Glenfiddich is a nice little number, would recommend

literally solid gold

>>10705416
Evan Williams is the best you can get for $11.

>>10705440
This desu

If you want to try a nice blend (also nice priced) I also would suggest bushmills

>>10705440
nice , i haven't had much apart from Johnnie Walkers branch.

>>10705444
That's some cheap whiskey, will check it out

>>10705443
Canadian whiskey is the worst.

Go ask your local liquor department guy

old grandad

>>10705489
We don't really have liquor stores where I live.

>>10705416

What's the best tasting Scotch I could get the cheapest at virtually any liquor store?

>>10705495
Really? Where do you live, Mecca?

I'll give you some good recommendations then. I used to be that guy. What is your price range?

>>10705416
*flips hair back*
Please bartender, don't you have any whiskey stones? I can't have my drink getting..... diluted~ .. tee-hee!

>>10705503
It's a best gift after all

>>10705501
Under 100 dollars

>>10705416
If you retards want to drink your whiskey/whisky cold and neat and not watered down, just put it in the freezer you retarded fucks

>>10705498

whiskey isn't whisky.

pick one.

>>10705484
Fuck you! Crown is delicious!

>>10705444
I believe you mean Early Times, but I forgive you.

If you want *really* cheap, Fleschmann's.

>>10705416
Old Parr is quite good if you give it a chance.

>>10705416
Why would you keep sugar after it’s gone bad like that.

best cheap everyday whiskey right here

I'm partial to Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, and Auchentoshan

Anyone got any recommendations for a budding alcoholic?

>>10706132
IS that some old grad dad?. fuck. So many bad memories.

>>10705416
I like bulleit rye personally.

>>10706132
name a more iconic duo, i'll wait.

>>10706313
not bad, but overpriced as hell. all rye's taste pretty much the same, considering like 3 distilleries make them then ship bulk to a million different bottlers.

>>10705498
If you're willing to spend more around 30-40, Monkey Shoulder and Famous Grouse taste like some way more expensive shit.

>>10705416
if you want the best price to taste bourbon its makers mark.

>>10706367
gtfo

You're gonna have to work hard to come up with a better American whisky. Even harder to find a better one at ~35 bucks.

>>10706367

at least cite some actually good shit like lot40 or Alberta premium

Not useless to the maker. They provide a steady income from rich dumbfucks.

>>10705615
Stones are easier to fit in your freezer, and beats keeping 12 bottles in some kind of seperate freezer.

>>10706448
>not using ball bearings in a slingshot
kys

>>10706467
>>10706493
Obviously a round projectile flies straighter, but sometimes you don't have any ballbearings on hand and the niglets are out in the street again.

>>10706289
al/ck/oholi/ck/s please send help

>>10706685
Are you a dipsomaniac of means? If so, and if you like swamp whiskey, consider Laphroaig. The 10 year is great, but if your pockets are a bit deeper, consider the 25.

>>10705416
Stay away from Jim Bean and Wild Turkey and you should be fine. Also, stay away from flavored whiskeys. Cherry whisky might sound good on paper, but it's cough medicine tier.

Jack Daniels is a good entry whisky, I think. When you get used to it you can start trying out other brands.

>>10705443

Did you post canadian leaf unironically? No. Just no.

I would recommend some cheap Japanese whiskeys like Suntory White or Nikka Black Special. They cost less than $10 in Japan, which is why I drink them, but they might be too pricy in the west.
>>10706313
Good recommendation, but it's kind of expensive. If the OP is just getting started drinking whisky he should try this later. I would put Whistlepig in the same boat.
>>10706373
This is a good whisky.
>>10706367
Makers Mark is a gold standard. Good recommendation.
>>10707009
Jack Daniels. This is a good stepping stone to better whiskeys. If OP wants to mix or dilute he should use this.

If I didn't compliment your whisky choice it's simply because I haven't tried it.

My top 3 for under $100 are Jefferson Ocean Aged, Booker's cask strength, and Basil Haydens.
The Bookers is fucking hot as hell but by far has the most flavor, the Jefferson is almost too smooth the enjoy, and Basil Hayden's is like $40 and the best medium of flavor, smoothness, and spice.

>>10707386

You don't know what you're talking about and don't understand whisky. Please leave the thread.

That doesn't diminish the fact it's still perfectly decent and palatable rye.

>>10706329
This shit right here is $11 at my "discount" liquor warehouse. It's not even a strong rye flavored rye. Just a damn fucking smooth whiskey that isn't too fancy to mix.

>>10706289
If you like the Glenmorangie, you'll LOVE Macallan. 12 year sherry oak is fine, and is about as sweet as the typical Glenmorangie I've had, but smooth as butter too.

>>10707009
I'll admit Wild Turkey is a bit pricey for what it is. But wtf it's perfectly fine whiskey.

>>10707720
please educate us o wise sage

Teeling is a good Irish whiskey.
Whyte and Mackay is a good Scottish blended whiskey.
Lagavulin is a meme but a tasty meme. Try their 16 yr old. She goes down like a...

Hmm..don't want to derail and or make a new thread. Anyone have good recommendations for a nice dry gin? Probably a lame choice but I like Wild Turkey 101 and Maker's Mark.

>>10709147
>nice dry gin?
Boodles is excellent for martinis/gimlets. Bombay mixes well with tonic water. But there is so much variation in gin flavor, that it's mostly a trial-and-error thing to find what you like.

>>10709147
The most classic recommendation I've seen on /ck/ is Bombay gin (dry, not sapphire) for low price and high quality

>>10705416
Why not just get those cheap reusable ice cubes instead of meme ass whisky stones?

>>10707875
Like a....forest fire? I love me some peat, but it's an acquired thing.

>>10709034
While the NAS Taketsuru is pretty great, I would not necessarily call other plebes for not having a taste for their mid range offerings. Now if you were to insist drinking the 17 yo, your text would be on point.

>>10709368
Hardly, Corryvreckan would be close to a forest fire smoke, Lagavulin is smooth, sherried and more dominantly medicinal smoke.

>>10705416
If I were you, I would try a few distilleries to figure out what you like. Speyside for sherry, Islay for smoky, Jap/Taiwan for something else entirely. While a 15ml bottle might more costly per liter, figuring out what you like is way cheaper than chugging several mediocre bottlings. Cheap entry for Japs would be Nikka whisky from the barrel. If you want to try a few different ideas about scottish whisky, try to find a Glenmorangie sampler pack. Same base 10 yo whisky with 4 different finishings in different barrels, easy on the wallet but rich in information. Picture absolutely related.

>>10709169
I like Bombay Sapphire, never heard of Boodles. Anyone ever try Hendrick's?
>>10709238
I didn't know they had a non-sapphire drink.

>>10709576
That's because the sapphire is far more popular, presumable because it's got a much lighter gin flavor since they do an infusion by vapor through the botanicals instead of the classic copper pot distillation with london dry gins like Bombay Dry. Basically, New Western gins outcompete london drys because most people fucking hate juniper and New Westerns hit more on the "flavored vodka" market

>>10706968
FLEENSTONS??

>>10705416
Hey man, looks like a lot of people here aren't giving you great recommendations.

If you want something heavy and peaty, I'd highly recommend Talisker Skye. This is probably my favourite whisky

If you want something light, I cannot recommend Cuidich N Righ enough. It's smooth, it's accessible and it's the perfect casual whisky. It's the official whisky of my father's army regiment. It's hard to come by though so you might have to order online
http://www.thehighlandersmuseum.com/store/cuidich-n-righ-single-malt-scotch-whisky/

>>10710241
My friend's dad has 10 boxes of Talisker Skye in a row on the floor of a closet in his house

My Aunt just bought me another fucking bottle of Lagavulin Distillers 1999. My third official bottle.

It's impossibly good. Probably the best tasting scotch without it having a real collectors value attached to it.

>>10710305
>another FUCKING bottle

>>10710341

I just don't feel worthy. She got it cause she flew cross country and is a goddamn saint. I just feel like shit accepting it.

>>10710350
Don't feel too bad, it's not like you're robbing her purse for money to stop the WDs

recently had an Isle of Arran scotch

amazing stuff, even without any of the peat expected from Scotch normally

>>10706123
That's not sugar, it's literally rocks that people put in their drinks.

>>10705416
Wtf are those stones

>>10707009
Ugh, you just reminded me that I tried the Jim Beam red stag stuff and it was some of the worst tasting stuff I've ever drank. Pure cough syrup.
Anything with a flavor added is gonna be bad. Honey, apple, whatever, it's gonna taste like trash.

>>10710940
They're alright for cocktails. Not the ones you described, but God help me a white russian with a shot of pinnacle cake vodka and chocolate milk tickled my tongue like a giddy faggot.

How do you guys drink this shite?
Do you literally unironically pour some and drink it because it tastes good? Or are you all just pretending to enjoy it to sound 2deep4u and high class to mask the fact you're all scum and neets?
Whiskey tastes like shit and burns like fire. It doesn't taste like "hints of oak, vanilla, dried fruits" and whatever faggy made up descriptors you pretend you're tasting. You can't even taste anything over the burn of the ethanol.

Stop kidding yourselves. You're anonymous. Who are you trying to impress pretending you actually drink this shit because you enjoy it? You drink it either to show off or you shoot it to get get drunk.

>>10710926
Whiskey stones. You chill them and toss them in your drink to keep it cold. Unlike ice, it won't melt and dilute your good whiskey.

>>10710940
I think Jim Beam, and Wild Turkey are great

>>10710971
Stop circulating liquor vapor headspace through your nose, boy. It tastes terrible to you despite 80 proof liquor being on the mild end of the spectrum because you have shit for drinking experience. Bourbon just tasted like "whiskey" until I worked my way through a bottle of rye whiskey through many sipping sessions. Now it's excessively easy to pick out the rye flavor. All you need to do is train your palate and not hit all the wrong parts of your throat and nose with liquor like a reckless retard

>>10710971
this
its basically the same with all alcohol
either its some other thing like soda with a shitty alcohol trash after taste or its just straight alcohol taste
people are literally retarded

>>10711218
why not just eat rye then?
why soak it in poison and then try to ignore the poison taste?

>>10711241
>>10711234
>>10711218
What the fuck is your problem, you dumb faggot? Can't appreciate acquired tastes? Why don't you go pester some hot sauce enthusiasts about how chili peppers just taste like burning with your gay righteous anger?

>>10711241
The rye isn't "soaked in poison," it's part of the grain mash that's fermented and then distilled

Let me tell you: I used to be a faggot about alcohol since my dad was an alcoholic and I watched it fuck him up, but when I turned 21 I found out for myself that alcohol beverages are legitimate flavorful foodstuffs with long histories.

Also rye whiskey made me like rye bread, not the other way

>>10711218
don't waste your time trying to explain shit to these mouthbreathers. half the time they're low-rent shitposters that were laughed out of other boards trying to push their "all alcohol tastes bad" meme, usually aided by that faggot xdcd strip.

Rest of the time it's literal underage fags with a 4 year old's palate venting at folks like us for liking anything outside of kool-aid-tier trash.

keep it constructive, tell us about something good you recently had.

>>10711271
Oban 12, tasted like liquid honey, although in small volume. The only scotch I've had before that was Lauder's Blended ($13/liter)which tastes like honey if you have just a drop of it and bad copper and swamp muck if you have more, so I potentially missed out on other important tasting notes in the Oban

Whiskey stones are the most retarded shit. When ice changes state into water that requires a lot of energy, whisky stones have none of that

alcohol is stupid no matter what you say

>>10711352
"No."

>>10705416
Woodford Reserve or Maker's Mark. There is no other option unless you want Irish whiskeys.

>>10711559
Evan Williams or Wild Turkey 101.

If I'm being cheap Jim Bean
If I'm not then woodford

>>10711572
Evan Williams is for unemployed hicks. Wild Turkey is for hicks who have 20 bucks to blow on booze. Get on my level nigger.

>>10711608
No, because fuck Maker's Mark and Turkey 101 is at least $25-$30, ya unknowledgeable yutz. For standard slosh, I'd take Williams over Jim and Jack any day. We're not talking Early Times here.

>>10711612
Eat shit you hick. Woodford Reserve is superior especially when Old Fashioneds are involved. But Evan Williams is unironically for fucking hick losers. I can't believe you champion that garbage. Jesus kid.

>>10711625
You sure like saying hick. And this coming from a man who holds Maker's in high regard, and measures the greatness of your whiskey from making old fashinoneds? Jesus wept. Good luck with that, champ.

>>10711664
Old Fashioned drinks are the measuring stick for what a good bourbon is. Maker's Mark is dope. If someone made a drink for me with Evan Williams. I'd leave the bar and not pay my tab.

>>10711686
Your second two sentences should've been one, dine and dash over some petty drink fagginess is stupid, and your old fashioneds should be made with brandy. Maker's is like the Jack of yesterday, all flash and no substance. At least people today know that Jack Daniels' is crap that only Sinatra could move, but people are wowed by the wax dip on Makers even though it's as rail as Beam or Williams.

>>10711730
The one time I drank Maker's Mark it was the worst bourbon I've ever had apart from Evan Williams Green Label

Actually, it tasted like higher proof EWGL

>>10706467
You say that like you never have to remove kebab

not too picky on the mixed drink side, but one time someone bought me a scotch at a bar not realizing that if you ask a barman for any generic name, you're getting the cheapest shit. I did NOT enjoy drinking fucking jw red neat that night.

>>10711764
I get the reference

Alright, some jibber.

Ardbeg, Bowmore, Clynelish, Laphroaigh, Lagavulin, Talisker,

ahh ffs, every Islay scotch. Their industrial alembic stills are something to see.

>>10707009
What the fuck is wrong with you? Wild Turkey is amazing entry level bourbon.

>>10711828

Just so you guys know, the shape of the stillhead on each distillers still controls the flavour of the product. That's how alembic stills work. They pull product at around 65%, so that means a lot of flavour gets past the distillation process. An azeotropic still pulls at 93%.

>>10711730
>>10711751
Again, Woodford Reserve is the best. Faggots.

>>10711920
You can suck my gigantic micropenis, and tip your bartender on the way out, ya fae fuck.

>>10711923
Listen you micro dick homosexual I will fist fight you. But you're probably in the hills of Tennessee and I'm in Texas and Texas always wins. Eat shit nigger.

>>10712071
You sack of shit bastard.

>>10706398

The only AP I buy is Dark Horse, and that's for mixing.
Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve is the only honestly lovely Canadian Whisky I've tried, and I'm Canadian.

>>10707009

WT101 is a fine bourbon.
Can attest to flavoured stuff.

I started with Red Stag and loved it, but now it's too syrupy and sweet and just not actually whiskey, like >>10710940 said.

>>10705904
Why are you so obsessed, nobody gives a fuck.

>>10709576
Hendrick’s is a VERY herbal gin. They boast 2 unique ingredients (rose and something?), but I mainly taste juniper. I’m biased because I hate gin. For whatever reason, I can stand Beefeater if it’s in a martini, but ginfags seem to hate it. I drink New Amsterdam sometimes because it’s basically citrus vodka.

>>10707243
>its another tastelet edgy youngfag who doesn't appreciate good whiskey
Get the fuck off my board

>>10710971
You’re either a troll, have not acquired a taste for good booze, or you don’t even drink at all.

I’ll bet you think cigars smell like shit, too.

Stupid people are allowed to exist and continue being stupid. Just try to understand that your opinion doesn't matter. Stay out of out way and let us continue building the world.

>>10711608
>Wild Turkey is mainstream, so it’s bad!
Again, I’ll agree it’s not the best choice for $30. But if you don’t like it, you’re either a puss that can’t handle 101 proof whiskey, or you don’t have a good palate/nose. It’s a solid whiskey. And if you haven’t tried Russell Reserve, their high end stuff, you’re missing out.

>>10712046
It’s good occasionally, especially during winter. But for us southern gents who like to chill out with a mint julep on our covered porch, we prefer a nice bourbon. Not every whiskey needs to taste like a campfire.

>>10712700
Sure thing, bud. Nobody who enjoys a drink has ever produced anything, and no one who is successful will ever indulge in the finer things. Got it.

Imagine that you don’t cook with wine, either? Wow, you must be very cultured. I’m sure you’re a master of fine dining, hence why you’re on a cooking board.

Best scotch i've had? Unfortunately the one that most matches my pallate so far is Dewers 12yr. Monkey's Shoulder is great, but it took me a while to come around on it. Glenmo' is alright, but my bottle is sorta just sitting there.
Honestly not a big fan of the sherry or port cask scotches. Not sure if i've had Glenlivet yet i think.

Bourbons are great, go-to's would probably be Larceny, Buffalo Trace, and Elijah Craig Single Barrel. Heard good things about 4 roses single barrel as well.

Irish and canadian whiskeys are terrible.

>>10712714
You're right, I don't cook with wine. It's sad that you think this is even remotely necessary.

>>10706132

>100 proof grandad

>>10705416
That's a tough answer for your general question. There are so many types of Whisky that without a more specific question it's tough to answer.

>>10705416
What do you like? What's your budget?
There's whisky and whiskey, bourbon and rye, it goes on forever.

>>10705416
probably out of your price range, but you really do get what you pay for.

>>10705416
n i k k a

So I'm a bit of a late bloomer and I'm starting to try alcohol a few years after being legally able. Typical parent with addiction story that kept me away.
I have no idea how alcohol works and what's the difference in favors between rum, whiskey, etc.
Any help with figuring out what to try? Within a budget of course. I want to branch out of the girly drinks while eating out.
This is my experience so far:
So far I've tried a few cheap whiskeys but can't really enjoy the taste.
Jagermeister on the other hand tastes like cold medicine and not like whiskey so I'm actually very fond of it.
Schnapps so far has been too sweet.
Captain Morgan was kind of bad and reminded me of whiskey, but I found a cheap brand that tastes good in a coke.
Tequila tasted like fritos soaked in alcohol.
With beer, the light stuff seems to not be my taste. Cider's alright. Blue Moon's decent, I liked a red ale and a guinness stout pretty well.
And I'm good with red and white wine.

>>10713447
Most of bourbon's flavor is from the ~15% rye it's distilled from and then the charred oak from the barrel, so if you want bourbon but more intense, go for rye whiskey.

Rum is either sugarcane flavored if light or molasses+barrel flavored if dark, or vanilla+cinnamon/other spices if spiced. Mixing with coke is a college meme and you'd instantly be better off mixing dark rum with ginger beer (beer, not ale, it's like ginger ale but significantly more powerful) to make dark&stormies. Gosling's is a good started ginger beer but I've found cock&bull to have pretty bad throat burn.

With tequila, look out for "100% agave" printed on the label or else it's a mixto that's distilled from only 51% agave and 49% sugar and tastes much worse and much more bitter (example: Jose Cuervo, anything labelled "gold" or "silver"). 100% agave tequilas are a little bit more expensive than Jose Cuervo but are extremely worth it ($20 for jose, $23 for espolon for example). Lunazul is the budget favorite, I've personally tried Espolon, but from what I've gathered, the cheaper 100% agave tequilas are similar. Good mixed with coke with a squeezed lime wedge (batanga) or mixed with grapefruit soda with a squeezed lime wedge (paloma). Tequila straight tastes like essence of vegetable to me but mixtos are far too bitter. Age statements in order of younger to older for 100% agave tequilas: Blanco, Reposado, Anejo. The choice for both sipping and mixing is reposado since it's the best mix of price and smoothness.

It's worth it to at least try gin as well, the starter of choice being New Amsterdam gin since it's lighter on the juniper (pine flavor) and has more citrus, so it's essentially a citrus vodka+.You might not like it straight, but it mixes well in a Tom Cpllins or a gin&tonic with a lemon or lime wedge (I also like it straight or mixed in a martini)

>>10713447
A great thing to do is picking up a few reasonably-priced liqueurs and mixing up drinks with them, whether by recipe or experiment. You can find great taste and it's a good hobby activity as well. Try to avoid syrupy liqueurs that come in a long line of flavors since these are mostly artificial and not really all that great.

Jagermeister is a bit overly sweet as well, so I usually mix it 1:1 with good vodka for a strong drink or with soda water/club soda/seltzer for a weaker drink (both with ice cubes) to reduce the sweetness. If you like jagermeister, you might also like other herbal liqueurs/liquors like fernet or ouzo for dry, or sambuca for sweet (look up anisettes).

I was in this phase with scotch, buying a new one every few weeks. Now that was an expensive time in my life, but i was making a lot more money than I am now so i didn't care.

Surprised not to have seen this posted, yet. This has been one of my favorites for a while and it's in the 25-40 dollar range for a bottle depending on where you find it.

CC Chairman's Select

100% rye
best rye whiskey out there, and its not expensive

Id rather drink it hot than with those queer ass hipster whiskey jewelry. What ever happened to liking the basics.

>>10715462
Jack is pure shit though. This is fact and only retarded babbys first whiskey amerilards think it's good

>>10715480
This

But Motley Crue drank it?! There's no greater endorsement.

Proof came before abv, it's a part of liquor's heritage and sounds nice so it isn't going away

>>10707009
Jack Daniels is shit. Basically the Budweiser of whiskey. Wild Turkey 101 is great on the rocks or for mixing. Their higher end Russell’s Reserve 10 year is my new go to. Where I live you can get a handle WT 101 for $32 or a 750 of RR for $30.

Legitimately doesn't taste like whiskey. I accepted a shot from some hick from Wyoming once and it was more sugary than rum. I was already pretty lit up at that point so I told the guy that I didn't like whiskey anymore.

>>10706313
One of the best

>>10716093
Wild Turkey is known as sugar booze here. For the price I'd get Larceny. Very smooth high wheat bill.

Kill yourself.

This and WT101 are the best bang for buck. I wish they still made OGD114.
>>10707009
>Stay away from Jim Bean and Wild Turkey and you should be fine.
You wut? That would mean staying away from shit like Rare Breed and Bookers then which are two fantastic barrel proofers you homo.
>>10709034
Overpriced shit. Chichibu and Miyagikyo is way better then almost everything Nikka puts out.

sometimes you can have it all

>>10712874
No you fucking don't. The only worthwhile Pappies for MSRP are the 15 and Family Reserve Rye. Everything else there is massively overpriced for the quality. Weller is better bang for buck wheater anyways.

Never had

Unfortunately, the most expensive stuff is typically worth its price if you aren't trying to kill yourself with horrible alcohol the palette was never meant to palette, and you want something that can actually go down smooth with little burn and has actual taste. OP, start small, buy 50mL and 100mL bottles until you decide for yourself what's best. I'd recommend some cognac if you've never had it, almost any will do I wager - I''ve had Hennessy and some other brand I can't even remember.

>>10716591
The nicest-tasting straight liquor I've had so far was Grand Marnier, which is a cognac liqueur. Immediate thought: "Liquid sunshine"

>>10716566
You're welcome, also there's 2 rum threads up right now if you check the catalog
