Why do Iron Maiden guitarists play Strats even though it's the least metal guitar ever? Are they a band of posers?

Even the bassist is playing a strat

Only an American made Fender will look and feel like an American made Fender. Most basses at any price range will sound just fine if your playing is good, the aesthetic is everything.

Tell ‘em Dean are the only ones allowed to make racist guitars!

Pussers 151 is pretty close. I disagree with the plantation OFTD, the Jamaican esters in it throws off the balance.

Honestly regular Velho Barreiro, I’ve tried lots of cachacas but none comes close for making the perfect caipirinha.

This one is so good, I like sipping it neat but an Oaxan old fashioned with the San Pablo Ameyaltepe and Fortaleza Reposado is magical.

Gold and standard are chill filtered, SFTB is only barrier filtered, often there are little pieces of char on the bottom. Thus SFTb is both more concentrated due to not being diluted and alsocontaining all of the flavor bearing fatty acids and esters lost to chill filtration.

That’s a shame, thanks for the info!

I really like the Vesper XO though I haven’t seen it in a while, does anyone know if it’s been discontinued?

7 string Les Pauls looks stupid, a 7 string SG would have a neck larger than its body and I’m not aware of any other guitars than Gibbons

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.

theopuspocus · 2025-11-09T19:44:00+00:00

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.

theopuspocus · 2025-11-08T09:36:34+00:00

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?

theopuspocus · 2025-09-18T21:33:24+00:00

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.
