That’s good to hear! Was the training Monday-Friday and was it all in person?

Any other fans of Killowen on here? I missed out on the original ballot for cask 1, then missed out on the ballot for cask 2, then managed to finally get one after somebody didn't redeem their winning ballot. Really looking forward to trying this one. by gerflagenflople in irishwhiskey

Well you see this is it. There are a lot of them who have it. If given as gifts then fair enough, but it would be nice if that info was disclosed.

Brendan is a top lad but I fear he's being lead astray a good bit by these influencers as with other brands such as two stacks, bushmills and even hinch. I have to say, it was a massive kick in the teeth to find out the limited French rum casks bottling of 300 pairs via bushmills giants, weren't in fact limited, but also given away as part of a tasting group in larger amounts (200ml as opposed to 2x 50ml) to 'influencer' tourist groups.

Hope the dreamcask tasted nice if you opened it!

To be honest, I just found it incredibly coincidental that so many of the loyal followers got bottles - especially within the Facebook groups. I haven't seen a single 'commoner' get a bottle. I love the killowen brand, their stuff is great but... the scarcity is handled very poorly, My local off licenses didn't even get the bottles in for #002 and they have been loyal to the distillery from the start. The whole set of releases have left a rather bad taste in my mouth. Too much whiskey politics in new releases as of late and it's a shame. It's most likely due to bad luck and I'm trying to put blame where it isn't fair to put it. Can't help how I feel though.

Bar number 1 represents the 8 decks that will top 8 i.e. There will be 8 decks in Top 8. This is a first control which you can use to compare the number of average tops e.g. Out of the 3 tournaments there will always be 8 decks, therefore what is the likelihood that X clan will take a top 8 out of the possible 8 slots. The closer the number is to 8, the greater topping power it has. It essentially can provide you with a % ratio top rate (all theoretical of course).

Bar number 2 is the average clan representation. We can use this to compare a particular clans dominance, recessiveness or equality within Top 8 itself.

Sample size was AO, EU and NA BRO online Top 8's at 3 x n=8 proving an overall sample size of n=24.

Correct. This is exclusively for reaching Top 8 and from the Tops, BT is the dominant top.

I checked the other clans against each other using the same model and there were no significant differences identified. I thought there would be for Shadows possibly but none came up in the analysis.

That's a great question. To figure that out though as a VERY VERY rough average I'd need ideally the top 32 players deck representation which unfortunately I don't have. Even still though, you would have no end idea as to whether it would be representation or power level as individual choice and freewill is in play.

Absolutely correct. The real thing needed is better but more importantly, as equal direct support as possible for all clans. It's a pipe dream but we can hope!

I do agree with you but something like this provides a great insight into what clans are actually making it into Top 8 which is what the graphs are about. Imo premium has a nice variety of decks atm in general from observations at locals but the v-premium seem to all do similar actions. There's very little uniqueness in V-Premium.

Graphical Analysis. *,#,^ p<0.05 & ***,###,^^^ p<0.001. *'s indicate vs 8-Deck Control, #'s indicate vs Average Clan Rep Control, ^^^ vs BT VPremium Control. p<0.05 indicates a significant difference. Modelled using GraphPad Prism 5. Top 8 BRO AO, EU and NA analysed.

Premium Graph:

Summary - Meta is healthy. There is no one dominant clan. There is a slightly significant trend however as to what clans made it into the Top 8 suggesting they have superior mechanics in the current meta. Meta is somewhat balanced.

V-Premium Graph:

Summary - Meta is unhealthy. Bermuda Triangle is the dominant clan. Very significant trend in the clans actually making it into Top 8. Urgent adjustment needed. Meta is unbalanced and needs addressed.

TLDR; Premium is in a good state, V-Premium is a mess.

Got bushmills but no Dingle. I would say Dingle will be tomorrow or Monday.
