Did you not see the most recent video drop? Best whiskies under a hundred bucks!! My goal in whisky is always to save people money. Unfortunately, that means I've spent more than an STI in whiskies learning and trying tons of different whiskies. Someone has to do the hard work. Also... no thanks to the ardbeg. I have to draw the line somewhere LOL. I just got in a bit of a back and forth with a couple of their ambassadors on IG... they know what I don't like and yet they still push their peated wares Do you have a favorite single malt? Cheers!

The Balvenie 12 DW is super underrated in my book. Surprisingly good and flavorful especially for the pricepoint. It's entry level in price but not in complexity. Glenmo10 is a bit boring in my book. Have you tried any of the private editions?

Not sure that a combo car meet and whiskey tasting is in anybody's best interests!

(I've been in cars with heated seats. They make me feel like I'm taking a dump in my pants. No thanks! lol)

Lol I’ve heard that before. I love all the nice features, but I guess everyone is different.

I as well will not use the heated seats but because I think it is ore like pissing yourself but basically the same theme. Now having said that I did spend much of my driving life with cars that had no power brakes, steering or anything else. Some even had vacuum powered windshield wipers and tube AM only radios. Let's not even go down the bias ply tire road. So even the modern bare bones base models are luxurious.

I had an early 90s civic with no power steering at one point and that's just a forearm exercise in parking lots lol. Some amenities have definitely been fantastic adds but some are just frivolous at this point. It was 28* when I left the house this morning and I'd still never go for seats that feel like i crapped myself. And thanks... I had to look up vacuum powered windshield wipers LOL

Vacuum powered wipers were a blast. You would step on the gas and the vacuum would all be used to advance the distributer and the wipers would stop dead. You would take your foot off the gas and they would go like hell. If you were at high enough RPMs and the vacuum built up enough when you took your foot off the gas they would start up so hard that one would get flung off into space never to be seen again. The are probably a couple of 9 inch wiper blades still in low level orbit!
