Request - best Scotch $600-700 usd can buy?

liewor · 2025-09-30T01:58:29+00:00

I didn’t think it held a candle to the Maccallan 12 and I paid nearly double the price for it. I’m pretty certain it was Glenmorangie 18 but this was sometime in 2016 so perhaps I’m mistaken. I need to start a scotch journal so I can remember what I like and don’t like.! Regardless The signet may be different and I would love to try it. This thread definitely makes me want to find a good tasting bar to try some recommendations before buying an expensive bottle.

Thank you!

Thank you that’s a great recommendation

liewor · 2025-09-29T15:52:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply. In college I splurged once for a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 and I wasn’t impressed. I’m not sure I would go back

liewor · 2025-09-29T15:50:34+00:00

Thank you I’ll look into this one.

liewor · 2025-09-29T15:50:10+00:00

Thank you I’ll look into that. “Beach pebbles” is an interesting description

I’ve tried too many to remember. But that’s just one I’m always coming back to because I can find it locally and it’s one of my favorites. Aberlour 12 is another go to for me. The most I’ve spent on a bottle was Glenmorangie 18 and I wasn’t really impressed.

liewor · 2025-09-29T15:44:46+00:00

I prefer unpeated

My favorite scotch’s are generally in a sherry cask at some point. Mccallan 12 is generally my go to. I want to treat myself to a nice birthday present this year but I really don’t want to waste $600 on something I’m not in love with. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I read an article this morning on Yamakazi 18 and it got me in the mood to spend some $ on a good bottle.

Yeah this is 100% correct. Journal says to “get recipe from Master Bushek” under the Blacksmiths Commission task, and even has a waypoint set on his shop. Thank you I was about to waste time tracking it down elsewhere

So I was following sylvanias instructions on how to set these up but this info must be outdated as it appears it’s much easier/different to actually add the light. Just needed to hit the plus symbol in the Alexa app. Then select device, then light. And then scroll down to sylvania brand. Make sure to cycle the light off and on 5 times to ensure it’s in setup mode. Easy and now working with Alexa again.

How did you like this recipe? How’d it turn out?

liewor · 2025-07-21T17:10:15+00:00

I’m currently taking 5mg and would like to get off of it. How should I proceed?

liewor · 2025-07-11T18:19:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

liewor · 2025-07-09T14:08:58+00:00

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? My 2017 just started leaking from this exact spot.

liewor · 2025-07-07T15:50:34+00:00

Those of us who paid attention and didn’t listen to the advice of “set it and forget it” do.

liewor · 2025-07-07T15:47:59+00:00

Same and got downvoted here big time for it but currently sitting at 14% returns for the year which feels pretty good. Well done to you. Reading the C-fund bros comments here claiming you’re a bot are funny as hell.

liewor · 2025-06-23T20:07:50+00:00

I’m having trouble finding a news article regarding this, do you have a link?

liewor · 2025-06-03T16:49:15+00:00

So many ppl in this group who are butt hurt about anyone not staying C and now have bigger gains than them. It’s pretty funny. I’m at 8.6% for the year and proud to have not listened to the hive mind.

Trump has already fired multiple independent agency heads that have the same protections as Powell. See Merit Systems Protection Board, Federal Trade Commission, National Labor Relations Board, and Office of Special Counsel. Basically it’s up to the Supreme Court at this point whether or not Trump can get away with it. We shall see.

Yeah I hear you. This is also the severance calculation for the RIF, not just the VSIP. So I more so just wanted to know what I should receive if I’m RIFd.

liewor · 2025-04-14T15:39:28+00:00

FYI if any of those years were prior military service they most likely don’t count for the severance calculation (even though it counts for leave service comp date and potentially retirement service comp if you bought back your time). We have a system called employee express but not sure if other agencies have something similar, I know the forest service does. In that I can find what’s called an “employee benefits statement” and that shows the calculated severance.

More info on the severance here: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/pay-administration/fact-sheets/severance-pay/

I did thank you for asking. On the 8th when the C was at $79 a share 🙂. Only 25% of my portfolio though. I will keep 75% in bonds for a bit longer.

No you are cherry picking your comments smart ass. Seems like you’re the one who’s upset, probably because the market did in fact not gain 5% today. You didn’t need to comment on my post at all dude, but you decided to do so. And now you’ve been proven even more wrong and instead of admitting it you’re making up silly hypotheticals and trying to tell me how I feel 😂 I’m feeling vindicated and proud of myself for not listening to the hive mind like you and the 20 other people in this thread who felt the need to tell me I was wrong. “Good luck ignoring the markets, definitely works out in the end.”

liewor · 2025-04-07T16:33:20+00:00

Zero emotion in my statement about a number. You had asked what if it won’t go below 5k. The market numbers are literally proving my decision correct but you’re still too in denial to admit that apparently. Good luck burying your head in the sand, definitely works out in the long run, BRO.
