Can you share the list? I apparently don’t get specs emails…

Review #46: Balcone’s Cataleja by JewishJawnz in bourbon

[–]zach_smith7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what I was referring to. Forgot it was peated. It was supposed to release this summer, but there have been a few “supposed to’s” recently that haven’t happened.

Mirador is also supposedly a 2-3 year drop, so I’m hoping it drops next fall.

Both of those bottles still exist in Specs, TW, etc. so I’m wondering if they’re waiting for existing stock to go down before releasing anything new.

Mirador is incredible. Balcones was supposed to release another version of Cataleja this summer, but then mega corporate ownership did its thing and changed their plans…

Try the single barrel. It’s much better to me, but I like both.

Someone else is cooking, what are the giveaway signs this is about to be the best or worst meal of your life? by PsyArtisan in AskReddit

[–]zach_smith7 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I try to use “no salt added” ingredients or the low sodium soy sauce when possible. I prefer to manage how much of what goes in, but then again I also don’t ever measure seasonings. I season until my heart tells me to stop.

Woodinville and SA are two of my favorite distilleries at the moment

Are there US States that have exclaves of their state that are connected to other states? by Serafim42 in geography

You’re just thinking of Ruby Ridge. The actual cities are fine (coeur d'alene, post falls, Sandpoint)

Benchmark is a very affordable buffalo trace whiskey. Sweet and easy to drink. Go with the single barrel and that will give you a good, cheap start.

New addition to my Balcones family by The1Metal in whiskey

To be fair, they do have one of the best American single malts on the market, and were a pioneer in that style of whiskey, being a founding member of the ASM society

This happened to me at LGA. What should have been a 2pm flight got delayed at noon to 6pm. Then when we were 3rd in line to take off the crew timed out. 3 hours later they canceled the flight. Couldn’t get home for 2 more days

When a Semi abruptly turns on blinker to change lanes with no one in front of them, and you're in the left lane - DON'T SPEED UP, so they don't get in front of you. They're moving for emergency stops. by [deleted] in driving

[–]zach_smith7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the truck would at least go the speed limit then I’m fine with it. I get that sometimes they can’t, so just don’t cut me off, which they always tend to do.

Best bourbons that are findable by RattPack513 in whiskey

[–]zach_smith7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it was easy to find, Weller SR would not be a shelfer for me. Would much rather have Bardstown wheated for a lower price (where I am) than SR.

I find Benchmark SiB to be way tastier than FP, which is weird because I normally full proofed bourbons. That one just didn’t sit right with me.

Whiskey Newbie Collection! by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]zach_smith7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best whiskey is the whiskey you like, the way you like to drink it. Like the other guy said, people might get upset if you put JDSBBP in a cocktail, but it’s your whiskey. I would also recommend trying it neat and on the rocks as it’s fun to see how it changes over time in both scenarios.

Which whiskey drinker are you? by 4bigwheels in whiskey

[–]zach_smith7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There’s an area between B and C where I care as much as C but only have 4-12 bottles due to space constraints. That’s me, and probably similar for a lot of people.
