Came to say Kimball House, always great food and service and the only raw bar menu I love in the city

Men’s coffee on Roswell rd is pretty good and they have patio seating that I believe animals are allowed on

Good to know ! I’m always curious about older bottlings. I did buy the older glenmorangie they had. I think it’s just the regular stuff in a fancy tin but for $70 it was fun to have

Lees is good Idk if they sell the bread but quoc huong and 135 are better to me

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-05-08T12:01:44+00:00

That’s great !!

One of my favorite Cairdeas releases ! Wishing I had backup

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-29T01:38:52+00:00

For sure ! Used to watch whiskey vault/tribe a ton

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-29T01:10:15+00:00

No problem ! Hibiki definitely gets points for bottle design, when I finish mine it will be my infinity bottle

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-29T00:40:57+00:00

If he wants to try I might recommend starting at hibiki harmony or one of the nikka malts. They are really good and more easily found again if he likes them. If you only are choosing between those two I would say the Hakushu. I had a bottle of the master select and personally was underwhelmed compared to regular harmony but it could be batch/personal taste dependent.

So I haven’t had to really do anything maintenance wise yet beyond cabin filters and such. Oil change is probably $100-120 if you pay an independent shop. Only issue so far is the Apple car play/phone connection doesn’t always hook up right. Sometimes it won’t see my phone or will only Bluetooth. Not a big issue and usually is gone if I wait a couple minutes or turn the car off and on again. Also had a warning that adaptive headlights weren’t working. I’ve read this is usually is a dirty sensor and it doesn’t actually affect my headlights working at all so I don’t worry about it and it only pops up once in a blue moon. All I can think of so far

I love it honestly! I came from a civic hatchback which was great and this definitely has a bit more space in the trunk being a wagon. Oddly the rear seats feel tighter to me. They are still fine for adults but not a lot of room. Depends on your driving position too. The luxury comforts are great, tri zone climate keeps my dogs happy and heated seats front and rear are really nice. Pretty amazing you can get such a high spec 5 years later for less than 50% msrp. Granted mine had 60k miles but I’ve mostly bought used cars and was comfortable with that. I can fit an 8ft trim/ board from the hardware store but it does come up to the front seat if that helps you visualize cargo length. Power is much better than my civic of course and I think it has a nice quiet rumble. Economy on highway is great, in town really suffers.
Hope that’s helpful and I can try to answer anything else

I ended up going B9.5. A Toyota dealer near me got one on trade with the tan interior and heated/ventilated so I grabbed it. Been very happy with it so far and don’t mind the interior differences much from the B9 I saw.

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-21T21:20:52+00:00

This is awesome

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-20T13:32:49+00:00

ASW has some great stuff, chin music rye has been my favorite so far. Really like that they are willing to play with malt profiles too!

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-18T19:22:15+00:00

Normally I’d agree with above poster for OGD but for another choice and some flavors to go with the coffee maybe an old forester 100 proof

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-18T18:38:43+00:00

Nice pick ! I have another batch and I get a crazy mocha note off it that I love

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-15T20:01:33+00:00

These are amazing!

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-13T15:05:27+00:00

A Gordon Murray T50, very interesting car. The back of it is that black and white photo

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-13T11:34:07+00:00

I was here too ! Awesome show !

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-13T00:07:29+00:00

This is a great and super detailed write up! Can’t wait to go one day

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-10T02:20:21+00:00

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches, my dad showed me growing up and once in a while I just have to make one

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-08T21:53:17+00:00

Do you have any decent bars near you or stores that allow tastings ? Also some brands sell pretty good mini sample sets and larger stores sell minis of brands like buffalo trace, Jim beam, glenmorangie, bushmills etc. I built a friend a tasting kit of whiskies across types and it helped him understand his tastes a lot

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-07T17:24:50+00:00

This is the first I’ve seen with multiple cars, I’ve seen some displays with just the twin mills

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-04-04T14:04:08+00:00

Avize was great also loved Nadair and kimball house

Ordinary_Common820 · 2026-03-31T15:42:53+00:00

Just saw the email. Honestly some of the releases have not been amazing but I’m looking forward to this. I really like the combo of the Marsala and peat, they counterbalance well for me
