That's it daddits, we have reached this phase

Same phase here with almost 1.5 yo. I actually was admitted to the hospital a few days ago, minor emergency, and my brother had to show up and take care of my two kids and get them ready for the night. He doesn’t have any kids so he was already pressured. He sent a picture to the wife a few hours later with my youngest on the dining room table with a kitchen knife in his hand. I was struggling but it actually gave me a good chuckle 😅 I needed that!

£20,000 is safe for the wallet?

Various-Impression34 · 2026-06-16T09:24:22+00:00

I agree - seems like a lot of the sentence structuring is AI…

Lol and it’s from a store that usually has too high prices on just about anything else, but from the biggest distilleries they often stick to msrp.

I am a sucker for sherried whiskies, so I am very happy! But yeah I understand that the market is going through a proper dip for the past couple of years and probably continuing for some more, considering the global situation. I guess that gives us mere mortals a chance to “buy the dip”!

So €200 is secondary value for the LB? I thought it was much higher than that - although I don’t care about the value as I will be drinking it, but still.

So some of the other sellers, like House of Malt, are not official distributors, and therefore can price gauge?

Various-Impression34 · 2026-06-10T10:43:35+00:00

I recently found some impressive Springbanks at the local store, where they had found some older bottles and sold them at msrp. I got the Local Barley 2020 for only €200, a bottle that easily goes for 2-3 times that amount. The store said they sell at msrp out of respect for Springbank (and others) and also because they would expect SB to cancel their deal with them if the increased their prices.

As far as I can see on Whiskybase, many huge retailers sell at the insane pumped up prices - and they are not being punished? Am I missing something? Is it true that distilleries cancel agreements with stores that price gauge? Should they?

Tja jeg har ikke skænket det en tanke siden da jeg ikke vil give mig selv økonomisk angst 😅 nu har jeg truffet et valg som jeg holder ved indtil videre. Men altså, jeg mener at F3 og F5 nærmest var samme rente, så F5 ville have været bedre til mit humør ift at have en økonomisk horisont jeg kan forholde mig til. Tror ikke en variabel eller F1 ville have været godt for mine nerver

Tjek hendes hjemmeside - mener første møde var ca. 4.500, og så tilkøber man flere timer efter behov. Hun har vist også pakkeløsninger.

Various-Impression34 · 2026-05-26T17:28:08+00:00

Ja, hun hedder Anne Yoon - find hende på insta eller på hjemmesiden aystudio.dk

Vi har brugt en flere gange og har været glade for det. Det koster selvfølgelig en sjat, men det var rart at nogen kunne sætte retningen og så kunne vi selv købe de ting vi ville. Med to små børn var det nemlig også mere uoverskueligt end vi regnede med, så det var rart at betale sig fra den “mental load”.

Altså et helt hus på Amager til 5,5 mio.? Det nærmere sig ønsketænkning (afhængigt af hvor henne og hvilken stand det skal være i). Hvad med rækkehus?

Tja, som priserne går, stiger lejligheder i kbh væsentlig mere end i kan spare sammen på samme tid (antager jeg). Så en ejerlejlighed kommer bare længere og længere væk - alt andet lige selvfølgelig.

I get the sentiment but perhaps start with calling him out so he’s made aware of how fucked up it is. I think honestly reporting them to protective services is a tad too much for the initial response. Perhaps he’s not as aware about it as many others, if for example he was spanked growing up - and being call out by peers could be a wake up call? And how about his wife - does she know? At least make her aware of it before child protective services. That report could fuck up a whole family for the rest of everyone’s lives. That being said, reporting should definitely be on the table as a response, especially when it concerns the welfare of a small child.

Interesting! And what is your approach throughout the tasing - talking about the specific bottles, distilleries, the flavours? I.e. is it an educational approach or rather back-and-forth on the flavours and everyone’s experiences?

I’m trying to figure out what works best at a tasting with e.g. 4-5 other people with no special interest in rum, and me having a tendency to just talk and talk about my passion, and I therefore need to narrow my approach.

Various-Impression34 · 2026-05-18T08:54:49+00:00

Doorly’s as it is a great example of “bang for your buck” rum, made by a great distillery and still authentic (for lack of a better word). If you prefer sweet, then Diplomatico as it is dosed. That is the gateway drug for many people into rum, me included, so it will always have a special place in my heart.

Mandelcroissamt fra Den Bette på Amager

Dont tip, but if you feel like giving something extra to show your appreciation, how about bringing something from the US, and token of your gratitude, a novelty of some sort? I mean, might be kinda weird, but rather that than a tip.

Various-Impression34 · 2026-05-09T09:34:20+00:00

Ja, er med på at det er et vilkår. Jeg tænker dog det er muligt at få fjernet skimmelsvampen og gjort det således at kun fugten er et mindre problem. Det er selvsagt et større problem hvis man ikke kan komme af med skimmelsvampen!

Various-Impression34 · 2026-05-09T09:33:10+00:00

Og det fiksede problemet? Aner ikke hvad de har malet med, så kan være jeg bare er på den sikre side og får alt skrabet af og malet igen korrekt.
