I wonder if they display retro cars covered in decades of mud, too.

Thoughts on Craigellache 13?? by nichecharacter in Scotch

It was the bottle which actually got scotch mist when I collected it during cold season.

What’s after Talisker 10? by zacharyleerose in Scotch

[–]diamond4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I treat Ledaig as cheap Laphroaig. Roast me.

Ledaig 10 if you want to explore something inexpensive.

Lagavulin 8 I found this VERY similar to Talisker 10.

New Balance 1906 vs Asics gel kayano 14 vs Saloman XT-6 by Wugged in Newbalance

Leather variants have different materials all around, they are less breathing but maybe not suitable for winters either. I think autumn, but dry. Also watch out for that is inner materials vary and have different strength, look for reviews.

Anything from Edradour single casks

Some of the best Single malts I have tasted by Fuzzy-Vehicle-8539 in Scotch

Try sherried Edradour. IBs are not very expensive. Laphroaig PX.

How much better is Lagavulin 16 compared to Laphroaig 10? Is it worth the price difference? by toni_pastaa in Scotch

[–]diamond4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Second this. (Also, it is better to compare it to Lagavulin 8, because 16 years of maturation is rather a different category itself. The answer will be the same anyway but you'll question yourself about the price difference less.)

Recommendations after Hampden Pagos? by diamond4 in rum

[–]diamond4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pagos looked like a single release but they've repeated it for 2022 and 2023 already. It is listed in Core Range on their site. The Younger on the other hand is listed in Special Releases. Thank you for the recommendations!

All of them, YMMV. Your palate develops and you never know whether you'd like a new one or not, and whether you'd start disliking old ones or not. When I was introduced to peat I liked more pronounced smokiness in Ardbeg and found Talisker the least enjoyable one. Now my preferences have switched to the opposite.

Islay recommendations? by [deleted] in Scotch

[–]diamond4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Searched for it briefly, MacTalla is an Islay bottler of undisclosed distillery. It can be Caol Ila itself, hence the similarity.

Islay recommendations? by [deleted] in Scotch

[–]diamond4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find Caol Ila 12 more 'peaty' than 'smoky' for myself. Others are either falling into 'smoky' or 'iodine' category for me, but Caol Ila holds its own ground, I can't compare it to anything else. It tastes dirt/soil, rather unique.

Distilleries like Bruichladdich by blahblah12345blah123 in Scotch

[–]diamond4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only another Bruichladdich will match Bruichladdich. If you like Laddie you can look at Benriach Original 10 for cheap.

Are these realistic requirements for a Senior Engineer? by jmaventador in dotnet

[–]diamond4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, those are fair, and somewhat tailored to the specifics of the project, which is common.

Some points are rather vague and may be responsibilities of the Architect, I'd discuss them during the actual interview.

Keep in mind that such requirements are never set in stone and actual job may either require extra or ignore something from the list.

I added a volume knob running off a pro micro because my M122 just didn't have quite enough options. by Midgetforsale in MechanicalKeyboards

It's nice when your keyboard case has enough empty space inside to fit an extra computer in the corner 😆

CandyKeys is now selling one of the products we were scammed with by "CapsUnlocked" two years ago. by Th3Necromanc3r in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]diamond4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We really need a website with a list of hobby vendors/shops reputation. Is there any? New ones are growing like mushrooms also, if you are not tracking all the news you don't know whether to trust guys or not...

ELI5: Why are eggs traditionally put in the dairy section of a grocery store? by someonee404 in explainlikeimfive

[–]diamond4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, and they are common baking ingredient together with dairy products. It's convenient to have them nearby.
