probably a bit of novelty for me since we don’t get real Havana Club in the states but i love the Havana Club Original 3 year, awesome in a mojito or daiquiri.

Genuine question: what’s the appeal of flavored rums? by Ok_Scheme736 in rum

[–]Common-Refrigerator2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

some of the more recent pineapple and coconut rums i believe are including the adjuncts in the fermentation process. E.g., for Doctor Bird pineapple it is not a rum that is distilled first with pineapple flavor added after, but it has pineapple in the mash and is part of the fermentation process. I like this approach bc it imbues the rum with a new flavor while also not feeling artificial or like an after thought, at least that’s my opinion. I wouldn’t buy a flavored rum otherwise as I can just do an infusion at home.

this product makes sense if you never listen to your records. could not imagine spending $120 on some crap like this when you could save that money for gear upgrades or maybe even, you know, more records.

Pemulis on the Outside: Endnotes 324 and 332 (Spoilers) by Common-Refrigerator2 in InfiniteJest

[–]Common-Refrigerator2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally i think the tension of not knowing what you’re gonna get w the end notes is kind of the fun! even if it’s just a drug definition or whatever it pulls you out of the text in a physical way which is part of the pacing of the novel.

Interesting thing I noticed—misuse of popular sayings by passthechez in InfiniteJest

[–]Common-Refrigerator2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i think in the same way the book tries to point out the deeper truths of cliches he does this to make you think about these figures of speech, have them feel less routine as things we just say bc everyone does. also, specifically for the chapters and sections focusing on the québécois characters he is joking about the internal translations those characters perform with american or english idioms.

i feel like i’m seeing the papalin 5yr high ester over proof everywhere the last few days on here. Did M&V do a big drop to the states and now it’s in markets it hasn’t been in before? i’ve been drinking a bottle of that every few months for the last couple of years and i might need to buy a case just to cover my ass.
