After finally getting my hands on a bottle, I just feel disappointed.
Is it good? Of course. Is it worth chasing or paying $120+? No freaking way.
I’d rather have so many different bourbons than this one.
Anyone tried Weller 12 and think it was just okay?
I asked this question to the seller about week ago but haven't heard back yet so I thought I'd post it .on reddit
Here is what the piece looks like. It's plastic hexagonal with a small circular metal flat piece on one side and then it's hollowed on the other side.
It's probably a simple piece but it doesn't show up in the manual for the machine? Thanks!
My choice: Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with this bourbon, it just doesn’t have that “something special” to it for as much as people talk about it.
I am interested to hear your “controversial” opinions.

Every few months, this film gets a big long post or submission from users here, about how it's not terrifying, a letdown, disappointing etc. Which is wildly unfair.
I'll preface this with I'd love to read what other regular sub members think of the film, who still believe it is one of the greatest, and why their love for it perseveres.
The film is considered a classic/masterpiece for many many reasons. Watching the film in 2022 can only do so much, but not replicate how it was on release, or how it was when it was unbanned in other countries and again got a movie theatre release, followed by a home release in the early 00s on DVD, allowing so many more people to watch it for the first time (albeit the remaster). All copies had been taken off shelves in 1988 in the UK and Ireland for example, and was banned for 11 years after.
>BBFC lifted the ban in 1999 after concluding that the film, “while still a powerful and compelling work, no longer had the same impact as it did 25 years ago"
"The Exorcist" novel by William Peter Blatty spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at #1 in 1971. That's how big it was - and a film was surely going to be a goldmine.
The film was advertised as a "Suspense" film on release and TV spots - though the TV spots and advertising were horrifying to people at the time.
The Exorcist (1973) - Rare Trailers and TV Spots
The original theatre release had subliminal imagery (one of the first films IIRC), which couldn't be seen on the home releases, and even in the later DVD follow-ups decades later. There was a restoration fan edit done in the mid 00's released online that had the original '73 release preserved. The subliminal imagery was finally re-added into the Director's Cut release. Imagine sitting in the theatre in 1973, and in a couple of scenes you think you saw a demon face on screen, but other people might not have seen or noticed? Here is one example. There were also other hidden things in the film 6 creepy things hidden in THE EXORCIST Some of these might not be the version on streaming sites, the original 73 release.
One thing to be considered, everyone at the time of release knew the film was based on a true story, as a result of the hugely successful novel and it being No. 1 on the Bestselle
