When you absolutely need to get plastered without regard for taste or quality

>Bought a bottle of this and it's pretty good so let's have a Liquor thread
I pour Licor 43 over ice cream or bread pudding sometimes. I like the occasional "mini beer" shot too (why I bought it)

>>19871848
Yeah the plan is to actually try making one of the desserts from their site to bring with me on thanksgiving and I decided to try some on ice.

>>19871858
Licor 43 reminds me quite a bit of Benedictine & Brandy (B&B) or say a bit more vanilla forward version of Tuaca. It's pretty delicious.

Chartreuse is endgame liquor change my mind you literally cant make a better product

>>19871816
I bought some applejack today because they didn't have calvados and I have a hankering to make some poulet vallee d'Auge.

My wife forbids me from drinking but she is making vanilla with vodka and rum twice or 3 times a week I will grab a few of her homemade vanilla bottles and pour minuscule amounts from each into my tea to avoid detection. I call it the Sneaky Todd

>>19871816
Does anyone here drink Get 31, aka 'peppermint jet'?

>>19872019
Are you asking to be called a cuck

>>19872021
Is that the frog version of Rumpleminze?

>>19871816
Are you my mom? She's the only one I've heard of that likes this stuff.
She likes pic related too, maybe you'll like it.

Trying to settle on a favorite over-proof bourbon. Opinions?

>>19871831
strange way of typing
>I got the diabeetus and alcoholic fatty liver

>>19871816
im pretty sober now, but this shit is gold

>>19872719
107 proof and pretty good

>>19872719
The two on the left are non-competitive with the one on the right, obviously.

>>19871900
What's some good uses for Benedictine and Brandy? I have a full bottle and don't know what to do with it.

what kind of cheap wine is good?
gonna try trader joe's cabernet sauvignon

>>19872934
if it's not at least in the double digits price range then dont even bother.

>>19872719
Ernest Hemingway used to take an entire suitcase full of Wild Turkey bottles when he traveled, and sip them throughout the day.

>>19872019
grim

>>19872934
i usually just buy the cheapest aop/doc bottles i see at costco, usually like $8-$16
there needs to be a reason for a bottle to be $20+ imo

>>19871816
It’s not liquor, it’s a liqueur. They’re usually heavily sweetened so do not get drunk off of it, the way you would with a liquor, like whiskey or vodka. The hangover will literally make you want to die.

It’s meant to be drunk as an after dinner digestif or used as an ingredient in cocktails.

>>19872934
Man, you just have to do a little bit of research wrt wines, as we don’t know where you live and what’s available there. Trader Joe’s Cabernet Sauvignon honesty sounds like a cooking wine I wouldn’t even put in my beef stew but I really couldn’t tell you.

You can get decent wine for cheap, even box wine, which has the added bonus of maintaining its quality for much longer after opening compared to bottle wine. But you have to do some legwork.

>>19873320
I'm doing research on a website called 4chan right now but it's not being very helpful and is being a pissy little bitch

>>19873343
You are doing it wrong, then, you lazy fuck. Maybe chugging thunderbird is more your speed.

I love Hennessy

>>19873457
Save your wallet and just buy Paul Masson Grande Amber fer chrissakes

>>19872934
cheap chilean/argentinian wine tends to have best bang-for-buck, but a lot of them also tend to be one-note
Kirkland has the best budget wine out there, a lot of it is made by the really good estates specifically for Costco, just make sure you research what each region is like--the barolo is very different from the rioja, for example

>>19872914
Vieux Carre? By itself over some ice?

>>19872008
I hope if you got Laird, you got the "straight" applejack. The regular stuff is like 60% NGS. It's very smooth ans easy to drink straight, but doesn't have enough kick for cocktails.

>>19872719
>overproof
Not a term applied to whiskey. Overproofing means that gunpowder wet with the stuff will still ignite and it needs to be at least 115ish proof to do that. 100 proof 4 year or better whiskey is "bonded", cask strength varies, but usually ends up between 125 and 145 proof. Anything above 40 but not those things is just "premium" whiskey, as you are getting more whiskey for whiskey and it's diluted to taste, not for dollars.

>Man respects wife's wishes
>Suddenly lonely 4chan virgins start screaming about their cuckold fetish
kill yourselves

i mix this with orange joos, tastes just like my favorite Popsicle

>>19871831
oh god no... not this sea demon...

I have experience with it, that's why I avoid it

>>19873457
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
damn cat, off my keyboard!

Just bought this since it was on sale for $12 (normally only like $14). Is it a quality buy for under $15? My last bottle was Four Roses Yellow Label (if they even call it that anymore). MSRP is supposed to be $20, but it's only available at $28/30 around me.

>>19874090
>Man respects wife's wishes
That’s one thing, but getting to the point you’re sneaking sips and hoping she doesn’t notice sounds like you’re being controlled and need to grow a spine. Infidelity not guaranteed but more likely in a situation that dire

>>19874443
meh it's just Buffalo Trace not good enough to be labelled as such.

Four Rose's yellow label is only 40% so not the best value, but it's better than Benchmark imo although at that price you may as well be getting something at least 100 proof.

>>19874443
The price of alcohol has gotten ridiculous. It doesn't help that locals here are sin-taxing it. I just picked up Benchmark 8, not Top Floor, for 14 USD.

I miss drinking Old Crow Reserve for cheap. Now I can't find it at all. It was cheap and delicious by the handle.

>>19874690
Everything is always against you: time, entropy, your own limitations; at the same time, everyone is always against you. It's human nature to spend every breath trying to elevate yourself above others while pushing everyone else as far down as you can. Therefore, if both the nature of existence and humanity is always against you, how can you ever hope to truly find peace and happiness? There will always be pain, war, betrayal and grief.

>>19873974
Nah I'm pretty sure it's the shit one that's like 50% vodka.

>>19874443
You want one of the best cheap bourbons? Picrel is good. For the price, it's really good.

>>19875670
Calm down Lisa Simpson

>>19873320
trader joes has great blended scotch for the price.

>>19875670
woah there faggot
>>19875971
KEK

was never truly impressed with any liquor in my life until I had peated whiskey

>>19873260
>one of the first times drinking
>bought this amaretto or rootbeer something liqueur
>accidentally drank the entire 750ml bottle throughout the night not realizing it because it was like candy
I felt like I wanted to die and off balance for the next 3.5 days. I've never been that sick in my life before or since.

>>19875538
Old Crow Reserve was my jam. I can't stomach the normal Old Crow that shit is too vile for me. Last time I ever saw a bottle was in 2014 and then I moved and never saw anyone carrying it again. I switched the Evan Williams which is still the best deal going in good enough bourbon. Can get a handle for $23

>>19875670
*hits bong*
dude, what?

>>19872719
Wild Turkey is the Honda Accord of Bourbon. Not flashy but constantly reliable

This is my go to drink at the end of the day. Especially is the fall and winter it warms you right up!

It's autumn so pic related.

I wasn't able to find a whiskey I liked until I tried this, so I imagine actual whiskey enjoyers probably think its foul but for me it was a 10/10,

>>19871984
>chartreuse
Based. Drank on saturday. This time I had the Exilir(69%). So I decided to make nuclear shots with green chartreuse and the exilir on 1:1 ratio. What I made was a 62% alcohol content ultra giga nuclear roided turbonigger killer shot. I passed out. Normally with chartreuse you only feel a very slight burning at the back of the mouth when you ingest it but goes away quicky and leaves a good warned up feeling and herbal taste. The mixture burned everything and herbal taste was very strong like a jägermeister. Had to take several samples to define the taste which caused the premature passing.

>>19878230
Can never find this stuff

>>19878230
fuckin top lad

>>19872788
>and pretty good
and you never tasted it because this overhyped corn juice is over 1k $ a pop. You can buy so many great bottles instead of chasing the marketing hype

>>19879998
I live quite near. The 700mL green bottle retails at 39€ including taxes in Casino(target equivalent). I have a discount card which gives me 10% on everything. And they had a promotion one day where if you buy a liquor they gave you back 30% a sa coupon. In the end it was 23.4€ per bottle so I obviously bought one and passed out with it

>>19871816
add some orange juice, taste exactly like an orange creamsicle

>>19871816
Gonna buy a couple Costco vodka or liquor bottles for christmas white elephant parties
I think im gonna stick them inside two oatmeal containers so people think they are getting an Xl candle or something

>>19872934
depends what flavor you like ie bruts or desert wines.

Buy a bunch of two buck chuck tier stuff and taste test it

what is a good quality whiskey if my budget is under 100? i want something i can really enjoy while im getting drunk, not just swallow down as fast as possible

>>19874090
But he isnt even respecting her wishes when hes secretly drinking. Either stop it completely or stand your ground if youll do it anyway

>>19871816
1/3 of 43 and 2/3 milk is probably one of the tastiest and simplest drinks out there

One of the greatest things, especially when drinking with friends or family while eating, is pure ice cold vodka. It becomes slightly thicker and a lot lighter and gets some sweet notes.
Pic rel is pretty cheap but solid. Ideal for big get togethers

>>19881627
link a store or two you usually visit and your preferred type(scotch, irish, bourbon, rye, etc)

as a general reference the mid shelf stuff in range of $30-50 USD is hard to fuck up especially if you only drink plastic bottle shit.

I got my drivers license and decided to buy myself some weed like a retard since i havent smoked in more than a year, smoked a bit and hated it, so i decided to offshore the stuff to my hippie mom and bought a liter of jack daniels instead :)

>>19872719
can't miss with WT101, my favorite sleeper pick
the Dodge Neon SRT4 of bourbon

>>19883273
odd analogy, but they should've made it AWD from the factory and at least attempt to get it into WRC otherwise it looks like Apu with an autism hat tailing Disappointed Pepe(Evo VIII or STi). even Ford styles on Dodge with the Fiesta/Focus and Chevy just laughs in Camaro/Vette. Dodge only gets to laugh at Pontiac and Saturn.

What’s up with the blue Smirnoff

>>19876171
what's that e doing in whisky

>>19882395
ur white trash lmao

Are there any good vodkas out there? I've only had cheap stuff, and that just tasted like hand sanitizer.
