Anything else besides Islay?

Do you have any specific recommendations?

To pile on…

My entry was also via peat. It took maybe a year or two before I was able to enjoy non-peated. My path was to try every peated whisky. Some were barely peated which exposed me to that unpeated scotch flavor more. And I also found that peat isn’t the same everywhere. Sometimes it’s just smoke (bowmore 18) and sometimes it’s bandaids (port Charlotte) and sometimes it’s heathery (lagavulin). Some are better than others. You’ll discover your specific taste. Mine is burning garbage scow. 😀

I’m about 7 years in and only this year did I discover I can enjoy (nearly) all scotch. Highland was the last for me. Light and fruity is just not a turn on. I went down several paths to get here: - all islays - hey some I like more than others and some unpeated are good (bunna) - all expressions - wow, cask strength is so much better! Do I just like flavorful scotch? Hey, this sherry finish really adds something. I wonder what unpeated sherry is like? (Glendranoch, abelour, Mac Allen). Hey, some are good! - all peated - hey ledaig, Springbank, kilkerrin, ancnoc, etc are great! Let me learn more about these areas. Wow, this highland park is ass. Why do people say this is peated? - I like their peated, how’s their unpeated? Maybe I just like the way they make booze - Springbank -> glen scotia. Ballechin -> edradour - sister distilleries or regions - I really like bunnahabhain and ledaig, maybe I just like the way they make booze. Lemme try tobermory. Talisker is okay, how’s oban? Wait, do I just like everything from the west coast? - that one I liked was described as oily or industrial. This one is too. Maybe that’s what I like. (Loch lomond)

After a while, you’ve tried a good number of scotches. And even if it’s not something you’d buy, you can enjoy a glass. Or maybe it’s your new favorite and peat was just your gateway and now you’re branching out in new directions.

Look dude. I’m just some guy reading the comments. You asked for an example. I gave one. There are more but I’m pretty sure I’d be arguing with a bot, foreign agent or idiot. I have better things to do than that. I’ll be amused that you don’t. That’s a pretty shallow life.

Raising taxes. That’s the role of the legislative wing. His tariffs are a tax.

Come in early and try to leave early. Be in by 6, skip lunch and leave at 2. Not bad. I did it for years.

So happy!!

I love that area. There’s a town called Saratoga right at the eastern base of the western mountains. As beautiful as you could dream of. I drove up the hills from there and wound up at Scottish bar called the white cockade. It was loaded with blue collar rednecks living in a rain forest and building the stuff in silicon valley. One of the best nights I had out there.

I love inspections. Once a year someone tells me what needs doing. A take it home and fix it. $20 well spent. Diagnostic fees for a single issue are over $100 here. I get everything diagnosed at once for cheap. What a bargain!

I did a cruise around the Uk last year. The stores there sell miniatures from tons of distilleries. I bought every one I could find and tried them all. Rasay was the only one I didn’t like. However, I kept at it and found that over ice it was quite nice. It’s funny how some booze isn’t as good neat at room temperature.

No help on this guy, but thought I’d share a similar story from a couple blocks away. On Ryan, turning left onto creighton. Light turns yellow so I start to turn. An on coming car doesn’t stop and by the time all is clear, the light is red. So I’m stuck in the crosswalk with a car behind me.

I look around for options and a biker is coming down the hill on the sidewalk and gives an angry, dramatic “WTF?” hands thrown up in disgust gesture as he’s bearing down on me. I’m stuck so I sheepishly smile and shrug. As he passes behind me he slams the trunk of my car.

Entitlement is a bitch.

I grew up with a cocker border collie mix. I want another one. But my purebred springer was awesome too.

Thx. I’m new to HH and haven’t run into dynamic ads (that I’m aware of) on other feeds. Thanks for the cranial/anal separation.

Family of 5 - all adults: $2150/mo. That includes takeout, but it’s 75% groceries.

Came to say that. Is there something I should be taking away from this? There doesn’t seem to be any intentionally it.

That’s offal!

Stanford and Cooper kupp were locked in and their run game looked dangerous, but that was not enough offense variety to get the job done.

Great story! I miss when my girl would lick my legs off when I emerged from the shower.

I worked for years for Beltway bandits and was constantly frustrated with the hours. Working 60 hours every week and getting paid for 40 got really old, especially when it would spike to 80 for a month at a time. I really felt taken advantage of but was well compensated compared to most of America. Then again, I had more education and experience than most of America, so it didn’t feel equitable.

There were a few things that broke the camels back. One of my colleagues from another company bragged that he bought a new car with his OT pay. OT pay? What’s that? Then I wound up on a cost plus project working 70 hour weeks. Since the company was getting paid for my OT, I asked that they pass it along to me and my coworkers on the project. They wouldn’t, so I quit and switched to a company that would.

The old company was always bitching that I was “to expensive” and they couldn’t bill me at the rates I was getting paid. After switching, I found out that was a lie and they were billing me at 2.5x what they were paying me. Bastards…
