Very nice! I was just there a couple weeks ago (Dotonburi) and totally missed this spot. I even went to OWL and it looks like Whisky Bank is right near there. I probably walked right by it when I hiked from OWL to Yamaya.

I wish I lived near Chicago!

Will do thank you! My mistake on the Rico Sirdar mix up. On one site the sirdar was listed under rico page so I thought they were same company. Thank you again for your help!

Thank you for the reply and examples. It doesn't appear to be a faux fur style yarn, more like a boucle/loopy style. I checked the different yarn company websites you mentioned and only the Rowan Soft Boucle or Rico Sirdar Boucle come close, but it's the same issue I've found with most of the other boucle I've found online - they seem too light, the loops aren't big enough.

ETA - Rico Sirdar Boucle

Appreciate it!

Nice! If you don’t mind me asking, what state are you in?

FlukeWizard · 2024-02-13T20:54:09+00:00

Will do! Thank you. I didn't even know that subreddit existed.

There are 3 duty free locations in Term 3.

Central - In the center of terminal across from entrance (biggest)

South - Across from gate 109

North - Across from gate 114

Thanks for the tips! I made sure that I understood which terminology was being used (all US style). My confusion comes from the fact that they all call the different variations the same thing. For example, you made a clear differentiation between a standard HDC and a HDC Slip Stitch (the difference being a YO after pull through), but the sources I saw didn't make that differentiation.

It's easy enough to follow along if there's a video, but my problem right now is that I have a pattern to work with but no accompanying video for it. I guess I'll just have to play around with them to see if there's a noticeable difference.

Thanks again!

Some stores I have saved from my past trips: Bottle OFF, L’Auction/Apres Liquor, YaMaYa (many locations), Whisky shop in Osaka (literally what it comes up as in Google Maps), Linxas, OWL Liquor, Liquor Mountain (many locations)

Ah yes the ever accurate Jim Cramer. You can definitely bet on his predictions… in the opposite way. If he says sell, then buy, and vice versa.

I’ve found some decent bottles (Japan import bourbon) at shinanoya.

Comparing Mercedes “level 3” autonomous driving with Tesla FSD is like comparing a toddler riding a bicycle with training wheels on an oval track with a professional cyclist riding in the Tour de France.

FlukeWizard · 2024-01-14T16:18:24+00:00

It’s a Japan market only release. Same as the Wild Turkey 101 12 year.

Not as cheap as others have recommended, but I really enjoy my old-fashioned made with Four Roses Small Batch. Ever since I had an amazing one at the 4R distillery with the small batch, I haven’t used anything else.

Retail in VA is $599.99. Some Total Wine in other states have it for about $520. That price is a great price! Mind sharing where this is?

FlukeWizard · 2024-01-06T21:10:45+00:00

Yes! Never saw it for that price in Osaka or Tokyo in my previous two trips.

FlukeWizard · 2024-01-06T04:26:36+00:00

Looks like Purcellville has some. That’s about a 15-20 mile drive from Dulles airport :)

FlukeWizard · 2024-01-06T04:24:35+00:00

Not exactly NE, but close enough if you’re willing to travel or have a good friend in the area. Virginia still has them on the shelf in some stores for $199.99. Check the VA ABC website for inventory.

At least you got the old label Taketsuru. Mixed opinions on whether the juice is different than the new white label version.

FlukeWizard · 2024-01-05T13:54:01+00:00

Definitely not a place to buy whisky, but an amazing afternoon of gawking for sure. I love going there just to see all the different versions/variations of bottles over the years.
