Drinking this rn

>>17010866
Based and checked. Was thinking of you earlier from the last thread. Hope you're enjoying.

why is brandy so underrated?

Soon-to-be uncle-in-law is gonna bring over some nice whiskeys for me to try for the survivor finale in a few weeks
I don't know anything about whiskey.
I just hope my body is over its whiskey phobia. Last time I seriously drank it I vomited all over.

>>17011362

>>17010799
This is my first time on this board, I came to ask for advice on scotch. I’m 22 and have never really been exposed to scotch. I’m wondering if picrel is a good option for a beginner scotch to try and acquire the taste. Thoughts?

>>17011441
pour it into coke and check back with us

>>17010799
Is it worth is buying single malt if I cannot stand blended whiskey? My family always buys the cheaper stuff and I can barely hold it down. It tastes like cologne smells.

Does anyone else know that feeling where those around you think you're drunk but you haven't touched any alcohol for weeks?

>haven't touched any alcohol for weeks?
whenever i go more than 3 days without drinking i make sure everyone knows. so no

alcohol is for depressed losers

why didnt you faggots tell me wee beastie was this good
it's not as tasty as corryvreckan, but for half the price, it doesnt need to be

I have gotten sick exclusively from things like Makers Mark, Bulleit, Black Label. I really want to enjoy all types of alcohol, is the type of Whisky fucking with me or should I just avoid barrel-spirits altogether?

For me it's

>>17011441
>put it in ur cocke
def, but also try with big blocks of ice alone at least once, anyways, something very good even for beginners is johnny wlaker black label

>>17011362
Can't stand the stuff. Sickeningly sweet

>>17010866
That bottle better not have crossed state lines

Sipping on some Isle of Skye. Pretty decent, deluded with some water and drinking after a fuggin' jar like a redneck. Feels good bros.

>>17010866
Unbelievably based

>>17011431
I thought Hennessy was cognac?

>>17012112
Cognac is just brandy with its nose in the air.

>>17012283
I thought that brandy was a variation of cognac not the other way around?

It's Viaka and store brand cranberry juice again tonight lads.

>>17012112
>>17012288
Cognac is brandy made in a specific part of France

>>17012293
brandychads... We just keep on winning

What we drinkin on this festive night lads? Just made myself a jack and coke that was more jack than coke.

>>17010799
I like makers mark.

>>17012382
I just found out that fouled up paperwork means that still more months will pass before the Court appoints me as my aunt's executor, so it's cheap and harsh Rye for me tonight.

In Manhattan for Anime NYC this weekend, grabbed some of picrel to sip on in my room for tonight after someone in the last whiskey thread highly tecommended this for bourbon enjoyers.

Im drunk, I lovw the taste of sake, but I hate being drunk, fuck the buzz

>>17012382
I'm drunk for the first time ever

>>17012695
The buzz is the bets part anon, that's how you know it's working

Any anons try Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey? Any good?

>>17010866
Bought this today and drinking it. It taste like Elijah Craig (Heaven Hill) with less spice and more floral notes. I read reviews on this and generally, it wasnt rated too high but being a Bottled In Bond, you can taste that the quality is there.

>Kyle better get some dividends from these sales

>>17011365
Do you want suggestions? Help? What to look for? What whiskeys is he bringing over?

Hopefully he brings over some Chad barrel proofs and you can sip on that shit neat.

>>17012992
I have no clue I was just bored and felt like posting
I don't know what those terms you just used mean but I'll look em up now.
I guess is there anything I can do to make myself not vomit? I'm worried my body is still scared of it.

>>17012889
if you want a whiskey with a peanuty flavor, try Old Granddad.
Probably less offensive to as companies that bastardize and make meme whiskey
>Fuck you fireball

>>17013009
I was the same way with rum when i was 21 and tried too much bacardi with weed at a party. Time will cure those wounds but try not to drink shit that has the same flavor profile as the stuff that made you barf.
Hopefully you got sick off of johnnie walker or jack daniels because most other whiskeys dont taste like that

>>17010866
Good shit, this and Dickel Rye trade favorably with bottles 150% their price. I alternate between the two as my daily drinkers.

>>17012382
I drank some Rittenhouse Rye to celebrate, but also some Ardbeg Wee Beastie and Ardbeg 10 year.

>>17013012
Grand Dad is gold, but for maxium peanut flavor without actually having flavoring added its gotta be Old Tub. Its "The Beam Note" turned up to 11.

>>17013765
>but also some Ardbeg Wee Beastie

>>17010799
>prohibition edition

scotland never had prohibition what dumbass faction of american retards is this trying to appeal to?

also i've seen the real cuttysark before it caught fire and i was in notre dame before it burned up too

>>17014648
Cutty Sark was famously illegally smuggled into the US during prohibition, it's probably not true but it's said that the Kennedy's were the ones who imported it.

>>17014654
so…basically the type of dumbass american retards who are inexplicably obsessed with prohibition and thinking that alcohol was somehow better back then

>>17014658
It's called marketing.

>>17014648
>>17014658
The Glen Turner company probably just wanted to sell a new whisky but were worried it lacked appeal so they just reused their existing Cutty Sark branding.
Also I've only seen the Cutty Sark after the fire and I've never seen Notre Dame. No, I am not American, I just rarely go abroad and visit tourist attractions. Pic was from 2017.

>>17014660
kind of like this shit which didn't exist prior to the late 90s, is made by segrams, and the only people who buy it do so because they think it's some ancient apothecary recipe for peppermint schnapps

>>17014679
I don't think anyone mistakes that for genuine senpai it's just cheap, cloyingly sweet liqueur.

>>17014718
orly?
don't underestimate the power of marketing and gullibility of consumers

>>17014679
>>17014736
You're really taking the piss here. A modern company using dated/inaccurate aesthetics may be commonplace, but I sincerely doubt the average consumer is that deluded or ignorant. It's more the fact that sort of labelling is appealing to the psyche of certain people.

>>17014736
it's just a retro-chic aesthetic bruv. I know y'all don't leave your basements often but this sort of thing was really popular in the 2000s, nobody took it at face value.

>>17014775
I really thought I was buying a 100 year old bottle of root beer at the 7/11.

>>17014783
>cat-poster is retarded
Every time.

Just get a bottle of Coke if you want to LARP as an olde-timey recovering cocaine addict.

>>17014793
Hell there's probably an actual 100 year old brand of root beer right next to the Coke

But nah senpai surely old timey beverages must all have old timey labels, and all old timey labels must be on genuinely old timey product

>>17011441
The guys here telling you to throw it on ice or in coke are trolling.
Glenmorangie is almost the perfect introduction to single malt scotch. Just try to get the original, not one of their needless derivatives

>>17010799
Hail to the king, baby.

Calm down.

How do you get over the guilt of drinking?
Anytime I do it now I feel guilty, like I'm doing something I really shouldn't.

>>17014837
Nah that logic doesn't follow.
It's more mallgoth for people who have newly discovered the color brown.

>>17014886
Easy fix: no drinking, no guilt

>>17014886
By limiting my drinking to one glass once a week.

>>17014904
>>17014908
Sounds incredibly lame and boring

>>17014915
Lame is what you'll be when your liver gives out and your crippling dependency on drugs spirals your life out of control.

>>17014918
Okay Baptist John

>>17014935
I'm only telling you what you already know. Why else would you feel guilt?

>>17014945
I just find this extreme anti-alcohol notion that you see a lot on 4chan really nonsensical. You people act as if even little to a moderate amount of drinking will suddenly crush your liver, make you go insane and crash your car and murder all your family or some shit. My guilt stems more from whether or not I'm airing toward drinking too much or a copious amount. This patronizing "never ever drink" shit just makes me think it stems from autists who see alcohol as this ultimate Big Bad and not something that can be enjoyed in a healthy or even just okay way, which is an even more unhealthy way of viewing alcohol than people who drink regularly but don't go overboard.

>>17014964
Drinking more than one serving 2 if you're big of Whiskey does do damage to your liver.

>>17014964
I'm not anti-alcohol, but I am anti-addiction.
If your drinking is such an issue that you are wracked with guilt over it then that is a clear and present signal to stop.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

>>17014972
>that you are wracked with guilt over it
It's more of a twinge, I'm not sitting here shaking considering the next bottle

>>17014980
Sure, deflect. Mitigate. Deny. Let a preventable problem fester until it is too late.

>>17014967
I drank pretty heavily last year during quarantine (a 1 litre bottle of spirits shared with my gf every 3-4 days) and last time I got my blood tested a few months ago I was told by my doctor that my liver function is good. I don't drink as heavily as that now.

>>17014985
So the only alternative is to not drink alcohol ever again?

>>17014986
>I was told by my doctor that my liver function is good
ok, glad you're not drinking so much now.

>>17014989
Clearly you don't trust yoruself to drink in moderation, neither do you have any sort of support network to help you kick an addiction if you're asking anons for help on the bengali oilskin dyeing forum.

>>17014986
my doctor once told me as he was looking at my bloodwork:
"i know you said you only have 3-4 alcoholic drinks per week, but someone who drinks as much as you actually do should be taking a b vitamin supplement”

>>17015000
You know nothing about me but keep preaching

>>17012489
Rowan's Creek and Noah's Mill are both really good. They're the Willett products you can find.

>>17012283
If that's what Cognac is, what is Armagnac

>>17015008
That doctor sounds based. He didn't even tell you to slow down or anything. He probably drinks, too.

>>17015083
Cognac and Armagnac are both brandy producing regions of France.

>>17015008
B1

>>17012889
it is gut wrenchingly sweet, I wouldnt recommend to anyone

>>17015025
I have definitely seen Noah's mill as well in the shop that I live near, I'll have tk try that next

Can one of you experts recommend a rum for a kraken enjoyer to up their game?

>>17015008
I had a B12 deficiency after my heavy drinking bout, it's why I went to the doctor in the first place. Take supplements.

Drinking Four Roses Small Batch. Not bad. It's my birthday tomorrow so why shouldn't I start drinking at 3:00

>>17010799
my dad was a ‘sark drinker when I was a kid

I’d drink applejuice and one time when I was about 5 I grabbed a glass off the counter that contained a familiar-colored liquid
turns out it was his scotch and I took a huge gulp of the stuff

30 years later and even the thought of scotch still turns my stomach despite loving most other whiskies

>>17015527
Cruzan Black Strap or Single Barrel

>>17015527
if it's to sweet try the 8yo

>>17015527
Lemon Hart 151, drunk straight.

Cheap today and bought Bell's whisky and St remy.

Bell's is shit. St Remy is alright.

tried monkey shoulder today
hate it

last couple days I've been going back to some more empty bottles of my sherried scotches(Edradour, Balvenie, Uigeadail), but made some orange chicken with leeks and toasted sesame seeds from scratch earlier so I might be going Kilchoman tonite.

whats the best alcohol delivery service? cheap prices and doesnt make me buy 5+ bottles for cheaper shipping

>>17014964
>anti alcohol notion
>in the whiskey and spirits general
you typed an essay because hes right and you're insecure

>>17017487
yea it tastes like rubbing alcohol, lawn clippings and bananas

>>17017487
Not surprising, it tastes like old people smell and banana breath.

>>17015660
Cutty is a Speyside blend so scotch from any of the other 4/5 regions should be fine, they're really distinct.

>>17013012
>>17013864
Yeah I assumed so, but would normies enjoy it? Like I would be planning to serve it as a fun shot for normies/ladies that visit.

staying within the Beam neighborhood you probably want Red Stag. not as much peanuty goodness but if your planning your purchases around retards then dont bother with the good shit as it'll be wasted on them.

>>17014809
coke guys are probably latinos with shit taste (im a latino)
>>17011441
The problem with drinking high tier whisky, rum, brandy and Cognac is that you will despise low tier ones...it`s like a curse and you won`t enjoy drinking garbage with your friends

>mfw Makers is owned by Beam Suntory

Talisker 10 tastes better than Laphroaig 10.
I really liked the nose of the laphroaig but I was let down on the taste not being anywhere near as flavorful and intense and the nose led on to be, while the Talisker had a good nose and it tasted very flavorful too.

bump

>>17014964
>letting autists on 4chan effect your emotions about real life things you enjoy
pathetic

how much whiskey per night is too much?
I've been going through about two 1.75 liter bottles a week

>>17020944
If you have to ask, it's too much.

Is one molecule of ethanol every night too much?

>>17018909
>$0.00001 bas been deposited into your account, Sincerely Diageo

>>17020944

>>17021119
>0.25 shekels has been deposited into your account, Sincerely Beam Suntory.

Enjoying the Arran now. Don't love their new bottle design but not a deal breaker

>>17021254
I have a 2014 bottling of the 10 and its really nice. I kinda want to try their Bodega and Port versions, but yeah the redesign makes me think they want that Edrington dosh. apparently the discontinued 14 is awesome, but good luck finding it on a shelf if you arent in LA, Chicago or NY

>>17017864
It tastes like a bourbon that really wants to be a rye

>>17020944
If you wake up the next morning it's fine

>>17020944
you should switch to vodka/water and buy some Thiamine (vitamin B1)and some coconut water if you plan on drinking any more then that

Has Ardbeg 10 changed or has my palate changed? It was basically my go to Scotch a couple years ago but the bottle I recently bought seems like a thinner more washed out version of the earthy peat and smoked meat I remember.

>>17010845
I want to read him
where do i start

>>17021697
come back to it in few weeks/months. Ardbeg seems to be putting money into marketing instead of putting it into the quality of their product lately though. It could just be your palate. try Laphroaig if your feelin froggy ;^o

Redpill me on spiced rum.
Those bottles of kraken keep catching my eye.

>>17022893
its good and my favorite mixed drinks are with rum
rum drinkers are extra snobby though and turn their noses at the spiced variety. but i love it.

>>17021697
>>17022439
It's just your palate

>>17015724
i get sad when i see this rum because my parents buy it and it says "guyana" on the bottle and my ex gf is guyanese

>>17023251
I think its good to do things like that because your mind starts to associate it with other things
like eventually guyana will make you think of that bottle instead of your whore ex

>>17010866
>want to drink rittenhouse because ice always loved rittenhouse.
>dumb libs get disgusted at you for ordering it at a bar now
>I always almost have a pistol open carried in condition 1

Dude I dont care about that fag rittenhouse who should be in jail or any of the pedos he killed I just want cheap rye whiskey. Fucking libs.

>>17023291
>who should be in jail
You sound like one of those libs.

Last month I picked up my first bottle of whiskey, WT101, and hated it entirely, mixed, straight, rocks, neat, any way. Tonight I just downed a shot of it and it tasted incredibly strongly of spices, caramel, and vanilla and it was incredible. I don't know if it was just airing it out or if having it in a small amount made it taste that fucking good but I want more. Any recs? I have a friend recommend Bulleit but I see it get shit on regularly in these threads.

>>17023303
Your palate changed, do you have a price range you want to stick to?

I drink a lot of Irish coffee during the holiday season. I’ll use whatever Irish whiskey I have on hand, often it’s Bushmills

>>17023307
Money isn't a huge concern with all the overtime and time and a half around this season but maybe 80 bucks max for regular drinking.

>>17023315
Wild Turkey rare breed, or Kentucky spirit for some more Wild Turkey, or some Russell's Reserve. Angel's envy, Old Forester 1920, Eagle Rare, Old Grand Dad 114. Knob Creek 12 year old, Knob Creek 9 year old single barrel.

>>17023324
Fantastic shit, friend. I'll put all of them on my alcho-backlog.
I don't know if it's just the booze flowing through my veins or what, but I'm really in the mood to expand my alcoholic palate.

>>17023337

extremely high-quality historical image you've got there

Tried Jim Beam for the first time the other day and I'm pleasantly surprised
For the price, the taste is quite adequate
I also have a bottle of Buffalo Trace here and I think the JB might actually be better

>>17014819
It's honestly so good
Especially at that price
The flavour is so rich and it has so much body
Everything else I've had after it tastes watered down

>>17022893

What do you lads mix spiced rum with that isn't soda or juice?

>>17014886
Drink with company only. Don't over drink. I can't drink by myself because I feel it's a complete waste of time. A bigger waste of time is being hungover and unable to do anything the next day

>>17029841
go ask reddit

>>17030646
depends entirely on if the recipient like peat. if yes probably the Ballechin.

>>17031059
Likes both peat and sherry bombs. That's why I can't decide

>>17031069
well if you can swing it and they haven't already had the regular Edradour 10 I'd say get both it and Ballechin that way you cant miss.

>>17031096
^THIS. the distillery version of Edradour 10 is already plenty sherried and about half the price of the cask strength Signatory versio, so you really aren't going to be giant much over the cheaper one.for sure go for the Ballechin at least.

Any thoughts on this Cask Strength leaf Whiskey?
Just had some, pretty good once it was got nice and cold. Def need some ice to mellow it out

>>17011919
All those are the kinds of whiskey you'd probably have at the dive bar with friends. What was the scenario you had it in? Casual whiskey drinking is much better.

I bought some mount gay black barrel
its ok but i dont like the aging in bourbon barrels
instead of tasting like a good rum or a good bourbon, it just tastes like a weird not so good bourbony rum.

Not glorifying alcohol, but I work in a sales department and the average normie/ boomer drinks a ton of alcohol. The difference is they have lives. Drinking and socialization go hand in hand, you shouldn't drink if you're just drinking alone specifically. Share it with friends and family

>>17033172
Yeah, sorry dude, you've been conned on that one. What do you usually prefer, whiskey or rum?

Does captain Morgan private stock actually taste better than the regular bottle? It's like 3 dollars difference here

>>17033489
>whiskey general
>captain morgan
its just the same stuff, spiced a little differently in a fancy bottle and they charge you more for it because your perceived value of it is greater
try it and see if its worth the extra 3 bux to you or not

>>17033526
>and spirits

I read reviews, didnt go to the website though
>>17033226
I like both, but I've only ever had cheap rum. I did research on some good rub brands but my local place has a really limited rum selection compared to the whiskeys. with whiskey I've always felt like I got what I paid for, but with rum I feel like I've enjoyed the cheaper rum liquors more than the very few more authentic rums that I've tried.

>>17033033
That shit cost me 80USD in commifornia, fuck if im going to "mellow it out"like some faggot considering how amazing it is neat. Granted the first sip kicks like a mule, but you barely notice the alcohol afterwards .

Maybe scewball is more to your speed?

I've actually enjoyed my cheap rum like kraken and captain morgan a shit ton more than the more expensive rums I've tried like bumbu, plantation and mount gay.

>>17033661
you can get some nice cocktail cherries
you can throw those in nearly any cocktail, bitches love them and the syrup adds a nice sweetness

>>17033738
I have half a jar of luxarados sitting in the cabinet
I don't use them myself (I don't like the sweetness), but you're exactly correct, bitches love cocktail cherries.
that said, I have a 10% off entire purchase coupon, so maybe I should grab a second jar anyway.

>>17033750
Uhhh...you don't refrigerate them?

>>17033774
it says not to refrigerate them right on the packaging, anon
you can't bamboozle me

This is the best bourbon until the $70+ range.

I wish there were more options, but spend less and you get clearly inferior bourbon and better bourbon doesn't become apparent until you spend significantly more.

>>17010799
First time here, I’m a bit of a retard who’s never drank before
Also I’m autistic. If I buy some whiskey how do I drink it? Am I supposed to drink slow or am I supposed to get drunk
I don’t have friends to go to a bar with

Sip it, you'll probably want to make a cocktail first like an old fashioned, then move to on the rocks, then to drinking it neat.

>>17034058
>Am I supposed to drink slow or am I supposed to get drunk
If you buy good whiskey, you drink it slow. If you buy poor whiskey, you mix it with soda and get drunk.

>>17034058
When I buy nice whiskey for sipping, I don't even get a buzz from it. It's a slow, savory affair. If you just want to get drink, mix it with something and knock yourself out

How do I know what’s good whiskey? Do you guys have a chart
All I know is Jack Daniels. I don’t need to buy a whiskey glass do I?

>>17034102
>I don’t need to buy a whiskey glass do I?
Not right now, just a rocks glass, but if you want to start drinking Whiskey neat, a Glencairn is worth buying.
Look at reviews for Whiskeys, I can recommend Wild Turkey 101, Buffalo trace, Glenfiddich 12.

>>17034102
>How do I know what’s good whiskey?
Price gives a general idea. You've probably heard terms like bottom shelf, mid shelf, top shelf. This correlates to actual stores stocking whiskey on shelves according to their price and quality. Look for whiskey on the middle shelves. Less than $30 for bourbon or 40 for scotch/irish means it's not going to be incredible on its own, though you can still find plenty that drink fine without mixing.

Bought this today. May crack it out to share with family during thanksgiving.

>>17034116
>yes I am very sophisticated I drink expensive whiskey from my expensive glass
>what whiskey? why, buffalo trace of course

>>17034127
>Price gives a general idea.
I'd disagree with this now, this was true closer to 10 years ago, but now there are so many blenders and sourcers now that charge $60 for some sourced MGP that is 3 years old.

>>17034133
Anon, I'm recommending a new person bourbon, and telling him to wait on buying a glencairn, that costs like $8.

>>17034137
I drink methylated spirits from a sippy cup where am I from

>>17014809
Don't exactly ice it down all to hell, but one ice cube like I go with or even chilling the glass first makes a world of fucking difference in taste for the better.

>>17034178
>the less flavor, the better

>>17034058
>>17034102
just go to the liquor store and buy something for under 30 dollars. drink it neat, with ice, then in a simple cocktail. do this two or three more times and you'll have a decent collection and a good idea of how you enjoy your whiskey.
for your first, Ill rec Bulleit rye. it's what I'm drinking right now and it's a very good intro to rye, I think.

>>17034213
I'd modify this to bulleit bourbon. Rye whiskey is not typically what a beginner whiskey drinker would enjoy

>>17034129
its good stuff albeit a bit simple, but if you go slow there is nuance. nice finish that will linger for an impressive amount of time considering the age and abv.

>>17034180
t. never had whiskey
you try your first shot straight
maybe you like it, maybe you could do with something else
so you add a few drops of water which also improves the aroma and flavor of whiskey, rather than just diluting it

>>17018156
>with your friends
ha ha yeah

What are some good whiskeys under $40?

>>17023309
hell yeah
just started adding a shot from this bottle of bushmills that's been languishing on the shelf for months to a cup of black coffee and it's great. not a fan of irish whiskey normally but now i'm going to have to buy another just for coffee

>>17034526
Russell's Reserve 10 year.

>>17014819
A strong, dark flavor only rivaled by black strap molasses rum.
If you are able to sip, then this is a great choice.
If you can't control yourself, then water it down 1:1

>needless derivatives
What bullshit. The original is a flavourless base that definitely calls for heavy finishing. All derivatives outclass the original. Nectar D'or is a great choice if the price is right.

Glenmorangie sucks fucking ass, it's just a /ck/ meme. I've tried three different kinds (12, 14, and one I don't remember) and they ranged from "meh" to "the foulest whiskey I've ever had in my life". Avoid at all costs.

>>17035312
Glendfiddich 12 is the superior introduction to Single Malt Scotch for sure.

>>17035326
Okay, I just looked it up, I was thinking of 10. 10 was the most foul thing I've ever had. I still wouldn't recommend any Glenmorangie, given what I have had of them, but to be completely fair I've never tried 12.

>>17035338
No Glenfiddich, I think that Glenmorangie has no flavor.

>>17036408
Cheap Canadian whisky can be deceptively good.

Hey bros. I got around 4 bucks for a drink. Gin, vodka, brandy or light whiskey? What should I get? Or maybe soju?

Just got some locally made 100 proof apple brandy, 2 bottles of alcoholic egg nog, some strawberry mead and a 4 pack of boozy cherry limeade. Got a ton of beer as well because I'd hate to run out of drinks on a holiday when I invited people over.

>>17036408
I always thought it was weird that it was mentioned so much in that book because I knew how terrible that shit is.

You sound like you need the whisky value chart.

>>17034040
>This is the best bourbon until the $70+ range.

That's like just your opinion, man. And you know about opinions, right? Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and everyone thinks their's doesn't stink.

$18.97 *LIQUOR SPECIAL*, last one on the shelf so i said what the hell because I'll be pouring a half dozen others for family tomorrow and the only thing its good for is having something to be representing the low end of scotch. its ironically better with about a teaspoon of water. finish is about the same as JW Black as far as smotthness goes and the most malt flavor i get is about a 2/10 with a faint vanilla, honey and some peanut. less rich and flavorful than Jameson for same price. I'll be making Rob Roys and Rusty Nails with whats left. Grain is quite forward and has a lawn clippings type thing going on without water. Wish I would've got Chivas 12 for an extra $10

>>17037345
If you have Teacher's highland cream in your area I'd get that.

>>17027478
I don't care for bourbon either. The sweetness in any liquor is disgusting to me. Rum is the same. Just gross

Why buy $200 whiskey when I could get 20 bottles of Old Crow instead??? Simple as.

Kentucky whiskey or Tennessee?

>>17037632
Because Wild Turkey 101 is 1000x better.

this is okay, they need to make it 101 proof though, then that good flavor will really shine thru

Can you recommend me a white rum

I had my first whiskey yesterday. It was an Old Smuggler and didn't like it. Can't tell if i got filtered or it was a very poor quality

I feel like a basic bitch but Johnnie Walker Green has consistently outdone the single malts for me. Only Macallan 12 I've liked more but not all days I want that sort inoffensive sweetness.

>>17039636
>OGD114 is better.

>>17041447
>under $20 for a handle
you can expect much from a bottle in that range. they are for cocktails and filling the gaps for when you aren't having a single malt or other favorite spirit.

Rum fire Jamaican overproof hampden estate.

Going to a store this weekend, what should I get for a broke college student's liquor cabinet? So far Ive gotten a couple cheap bourbons. Thinking absinthe and gin would open up some options for cocktails?

>>17042320
Wild Turkey 101, I'd probably stop buying Jack Daniels and Rebel Yell as well.

>>17042502
I think the Rebel is fine for mixed drinks but youre right the Forester is definitely better for drinking by itself. The Jack isnt mine but Im aware its nothing too great

A lot of Canadian whiskey is really good, especially for the price. Unfortunately the way booze is taxed here, absolute bottom shelf swill is around the same price as something that is totally drinkable. Instead they bulk sell casks of absolute trash to American bottling companies and that's what you get to enjoy. I see more "Canadian" whiskey on the shelves in American liquor stores than Canadian ones.
