Rum tastes like shit. Try whiskey.

>>6890456
Well I don't mind the flavors of spices and molasses and shit that you get from rum, it's just that syrupy sickly sweetness in the back of my throat I can't stand. So maybe if I try a dry rum I'll have better luck

Nobody drinks rum "neat". Try whiskey.

>>6890677
pirates do

>>6890389
work your way into it. for bourbon you can easily train your palate through this progression:

bourbon + coke
old fashioned
on the rocks
with a splash of water
neat

I prefer most of my brown liquors on the rocks, not neat. nobody really gives a shit.


if you really want to drink spirits neat, try to analyze and understand what you're tasting so that you focus more on the flavors/complexity than the booze. also, take real small sips.

>>6890686
You aren't a fucking pirate

>>6890677
That is bullshit. Lots of people drink rum neat, just expensive rum.

>>6890389
The real question is
>WHY do you want to enjoy things you don't right now
I don't get this. It's like being straight and trying to make yourself enjoy getting a dick in your ass.

>>6890762
I get where you're coming from but it really isn't that weird. It's like saying "why do you want to train yourself to be able to bench 300lbs even though you can't right now?". I just want to be able to. And I know it's an acquired taste so I'm trying to acquire it. The first time I tasted beer or black coffee I didn't want to like it but after I forced myself to a bit, I loved it, and I am now really glad that I forced myself to like those things because I have them all the time now.

Captain morgan is sugary vanilla flavored rum. try pic related

>>6890686
they drink grog ya dope

>>6890389
listen to the other anons, try whiskey or vodka.
some alcohols you will naturally not like because of your unique palate, i personally only mix rum, and i havent bought any in over 5 years because whiskey and vodka are just better in my opinion.

Don't drink fucking rum straight. Almost any other liquor is better straight than rum is. Most people prefer whiskey, and its probably my favorite, but tequila, vodka, and brandy are also good.

Seriously op just drink some good quality spirits, like gin, scotch, bourbon, brandy, vodka or maybe a nice tequila.

Spend 20-40 dollars on a bottle, go to the store and ask someone for a suggestion, put the rum down.>>6890389

sprinkle some ketamine, a shit ton of shroom extract, 3 drops of acid, and ginkgo extract 6 hours before(to remember)... That is how I drink every friday night

>>6890465
just try whiskey you fucking retard

are you a pirate? no? then stop drinking rum straight

jesus

>vodka
>neat

when i first started enjoying neat spirits, it came from trying out flights of whiskey with friends. the good stuff in very small quantities turned out enjoyable enough that i persevered until i found palatable cheap stuff.

>being this much of a bitch in 2015

>>6890389
Buy quality. Mixed drinks were designed to cover up sub-par liquor, drinking neat is usually reserved for higher quality. I recommend buying an expensive bottle ($40-70) of a style you like. TALK TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE.

>>6890456
>whiskey
Do a real man's drink and do gin

>>6890389
Dilute your spirits a bit with cool water. Serve them in a glass with a narrow top so the pleasant aromas get funneled right to you. And don't be a pussy, neat spirits are an acquired taste, like a lot of things, but tf you still find yourself grimacing after the 10th try, maybe just conclude that you don't like neat spirits and stick to mixed drinks and fermented beverages. Save you a lot of money at least.

>>6890389
eventually your brain will associate the taste of alcohol with happy feelings and it will start to taste good, you just have to keep drinking

Used to kill a bottle of something every three days. Eventually the burn stops.

>rum
>whiskey
>cognac
>brandy

there is literally zero discernible difference between them, they're essentially the same shit

>>6890389
Fucking try this shit. It's unlike any other rum I've had. It's like drinking candy.
I actually use it for the cake and glaze for my rum cake just because it merrys so well with sugary cake.

I've been trying to drink whiskey neat, but something about it doesn't right with my stomach. I'll have a few drinks, feel fine, then 2-3 hours later I suddenly get a strong urge to vomit. Does this happen to anyone else?

It's called a hangover yes we know what's it's like but unlike you most can take it better

>>6890707
do you know that for sure

>>6892472
Yeah if you only pick your spirits and liquors from the bottom shelf.

>never had tried a 30 y old rum , aged in oak , from small distillery

this stuff is at the same level that an old brandy, cognac, Armagnac, whiskey or vielle prune.....

stay plebs

>>6893481
would be alright if it was aged in a temperate climate, not barbados or what have you

>>6890707
Bitch I might be.

And I DO drink rum straight. OP you gotta sip on it slowly. And it has to be good rum (Kraken at a minimum).

>>6890389
You have to be the liquor, Rando

Ginger ale and Jameson is a good start to move onward, you will then move to Jameson, rocks, and water, then just rocks, then just whisky.

>>6892472
...............

>>6892289
It's just nasty. I can do shots of vodka but sipping it no, just no way in hell that's gonna happen. It tastes like medical alcohol...

Whiskey though, that's another story completely. I can seriously chug this shit.
>pic related

I can only drink whiskey straight. Everything else tastes like ass to me.

Try something like jamesons or a glen. I find them the easiest to drink.

>>6890389
Just do what most of the world does. Drink liquor to get drunk, and feel good for a bit.

What do you guys think of this?

>>6896179
I tried it in Canada... not my thing tbh

Don't be a stupid motherfucker. Booze is for getting drunk. Shoot the shit or down it with diet cola.

Best whisky is 40%-50% abv. Anything under is shit. Anything over is shit. Jack daniels is shit.

Put the money into good whisky like japanese, scottish, etc etc.

Bulleit Rye whiskey is very easy to drink straight, and inexpensive. Scotch is very good too. Try something from Balvenie.

>>6895385
JD is some of the shittiest whiskey you can buy for the money. Literally the budweiser of whiskey.

>>6890762
Hark, anon. I think I hear yonder tendies softly calling.

>>6890389
>Just when it comes to drinking rum neat or with a big fat ice cube in it I can't do it.
That's not neat.

>>6890389
I only really drink gin and tequila and that's doing alright for me.

>>6893509
Yeah a 30 year old rum aged in a tropical climate would be...oaky to say the least I would think. For OPs purposes a quality aged rum between 8 and 21 years old would do nicely.

>>6896548
Anything under 40% wouldn't legally even be whisky would it? Would have to be called a whisky liqeur or some such.

>>6896554
This. I always cringe when I hear people talking about JD like it's some high-end shit. It's just a step above Canadian mist

>>6896179
just cheap goldschlager. we buy it just to pass around for shots at parties
