Whisky drinker, mostly Japanese, but drinks Scotch and other world whiskies too.
Current favs: Tsunuki, Komagatake, Saburomaru, St.Kilian and Filey Bay
Which is why I have had my own server for years now. For anyone who does not want to put up with that I can recommend Proton.

With Qi2 and their patent on magnetic ring placement and use. Which causes the nonsense Pixel lock or what ever for google to be just engineered different enough to touch apple's patent and why most other companies have just not bothered to integrate and use magnetic cases that do not breach patents

With Silicon Carbon, the brands using them most are all ex BBK brands. And these BBK brands together outsell apple on total phones and 80-90% of their phones are silicon/carbon.
So I do think there is enough volume. Could also be that BBK has the patent like the same bullshit apple is pulling 1/2

I have no idea who you are but i hope you'll raise enough to save your cat. I'm not rich so could not support you with a huge amount. Hope it helps.

There is a security and border checkpoint in Lille too. Or at least, there always has been. As the UK was never in Schengen.

@eurostarnews.bsky.social Why no tickets to and from Lille from The Netherlands?
Are we lovers of Northern French Cuisine not worth the stop?

Damn it. I just want to go eat some Welsh from Rotterdam for lunch and then be home again by dinner time. They should let me do that too.

It is indeed a nice drop. If you can even get a 15yo miyagikyo then please try that.

If you have had age statements miyagikyo before, mouth wise it goes towards the 12. It's miles ahead of the current non age one.

Left. Because it's Hella good.

These are about €120 for me. Worth the different flavour profile for me. I do realise I pay less than most. Normal retail is about €160.

I don't like all of their whiskies, but enough of them. They experiment a lot with barrels and peat so it's never boring. They do ship some of their stuff to Europe if you want to try it sometime. But not all of it and I was looking forward to try the maple syrup barrel they did for Christmas.

Had these just now. Love the Turf trail DC. It's a really unique earthy smoke that is more prevalent in their Gravedigger malts. It's in my opinion something cool to discover.

Tried the 50. It is stunning, but not worth the price though.

I agree with you but if you do get a chance sometime, compare different batches Yamazaki 18 and you will notice the difference. It's not a good thing in my opinion. It's never bad, just different. There is so much more fun Japanese whisky to discover aside from Suntory and Nikka.
December 23, 2024 at 8:47 PM
Yamazaki of course.

Hakushu is also much more consistent in flavour profile where as the Yamasaki differs too much batch by batch.
So it really depends on which batch you compare it with. Though I do think for me Hakushu will always win.
