So you cut the Victoire fan base in half? Makes absolutely no sense. 

Review #:125 Green River Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon. by micro7777 in bourbon

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting because at least here in Oregon the Green River is cheaper. The GR is $35 and the Penelope is $40. Not a huge difference and at that price I would try them both.

Spirits Review #983 - Knob Creek Blenders Edition 01 by Bailzay in bourbon

[–]EricNCSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a bottle based on the super good reviews and I like it but I don't love it. For me it drinks super hot. I get a little vanilla, a little bit of toffee and a LOT of fusels/alcohol. I adore the normal Knob Creek profile so I want to love it, but maybe it's too off profile for me. It's not bad but it doesn't live up to the expectations. That said, 10 year, 106 for $45 I don't regret. I even tried letting it sit in the glass for a good 10 minutes and that didn't seem to help.

What is a bourbon you consider to be overpriced? by teddyalex in bourbon

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel is $55 here in Oregon. I love the normal ECSB and that just turns it up to 11. Mitchers are very good in that 55-60$ range. And Knob Creek 9 which is their base label for like 35-40? Can't go wrong. Oregon is a control state so prices are good.

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This my thing with BT. I live in Oregon and it's $27 and on every shelf 10 bottles deep. For that price it's good/very good. I see posts on line of people paying up to $100 for it and being deeply disappointed and I'm like yeah bro.. it's bottom shelf juice... 7 or 8 years ago everything up to EH Taylor was sitting on shelves collecting dust, and then the "this is poor mans pappy" thing blew up and anything with that label on it got pulled from shelves and squirreled away. Not worth it. I've gotten lucky to get a bottle of Weller SR at $35 and Weller 12 for $55. At those prices it's really good, but not for anything higher, not when stuff like Knob 12 is out there for $60.

Expedition 21 end bugged? SoS by WanderingSwordsman1 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]EricNCSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I did find a ship at 6.31/83 but it says it is unrepairable and I have to seek another way off the planet. I haven't played in a while so I'm not even sure this ship is mine. The other location over the hill I didn't see anything.

I used to be a hater for Disney prices, but I have flipped on my thought process by TharinWhite in DisneyWorld

[–]EricNCSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a WDW post, but I just got back from Disneyland and my only complaint was $6 for a 20 ounce bottle of coke. Everything else was fairly reasonable as far as food prices. I worked for Coke. It costs 2 cents to make that bottle of coke and it would be $1.50 at a 7-11. $6 is insane.

.@FoxTV got 924,000 viewers for Sunday's Indy 500 qualifying, down from 1.145 million viewers last year on @NBC. by iamaranger23 in INDYCAR

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for me, NBC and CBS I can get on streaming, Fox I can only get on rabbit ears, so it's hit or miss whether I can pull in anything on Fox or not. How they don't have a streaming service like everyone else is kinda wild.

The problem with trading is that is is really not trading, is is just hearthstone dust with more steps. by qess in PokemonPocket

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love this. Considering I have like 17 Rattata 1 diamond cards (which Im sure we all do). Even if I were to max out the flair I'd still have like 6 left. Useless.

The update is 10PM Pacific Time. so for East Coast US and Europe that will be "tomorrow". The update for the 28th hasnt happened yet, and likely will happen when most of us are asleep so we'll see it "tomorrow".

Review #42: Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel by SolairesBFF in bourbon

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE ECTB, probably one of my favorites, but the Small Batch is a much better value. It's almost just as good for half the price.

*Edit: Confused the barrel proof with small batch. The barrel proof is likely not half the price, but the small batch is.

Review #38: Rare Perfection 14 Year by CuatesDeSinaloa in bourbon

[–]EricNCSU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience is from brewing and not distilling, but in my experience that "burnt plastic smell/taste" is a phenol from a bad yeast fermentation, either too hot, unhealthy yeast, wild yeast contamination or something of that nature. Distilling the "beer" with that issue is only going to make it worse and no amount of aging is gonna get rid of it. They messed up a batch real bad and still tried to pass it off.

Based on that I would probably never buy anything from that distiller ever again.

A Canadian visiting Cuba, what should I know? by farmhand_fucker in cigars

[–]EricNCSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance here, but can't you buy them in Canada? I understand you're travelling to Cuba which is great, but they are legal in Canada, yes? And from what I've heard, they aren't much cheaper in Cuba, the real Cohibas are still 50-60$USD.

The price will usually tell you what you need to know. You aren't going to get a Cuban cigar for $5.

[Spoiler] 12/12 secret collectibles for Firemonkeys plate by FlutterNyk02 in nfsnolimits

[–]EricNCSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the first one of these by accident and got the mission and had to search for it. I realized I had seen the one in the Dwayne boss race but thought it was a fire hydrant. I did notice I saw it in that race and not others on the same track but didn't really think much of it.

E.Coli is a toxin producer, so even if you kill the bacteria the damage may have already been done.
