  • Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.

    I like too many for a concise list.

    I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo

    Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality

    Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way

    For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.





  • My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy

    Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay

    I’m still having minor issues, but they aren’t deal breakers. Like, I’ve had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn’t bother me much

    Main issue I’m trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I’m using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can’t see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I’m making don’t show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I’m missing something
