I see a lot of discussion about Scotch. This makes me happy in my pants. Scotch puts hairs on chests and intrigue, mystery and sex appeal into women who drink it.

However this is only touching the surface of whisky/ey gentlemen! What of Rye's, Sour Mash, Irish, Japanese or dare I say... Australian!

Japanese hell yeah! Keen to get my hands on the Yamazaki 25.........one day Antz......one day.

Australian eh? I have a bottle here from Tasie............yet to be opened

Boz i have been waiting with baited breath or your scripture on Japanese whiskey.

i brough back a few with me from japan

some got drank with friends some given as presents but i have taken a few for myself to keep for a good occasion.

Yamazaki 12 ond 18yr aswell as Hibiki 17 and 21yr,

i almost cleared this cabenet out (this is at a supermarket btw)

(at $800 a bottle i did miss out on the 30yr)

i was tempted in a johnny i must be honest, at this price.

IMAG1482_zps8da6d514.jpg

so cheap in japan, half price basically to what we get it here for.

all alcahol is cheap, a bottle of balentines was $10

vodka was usually $8

goot times.

supprisingly in comparison the most expencive were jack daniels, basic johnnies and jim beam. still only maby %20-30 cheaper, couldnt work that out.

if anyone is ever going to japan ill give you a thousand or 2 to bring back what i should have bought.

also this was waiting for me at the airport which helped with my night flight.

this was just a table in a shop, with a pile of plastic cups and noone attending. i sampled a few....

but not before realising the good stuf was at the back

i slept well on that flight.

My alcoholic dream holiday destination, Otard, Hennessy and Fransac all in a row, Martell down the road and Remy over the back a bit...bliss!Posted Image

When I go back to France that is on my to do list.

Also should you eventually realise your dream holiday, make certain you book the tour to go to Camus distillery where you can also create your own Cognac

do you reside in Japan? That is all quality single malts right there (apart from King George JW blue label).

Kinda not surprising alcohol is cheaper considering in Australia excise tax and duties are imposed heavily on them.

Love the Suntory expressions and am keen to one day have them all in my display closet.

Looks like your flight would have indeed been a pleasant one ;)

I do intend to go back to Japan......but with young kids to look after, it could be a while yet.

Sorry should have been more clear...was there the other week :D This was at the Remy tour with the food and cognac tasting at the end...yum! The other photo is half of the prolific range they had in our hotel, the other cabinet housed 50+ bottle of the $2000+ bottles

Tonight I'm having some of this

post-5053-14036896617177_thumb.jpg

Ardbeg Uigeadail one of the great and powerful but certainly a tasty SM

At 54.2% I've added some water to stop the harshness of the Whisky from confusing my taste buds and palate

Been sitting with glass watch cover for about 20mins (this one takes some time to open up)

I'm expecting large amounts of peat and smokiness

Just had a taste then.

Nose: peat smoke with fresh sea salt mist (has the smell of the sea shore at an old fishing peer)

Palate: EXPLOSIVE (as the most first tastes are but this is really powerful)

Second taste - spicy and peppery as the alcohol tingles the mouth and throat but you get a hint of sweet dried fruit like fig and raisins

Finish: smoke, old burnt wood / BBQ smoke but not the suffocating type more a long and comforting ride in the country side next to a bond fire

Very moving single malt

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
