Comment on Does anyone here enjoy a whisk(e)y ? in ~food
myrrh (edited )Link...we've a couple hundred single malts in our collection, mostly scotch + about a shelf of world whiskies, acquired a few bottles per year over the past couple of decades... ...almost anything......we've a couple hundred single malts in our collection, mostly scotch + about a shelf of world whiskies, acquired a few bottles per year over the past couple of decades...
...almost anything over 62% ABV gets my attention: i've yet to meet an unadultrated single-cask cask-strength sipping whisky which i couldn't learn to appreciate, so independent bottlings get very high marks from me in general...
...that said, most of our collection are mass-market single malts; i recommend any of the springbank campbeltons for a reasonably easy-to-find quality scotch (hazelburn/triple-distilled, springbank/two-and-a-half-distilled, longrow/peated), but amrut's indian cask-strength malts i think might be the deal going these days...
...i've yet to find an irish malt which i've fallen in love with; i've had a few but the regional style tends to thin whiskies out of the market, and i say that despite appreciating english-style lowland malts...my current favorite is probably teeling's single cask, which is a perfectly respectable whiskey but doesn't sit particularly high on our shelves...

Comment on Conservative activist Charlie Kirk shot and killed at Utah college event in ~society
...i've played one dream theatre track, the count of tuscany, too too many times to not yet have tired of it: i don't if i can call it their definitive magnum opus, but it's certainly a contender, not unlike echoes is for pink floyd...
(i believe it was also mike portnoy's final studio recording before leaving dream theatre fifteen years ago, although he's since returned with their new album this year: they're all fine musicians but as the soul of the band his influence was sorely missed)
