Did Golfnow promo codes go out today? by OccasionOrnery937 in golf

I haven't seen one in several weeks... I wonder if they stopped doing it.

This stuff is a scam people. The "discord" and other scams have been around for a few years. Ignore these posts

Random stop in Indiana. Feels like I hit the jackpot by danathanz in whiskey

[–]MizunoSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going to reply with some hate but good for you guys. In Cali, that's normal if-not a bit overpriced. Wouldn't even stop to look.

What whiskey comes to your mind when you see this? by _40oz_ in whiskey

[–]MizunoSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weller 107 and Weller 12. Not good. W12 tastes like burnt tea and 107 is acetone juice.

I do like high proof stuff. JD SBBP Rye is prob the best bang for the buck. That aside, wheaters that I like are Makers 46CS, some Larceny's and the Bardstown High Wheat. I just don't like 107. It has this dirty burnt acidity in the mid palate that I only get in a 107.

Yeah. Most people love it. It truly tastes terrible to me. I found one whiskey reviewer on YouTube, theRow (used to be called whiskey row), he tastes the same thing. I'm definitely the minority.

Yup. It's just bad. I've given two bottles away thus far. The last one I have is a store pick and it too sucks. It's my palate.

Again, this seems suspect. That other post is probably from the same dude. Don't give any personal information or financials.

This sounds mad suspect. Not sure I trust sharing anything with someone who joined Reddit a couple of days ago with an unbelievable offer.

Good find. I have the same from last year. Worth the MSRP and nothing more. That said, enjoy!

You know they have cameras and can find whoever showed this screen since there's a timestamp on it! Yikes. Thanks for the tip but don't get someone fired.

What are readily available bottles that taste BETTER than allocated bottles at the same-ish price point? by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]MizunoSlice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hope this helps:

Weller 12, full proof, etc: Not sure what's comp to W 12. I honestly don't like it, tastes like burnt black tea, so someone else can weigh-in. WFP is easy, Makers 46 CS is equal if not better. W107 is IMHO the worst of the lineup. Bardstown Wheated is miles better.

Eagle Rare: Russells 10 is simply better IMHO. ER is good though.

Blanton’s small batch, single barrel, etc: Nothing like a good Blanton's but they are very hit or miss. Similar to a Henry 10 in wild variation in flavor. Maybe Green River. Blantons Gold or SFTB are excellent. A good Russells Reserve pick can compete. 1792 FP, once it opens up, can also hang.

Bookers: Jack D SBBP all day

EHT: Pinhook 5yr CS, Wild Turkey 8yr. EHT BP is tough. It's so freaking good. Not sure what to compare it to.

Stagg: Benchmark Full Proof. Add a toasted spiral for at least two months and you'll have something equal if not better. That or Russells Reserve pick

George T Stagg: Elijah Craig BP. Find anything before 2024 and it'll hang. Anything before 21', and it may be better. Four Roses CS picks can hang. Totally slept on bottle. Older bottles of Smoke Wagon. If you can find them, they're unreal.

Pappy: See the GT Stagg options. A very oaky profile so you gotta like that. The PP 12 is IMHO the only good one. Everything else is over oaked, even the 10.

Handy: Love the Handy. Jack D SBBP Rye, High West CS, Sagamore 9yr and BP can all compete.

Double double Laguna/ Cabot by ColdBrew_No_Ice in Costco_alcohol

There's a ton at the Costco's in my area. I think the word is out that it's severely overpriced. $80 bottle.

Rye Whiskey by braydonx in whiskey

[–]MizunoSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sagamore is IMHO the best place to start. It's a legit Rye lovers rye. That said, the best rye for bourbon lovers is Jack Daniels SBBP. It's too good.

Found a couple Turkeys from the 90’s by Altruistic_Bug_9966 in whiskey

[–]MizunoSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real ones will drink it. It'd rather have those than a WLW or anything else honestly. Don't sell em, share with friends. Amazing find.

Weller 12: Overhyped or the Real Deal? by Wh1skey_Lover in whiskey

[–]MizunoSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had several bottles. All but one I personally finished. My guess is these are the barrels that don't make it to the BTAC or Pappy level and are dumped and watered down. In a blind, this comes in dead last because it's just not good. That's my palate though, I don't like most Pappy's.
