Whisky consissorors don't use "shot glasses". THEY lack the olfactory component. Shot glasses are for hedonist party scum.

>>12444052
I find that the “stories” behind most liquors contain so many bullshit embellishments that I no longer pay attention to any of them. Their primary goal is to move more of their product, not provide a factual historical account of how they really came to be

especially these days with bourbon. half of that shit is distilled by MGP in Indiana and then aged/bottled somewhere in Kentucky. voila, Kentucky bourbon! we swear! there's a horse on the bottle!

the export market is so huge that all these start-up brands are jumping in on the market

>>12444095

Much better bourbon coming through, at least they still have an age statement.

I’ve floated through the whiskies but every time I come back to Wild Turkey 101. Can’t really put my finger on it but as a guy who exclusively drinks whiskey sours it’s the bees knees. I’m on 9 acres and I love drinking this nasty sour shit, it’s the sweet spot of tasty and poison. I’ve got my chickens out right now and will be closing the coop soon and damn I love life. Some guy in a train conductor hat talked me into buying some bottom shelf Canadian shit at the Rushville Indiana Kroger and that turned out alright too.

>>12444243
I’m >>12444509 and this shit did not taste good as a sour. Now I admit there may be some brain damage causing me to exclusively like whiskey sours but no thanks. Not as bad as Texas rose though that was overpriced gasoline

Stop being a fucking soi and follow your dna dude. Tending to a farm is in our blood and has been for hundreds of thousands of years.

I just buy crown and put it in the freezer and have a glass every once in a while. Not too cheap, not to expensive, goes down smooth.

>>12444710
But the idea is to savor and enjoy the flavor right? I’m not knocking you or anything but when you freeze liquor it to eliminate the taste.

>>12444797
Drinking for flavor has always been a lie

>>12444509
If it's sour you like, i have found dickel 12 to be have a very nice sour taste to it.

Picked this up on sale for $20. My first rye, but i'm really digging it. For whatever reason it tastes 10x better after it sits in a glass for about 15 minutes

For me, it's anything but Talisker 10, which tastes like baby diarrhea.

>>12445072

>>12445073

Try the Distiller's Edition.
Only Talisker I've ever had, and that bitch gave me religion.

>>12444052
>1. is Ice truly a no-no? I mean people have been drinking on the rocks since the beginning of time. Why is it a no-no?
One or two rocks is a perfectly fine way to drink whiskey, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Adding ice will actually intensify many of the stronger tastes for the first few sips. That way you get to appreciate the flavors in full at first, and then they mellow out as you finish it. Also how can you argue with a nice cold beverage? It's simply more satisfying that way.

>>12444052
>>12445073
For me, it's Talisker 10

>>12444052
Most brands and their history is bullshit that's made up to sound deep and fascinating, even more prominent in the US with big name brands pretending to be some frontier bourbon preserved through prohibition blablabla.

Only good way to drink is neat and maybe a few drips of water after you're half way in to see how the flavour changes. Anyone who says they need to drink with ice because it's hot, get fucking ice water instead. I just own a bunch of glencairns and a few tumblers

>>12444509
>muh exclusively drink whiskey sours
Mixed drink faggots without a pallete can go straight to hell.

>>12444052
you might think your interest in the history of whiskey's makes you sophisticated and interesting, when really people think you're a boring tryhard pseud with your head up your ass

youre welcome.

>>12445239
same goes for everyone in this thread being pretentious about drinking, nobody cares, nobody is impressed, you sound like twats.

I. Anyone here love buying a whiskey and learning its history? Each brand has its own unique history on how it came to be.

II. What is your method of drinking?

1. is Ice truly a no-no? I mean people have been drinking on the rocks since the beginning of time. Why is it a no-no?

2. with a little bit of water?

3. straight up.

III. What cool shot glass do guys own?

I don't really care about that shit. A lot of the time it is just marketing.

I guess I think it's interesting to know how it's made, that the Irish invented whiskey from seeing arabs distilling alcohol for medical reasons, stuff like that.

One important aspect of the history is that extended aging wasn't a historical thing with whiskey until the 1960s. So it's important to keep stuff like that in mind so that you don't get carried away with the pretension.

>>12446236
that being said, I like well-done non-trashy whiskey. My all time favorite brand is probably Redbreast. Haven't tried a lot of scotch because I prefer lighter whiskeys, but I enjoyed Glendronach and Bunnahabhain a lot. I prefer rye to bourbon but I think a lot of american whiskey seems like marketing b.s.

>>12446251

>Most American whiskey is marketing bs
It's been a while since I've said someone is absolutely spot on about everything they said

Numales ruined beer and now they are ruining whiskey. Virtually everything is a MGP derivative; including “good” Canadian whiskey which is why I can instantly tell that anyone recommending Canadian whiskey is a complete retard. Even the more prominent domestic brands are MGP derived (willett is a good example, but they pull it off well). Irish and Japanese whiskey are both shit too.

Anything from rittenhouse, willett, and buffalo trace will give you 99.5% of the quality whiskey experience. Anything else is just numale consumerist pandering for people
who don’t know their left from
right but want to “get into whiskey”

>>12447064
Anyone who knows anything about Canadian whisky knows that they dont export the good stuff. Japanese whisky is overrated as fuck, it just tastes like a half decent highland scotch with nothing else notable. It's pretty much testament to how the Japanese are, copy from someone and then get famous being really really good at copying the same thing without any changes at all. You're dead wrong about Irish whiskey though.

Rittenhouse is absolutely amazing especially for the price and so is Buffalo Trace. And looking at pic makes me wanna get another bottle of Stagg

>>12447064
not a fan of knob creek? or wild turkey

>>12444163
How many of you prententious faggots actually use a glencairne glass?

>>12446236
>One important aspect of the history is that extended aging wasn't a historical thing with whiskey until the 1960s. So it's important to keep stuff like that in mind so that you don't get carried away with the pretension
Wasn't it pretty much common knowledge "back in the day" that the upper limit for whisky before aging it starts to have more negatives than positives is about 21 years in the barrel? I'm sure I've read that somewhere.

>>12447064
japanese whisky is good it's just meme'd to multiple times the price it should be sold at

if you could get yamazaki 12 for $40 it would be respectable but instead people somehow think it's worth fucking $120

sake has the same problem, it's good stuff but all of it is at least double the price it should be sold at because people will buy it anyways

>>12444052
So what's the consensus with e150a? And non-chill filtration for that matter.
Is this stuff a legit concern for anyone here or is it really just a meme propagated by a few niche ranting fags online? From what I can see seemingly 99% of whisky out there has both the colorant and the filtration.
Does anyone here specifically search stuff that doesn't have one or both of these things?

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you're not allowed to add stuff to bourbon, and have been a little dismayed that not only is the colorant allowed in cognac, but extra sugar as well (?) apparently.

>>12448381

Elijah Craig was one of the most vile bourbons I've ever tried. I do not know if maybe it was a bad batch or what, but the aftertaste was that of body odor. Absolutely horrendous, and really puts me off buying another bottle.

If I were to go to someone’s house to drink and they pulled out their glencarin glass, I would beat them up and rob them just for being so gay.

i just drink jack or jameson like a pleb because it tastes good

>>12448449
For what I've read about distilleries for the most part is that chill filtration is required when you ship off tons of stuff for blends. All I've seen about chill filtering is that it removes some of the flavour and prevents it going cloudy under some circumstances. As for added colouring, it seems weird especially when it's been aged for so long in barrels that you question why they would even colour it at all, except maybe to keep the colour consistent across mass shipped bottles?

Truthfully I don't care too much, my favourite scotches include non chill filtered and no added colouring along with some that have both and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

>>12448381
I do because they're sexy

>>12448564
It's a possibility. That doesn't mean I should tarnish my body with a casual liason. The undesired die alone, the coupled prolong their genes. That is the way it should be.

>>12448381
I got two for free when I bought an expensive bottle once. They look pretty nice.

>Whiskey connoisseur
>Posts bourbon
Bourbon isn't for drinking neat. There just isn't enough variation in bourbon. Laws are too restrictive for that. It's great neat but it's really much much better in cocktails.
Scotch is for drinking neat and there is nothing wrong with trying how some water or ice changes the flavour.

>>12448449
Colouring doesn't add any flavour nor is it unnatural chemicals. It's just tiny amounts of carameled sugar. What it does is mask that the barrel aging didn't give enough colour. Bourbon doesn't have this problem because bourbon is always made in freshly built casks so it always gets a lot of colour. Scotch is different because it is always aged in casks that have been in use before either in bourbon or various kinds of wine. There are no laws restricting how many times you can reuse a barrel when making scotch so the really cheap stuff is made in completely used up barrels that give barely any colour or flavour.

Cheap cognac is a complete racket but good cognac is nectar from the gods.

>>12448882
You can definitely taste the coloring in some of the cheaper stuff

>>12448894
no you can't. All you taste in the cheap stuff is alcohol. The colouing is just one or two drops of carameled sugar.

>>12448882
>Cheap cognac is a complete racket but good cognac is nectar from the gods.
I know that this is a whisky thread, but, don't even the most expensive kinds of cognac have all these additives? I mean extra sugar "for taste"?
I've always been curious about Martell's Cordon Bleu after I had to buy a bottle for a gift for someone.
A bit put off at the idea that the flavor for this stuff apparently isn't enough and that extra sweet is required or some shit.

>>12448381
This magnificent bastard.

What's a rocks glass? A tumbler? That's a good glass. Suitable for anything. Minmax as fuck.

>>12444052
what's a good cask strength that tastes like orange peels?

I tried Aberlour, it was ok but a lil too sweet.

What about Glenfarclas 105 full proof?

>>12444095

>>12444866
If you're not drinking for flavor, then paying a premium price for something like Crown Royal is retarded. Just buy some Karkov vodka and chuck it in the freezer and take shots of that.

>>12449767

If you don't entertain them they might go away.

Even if you're gonna be a pretentious pile of sticks about it.
1, preferably big ice cube or several small ones for cooling and controlled dilution.
2. A couple drops of water works well with smokey and oily whiskeys
3. No shot glasses, only tulip glasses for optimal smelling or a very big rocks glass that can fit a large cube of ice so you can wrap your manly mittens around your sexy drink.

>>12444052
I. yes, an interesting story adds character to the whiskey
II. neat, no ice
1. Ice is a meme for weak wristed men to rationalize watering down a strong drink
2.no
3. yes
III I use a plain scotch glass I bought from my University book store for 10 bucks when I graduated

Why do people have to learn everything by trial and error? What is wrong with receiving instruction from more experienced people?

>>12444052
I. I do. I love going to Southeast Asia to find new, exotic varieties.

II. Ice is wrong. Water is wrong. Straight up out of the bottle is best.

III. I drink out of the bottle. Shot glasses are for pussies.

>>12450043
Say that to my facefucker, not online, and see what comes about...

Big ice cubes, tumbler glass, cask proof (preferably on the high end) is my favorite way to enjoy whisky

>>12449726
pls aswner

>>12450705
because there is no right way to do things, but what other poster was saying is don't for your opinion, if somebody asks well then thats a different thing

>>12450937
There is a right way to drink whiskey, though: neat, out of a Glencairn, slowly, with small sips, rolling it around on the tongue.

>>12444052
And it all tastes like shit.

>>12450988
meh i fine a small mouth mason jar works just as good, also some whiskeys need water to open them up

>>12444052

If they never miss, how could they be "hit or miss"? That missile graffiti makes no sense.

>>12451417
Actually, shit is in an instinctive taste. Babies love playing in and eating poo. Our aversion to it is learnt culturally, as our mother punishes us when we pick it up.

>>12444095
well done.

>>12451438
you got a boyfriend

>>12444052
I. Yeah I find it fairly interesting.
II. Neat, or with a tiny bit of filtered water if it needs it.
1. The issue with ice is that it A) dilutes your whiskey A LOT. Generally it only needs a few drops of water, if any, not an ice cube's worth; and B) chilling your whiskey that much heavily stifles the flavor and aroma. It will make it more 'smooth' due to less perceived alcohol, but it'll mute the flavor a lot too. It's fine, people should drink however they enjoy it, but if you're paying the money for nice whiskey I don't know why you'd intentionally taste it less.

III. I only own super cheap shot glasses, and they're not for whiskey. I have glencairns for that.

>>12444243
I just tried Bulleit and Maker's Mark in the past couple months and I didn't like either. Maybe I'm just not a bourbon person. I picked up a bottle of Tullamore Dew earlier this week though and drank half the bottle in a night and got smashed.

>>12452833
