Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Here it is. He says "Cindy and I are breaking up" - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it's a "no compromise" Malt, he assures us.

After seeing this video for the first time, I watched some of his others.
Seemed to be a pretty standard review channel until it hit me in the face:
His earliest videos review restaurants together with his wife. Then it transitions to reviewing bars, then only him sitting in front of his camera at home reviewing whisky. Until the iconic video of his wife leaving him.
Most of these vids were only watched by a couple people, and he reviewed a new bottle of whisky almost every day.

His Youtube channel documents his slow decline and slip into alcoholism. Dude must have drank several bottles of booze per week off camera, for years.

I used to buy for a liquor store. There are tons of whiskey people who open bottles but don't finish them. He might be an alcoholic or he could be one of those guys. We don't know why they broke up.

I’m not one of those guys. That’s why I quit collecting and drinking whiskey. Sadly enough.

Same here, loved the single malt scotch a little too much. 2 1/2 years sober now
