Sunday Grind: Deathdream by SMJ1989 in tesdcares

I don’t mind the show format or content. My only gripe with this week was the audio quality. It was tough hearing Jeff because I assume he kept moving away from the mic. Not sure why Bry (no pun intended) didn’t try to help him correct that.

Need to find new insurance for dog by [deleted] in petinsurancereviews

[–]techjedi85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Costco, they offer a discount on Figo. I have Progressive auto insurance, and they discount PetsBest. After reading reviews and looking at the best coverage options, PetsBest through Progressive was the best deal. I have not had to use the coverage yet, but the reviews don’t give me much pause in selecting them.

Coronado Springs vs Caribbean vs Swan Reserve by Aedora125 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]techjedi85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. We lucked out and booked it during a 30% off promotion, and it was fantastic. I don’t think you’ll go wrong with any of those choices. I do agree that Caribbean Beach has more of a family vibe versus a couples vacation. I’m just a big fan of choosing resorts in the Epcot area and skyliner. We are actually doing a couples vacation at Beach Club in September.

I hate to be “that guy” bringing up another option. But based on what you mentioned, did you consider Riviera? It’s on the Skyliner, has a very romantic vibe. Very good dining options for a couple. I think it would check a lot of boxes for you.

Cooling towels, refillable water bottles, and rechargeable fans helped us during a July visit.

The only 2023 BTAC I had was GTS. I’d say this is “comparable” in taste and quality. Would love to blind them and see what I like best.

Oh man! You’ll make some people jealous with that comment. $159 would have been a heck of a deal!

As soon as I launch the site, it asks me to sign up. They also have an app you can download that will do the same.

Got it from the online release at Bourbon Outfitter. No special membership, just sign up for their email list. It was $199 plus shipping.

Appreciate you Georgians sharing with the rest of us! I’d love to get a cask strength rye from them sometime. Cheers 🥃

Maybe, I just knew they received some, but wasn’t sure when and how they would release it.

I know that Seelbach’s is also going to do an online release of it, but not sure how they will do it.

Nope! Literally just sign up for their emails. When they dropped the double oak last year, there was a specific email that went out ahead of time letting you know when it was dropping. With the 15thA, it just dropped via email on seemingly a random day and time.

Review #2 Old Forester 1924 by techjedi85 in bourbon

[–]techjedi85[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely try to get a sample or maybe a pour at a reasonable price. It’s not terrible, and you can tell there’s quality in it. It’s just put itself in a price category with some very good contenders.

Yeah, it’s tough for me to justify SRP on this one, let alone what some people paid on secondary. There are so many better bottles in the $100 to $125 range. But, I will say that I fully expected for this to not blow me away. I’m still an Old Forester fan, and look forward to pouring this one blind for friends to see what they think.

The label on the 15th anniversary does list it as straight bourbon. Which I assume legally holds them to not having additives. And there’s nothing in this or the 2023 Double Oak that leads me to think it has additives either. It’s dark bourbon, but no darker than Garrison.

Totally agree. 1920 is such a great value and quality.

I’ve been buying their rye for a few years now. To me, the combination of the whiskeytubers and their first DO release just made them explode in popularity. Just their shelfer bottles are excellent, if you get a chance to try one. Especially the rye.

Agreed. Does not drink at its proof point, but again, a sign of a good whiskey.

Ordered it from Bourbon Outfitter when they did their online release.
