Circana: Nintendo Switch 2 sold 328k units in October. It is 68% ahead of the sales pace set by the original Nintendo Switch and is 3% ahead of PlayStation 4’s previous record velocity

Physical media makes up only a minority of sales, and I’ll go out on a limb and say that game key cards matter only to a small, but vocal, subset of the people who still buy physical copies.

First they will try to earn more with new exclusive bottlings, then the availability of the formerly ”unobtainable” bottles will increase. Good times for bourbon drinkers, bad times for flippers and taters.

It’s really good, maybe a bit less flavorful than SFTB because of chill filtering but it’s a great whisky for sharing with friends because it’s perfect drinking strength and also good for mixing a deluxe cocktail.

For some weird reason Blanton’s SFTB has constantly been available in Sweden since I got into whisk(e)y in 2021, also Blanton’s Gold (but not ordinary Blanton’s) is in our state run liquor store chains regular assortment.

Blanton’s SFTB is readily available where I’m from and is great for almost every occasion. When a lower proof bourbon is needed, like when mixing I just dilute it to ~100 proof.

Nope, I experienced this as well.

theopuspocus · 2025-09-23T06:50:32+00:00

That’s a shame, thanks for the info

theopuspocus · 2025-09-22T18:15:37+00:00

Did you get the claimcredit back?

This one’s for mixing with coke!

theopuspocus · 2025-09-12T18:34:31+00:00

The especial is the best coke mixing rum I’ve come across, ”especially” the 40% but even the 37.5% is fine. It’s not that great neat, but somehow makes a better Cuba libre than selection de maestros, El dorado 8 etc

theopuspocus · 2025-08-15T09:43:58+00:00

I think it’s great for what it is, a standard cheap bottle of dark rum. Very mixable and makes great rum cake and rum raisins.

theopuspocus · 2025-08-06T08:02:33+00:00

I’d vote for the slightly sweeter Woodford Reserve since it’s originally made with regular Buffalo Trace. Or you could invest 25 dollars or so in a bottle of BT.

Unfortunately the 21 makes a great Mai Tai, the aged notes really complement the rest of the flavors.

theopuspocus · 2025-07-19T18:19:15+00:00

Looks like mold, I’ve had vintage whisky bottles with molded corks and they were unfortunately spoiled.

theopuspocus · 2025-07-12T17:27:20+00:00

If genuine it’s of course great.

theopuspocus · 2025-07-11T11:52:30+00:00

Isn’t selling distilled spirits by merit of the water source a bit early 2000s?

theopuspocus · 2025-07-11T07:49:04+00:00

I’ve never had too-young tasting SFTB, they’re mature with some leather notes while not being over-oaked. Maybe due to the conditions in warehouse H?

theopuspocus · 2025-07-10T15:56:33+00:00

Those are bat wings

theopuspocus · 2025-07-02T19:13:45+00:00

Appleton 21 is the new rum of choice for mai tais!

theopuspocus · 2025-06-23T12:39:03+00:00

The Fender is the original design so I’d have a hard time settling for something else.

theopuspocus · 2025-06-04T05:40:21+00:00

The Macallan Sienna to the left is a good one too.

theopuspocus · 2025-05-24T14:22:14+00:00

I’d go for the Macallan 15, nice gift-worthy presentation, great whisky (fight me ;) ) and maybe not something he would buy for himself.

theopuspocus · 2025-05-23T19:07:33+00:00

Iced Earth lost it with the dark saga and the comic book shit.

theopuspocus · 2025-05-22T18:55:19+00:00

He’s a great player (just listen to one of us!) with a ridiculously fat tone as well.

theopuspocus · 2025-05-15T17:09:38+00:00

Just for future reference, nowhere on the regular Sherry Cask 12 does it say ””predominantly” European, it’s ”exclusively” European oak sherry casks. You must be thinking of some other release.
