@DavidMarra @Michel_Nilsson @Bill_Linnane Perhaps meaning they are priced high so the flippers can’t scoop up limited release bottles and flip them for that big payoff? If a bottle will flip for €XXX, and the producer charges that up front, they realize the gain, not the flippers. Not good for the drinker, either way.
@mattheldstab@VMware I’ve liked and used VMware products for nearly 20 years. My career, too, has been enriched by their technology. But a 5-6 fold cost increase for licensing? That’s a death knell, as rumors a year ago that Broadcom would kill off relationships with smaller customers comes to pass.
@TaylorCope1982 At those prices, it'd be the least expensive non-peated exit option - Blantons (sic) or Weller SR, neither being a favorite. Though I *might* spring for the extra 4.00 and get something I actually like - Redbreast 12. 😉🥃
@DavidMarra@JamesSliabhLiag@SilkieWhiskey@TotalWine@PreissImports@HenryPreiss There are quite a few TW in FL, Dave. Did a spot check of Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa; no Sliabh Liag products in those stores. Even poking around the San Diego stores, it was hit and miss on which stores carried expressions. Didn't find Midnight listed at any of them.
@IrishWhiskeyUSA I'm 30/35, though with Limavady being SiBs, it's doubtful I tried the one pictured. I have bottles of GS Quails' Gate, The Irishman CS 2023, and MVR VR 2023 (which incorrectly listed as SPS--it's a blend), but haven't gotten to opening them yet. Missing the Portmagee & Slainté.
@mattkusek Most likely a @WhiskeyGate The Gael or The Hanson, or an @IrishDistillers Method and Madness, off the top shelf behind and to the right of that barrel. 🤔😉🥃
@sheepyie@Graham__Coull But the extrapolated cost of the Keogh’s is 37.5g, for the like cost of the Pringles. With one, you’re getting actual crips vs. the equivalent of pressed and formed mashed potatoes. 🤔😉
@AsiaIrish Jameson Triple Triple is a decent pour, but a bit pricey at £34.99. I pick it up at duty free travelling between US & CA and get it for 2/$50 USD (£39.57). 🥃
@lordofthelast Nah, we're fucked. We've more mass shootings on a daily bases than most civilized countries have in a year. Or two. Or a decade. Also, Sandra sounds a bit like a cunt.
