Man reviews Whiskey while his wife is packing her stuff and leaving him in the background
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.
Looks like they are back together or something. Lots of videos of them both recently including one released 22 hours ago of them going out to eat together.
A few months ago he had a video where he was vacationing with Cindy too.
It’s like 10m long and haven’t been bothered to watch all of it. I guess they just mended their relationship after so many years. I guess at a certain point in life you just say fuck it and go back to what you know.

Or you've been abused for so long as well as isolated from all your friends and family, that you're easily manipulated back in to a situation you('ve been made to) feel you can never escape.
There is definitely a degree of complacency with the familiar. That said, the guy reviews booze. Booze and relationships can be trouble lol. People say and do dumb shit no matter how “sober” they think they are.
It’s not a stunt. Some people just make better friends than partners. If there was no animosity during the break up, there’s no reason they can’t remain friends.
That video has a rich, complex undertone of depression. Mmmm that depression is smooth. You know, I find this video to be a real go-to for when I want that bouquet of isolation and denial. I just keep coming back to watch it again and again.
I can't find it, but a dozen plus years ago I was reading an interview with Phillip K Dick, who was married 5 times, and during the interview one of his- wives was packing things - and he commented to the interviewer to just let them take what they wanted as he has already experienced this multiple times.
The Wee Beasty is also very very good. My local shop has a couple of $100+ releases from Laphroaig that seem more trendy than anything else, but I'm still tempted. My wife would probably leave me if she knew I was willing to go into triple digits MSRP for a bottle... which is probably how we ended up with this thread.
I used to think Laphroaig was the poor man's Lagavulin, but now I don't believe there's a single poor man's thing about the brand.
Video is 8 years old, I think it's a true story at least based on what I read. Also the fact that his own video doesn't mention this in the thumbnail/title makes me think it's real.
