A whiskey thread died for this

>>12293151
pls respond to the subject at hand

>>12293159
if you're settling for the cheap stuff, you're either drinking too much or poor. either way, it's probably best to cut back.

Canadian club, makes pretty good highballs. Makes just barely passing Manhattans. For $12 a handle I keep it in stock for when I want top get drunk and not use the better stuff.

>>12293146
evan williams

>>12293179

Second for Evan Williams. Its decent on the rocks.

Evan Williams BiB
Easily the best spirit available under $20, whiskey or otherwise.

>>12293146
Location matters for cheap, everything where I live is expensive so $30 whisky isnt even an option.

For me, it's Talisker 10

probably the best sleeper bourbon out there

>>12293146
not super cheap in America but J&B

a noticeable upgrade from JW Red

>>12293179
For me, it's Edubs when I'm poor and Wild Turkey 101 when I'm flush with cash. You can drink Edubs over ice and it's still good, I can't say the same for most things in it's price range.

>>12293179
This, obviously. $17 a handle, yet delicious neat. God bless America.

>>12293146
Surprisingly good

do i drink too much? I drink a liter of jameson a week.

>>12293179
this or jim beam, both are usually $11 a fifth.

>>12295120
>a liter a week
>approximately 3 shots a day
That's literally a drop in the ocean, anon. How could you possibly think that's a lot? I easily drink 3 times that amount before driving to work every day.

>>12293177
This. Canadian Club is dirt cheap and tastes better than most of the shit that costs 2-4x as much.

>>12293171
What if I'm both?

>>12293146
Clan McGregor

Bulleit.

>>12293171
My uncle drinks Jim Beam and coke exclusively. You give him something better, even commit blasphemy and get him an aged single malt that goes well with coke, and he'll tell you the Jim Beam is the one for him. There is a place for cheap whiskey.

>>12294740
For me it's $85 a bottle.

>>12295011
Double black is better.

>>12295096
That's in the price range of 10 year old single malts. Definitely mid priced. Drink Glenfiddich instead.

>>12295120
yes

>>12293179
>>12293228
>>12294542
This but the black label it's only a couple more bucks than the white label.

>>12293146
fuck you McNulty

>>12295133

Just because you drink more doesn't mean it's not bad lmao. Even a litre of spirits is 3x over the recommended weekly consumption.

Love this whisky

>>12295405
>That's in the price range of 10 year old single malts
Where I live it's around 30€ which is about 10€ cheaper than low range scotch like fiddich also taste better

Old grandad bottled and bonded 100

What do you gentlemen pay for a 750ml bottle of jack daniels? Here it's about 20$

>>12295600
35 after the tariffs last year

>>12294994
Tastes like banana bread which I don't like. But doesn't taste like 114 proof at all so that's neat

>>12295600
28€, I guess euros get fucked by imports

>>12295600
euro here, in my country it's 21€, 28€ for the 1liter bottle

>>12295600
$47 (33USD) for a 700ml bottle.

>>12295600
About 50USD

>>12295600
50 bucks. Fucking Utah, it's literally cheaper to drive to NV or Idaho to buy booze.

>Cheap whisky

Is there any other kind? And it's this, while you are asking.

For me it's Benchmark. $9/750ml where I live. Cheaper than Evan Williams and tastes a lot better.

Cheaper whisky is always better whisky.

>>12296165
To an extent...ever had this shit? It's vile.

>>12296187
I'd slurp that shit like a fucking milkshake, if we had that in my county.

>>12293146

Take the Grouse-Pill

>>12296226
Me wanty

>>12296233

where my /oldcrow/ niggas at?

>>12295133
yeah but i usually drink it all in a couple days
like i don't drink anything monday through thursday but on friday saturday sunday i slam that liter
idk, feels like a lot, but i can't tell if i'm just worried cause my dad is a PoS alcoholic

>>12296141
holy shit - when i go to Costco near me (minnesota) i can get a 1liter of johny black for 35$. And that's 12 years aged. fuck spending 50 on shitty jack

>>12296226
hands down the best

>>12294542

My guy. I love sipping on this stuff. The taste of the green apples in it is great. Smoke a maduro cigar with this stuff. It pairs great with this stuff.

>>12294740

I'm waiting to try this stuff. My step brother recommended it, but it's $71 in arizona at total wine and more

>>12294740
>got tempted by a tallisker dark storm in my last airport free shop escapade
>buy it, forget about it for a while
>tried it last night
>it tastes like fucking cinammon
I mean, it's interesting and all but I think I just made a terrible mistake

>>12296385
71 is steep but I'd recommend picking it up if it goes on sale for sure
>>12296411
Haven't had Dark Storm but that sounds like a shame. My next Talisker buy I was hoping to get the 18 year but would settle for whatever is available. I'll keep that in mind about Dark Storm though

Horrible cheap and effective
The left overs from Jim beam are used for this

>>12295036
>Edubs when I'm poor
>Wild Turkey 101 when I'm flush with cash
What kind of shithole do you live in where WT is a commodity? Both are within 5 dollars of each other where I live.

>>12293146
>Jameson
>Cheap

I don't think so
For me it's Bushmills. I don't like bourbon so I can't get much cheaper than Bushmills without it becoming totally undrinkable without mixing it

>>12297546
for me, cheap = under 20€. 1l Jameson is 17€ in my countreh

>>12297829
I'd call that cheap too
Unfortunately 1L of Jameson would be like over $35
Even .75 L of Bushmills is $23
Damn ridiculous

>>12296377
A 750ml bottle of 40% whiskey is 21 standard drinks. The recommended weekly maximum is 12.

>>12293146
name a better cheap whisky

you cannot

>>12298098
>all those memetic buzzwords, yet nowhere on the label does it state it is actually a whisky

>>12298108
It's on the shelf under Bells, it must be Whisky

>>12298084
A standard drink is 1.5 oz of 40% hard liquor. Your math is terribly wrong.

>>12298108
Between Reserve and Oak Aged it says Blended Scotch Whisky. It's jsut too bright to see in the pic because of the gold text.

I had to grab a bottle from beside my couch, but it definitely says Whisky on the front

>>12298111
Dan Murphy's keeps telling me to get fuck-eyed for fuck all with Fat Lamb, yet they put the swill on a cider shelf. It's sink tier flavoured remaindered wine (in a can / beer bottle).
Don't trust the shelves, no one is calling them out for this shit.

>>12298117
Standard drinks are not standardised. That's why I stated the number of standard drinks in a bottle. No math, I read it off a bottle.

>>12296141
Christ you aren't kidding, even if you're talking about the 1.75L. I lived in Utah for years and didn't even realize it was that expensive, granted I was drinking Canadian Myst and Burnett's vodka, which both averaged around $12 for a fifth. Utah was fine in other ways, but the Mormons fucking over liquor prices was intolerable

>>12298126
Yet your number of standard drinks is still wildly off.

Evan Williams BiB or Old Grandad BiB

>>12298134
a 1.75L of taaka was like $12 when I lived there, '10 to '14. beer was reasonable too, honestly it's a bit pricier here in CO, and when I was in WA liquor prices were absurd.

>>12298509
Statewide prices are nice I suppose, and I've heard about the horrorshow that is WA liquor pricing. Guess I've just been spoiled living in the Midwest where I can get a fifth of Buffalo Trace for under $15 on special.

>>12296226
this

>>12294542
just bought this, was $15/750ml. Really smooth with a nice flavor, thanks anon

Samuel Grant Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey $7.99 at Vons. Actually decent to drink. I would say on par with EW black in quality Great for mixing.

>>12298137
The recommended number of drinks is also not standard. I'm not doing any math. None. Nothing is off.

I once had a local whisky in Senegal, im not sure what it was called. It was by far the worst whisky i've ever tasted. It smelled are tasted comparable to pure fucking turpentine. It was still better than the rum though, which was in a home recycled bottle and had "local rum" written on it with a marker. Im pretty sure that was just some kind of moonshine that a resort employee made. I still have eyesight btw.

Back to the point, i usually end up buying either jameson of four roses as my go to cheap whiskies. They happen to be very cheap where i live, and i like them (can both be sipped or used to mix). Generally a bigger fan a Scottish whiskies, but i havent found a really cheap one yet, so i just treat my single malts as occasional sipping whiskies while i use jameson and four roses as my getting drunk whiskies. If anyone can recommend a very cheap scotch then its very welcome. I did recently bought a discount bottle of JW black label for 20 euros. Was a pretty good value, honestly a decent whisky for a relatively cheap blend. I enjoyed it more than i expected after all the JW/blend hate i read on the internet.

>>12301294

it's been a long time since I've had JW black but I remember it being good for its value. JW red is total thrash though

>>12293146
Johnny Walker Second Harvest Blue Label OH YEAH!!!!!!!

>>12293146
You already posted it. I also liked Famous Grouse but after one too many bad experiences I can't stomach the stuff

kentuckyfag here voting for old crow

>>12298118
It says Blended Scotch Whisky on the cap too. That is the Tesco one isn't it ? Morrisons do a aged 3 year old blend also (pic related) not a 1L strangely similar label, I wonder if there is a difference. I'm not a snob i'd probably drink/try both, but I'm willing too gamble they are both fairly sweet speyside stuff.

Out of the way glass bottle faggots

>>12298118

nah, think you're getting confused with Fireball

>>12293146

Wild Turkey 101. It's a very acceptable bourbon for the price, my daily drinker.

>>12303011
$30 for a 1.75L and its 101 proof not bad at all

j&b and it's not even close.

For a decent bottle I like Laphroaig

My super expensive splurge bottle is Midleton Irish Whiskey, best liquor I've ever had in my life.

for me it's the 101

>>12303137
Been a while since I had j&b
Laphroaig though, that's the good shit

>>12301321
ghost pls go

>>12293146
Grants

>>12295600
about $30 usd not too much really but I'd still rather drink other stuff

>>12300273
No, you shitheel, he is saying your math IS WRONG.

A standard drink is 1.5 oz, each 40% bottle of hard liquor is 750ml, so 750 ml equates to roughly 25.3 oz, and 25.3/1.5 equals 16.9 STANDARD SHOTS, rounded up to 17. Your quote of 21 is, as stated, wrong.

>>12295133
man i fucking miss al/ck/ threads, 40oz bottle lasts me 2 days, dont even get hangovers. Fuck mods.

>>12296358
$9 for a liter here, my go to when I'm broke

>>12295447
My buddy loves this stuff. Tastes too much like Jack for me to like, but it hits the spot.
>>12295506
That's my go-to. Or hell, the cheaper standard.

>>12303094
that costs 50 here

>>12296226
got some today, also some jameson
hope it's good

>>12302803
Your daily reminder that 'pus' is also a natural flavor.

>>12305983
I prefer this bad boy

lots of mentions for old crow here but is jim beam any good? I live in middle of nowhere in yurop where bourbon selection is quite limited. Usually I buy jack daniels but in another near shop they sell jim beam which is a lot cheaper. thoughts?

Jameson is a decent call OP. Always liked it

>>12305538
What if I like the taste of pus??

>>12304430
A standard drink is 10g of alcohol, 30 mL of spirits (40% alc. vol) = 1 US fluid ounce

>>12300273
>The recommended number of drinks is not standard
>I'm not doing any math

>>12298126
>Standard drinks are not standardised

TL;DR you're actually retarded

>>12302838
it has a definitive spicyness to it that I don't like
it might be desirable to some people, but it's really not my cup of tea

>>12302811
the reserve version isn't actually that bad

Because this is an al/ck/ thread I guess it's semi-related, but how do you people deal with post-blackout anxiety (apart from drinking, of course)? I seriously feel like I can't breathe and the taste of any alcohol right now would make me puke bile.

Gentlemen, these are all fine whiskys you have, me personally, I'm enjoying Suntory Toki, Toki means time in Japanese, and it's saving me time and money.

>>12306244
I suggest coming to America and bringing home a few bottles of much better bourbon instead

>>12306428

Damn we actually get this cheaper in the UK

>>12293146
grants is usually on offer for £12

>>12293146
Grant's. Really fucking cheap, mediocre but nothing bad about it, goes well with every soda.

I've been drinking straight liquor (usually whiskey or gun) or mixed with Sprite Zero daily for months now without break, pretty much compulsively, probably around 10 drinks or so per night, sometimes before work also
Usually it's Seagrams 7, occasionally Jameson and for gin New Amsterdam or other cheap stuff.
I decided to mix it up and get some rum and got pic related for the first time in a couple years, it was on clearance at the liquor site for $14.99 a handle
Last night I made a dri k with it and it tasted so bad that I poured it out and rather than switcg to gin I simply went to bed sober.
So there you have it, liquor so bad it made an alkie turn it down christ it tasted awful, what was I thinking

>>12306734
what do you mean by post-blackout anxiety?
that term brings to mind the embarrassing things a person does after they're blackout drunk, but the rest of your post makes it sound like you're talking about a hangover.

>>12307319
the horror

>>12307353
Most white rum is terrible, coconut rum even more so.
I'd rather go sober than to drink that shit yeah.

>>12307402
That stuff isn't coconut, it's just regular white rum 80 proof. I used to get it years ago to make mixed drinks with juice but I only drink zero calorie mixers or none at all these days, and let me tell ya it ain't the same as with cranberry juice

>>12307353
Holy shit just reread my post, probably the most typos I've ever had. And I'm stone sober rn, goddamn it I suck

>>12307418
I know that isn't coconut, just that I absoluetly abhor the stuff.
For 0 calorie mixers I nonironically like ultra zero but if you have a problem with energy drinks then definitely stay away.

>>12307433
I do mix with energy drinks but only in the day or early evening. Also those things ain't cheap they add up, cheaper to get a 2 liter of Sprite or Coke Zero for the everyday paycheck to paycheck alkie

I don't drink cheap whisky, by my cheap booze of choice is good ol Jinro24 soju

Nowhere in the world does anybody consider 30mL standard.

>>12307911
been enjoying sochu recently as well

smooth and cheap

none

>>12307600
>>12308868
If I don't want to risk heavy metal poisoning, but I do want to try sochu, what brands do you recommend?

>>12308923
heavy metal poisoning? soju is Korean and sochu is Japanese. any brand is safe.

Baijiu is the Chinese stuff you should be wary of.

>>12308941
Okay, baiju is right out; sochu might make me glow in the dark; and soju probaly won't. Throw me a bone and name a brand, anon.

>>12309004
jinro is pretty standard for soju. jinro24 is classic but their chamisul bottles tend to be sweeter imo. either are pretty cheap and available at your local asian grocery.

I'm currently enjoying ginza no suzume which is a barley sochu. about 15 bux and a bit harsher than the Korean stuff but much smoother than moresovodka. I've had a few other types but the names weren't memorable. you'll find that stuff in Japanese groceries than generic asian ones. if you don't like it try varieties made from sweet potato or buckwheat.

whatever you end up trying have fun!

>>12309060
I'll look next time I'm out. Cheers mate.

>>12293146
>cheap
Jameson is my celebration drink, "5 star whiskey" is my go to and it's $10 a bottle.

Grow up you fucking hipsters

>>12305338
this is my stop, sir

This is the poverty thread to reach all welfare cheques.

Top Booze: I've had two bottles of 1999 Lagavulins Distillers. After that, Ardbeg 10, Talisker, Bowmore, Achtunwhatever, and whatever you do never admit to liking Macallan. That shit is a brandy.

You guys realize that if it isn't an Islay or Jura or real scotch whiskey, you're all just describing a version of Canadian Club, right? Rye, Corn, it's all a fucking morass of depression and child beating.

>>12309186
go twirl your curly mustache elsewhere retard. real men are drinking here

Kek. Wait for Brexit to kick in. You idiots actually looked at Trump and said, "yeah, that seems like a good idea". JB is the cheapest bottle of bourbon I keep around, but it's going to cost you a fortune pretty soon (and that's both a good and a bad thing).

>>12309218
I drink rye and bourbon, and while my children sure as FUCK deserve a beating now and then... I don't hit them.

good scotch is a treat too, but fuck the prices...

>>12296226
This has Macallan and Highland Park blended into it right? This alone is a good enough reason to get it as a cheap whisky

Most posts are like $30-50 where I'm at, so I wouldn't consider those cheap. They're more like mid-grade. For me cheap is <$20, and at those prices it'd be hard to go wrong with some EW 1783. It's about $15 here. Not complex, but very easy to drink.

>>12309303

Crown royal vs crown royal harvest rye vs wild Turkey?

Best one to sip straight or with ice?

>>12310714
regular Crown if you want simple and smooth, Wild turkey 101 if you want some bite and spice, caramel. I prefer WT101 but if you're thinking about CR on ice the 101 might be a little to much for you. I've heard Woodford Reserve is a good Bourbon as a next stepping stone into more complex whiskeys while still being non offensive to new whiskey drinkers that aren't ready for all the intense flavors and bite that whiskeys like WT101 and knob creek have.

>>12310509
you are a fucking idiot.

>>12309453

Yes, along with other stuff blended in. But I'm guessing they are more secret

>>12296358
Here unfortunately

>>12302803
cheap canadian whiskey is the worst shit imaginable besides drinking mouthwash or rubbing alcohol, it's so revolting you really must hate yourself if you drink that crap.

Id laugh if shitty rum is the reason you quit alcohol cold turkey

ive only ever drunk jameson and my go to beers are heinekens, pilseners or ciders

what should I go for? might get a 35cl from tescos for myself

been out drinking several nights a week for the past few weeks with work mates now and pretty antisocial and not very talkative most of the time but alcohol would help me out

now ive been out so often i have this alienation where it's like after the 3rd or 4th pint i have more anxiety then usual what the fuck went wrong, last night i just ghosted my friend who asked me to find him and then got me a drink i just walked away with a half pint and went home

>>12311973
britfag here, how cheap is cheap for you?

>>12312057
i wouldnt want to spend more than 20 but thats just me

>>12311973

Go for Glenfiddich 12, £12 for 35cl for a quality whisky

OUTTA MY WAY PLEBS!

>>12312367
wtf is a 35cl? is that lika a 1/16 of a gal?

WILD TURKEY 101

Cannot be beaten for its price. Delectable to drink on the rocks, much more enjoyable than countless more expensive whiskeys.

$22/750mL where I live.

>>12313145
my go to desu

>>12313145
who only buys a 750ml of wild turkey? its like $28-32 for a handle which allows you to properly enjoy the flavor

canadian club all the way

>>12313232
stop..just stop

>>12313211
I don't buy more alcohol than I logically should drink over the course of a couple months because uhh, reasons.

>>12313250
>a single handle
>over a couple of months

>>12313232
Canadian Club is truly the best cheap whiskey. I feel like a lot of the posters ITT have a very wierd definition of what cheap is. I could buy a 750 of most of the whiskeys I'm seeing posted for the same price (or more) as a handle of CC. That's not even taking in to account the fact that most of them would taste worse as well.

>>12313234
no u

>>12313250
>only one handle over a couple months
Wondering if I have a drinking problem if I can finish a handle in just over a week

>>12313250
i bought a handle on Friday and im concerned that the bank doesn't open till Monday. wat do?

>>12313510
>wat do?

start drinking 1.5oz with a big ice cube. listen to rain on tin roof sounds and piano jazz. leave it at that and go to bed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jWRrafhO7M

>>12313500
no handle a day is a real problem. handle every two and a half days is is a sign its time to slow down. handle a week of 40% is just normal heavy drinking but you can still quit cold turkey without any real consequence if you're not a coward

>>12313500
yeah, you got a drinking problem alright. You aint drinking enough.

>>12313537
>handle every two and a half days is is a sign its time to slow down.

>>12313826
good job on your superior self control

>>12295120
I mean that’s up to you. In college I would drink about that much, and then I got into the work place and cut back. But you gotta look at it like this, if your brain is telling you that you might have a problem, you should cut back. If you have to ask your self if you drink too much, you already think you do.

>>12296377
That actually sounds kinda standard depending on your age. But it sounds like you already think you need to cut back so you should try it out and see how you feel.

>>12312451
absolute based

>>12311935
I think both naked and famous grouse have them in the mix

>>12314500
i'm lead to believe that famous grouse is just glenturret, with grain whisky filling out the rest. wouldn't do macallan's rep any good if it was found to be in bottom shelf blended whisky.

Lol, impeccable taste anon. 10/10 waifu

>>12315337
not that guy but most of the Canadian whisky we get is absolute fucking garbage mixers, like cc and fireball.

that said there are also amazing whiskies that never actually make it here. Which is sad since more exposure would go a long way in dispelling that stereotype.

>>12306734
Milk, gatorade, a cigarette, coffee with sugar and a lot of milk, a wet cloth, a fap, or a nightmask.
Some combination of these, plus a few hours, and I'm past it. Rarely do I start drinking right away.

>>12316174

Drinking milk if you're feeling sick is a very very bad idea unless you want to risk spewing up cheese curds

it’s under $20 here in NH

>>12316372
The fat content always helps me nurse a hangover. Might not work for others, but it does for me.
The only thing that's ever made my stomach worse the morning after a hard night of drinking is extremely acidic black coffee, and that's only if I'm still drunk.

bump for booze
c'mon you fucken drunks

>>12302811
There it is

>>12316718
Canadian Club is $11 a handle(in NH) and vastly superior unless you have a sweet tooth for bourbon

>>12317702
>Canadian Club
sorry bro, it makes me gag
>sweet tooth for bourbon
lol maybe i do.
i like to drink whiskey without ice or mixers

>>12317721
no judgement here, Just trying to save you a few bucks.

>>12317739
chantards in Manchester??

>>12316061
Are you the guy from the other thread who chased Jameson or some shit with milk and spewed all over the place later on that night?

>>12318074
no. manch is worchester lite with fewer passing trannies

>>12317721
I drink both canadian club and bourbon straight out of the bottle. I won't say I like one more than the other, but I sure do like the price of CC a lot more.

>>12318177
i haven’t worked for almost a year now, but i think i’d just quit drinking if CC was all i had to look forward to
tbhfam i have to find a job soon

>>12314539
I looked at my bottle of Famous Grouse 12 and confirmed it has it. I think Famous Grouse NAS might be the glenturret

>>12319835
sounds about right.

for me, it's Virginia Gentlemen
the finest of cheap bourbon whiskeys

>>12293146
Define "cheap".
The Jameson lines definitely falls under my definition, but i would define even the slightly pricier caskmates as a good cheap whiskey.

Usually my middle ground is Talisker, which is not as cheap admittedly, but i consider a bargain for what you get.

>>12320051

Everyone has a different definition of cheap, but I'd say it's "cheap" for someone who knows about whiskey and common price ranges. So I'd say between £15-£25 would fall under that.

Tomatin 12 is pretty fucking cheap as far as scotch goes, and a really nice Sherry one at that.

>>12307048
Grants is guuud with soda water.

Glenfiddich is at a good price point in a lot of UK supermarkets.

Black Velvet
$16 for half a gallon. Used to be $13 but they raised the price. It was a very sad day.

I genuinely enjoy Jameson. Here's a story about when I first tried jack, though.

>Be 18 at time, on a trip to Quebec
>18 is the drinking age there so I went to a bar
>Get a beer, all going well, decided to try a scotch
>I'm in a booth not at the actual bar, server goes to get it
>Comes back with a shot, tells me they don't have any scotch but this is the best they have
>"wow this is shit"
>It's jack daniels

And that's when I realized this was a cheap bar

Is Jack Daniel's just a meme whiskey, or does it have some good qualities?

>>12295600
>What do you gentlemen pay for a 750ml bottle of jack daniels? Here it's about 20$
That's what it costs at my local Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. At Sam's Club, the 1.75 L bottle is $37.43 after tax (bought one a few days ago).

>>12321759
Its an easy way to spot a college student or otherwise retarded palettelet

>>12293146
Not Jameson because it's expensive as fuck here for something of that quality, unfortunately

>>12293177
agreed

>>12321830
So, it's basically the Budweiser of hard liquor?

>>12321759

Gotta say it has top tier branding, very nice looking bottle

>>12310509
They Live!

>>12295447
Here the Black is cheaper than the Bottle in Bond? It's Kentucky so that might be why.

>>12322045
Black is cheaper here in Commiefornia as well, but only by $2. Really makes the choice to go white label all the more clearer.

>>12306244
>is jim beam any good
When I first tried it, it tasted unusually smooth for the price, almost like a sake. I found out later that the Jim Beam Distillery is now owned by a Japanese company. Who knew?

>>12321903
Pretty much

>>12321922
Laphroiag has the most aesthetic label imo
>inb4 reddit whisky

>>12321759
The only saving grace is that the flavour is unique to a point. It's overpriced compared to other cheaper and much better whiskies. It's good to cook with though and that's about it

>>12294740
>Ah, you were at my side all along

>>12293171
Unlike 99.9% of you whiskey fags, I've had two different types of home-made corn whiskey, irish whiskey in ireland, and scotch in scotchland.

There is a place ofr cheap whiskey.

People who claim to need high-priced whiskey are usually very inexperienced in the matter.

>>12294542
so fucking good. just finished a bottle two days ago. can't be beat for the price. one of the few bourbons i genuinely always enjoy neat

>>12318089
No, pretty sure if that happened to me I wouldn't be trying it again.

>>12294542
came to post this

scotchco

>>12321759
it's really not bad
as the other anon said it's good to cook with
the problem is that the price is too high but, that's the brand they built
I don't hesitate to grab a handle if I see it on sale

>>12293146
evan williams bottled in bond. 50%abv, bottled under (((US Gov't Supervision))). $25 for a handle. typically lasts me a week but my tolerance is going up.

>>12323950
haha I just drank a bottle of this swill
the sun is coming up

nowhere near as good as their higher end stuff, but at less than 20$ a bottle, amazing

>>12323995
Man you're getting raped. 11.99 on sale in good ole NH liquor store. Good stuff though.

>>12295213
They cancel out. You should double down on cheap whiskey

>>12323576
Not who you were relying to, but If there was a cheap whisky that had the taste of ardbeg or lagavulin for example id get it in a heartbeat though. I hate the dickwaving of who has the most expensive bottle myself.

>>12293177
CC neat

>>12295096
Fucking proddy garbage

>>12325375
get fucked paddy. muh irish saviour memegregor's irish whiskey contains bushmills. also john jameson was scottish.
>the city of ireland

>>12293146
I like Jameson's with Iced Tea, or when I'm feeling REALLY cheap pic related with root beer is a decent alternative.

>>12293171
Joke's on you: I'm drinking too much *and* I'm poor.

Guiness was started by unionists too

isn't benchmark in the buffalo trace family? I've heard it's really good for the price

>>12305545
>he doesn't know internet bourbon prices are insanely inflated

>>12316061
My buddy had an old grandpa in his 90s that mixed bourbon with warm milk because of his ulcers, sounds really disgusting.

>>12325871
>tfw look up a new whisky online before I go to a store and buy it

Kill me

>>12325508
>I like Jameson's with Iced Tea
sweet or unsweet? might try it, ive always had a soft spot for jameson and ginger ale.

>>12326499
I use sweet, Jameson's has a natural sweetness to it so you can mix it to dangerous levels (50/50) and barely notice.

>>12293146
Chivas Regal 12 year isn’t very expensive and mixes really well

>>12326717
Based and hunter s. thompsonpilled

>>12326717
>Mixes
To the trash with you, plebeian.

>>12326722
Yeah, Hunter S Thompson’s favorite used to be Wild Turkey and then at some point as he got older decided it tasted like gasoline and then he started drinking Chivas Regal

>>12295600
About $28 in New York because we have bullshit insane taxes, it's over $10 less in Arizona for instance.

>>12325906
That sounds like some kind of improvised egg nog.

>>12295600
>What do you gentlemen pay for a 750ml bottle of jack daniels? Here it's about 20$
Florida: $19.99
For the same price, I also saw a set containing a fifth and two lowball glasses.

>>12313055
350ml or half a bottle.
I wish we had miniatures here, I'd try all the things.

>>12326942
oh boy evan williams ranch dressing

>>12302811

Me and my roommates drank waaayyyy to much of this in college. Something about the color still gets me.
