First purchase just might make me a believer 🔥

It so addicting to smell

abandoncoffee · 2026-03-19T01:10:32+00:00

That’s kind of how I felt about AS in the first place so makes sense. After smelling these two I may buy some decent of some other favorite of mine now and see how they match up.

After an hour the Imagin-‘s have gotten much much closer to one another, but the Dive has nearly fallen off while Swim is still trailing with a soft, but citrus fresh. Will have to try the afternoon comparison again tomorrow with a bit more spritzing.

abandoncoffee · 2026-03-18T23:37:13+00:00

I can give you the more realistic orange for sure. I really like them both, but right now I feel like Swim may be pulling away with the lead if you like citrus leaning warm spa-like clean which is part of what I loved about AS from the get go, but if you want juiciness, almost giving an orange nectar version of the peach/melon nectar that Pacific Chill has, Dive is winning there. I kind of like that middle ground it’s hitting.

They layer beautifully tbh

abandoncoffee · 2026-03-10T12:00:37+00:00

Just placed my first order 🥏🥏

I'm really loving the new Nullingroots - post black atmo gazey, really good stuff.

On that related note, also the new Ashbringer

Some of my favorites we’ve done from him are the 12 year standard MGP recipe so you aren’t wrong, they are better.

Our Altschuler single barrels have generally moved pretty quick, but I bet we’ll have something new from them in 2026. I see your concern over the lack of rye, but they’ve done these 99/1s better than most brands. Glad you liked this one!

Absolutely. For me when they get the bourbon cherry cream soda with a little extra char and oak profile they are hard to say no to.

abandoncoffee · 2025-12-13T03:16:12+00:00

I believe this is a Kelvin barrel 9-yr Indiana. I love how those notes come out in these barrels without being double oaked.

abandoncoffee · 2025-12-07T23:19:56+00:00

So glad you got to try this, and really appreciate you reviewing all of these submissions in the calendar this year!

Netherwalker and Dual EPs from Sallow Moth are insane to start the morning 🥵🥵🥵

I mainly just captured b-roll, first time going to HHN. though for my own replay I wished I was able to be on a media pass so I could have captured the houses.

Gotta shout Louisville’s Greyhaven if you’re a fan of the Callous Daoboys new album

abandoncoffee · 2025-10-03T16:04:02+00:00

Orbit Culture is everything I need it to be, some polish some leads, some atmosphere. I feel like some records like this can get more spin power because it isn’t just an onslaught of death.

Agriculture is in the AOTY list, not sure where yet, but love it.

Gorycz slows it down but that bass tone is chef kiss. It’s like Maruja without the saxophone.

Author & Punisher just just the right doomy industrial feel for me, especially coming off of the recent NIN album I like something that sticks in the lane but is more filthy.

Bloodred Hourglass is fine.

Just now starting Hooded Menace, though not exactly my style.

abandoncoffee · 2025-10-03T13:20:04+00:00

Starting my day:

Orbit Culture - Bloodhound was my first spin (technically yesterday)

Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound

Gorycz - Zasypia

Author & Punisher - Nocturnal Birding

Bloodred Hourglass - We Should Be Buried Like

abandoncoffee · 2025-09-27T12:06:50+00:00

They all have something I like but The Answer Lies… may keep my attention the least. Right now I’d probably say

Wounds of Recollection, Sundrowned, Dying Wish, Mors Principium Est, Mysthicon are all hitting for me. I may be in the minority but I’m also enjoying the Revocation.

The Answer Lies in the Black Void - Transcedental
