Full-on Scraggly Bum
Celebrating with my first Padron (Maduro 3000) after a fun draft. Tasty!
Been doing this league for 13 yrs and draft day is better than xmas. Last yrs draft was hell for me- after ignoring my anxiety issue for a couple yrs it hit me harder than ever that day and I was a complete mess. The silver lining, however, was that was the final straw and I decided to go on some light medication and it was the best decision I ever made! Today was AWESOME! Thanks for listening

sent me this great looking RP ALR 2 in a box pressed toro. Pairing it up with some Japanese Whiskey.

Have yet to try any Japanese whiskey. What would you compare it to?

Appreciate the honesty! I have some of their Primordials (Cookie Dough) as well. Kind of similar- pretty one-dimensional but very smooth and sweet tasting. Both of em go well with coffee (prob should have said that earlier)

Took me forever to warm up to the idea- the word Japanese with Scotch (guess they can't technically use it) or Whiskey just don't go.
Most I've had are made in the image of scotch. This one is very much a Speyside profile and probably one of the best bangs for the buck out there.
Theyre so successful, they're buying out or shares of big guys like Jim Beam and even Macallan.

Japanese whiskey are pretty much all (as far as I know) made the Scottish way. Many of them actually learned how to make whiskey in Scotland before opening up distillers in Japan, but I think they pay even more attention to details.

I'm one of the guys that gives Rocky a lot of shit, but this thing is really good so far. Almost has a muted Aganorsa flavor and comes off as aged in bourbon barrels.
Haven't looked it up- whats the price point?

I was hoping to show you the light that not all Rocky suck. I think I paid around $15 at my local b&m, but that was 2 years ago.
