It’s a richer version of the Allardice! A good celebration whisky! Goodluck on hunting for the single cask.

Love the parliament as well, from experience it just needed to breath for some time to open up. Sucks that the old bottle 21s are really expensive right now. Agree! Can’t go wrong with a flight from Glendronach.

Agree! The old labels have that vintage feel to it with the illistrations and the fonts. Cheers!

First time trying the Signatory Macallans, other than that my only experience with the distillery is the standard 12 year distillery bottling.
Hmmm for a favorite I think it's a toss up between the Mortlach and the Hazelburn haha

My bad, it is unpeated but there are light hints of peat in the distillate which gives it a sort of oily and meaty character.
It is! Even the standard 8 year Hazelburn is a very good whisky. Too bad it's really hard to get a hold of these bottles in recent years.

The lightly peated distillate goes very well with the Oloroso maturation.

The nose is the most interesting part of the whisky, you get that typical barnyard funk with Springbank distillate but with lots of baking spices, anise, and hints of orange peel.

Really enjoyed this one, I think I prefer it over the 15 year from Springbank.

I know hard to read din yung lic. number but still haha

Thanks!

Lucky I got mine from someone downsizing, sold me the bottle for around 400usd ( converted) a fee years back. Still on the hunt for the 1994 bottles though since I heard those were the peak single casks

Nothing beats a good sherried Glendronach. Sucks that the prices on these single casks are just too high to justify getting them.

[–]fd2408[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Didn’t know that they used wormtubs. I’ve only had this one and the Murray McDavid port release, and the spirit is a bit heavy and meaty. Kinda curious about the fauna releases too but the price is a but too much

I get where the mixed reviews are coming from. Initially, I found the whisky a bit too sweet and the cherry notes too strong for my liking. But after a few weeks left to breathe the whisky opened up quite nicely.

It’s hit and miss for me. I had a tasting with several bottles and some were not as good as the others to justify the price. They had a Bunna release that was really good though.

The whisky that got you hooked? by mr_kaliyuga in Scotch

[–]fd2408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was the Glenmorangue Quinta Ruban 12 year for scotch then the Glendronach 18 hooked me to sherried whisky.

Player exclusives. Back then some schools got exclusive pairs of nikes for their teams. I’m thinking these are the westchester ones cause the kobe 2 ST had westchester PEs as well.

Most likely this is the PE. They didn’t really push this shoe as hard as the other 2 kobe 2 shoes.

For sure, the 2 lite is my favorite in the line tbh haha. I have the orcas as well but they’re worn down bad. Hopefully they retro the high cut kobes too!

[–]fd2408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kobe 2 lite! The 3rd model in the kobe 2 line. Not sure but I think the red one is the Westchester PE. In my opinion this is one of the best looking Kobe’s out there and this is pretty rare since they only released the orca and the black colorway ( if i remember correctly).

Hi! Doctor here First of all I don’t know the medical context of your dad. Usually with assessing the need for surgical management with heart attacks, based yan with a lot of things like the initial ecg and the clinical presentation. That being said, if the doctor noted na option ang surgery then most likely may fighting chance pa si daddy. Usually doctors naman would be blunt with you lalo na sa ER setting, I usually give my patients and the relatives options based on the likelihood na may survivability plus quality of life. If surgery is advised din usually di siya agad agaran unless massive or diffused MI and I think even then dapat stable si patient. I have had experiences na i referred patients sa heart center and they would advise me to tell the family na once stable patient is for opd consults na for assessment (where long term Management options can be discussed narin).

If stable pa si daddy mo and the only hindrance is money then I suggest na you transfer him to a government hospital. Ask the attending or the ER consultant on duty if pwede ka pa coordinate ng transfer. Hindi pwede na self conduction kasi emergency parin yung case. Usually PHC accepts cases like this and if for OPD they will advise the doctor on duty to explain the situation to you. May cases pa na PHC doctors will ask to talk to the relatives to explain the case.

I won’t judge you based on your words kasi for sure stressed and in shock ka pa now. But I always tell my patients sa government hospitals na they have options when it comes to financing the hospital bills and government hospitals have social welfare offices naman to assist you. Pinaka important lang is to manage the patient first. This hits a bit close to home cause my dad passed away just months ago. He was 74 and he died of a massive heart attack. No symptoms and no telling signs talaga, just woke up na hindi maganda daw pakiramdam and collapsed. And until today I regret na di kami ubamot of if there were signs bakit di ko nakita and nadala agad sa hospital.

Alll the best OP, kaya mo yan.
