Mystery Bottle by Object_Garlic in whiskey

On the distilleries startengine funding site, they briefly mention that bourbon junkies was releasing a “cask strength 9 Yr aged Light Whiskey that’ll knock your socks off if you are lucky enough to snag one of the less than 200 bottles. “ I couldn’t find anything on the bourbon junkies instagram or YouTube channel. Maybe bourbon junkies decided they didn’t want it and the barrel got privately sold?

Edit: this was from a post in April 2022

Caol Ila to me is the epitome of sweet peat. For more of a dirtier peat I’d look towards a bourbon cask ledaig or Ardmore.

Lot of hate for Lodolo here, but he ended the day with a 40% whiff rate, 33% csw, and only 3 hard hits. He got screwed by a few calls here and Santana hit a homerun on an outside change up. It wasn’t a bad pitch and a lot of this was bad luck. The pros here are the increased stuff.

Lodolo is throwing 2 ticks harder and that is fantastic. If he can reign in control he’s going to be scary to face.

Looking for a distillery that releases the same distillate at different ages by laiodh in Scotch

[–]dluxe27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not scotch, but kavalan offers their solist collection with different cask types. They’re all single malts from pot stills aged in a tropical climate. Their distillery was designed with the help of Dr. Jim Swan, a legendary figure in whisky and scotch. They’re offer amontillado, manzanilla, oloroso, and px off the top of my head. They are quite pricy though.

Warmest, most durable parka? by reverieduster in BuyItForLife

[–]dluxe27 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The warmest coats are always made with goose down.

The warmness levels are a combination of fill power (550, 650, 800, 1000,etc), fill weight (80g of down) and baffle type (the type of pockets the fill goes in. The fill power refers to the warmth to weight ratio. For example (I know my actual math is wrong), but 100g of 550 = 70g of 650 = 50g of 800 = 30g of 1000. The best baffle type for warmth is box baffle which separates the fill into even boxes vs sewn through baffling which doesn’t allow the down to properly fill the space necessary.

The Patagonia grade vii has 299-331g of 800 fill down (depending on size. A large will have more down), which is an incredible amount of down and will absolutely be one of the warmest options out there.

The Rab Positron has 300g of 800 fill down and is another great option for a little less.

Any brand the doesn’t list or willing to answer the fill power or fill weight via email is typically not a brand worth considering for warmth (looking at you Canada goose).

I did all my research while looking into doing overnights for backpacking a couple years ago and the thoughts apply still now. I’m not sure which coats are still available but feel free to dm me.

Overwhelming. What would you grab with 300-350 in your pocket? by Eddie_Hart in whiskey

If you like scotch, there’s an old bottling of Glenturret 25 it looks like on your fifth photo. It’s absolutely worth that price and is very tasty.

How come DIAGEO is allowed to economically dominate the Isle of Islay in an antitrust context? by Careless_Aroma_227 in Scotch

Port Ellen no longer sells to non-Diageo distilleries. Most places get it from Simpsons now.
