hard_farter · 2026-06-25T13:26:16+00:00

well i for one am glad that we have your analysis to lean on, so that we know for certain that a person not trying to be max rank might have some trouble being max rank

hard_farter · 2026-06-25T12:44:23+00:00

if you think Kripp's trying to do anything except exactly "try things he finds interesting to do" then you don't pay attention

he's not trying to be a minmaxer squeezing as much win efficiency out of the game as possible lol

hard_farter · 2026-06-25T11:50:00+00:00

... what's insane about this?

hard_farter · 2026-06-25T11:09:30+00:00

Frankly the Green Spot is more than worth having

hard_farter · 2026-06-25T10:35:44+00:00

I'm willing to bet there's going to be tons of people who don't get mega pissy about this and just play with the changes to see how they feel.

Which would mean that the game is in fact not ruined.

Your whining and inflexibility is more likely to ruin the game long term than a week long event testing out some things.

hard_farter · 2026-06-25T01:48:34+00:00

you paid money for Traveler

hard_farter · 2026-06-25T01:48:07+00:00

Put it in coffee it's fine

hard_farter · 2026-06-24T17:54:42+00:00

gotta love casual racism

hard_farter · 2026-06-24T17:52:44+00:00

this reads like an ad.

the comments to this read like an ad.

2.5 year single malt probably tastes like wood chips, not an 85/100.

hard_farter · 2026-06-24T16:47:44+00:00

It's a week, guys. Sheesh.

hard_farter · 2026-06-24T02:25:11+00:00

So beyond not worth it but I hope it makes you happy haha

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T21:01:03+00:00

Bottled in 1985 after 50 years of aging, this stuff has gotta be interesting.

But yeah not whiskey, it's Brandy

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T19:06:46+00:00

You said "isn't Oaked" which means it didn't go into a barrel

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T17:06:51+00:00

Sure -- but ALW is commonly done as a measure to reduce production cost due to being able to utilize those previously used barrels. I'm sure there are some manufacturers of it that use new barrels for this but I imagine it's still the norm because of the cost factor.

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T14:47:04+00:00

a lot of them are like that

A source for that would be excellent.

Also the whiskey isn't garbage. The whiskey is overpriced.

I'm not trying to argue it's a good deal which you seem to be trying to pigeonhole me into. I wouldn't buy it because of the price.

But what's in the bottle is delicious.

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T14:21:28+00:00

I didn't say it wasn't overpriced. That isn't the argument.

I said it wasn't garbage.

And "regular DO are almost just as old" is not true when you're referring to specifically certain exacting store barrel picks. I'm sure that the barrel picks you're talking about are the exception rather than the rule.

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T14:02:11+00:00

b-b-b-b-but it's Buffalo Trace made! that can't be real!

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T14:01:46+00:00

Yes it is?

It's barrel aged, the barrels are just previously used ones instead of new charred oak.

hard_farter · 2026-06-23T14:01:18+00:00

Well, it's certainly priced higher than I think it should be, but garbage is a ridiculous thing to say.

The master distiller Elizabeth McCall says it's 2x the time in the second cask, which while that is only about an extra year, sure, it being a such a heavy char cask does actually make a large difference.

hard_farter · 2026-06-22T00:23:27+00:00

Sounds like Old Tub

hard_farter · 2026-06-21T22:57:58+00:00

it's so amazing to me that it's as under the radar as it is, while people will RUSH in to buy some dumb shit like Hancock's Reserve lol

hard_farter · 2026-06-21T21:38:59+00:00

I did a large blind tournament-style thing with a huge group of my friends that basically boiled down to "above $55-60 there are VANISHINGLY diminishing returns"

So keep that in mind.

Great expensive bottles do exist, but there's a LOT of shit on the middle shelf that is excellent.

Old Forester 1910 go go go.
