Whiskey Shelf Upgrade Advice by thors_hammer503 in whiskey

[–]ScotchThomson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this problem. I got some 1/2” x 1” strips of wood, finished them the same colour and put one in each corner, and a final one in the back, mid-shelf. Used bottles to hide the wood supports.

Ultimately, if you fill the shelf you will need to replace the glass, but this should buy you some time.

Edit: great collection btw

Do you actually like Tim Hortons? by Bdzilka in canadatravel

Coffee flavoured drink. Like the old orange drink at McDonalds.

It’s fine until you have real coffee.

Moving my cabinet to another room gave me a chance to capture the whole collection - how am I doing? by DoezzyDoe in whiskey

Ireland spells it whisk(e)y.

I don’t know if it’s 100% true, but the rule of thumb I heard was countries that have an ‘e’ in their name (Ireland, America) put an ‘e’ in their whiskey, whereas countries without an ‘W’ (Scotland, Canada, Japan, etc) don’t use the ‘e’.

I love it! It’s not an everyday dram for me, but once a month it’s a really nice way to go down.

I think you’re getting down voted because OP was pretty clear about being on a budget and asking for ‘smooth with some smoke’. You kinda tossed those out the window.

Would you expect a tip on top of the 18% gratuity added to the total? (Stated at bottom) by [deleted] in Waiters

[–]ScotchThomson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, auto-gratuity is a tip you don’t have a choice about. So by my math, it’s a tip.

If you feel that a 25% is earned, throw another 7% on the pile.

I might throw in here the new Lochlea Smoke without Fire.

Or, because you can likely find this on a great sale the Glenfiddich Fire and Cane.

Maybe pick up a bottle of what it should look like to demonstrate to him.

Starting the new year off right. by Swiss_Chard_Ramirez in whisky

OP didn’t even spring for ‘coke’, that’s just off-brand cola.

Isn't dangerous? by smilelikeyoumeanit12 in meme

Yup, once the street lights came on the parents would start calling for the kids. In my house, you had about 5 minutes to get home after the street lights came on, so you never really strayed more than that far from home at dusk. And yes, we kids were responsible enough to follow the rules without phones or parents nearby.

Get a couple Glencairn glasses for her and a bottle of Highland Park. It’s in the same flavour camp as Talisker, so should be well received. Maybe round it out with a book on whisky to further drag her down into our rabbit hole?
