I've heard Old Crow is surprisingly good for the cost.

My goal is to have a glass of Macallan 30 year just so I can say I have. I know of one restaurant in my area that has it, for over $100 a glass and only as part of a meal that costs almost $200 minimum by itself.

I've had the Macallan 25. Back in about 2010 they did a national tasting tour. I signed up for a free seat. The event was 80-100 people in some event space set up kind of like a restaurant South of Market in SF. There was a round or two of canapés, and then The Macallan's head of marketing got up and did a 90 minutes slideshow. You know, history of the distillery, stuff about the next taste we were going to get, a surprising amount about sourcing barrels from Spain, that sort of thing. He even admitted that Highland Park had beat them on the 25s recently.

About every 15 minutes or so their troupe of waiters would burst out of the kitchen and give everybody a half-sized shot of something awesome. They started with the 12, brought out a 15 year fine oak, and things are hazy after that, but we did get a dram of the 25. It tasted like fire and happiness. Very, very, very smooth fire.

That's good marketing.

The Black Rifle Coffee Company, which is in their own words “the world’s premium conservative coffee company” held Q & A on Reddit.

They got roasted.

They bought literally every ad spot on the site for the day.

They deleted their OP and a bunch of their delightful blog posts.

quote:

Well, now…almost 9 months later, the worst President in history is gone, Hillary is more than likely back to domineering Bill with ball gags and rolled up newspapers, while deleting more emails and Donald J. Trump is in fact well on his way to Making America Great Again. History was made with his election on multiple fronts. Trump immediately went to work to carry out the promises he made in making fundamental changes; something that recent past presidents failed to do. It does not seem that Trump is making the strategic decisions based off of the lobby or special interests, He is peeling back the layers of the rotten onion that has been the US Government for the past 8+ years…And making all sorts of people butt hurt in the process.

I'm sure if you googled accutane before/after you'd see people who thought replacing their whole body with a reptile parasite was preferable to never looking human. It can be horrific and those people have my sympathy.

Yeah, my life before was hell. I went through 6 pretty rough months, but knowing how good I feel and look now, I would easily have done 12 months with even harder side effects. Also, the side effects can be moderated pretty well by varying your dose. When I was just going to work daily and then coming home to sit on my rear end I turned it up, but when we were going on vacation or I knew I had some hard physical activity coming I took fewer pills per day.

Most people saying this are people who used it as teens. Some people get lots of deep, and even painful acne when they are teenagers. Any potential pain from swollen sores on your face aside, it can be pretty difficult to deal with during a time in your life that looks are very important and you're trying to figure out dating/etc.

Teens generally aren't looking to get pregnant, rarely have any of the cholesterol issues that older adults can face, and generally it's just a safe, if kind of extreme way to quickly kill a massive, pus-weeping skin infection on your face - brought on by some people's hormonal changes during puberty.

My boyfriend did a course of it as a teenager and still has the smoothest, clearest, nicest skin I’ve ever seen 15 years later. And his face looked like a bright red mountain range before the Accutane.

Thanks to this thread for introducing me to bottled-in-bond bourbon. I did a little reading, went out last night and got a bottle each of Evan Williams BiB and "High Rye Mashbill" Granddad. Both are excellent, packed with unique and distinctive flavors to compete with anything I've tried at any price. I paid $40 for the pair.

I guess it's a failure of marketing when you consider that these whiskeys are so delicious and yet so affordable, and virtually unknown except by fancy bartenders and hipsters people who take whiskey very seriously.

I had horrible acne in my teens, cysts and all. It's honestly a loving nightmare. Dermatologist tried everything before Accutane: multiple topicals and antibiotics, the works. Nothing worked.

When they decided to try Accutane it almost entirely cleared up in a handful of months. Like from acne loving everywhere to a pimple or two, and it stayed gone after I discontinued the meds. Yeah they do blood tests every few weeks to double check your liver function when you're on it, and your skin is ridiculously photosensitive while you're taking it, but honestly it was life changing and 1000% worth it.
