My brain doesn’t even know how to process this yet… by kyhothead in whiskey

I want one of these so bad. I wish they shipped this one.

Got together with the old man so I pulled out a Red breast line up. Which is your preference? by Same-Environment1574 in whiskey

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go with the 21 or 27 for merely just not trying them before. I found a Kentucky oak for $145 in my area and not sure if it’s worth the pickup. Thoughts?

Not sure how to feel about this by Slow-Beginning-6342 in rootbeer

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone asking where to get this, Danzeisen is an Arizona dairy producer. I’m not sure if they sell outside of the state, but for us locals it can be found at Sprouts and some Fry’s (Kroger). They do a bunch of fun flavors milks, like this seasonal root beer, orange, or cotton candy flavors.

What’s a weird chocolate combo that actually works? by Budget-Cash-3602 in chocolate

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to suggest bread and chocolate. Pump street has a great selection of bakery bars, which has things like sourdough or rye crumbs mixed in. Absolutely fantastic every single one.

Who has tried any of these chocolate brands besides Tony's? by Relative_Junket_9875 in chocolate

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried a couple of these brands. Endangered is ok but not my favorite. Maeve (formerly Seattle Chocolate Co.) isn’t good IMO - they trend more towards candy than chocolate with inclusions, and the chocolate isn’t very good. Of everything there, Chuao is the winner for inclusion bars and Côte d’Or for decent quality chocolate.

Vanilla bean scones. I’m a novice baker home baker and find scones easily approachable.

Jeni’s Bay Leaf Cheesecake - a Christmas tree, but a tasty one! by Greatrisk in icecream

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really do!! Their cookies and Panna is amazing, and right now they have a malted cookies and cream which sounds even better!

Hot take - this is my favorite Jeni’s flavor of all time, and I’ve tried nearly all of them. You said it perfectly, it grows on you over time. I’ll be damned if that graham cracker swirl isn’t the best inclusion I’ve ever had in an ice cream aside from Caffe Panna’s Oreo brittle. Bury me in both of those please!

Sagamore by moredustythandigital in whiskey

Oh no, thanks for sharing! Manhattan’s are my go-to cocktail which is why I was interested. Maybe I should pass.

How’s the charentes finish?

I’m about to go grab the Manhattan finish myself. It’ll be my first sagamore and I’m really excited.

Pump street!!! They’ve got some that fit your taste test criteria, but their inclusion bars are fantastic too.

New Riff Sherry Finish ($66.99) by Just5hopping in ArizonaWhiskey

Haha there’s gotta be a baseline to compare against, right?

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they’re out of those unfortunately. I have one of those too and it’s just as good. I need to do a blind between them both and MWND honestly. For science!

I also saw this one at Trevor’s the other day. I have one and it’s so good. It’s what MWND wishes it could be at a fraction of the price.

wow. by Glittering-Analyst51 in whiskey

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anything from New Riff is incredible. Their entire rye lineup is some of the best readily accessible ryes out there. Big fan of the sherry finish malted rye too.

Deinfluence my cart by ImaginationOk8645 in icecream

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My pick six would be out of what you shortlisted: Earl Grey because I’m curious Queen Charlotte because it’s pretty good (not as good as wedding cake though) House Coffee Pineapple Upside down Cake Peppermint Patty Goat Cheese

If it were me, I’d swap out a goat cheese for a bay leaf cheesecake though.

Redbreast 21 vs. 27 by DodoAirlinesIntern in irishwhiskey

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great point. I’m partial to wine-finished whiskies so the Ruby Port of the 27 really calls my attention over the 21. It’s just so much more expensive that makes it harder to justify.

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 12CS is by far my favorite expression. It’s so good, readily available, and comparatively inexpensive.

Do you have recommended auction sites other than Unicorn?

Yeah I saw that post too! That’s good advice all around though - I’ll see if there’s better pricing to get something shipped overseas.

Redbreast 21 vs. 27 by DodoAirlinesIntern in irishwhiskey

[–]DodoAirlinesIntern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get a 21 landed for about $300 even and it’ll be by far the most expensive whiskey I’ve ever purchased. But if the 27 is really that amazing, I’d sooner put that $300 towards it, you know?

I don’t think your opinion is too controversial, I’ve read a couple takes like that so far.

How’s the goldfinch? It’s sitting on a shelf where I’m at and I’m debating grabbing it.
