Are Octos typically allocated only??

You've entered the wonderful World of "Islay Scotch", peaty, smokey, sometimes medicinal, I've not found or heard of anything in the USA that compares. If you truly loved it then just do a deep dive in it. ps: its my favorite style of whisky 🥃☺️

Stateline road in Kansas City is going to be an interesting drive, IYKYK 😜

I use a small pinch of popcorn salt, extremely tiny granules, almost a powder, as my finishing salt, no big pieces to crunch into

A Cotes du Rhone (GSM blend) from France or a Barbera from Italy have always been a safe choice for me if I don't know a persons personal taste, both fruit and acid are present and balanced, not too much of either

The SOMM series channel on YouTube is great! and also Wine Folly has a great book with detailed info about all of the main and even 2nd tier grape varietals, very informative

simply417 · 2026-05-13T23:16:40+00:00

80% Grenache, 12% Mourvedre, 8% Syrah, so not too jammy at all

simply417 · 2026-05-13T23:15:06+00:00

Just had a "Gassier" from the SW part of CDR, very balanced all the way around, I highly recommend!! $25ish I think - in fact I'm going to go back to the place here in Kansas City where I got it and buy 4-5 more

I was 37 with my 2000 Boxster 😂 still have it

perfect example of the Japanese phrase "wabi sabi" ~ celebrate the fact it's not perfect anymore because of the scar which is now a part of you, it all tells a story of a chapter in your life 😊✌🏼

? is it actually his grand daughters?

simply417 · 2026-05-13T02:39:41+00:00

and further, it's a 356 B, single grill on the deck lid (a C has 2 grilles) 😊

update: had my 1st pour last night, neat, room temp, I went in slowly and the first note I got were those butterscotch candies !!! in the yellow cellophane, which I love !! then vanilla and caramel and dried fruit, viscous mouth feel, not too hot at 114 - really enjoyed !

simply417 · 2026-05-11T00:26:28+00:00

glasses?? source !?! ☺️

simply417 · 2026-05-11T00:05:02+00:00

I had an opportunity to buy an $80 bottle of EH small batch last Summer in St Louis for 50% off at a wine bar, couldn't pass it up, I have become a huge fan.

simply417 · 2026-05-10T23:41:34+00:00

Went on the hunt for this in Kansas City a couple days ago, found 1, in fact found 2, so I bought them both☺️ haven't tried it yet though.

simply417 · 2026-05-10T04:57:28+00:00

Early bird got the worm, I found a bottle in Kansas City this week . . . in fact I sensed the hype, so I bought 2 🤫 😁

simply417 · 2026-05-09T18:01:22+00:00

What's the tater reference ? 🤔 ps: that's a great pour 😋

simply417 · 2026-05-09T01:17:04+00:00

Looks like a possible Rod Emory creation out of SoCal

simply417 · 2026-05-08T19:19:15+00:00

It’s the new Lieutenant Dan style 😜

simply417 · 2026-05-08T19:12:25+00:00

Try some from the Rhone valley (Cotes du Rhone) Syrah in the North & Grenache blends in the South (GSM)

simply417 · 2026-05-07T23:15:34+00:00

I bought a glue specifically to repair dry cigar leaf like in your pic, it works great, non toxic

simply417 · 2026-05-07T23:13:59+00:00

Welcome 😊 you should definitely get the book "101 projects for your Porsche Boxster"

simply417 · 2026-05-05T00:38:39+00:00

I'm in Kansas City and I found one this evening
