbits. The rest of us do ok, though.

Maybe if it’s your birthday. 
 

But really… what are you looking for in a spendy dram of whiskey? Flavor…warmth…the experience…

I would not spend $50 on a dram in most likely hood.  I like lighter, fruitier, scotches, so I drink Highlands and Speyside.  I really like the Glenmorangie scotches.  I would want something with some vanilla and citrus and spice and not much of the smokey or peaty tastes.

I seldom spend more than $50 - 75 on a bottle.  Have never spent that on a single glass.

Totally not the peaty. :blink:  Tried it, and can say that I'm not a fan.

I'm also not a whiskey drinker, so peaty notes are lost on me. I can do caramel, vanilla, spice...

You would like the Glenmorangie Lasanta I think.  Really any of the Glenmorangies are very nice.

Balvenie Doublewood  is also very nice.

I had a $50 shot of Macallan.  Honestly, I liked the 12 year age better at about 1/5 of the price.  But I no longer drink so nobody cares what I think.  Wait.  Nobody ever cared about what I think.  Carry on.

I care. :console:

There are cool places in ABQ that have no drinking. When you visit, I’ll take you there.
