I did get to enjoy some Octomore and quite enjoyed it. I've got a bottle of Lagavulin, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Johnny Walker Red, and Glenfiddich in the cabinet.
Don't enjoy it often anymore, but did get to last night for annual "Lobster Fest", which is my wife's birthday celebration with another couple.

I'm going to get a bottle for my friend for his (recent) birthday.
I can never remember if he likes Jim Beam or Johnny Walker, but I can remember one of my favorite [aliases/aliai?] – Jimmy Bodger.
(Best alias ever? — Tyrone Shoelaces)

In my estimation, Jamison strikes a good quality/price balance for regular consumption.

No.
Running a cost/benefit analysis of the issue, determining a target level of emissions based on that analysis, and collaborating with the world on a tax strategy to achieve those emission targets would be my prescription.
Instead we have polar opposite thinking where "CO2 is bad and should be avoided at any cost" to "CO2 doesn't matter at all and can be ignored at any cost".
You trying to shut this thread about libations down? |

Under specific conditions, even the Nitrogen oxides become beneficial. |

Big risk/small reward vs small risk/big reward?
We risk climate catastrophe if we aren't prepared for the Beaufort Gyre shutting down the Gulf Stream. .... and for pollution.

That's your prescription? What is this 'the world' of which you speak?

You either start increasing prices slowly or invite the dystopian nightmare future.

freebeard likes conspiracy theories and communicating in riddles and code. Maybe they make sense if you follow QAnon. (Maybe freebeard is Q?) |

Is this one of those fallacious arguments which says "There are other things in the universe that affect the ecosystem"?

freebeard a bit obtuse sometimes, but usually spot on once you get the intended POV.
