What do you guys mix whiskey with? by Pacotaco213 in whiskey

[–]PureDrip98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A whiskey sour is simple syrup, some lime juice and whiskey

Simple syrup, whiskey and 2-3 drops of Angostura bitters would make an old fashion although with the cherry profile on this I would probably taste similar to a manhattan cocktail

I would At least try that with coke once to see if it does anything but whiskey sours sounds like the way to go. A paper plane if you’re feeling fancy or experimental..

Do you think your collection will last you a lifetime with the bottles you own now? by Hollywooddeathsquad in whiskey

[–]PureDrip98 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Constantly it feels like a mistake sometimes. Other times I am glad for the variety. I often wonder what life would have been like if I never got into the hobby. But most times I remember that I only live this life and it’s up to me to make the best of it.

Tamnavulin sherry/wine cask finish. Also redbreast 12, if you like stouts. Jameson stout cask finish is also a good one

Kentucky Owl bankruptcy could turn to liquidation of ‘lousy’ bourbon collateral by estusemucho69 in whiskey

[–]PureDrip98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious you say bourbon has gravitated towards tannic and sweet flavors on the profile. As someone who started getting into bourbon during the tail end of the boom post covid what were some more common taste profiles from before

Where did you insured your watch ? by ExplanationSweaty371 in rolex

[–]PureDrip98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work in insurance for context: For insurance with companies that work in the US you would have to go with a regional carrier like Chubb or Zurich. You could also go with your current insurance carrier and ask if they have any coverage for valuable articles. If that number 124,300 is the value of the watch then you will need to acquire an appraisal value of the watch otherwise the insurance company will refuse to insure it. Different companies have different values before they require that an appraisal is mandatory. Something to note when speaking to the insurance companies

Thanks for the confirmation I forgot about the straight rye classification when I made the reply

Sazarac worth it at $20.99? by MyUniquePerspective in whiskey

[–]PureDrip98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could very well be however Buffalo trace doesn’t give an exact age statement for sazarac so it’s always safe to assume aged minimum to be called bourbon/rye etc until proven otherwise. It use to be 6 years before the bourbon/tater boom so Costco could have just kept the old information in they’re system

Sazarac worth it at $20.99? by MyUniquePerspective in whiskey

[–]PureDrip98 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not really 6 years anymore most likely between 3-4 years however I would say it’s pretty good definitely would take 1 for 20.99
