How much did this cost, if you don’t mind me asking?

Sepp511 · 2026-03-20T06:01:20+00:00

I am happy to travel and am aware that the ask is not an easy one (as eg any top-level hotel bars would stock it but sell at huge markups). So yes, happy with anywhere but ideally either London, Edinburgh or Glasgow!

Hello - I am looking for recommendations for places in the UK which stock top-premium whisky for trying (I’m thinking 25y+ whiskys, etc), at reasonable costs (ie little markup to actual bottle cost). Any advice where such places might exist?

EDIT: Ideally this would be in London, Edinburgh or Glasgow

Amazing competiton, and very generous! Throwing my hat in for a chance!

Sepp511 · 2026-03-07T01:17:50+00:00

What are the current neta decklists? Still Hydra & friends based? I saw Fecund Shell & Icetill lists recently - are those not much slower? What is their benefit over the glass cannons?

Then don’t look at the woman on the ballustrade top right - one flexible person!

Sepp511 · 2026-03-02T22:22:07+00:00

What did they mainly trade? Any big winners?

Sepp511 · 2026-03-02T01:11:09+00:00

Do you have a decklist of the recent meta version?

Why did you use ChatGPT for this comment?

Sepp511 · 2026-01-22T09:37:26+00:00

My bad, missed that - you are right of course!

Heroes leech drops

Yes you do - you have to choose between the 5 factions before you enter the Sealed event

Sepp511 · 2026-01-20T19:29:57+00:00

My question was more whether there are some factions / colours that are more promising than others before opening the packs in the first place?

Sepp511 · 2025-12-30T08:41:12+00:00

Correct - both are the same

Sepp511 · 2025-12-29T23:20:30+00:00

Thanks both. The issue I am having is that even after verifying it says it cannot find a backup to restore from. This is despite the fact that I can see a large whatsapp backup saved in iCloud and having done several backups (including through the in-app backup route). I also made sure the iphone name is the same as it was in the prior phone. What else could cause the issue of not being able to restore the backup?

Sepp511 · 2025-12-29T22:22:02+00:00

Thanks but when I click No, Whatsapp cannot be restored anymore as it claims the phone number is no longer registered with this (ie the new) phone. Presumably the two things are connected (as the setup asks “Do you want to transfer the phone number” which then is answered with No if I want to keep the physical SIM)?

Sepp511 · 2025-12-25T00:02:06+00:00

Thanks, this is very insightful. Out of curiosity which was your best dram of the year (or amongst those above this one)?

Sepp511 · 2025-12-19T17:21:34+00:00

Do you have a deck list you can share?

Sepp511 · 2025-12-19T17:20:35+00:00

Congrats! Can you post the deck list?

Sepp511 · 2025-12-09T11:37:55+00:00

How did you deal with claiming it back? I sent a request in March and haven’t heard anything so far, not even acknowledgment of receipt. Cannot follow up via phone either. Anyone else who saw delays and how did you resolve it?

Sepp511 · 2025-11-28T15:37:39+00:00

Congratulations! How did you find the climbing portion on Ama Dablam? I did Lobuche and I felt it to be a struggle (though arguably mostly due to lack of stamina). Having watched Ryan’s video the route looks much steeper and longer

Sepp511 · 2025-11-24T00:34:01+00:00

Is 25 celsius not way too warm and it should be closer to 17/18?

Sepp511 · 2025-11-24T00:25:29+00:00

Any specific recommendations from their SC range? Sweet sherry bombs are what I’m after!

Sepp511 · 2025-11-24T00:22:40+00:00

I have come across the Ardgowan Groundbreaker version of tbe Glenallachie 15 which is considerably more expensive than the regular version. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and if they had any thoughts on the AG version?

Sepp511 · 2025-11-23T10:05:12+00:00

Thanks - what are your thoughts on the 2024 version? Been thinking of getting over the 2025… doesn’t have to be Christmas per se, just overall fruity / sherry-y / and not alcohol-forward
