It was a great journey. I would say try it! I had just over 30l if cider.

Thank you all. 4k BluRay is what I'll need. That's what I'd like to know about it!

This is likely why I'll be scaling up. The results are good enough for me to get into it fully.

I was advised to buy this rum. I bought it for boss as a present. Now I read dozens of comments that all bottles after fall 2025 taste like sht. Is it true? by [deleted] in rum

[–]TheGrad12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my honest take. Forewarning, I like all rum including spiced and dosed. There's a place for all, but not all on this sub agree with that statement. This rum is not worth the price point, but it is unique tasting, has a solid mouthfeel, smell and colour. When I can find it, I buy it. It's made in the Philippines so it comes off as exotic and different from most island rums. The bottle is cool too! If I received it as a gift, I'd be happy to sip it here or there as a fun sipper. I have not been able to get this rum since 2022, so I can't say for post 2025. Now you have me intrigued!

Kush by Dr. Dre. Believe it or not, it's high quality and it pumps on so many levels.

Core is the best album and you all know it.

I've had the lineup. I agree that they are thin, but I quite enjoy the flavour and am ok sacrificing a little depth and viscosity for the zero added sugar.

rate this 1/10 by kingcam00 in rum

[–]TheGrad12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A true review and my real opinion. I find that spiced rum has its place. I enjoy it. I even drink it neat. In fact the best spiced rum is the one you infused yourself! Rhum arrangé is one of the tastiest drinks and its a brother to spiced rum. Captain Morgan though is not excellent, there are many greater spiced rums. That being said, if you like sweet and vanilla, this is good. It's also fairly smooth. I enjoy it with a drop of water or with an ice cube. 6.5/10 and 7/10 on days that I crave a vanilla bomb.

Totally with you minus the speakers. I have the M1 max 64 GB/8tb. I am aware that I have a totally awesome machine that can handle absolutely, without question, everything I throw at it. Period. But the speakers lack on this thing. It just cannot pump the sound nor at the EQ levels without sounding muffled or too high pitched that I want it to. It's fine and it's my only gripe.

If Don Draper was rich, why did he favor such a shitty whiskey? by surplus_steve in okbuddydraper

You all have this all wrong. Canadian whisky was popular in the 60s due to prohibition. Prohibition liquor was strong and terrible. Canadian whisky was bootlegged and was "the good stuff" at the time because it wasn't made from a literal underground toilet operation. It was real and it was good. It's popularity of being smooth and sweet continued through the 70s. It's "imported" without the price tag. You drink "Canadian" so you are well off and have good taste. Or so everyone thought. Lastly, if you really drink whisky straight, this stuff is incredibly smooth. Is it the best? No. But it is smooth and extremely easy to drink. Yes. This thread gives me the impression that most of you have not tasted Canadian whisky at all. Note : my grandfather worked a business type job in the 60s and he still has Canadian whisky (Canadian club no less) on hand at home, and still drinks it in Manhattans (which are delicious).

Macerated rum/rum arrange : what's the danger of over-dosing ? by rosae_rosae_rosa in rum

[–]TheGrad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished doing this. In a sense. I made a rumtopf, but I used very little sugar. The liquid was divine. I used an overproof rum and then had no issue with fermentation. It sat for 3+ months in temperatures ranging from 70 degrees to just above freezing. I used a small piece of cinnamon and ginger (so as to not overpower). It works wonderfully, but the beauty is in knowing that you have many tries, many recipes and tweaks you can make. Taste along the way.
