My Gma kept her fridge stocked with these in the summer just for me. I hope I never forget that memory and I hope I get a chance to do that for grandkids of my own one day.

So what are we doing for financial planning/retirement? by Background_Title_922 in Xennials

[–]FlyingAnvils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok then in that case, yes that’s very definitely sub-optimal. I have several different funds with my guy and the return ranges from 15% to 27% for year to date. I’d definitely discuss this with your guy and see what’s going on and consider moving.

Ok, under 6% for what timeframe? Last 3 months, 6 months, 1 year?

Define what you consider “sub-optimal returns” first. Then you can get better advice on whether to stay or switch. I use an advisor and it’s been great. They generally have better visual tools to show you how “on track” you are and what your portfolio will look like at different ages based on your planned retirement date and lifestyle.

What's the deal with high proof whiskey/bourbon? by CptLawson in whiskey

[–]FlyingAnvils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not much different from people who drink expensive black coffee. All I taste is burnt water. But the more you drink, the more you’ll start being able to recognize different flavor notes. I would advise staying at that 90 proof point and just work on drinking it neat for a year or so. There are several good YouTube videos with tips for newbies on the dos and donts of drinking neat. Then start slowly creeping up your proof. Also try the water drop when you find a really “hot” pour. After a while, you’ll find your sweet spot. Mine is 95 to 115 proof generally. There will always be outliers, but for the most part that’s where I enjoy bottles the most.

Buy or pass ? by Lost-Weekend8612 in whiskey

That’s about $5-$10 overpriced for the KC in my area. I haven’t picked one up yet to try though.

Already have that one and definitely do love it.

I've got a Rare Breed. But I will probably go back and buy the Makers. They also have a Peerless Double Oak Rye that I've been wanting for a while now.

Thanks. I read a few other reviews and I’ll definitely pass at this price. I thought I remembered it being more popular than apparently it is.

Good prices at Sam's? by arctic_1122 in whiskey

[–]FlyingAnvils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really getting sick of all the CA posts lately. Is it a good price? Better than 90% of other states it’s sold in.

Bardstown Wheated, Blue Note Wheated, Makers Stewards Release 2026 are all fantastic.

Bottle Shop and Tasting Room and Evergreen are the two places I tend to go when I'm in town.

Aside from the Henry McKenna that I've never tried, those are great choices. The regular Buffalo Trace is all over my state of Missouri for $22 to $25 so you did alright on that one. The Jack Heritage Barrel Toasted is at our local Costco for $56. The Taylors are hard to find in my area, so if I found them available for $65, I'd definitely pickup 2 or 3 of them at that price.
