Nothing. I've got really bad rhinitus since I broke my nose so not only can't I smell or taste it properly, it makes my headache even worse.

I love my $60 750ml of rubbing alcohol with burnt oak
Truly nothing compares right my fine sirs and gentlemen?

>>9874259
After reading that Ben garrison vietnam copypasta all I drink is Johnny walker black

natty light cuz still broke

Is jack daniels (and jd honey flavored) a meme drink?

I wanna drink whiskey, tenesseee whiskey but i dont know shit about whiskey.

>>9874259
Home for the holiday and had some Makers Mark with my dad. Pretty comfy.

Have you drank any type of whiskey before?

>>9874572
meant for >>9874542

>>9874259
Lagavulin 16 this evening / morning. It is a shadow of its former self, really disappointed. Ardbeg 10 is miles better, I will be drinking that from now on. Still, it isn't bad and I have 2 bottles to get through.

>>9874438
go back to your sip threads underage faggot

>>9874621
This. Who doesnt enjoy a nice shot of rubing alcohol with a hint of wood

>>9874677
>he likes things that I don't like

>>9874693
>he posts pictures from tumblr

Delicious cold vodka that tastes as pure as spring water.

>>9874259
Japanese whiskey is dildos.

>>9874259
Wild Turkey 101, & maybe a couple of beers.

Michter’s Rye

Who /Eagle Rare/ here?

>>9874259
Jim Beam - Gut Rot

Chasing it with lemon flavored Powerade, because I ran out of beer.

>>9874542
Jack Daniels is very bad for the price. Probably worth if you can get it half off. The honey one mixes very nicely with black tea.
Why do you want to drink Tennessee whiskey in particular? Dickle would be a solid place to start.

>>9874259
I had some Wild Turkey 101 and Laphroaig 10 earlier today. En route to my folks' place where I will probably stick to beer unless someone got me whisky for Christmas.

>>9874259
The best $11 you can spend.

>>9874572
I drank a few glasses, but never really got into it.

>>9875436
Never heard of this brand. Is is worth it?

Gimme the basic gestalt on this bottle right here, boys

>>9874477
Good lad!

Who here has had the Yamazaki 18 year?

>>9875436
This hurts.

>>9874259
got some of this on offer....not impressed, quite astringent finish.......not a great flavour

I bought this just yesterday, is it any good? I just want to know opinions, since i'm most likely not going to open it in years.

>whisky bread.

FAGGGOOOOTTTTTTT

>>9874259
I had a ten year Ledaig today. But I'm not really a whisky drinker, more of a brandy person. Been on a screwdriver tip recently though for some reason

>>9876165
Why are you saving a cheap bottle of scotch like it's something special? Just drink it.

Is it true that Jack Daniels was made by niggers and white slave owner stole the recipe?

>>9874542
>sour mash

Yeah, it's a meme.

Just copped a Laphroaig 10 on offer at Waitrose for bretty cheap.

Planning to make some whiskey sours, anyone got any tips? I know its probably not the ideal whisky for sours but I wanted to cop something that I could still drink straight for after xmas.

>>9876650
I love Laphroaig but I'm not sure I'd like a whisky sour made with it. Please let us know how that turns out.

>>9876613
We Wuz Distillers

>>9875528
A decent blended whiskey for a good price.

>>9876650
>Scotch whiskey
>Whiskey sours
Wat. Does not compute.

>>9876732
>>9876661
>>9876650

just made it and yea it just tastes like a whiskey sour that is extremely smokey. its a bit bizarre not necessarily bad but i think probably goes against what people like about whiskey sours. maybe if it was some sort of sour derivative with more flavors and depth. idk im a bartender not a scientist

>>9874259
what does jap whiskey taste like? is it a distinct flavor, like the difference between bourbon and scotch? or do they copy other countries' styles?

i assume suntory is a meme

How is Toki compared to Hibiki? I want to spend less and also the bottle looks cuter.

>>9877603
It's basically Scotch. Personally I usually like it slightly better than Scotch.

>>9877603
>i assume suntory is a meme
Whoa, everyone back off, we got a whisky expert here

>>9877692
U weeb

>>9877603
Between scotch and Irish whiskey

>>9874702
Vodka is fucking awful

>>9875033
Good shit

is scotch and soda a good drink or a waste of scotch

>>9877768
It's a waste if you use nice scotch. For something like >>9875528 or red label it is perfectly fine. That is assuming that you mean sugary soda. If you meant carbonated water then you could make something decent with nicer whiskies.

Are there health benefits to whiskey? I believe there is an acid in it that helps stave off Alzheimers.

I want a reply for my wine-o aunt, when she tells me my scotch is unhealthy over Christmas dinner, and that I should drink more red wine for heart health.

>>9877888
i mean like johnnie walker black and just soda water

For the weekend

>>9877768
Its fine.

>>9877918
>I want a reply for my wine-o aunt, when she tells me my scotch is unhealthy over Christmas dinner, and that I should drink more red wine for heart health.
Thank her for her concern, pour a glass of red wine, toss a jigger of scotch into it, then down it in front of her.

>>9877768
nope
only water or more scotch should be added to scotch :D
so soda water is fine

>>9877973
Mixing whiskey and wine. That's a fucking cardinal sin.

>>9877988
Just pretend that it's a boilermaker while you drink it with your pinky extended. It's to make her regret pestering you, not to please the liquor gods.

>>9877603
Usually like a speyside. There's a fair amount of variety but even the peated stuff is pretty mild.

>>9875475
The 1.75 liter is $27 at the cheapest liquor joint in a 30 mile radius for me in Jew York. But I that's my drink, Evan Williams.

>>9877950
Muh boy.
I've been saving this bottle so long I had to dust my hands off after taking the picture.

>>9878040
Ouch. The highest I've ever seen it is 24 in the Midwest. Sales and it can go down to 17 or so. Are your other liquor prices inflated to?

>>9874259
That's pretty good stuff OP. Not as good as the nip nectar that I'm drinking tonight though. Nikka Coffey Grain. Fucking incredible and easily the best whiskey for the price. My current whiskey selection

>Pretty sure my wife got me a bottle of Glenlivet 15 for Crimbus...

enjoying this especially as £16 a litre plus christmass promo discounts and loyalty card discounts even cheaper

>>9878428
I didn't mind the bottle of Grants I got from Costco for super cheap. It isn't Earth shattering, but it's alright.

>>9878449
yeah I am poorfag so to me its great next best is Aldis Highland Earl but it not got that slight hint of smoky peatness
I am a Islay fan but cant afford those malts

>>9875475
just got a bottle of this yesterday, hard to drink but for what it's worth it's ok

>>9878467
After watching Ralphy's mini review, I want to grab a bottle of Teachers Highland Cream and give it a try.

>>9878428
Grants is solid for the price desu

>>9876165
Why? You don't think it's going to continue to age in the bottle do you?

>>9874259
I'm gonna end up drinking wine. Might sneak a bottle of whiskey to sip because it's my favorite but any time I drink hard stuff, family just moans incessantly "alcoholic".

>>9878054
It was about $24-25 for the longest time, but they increased the price to $27 a couple months ago.

I walk into all the liquor joints around me just to check the price of Evan Williams, and the price is even higher everywhere else.

When you look at the price of the big bottle of Jack, you know you're getting a bargain lol

A wee dram now that the bairns are a bed.

>>9876613
Just like blacks built the pyramids and cured AIDS before de white debbils stole their shit.

>>9878058
>the they don't sell nikka in my state

>>9879415
Tfw

Anyone heard of this shit before? I'd never seen it before I moved to Taiwan. Here it's in every store. Still haven't tried it. Is it any good or is it a "let's dump our swill on the dumb bastards who don't know what they're wasting money on" whisky?

WHO'S EXPECTING A BOTTLE OR TWO FOR CHRISTMAS!? BET I'M GETTING PIC RELATED!

>>9879473
>tfw a few bad apples in the family mean alcohol is a no go for any kind of gifts

Jack is fine. Overpried beacuse of name brand. The flavor are sweet as fuck. Good for a shot, or even a cocktail. But not all night. Good for girls.
>>9874704

>>9875033
not too shabby. but like most bourbon is getting outta hand with the price

>>9875436

>>9874259
Pogue Master's Select. It's pretty good, but not really worth what it cost. Probably won't buy any more.

>>9874259
i like my whiskey cheap and mixed with coke. that's why i buy shit like jim beam, JD and occasionally gentleman jack when it's on sale.

>>9880014
nothing wrong with being a frugal drunk

>>9879765
>bourbon is getting outta hand with the price
Very true, but at least in bourbon there's still a quality product at a decent price. Pic related.

t. Kentuckian that's traveled everywhere

>>9874259
tried that shit last night, almost half a bottle. tastes like cheap whiskey mixed with flat beer. it's okay.

>>9879473

its fairly nice but nothiing spectacular

>>9878377

Don't make me depressed anon

>>9877515

>not a scientist
No fucking shit.

>>9875475
If you're gonna drink cheap shit this is best choice.

>>9875475
the taste of sadness and regret

>>9879425
Singleton is a brand by one of the big companies that owns multiple distilleries, or something like that. The color of the bottle should correspond to where it was made, and it should also have text saying where it was made on the bottle/package. As far as I know they are all legit distilleries. It is a marketing ploy to try and bring in new people to scotch. I think the idea is to get you in with the Singleton and then upsell you to the other products by each distillery.

>>9878058
What are your nip whisky prices like? For me the Coffey grain is around $60, so I'm extremely hesitant to buy it over the plentiful better-priced scotch offerings.

>>9879473
I think it's 50/50 whether or not I get a bottle of Ardbeg.

>>9880764
60 is about right for the Nikka. I got the Toki on sale for 35. But believe me the Nikka is worth the price.

>>9877950
>>9878049
>>9880764
So anons, did I fall for the Ardbeg meme by not buying Uigeadail? The regular 10 year tastes like they burned down a peat bog covered in bandaids and bottled the smoke. Compared to everything else in the pic it tastes like smoky crap. (Just finished off the Glen Deveron last night which is why it's empty)

>>9881122
If you don't like it, just let it oxidize. I haven't had any of the others in your pic, but I assume that most the speyside and highland malts would be significantly less peaty. The uigeadail would probably be more pleasing to you though.

>>9881187
Thanks Anon! I'll decant it and see if its a bit less harsh in a couple days.

Had to shell out $65 for a bottle of Hibiki. I don't think it's twice as good as a Toki but Toki wasn't available at the liquor store I was at.

>>9879415
Dude join Flaviar. Ends up being $20 per month but you get a couple tasting samplers plus access to all kinds of hard to find liquor. Not just whiskey either. Rum, tequila, vodka, and other stuff too. I really dig it

>>9881353
Do they send monthly tasting samples or something? Can you tell them to send only whisky? Do they sell bottles as well? Finally, do they sell Nikka from the barrel in the states?

>>9881595
Flavia is where I get my Nikka from and yes they sell it in bottles. The tasters are every quarter and they sell a lot of the sampler packs. The last one I bought was the pappy van winkle sampler. Was expensive as fuck but had 3 glasses worth of pappy.

>>9881607
*Flaviar

>>9874259
how much longer until japanese whiskey completely takes over the whiskey market? They underestimated demand by a huge margin

>>9880764
>Singleton is a brand by one of the big companies that owns multiple distilleries, or something like that
Ah. Thanks, that kind of explains it I guess.

>>9881615
Never? Never sounds good.

Friend of mine lives in grorious Nippon and has brought me a few of their whiskeys. They all taste horrible. I'll stick with scotch, thank you.

Christmas cake whisky for Christmas eve

>>9881702
You sound like a real loser.

Drinking Talisker 57°N tonight. Got Lagavulin 16 on the go as well.

Tried Hakushu last month and now trying to polish off these peat monsters I've been drinking this year before I buy some in. I think 2018 for me will be a year filled with that beautiful sweet pear and melon stuff.

Drinking some west cork with Dr pepper tonight. Usually drink it straight but this is cozy. Merry christmas!

>>9881715
Delicious. Excellent choice. I prefer Glendronach 15 but this is good stuff.

>>9882300
seriously dude... figure out your camera

>>9882021
Got a bottle of Talisker Skye for Christmas. I've had it before so I know it's good.
I mostly drink Islay whiskies so this is definitely milder than what I'm used to, but it's not boring.

More like this but not 60$ a 750ml?

4 me it's 2 gingers the best Irish whiskey

Got this. Looking forward.

Rate me.

Not sure where to ask, but figured here would be a good start.
Step dad got into cigars recently and wanted to get him some as a late Christmas gift.
Likes crown royal, has a nice bottle of XR.
Anything that would pair well with that?
Know jackshit about cigars.

>>9875436
What bugs me about this isn't the ice. To each his own in that regard. The fact that he felt the need to line up a perfect snap, on the other hand- eugh.

>>9884095
Easily Glenfiddich's best distillery bottling. I wish they'd do a CS offering someday.

>>9875033

yeboi

It's beer for me

>>9886290
That's not whiskey.

>>9874542
Dickel #12 is the best bang for your buck out of Tennessee. #8 is comparable to JD in taste but half the price

>>9876165
tastes like antiseptic... you've wasted your money

>>9879473
4 Roses SiB in my stocking.

>>9882783
That's $36 in my neck of the woods.

>>9886803
Utah has some great taxes.

>>9874259
Just me and my old friend Jack

>>9874259
Toki is best Japanese whisky for it's price.

Enjoyed a bottle of Small Batch four roses last night. Dank as fuck. I was also gifted a bottle of Chivas regal 12 so I'm looking forward to that:)

Alright, you guys memed me into buying Glenmorangie over the other Glens. I hope I don't regret this.

>>9886945
Four Roses always tastes sulphery to me.

Jefferson's agrees with me. Old Crow Reserve is the best bang for your buck though, cheap as hell and just a dollar or two more than the garbage sister.

>>9875167
I had Laphroaig 16 and it tasted like acetone I was very disappointed

>>9887005
I like it, but I always wake up with a headache after even a few sips

>>9887011
The small batch has quite a different taste compared to the regular bottle.
Jefferson's is lovely though, I'll agree with you.

>>9887112
It WAS the small batch. I still regret not just picking up a ton of craft beer or two to three bottles of their sparkling mead instead.

About to have a layover in Narita Japan. Tell me what whisky to buy. Sub 50~$.

Finally bought some Buffalo Trace after it being recommended to me by everyone and anyone. I was not disappoint. Great whiskey and only $23 over here. It will be replacing old overholt as my go-to affordable booze.

There are two people here. Kids who drink Brandy flavoured Whisky, and people who drink real Scotch.

Don't pretend to be either if you're not. Normal people know you either a pretender or a drinker.

>>9877988
No Manhattans?

>>9884424
Good stuff.

>>9874542
jack daniels tennessee honey is basically a 35% alcohol premixed cocktail

anyone can sip it, it tastes like sugar

1980s bottle.

>>9882021
Is Talisker a peat monster? I've been wanting to try it for some time.

>>9881122
Uigeadail is a great whisky. Still prefere Caol Ila for a slightly milder peat

>>9887522
> Still prefere Caol Ila
You. I like you.

Having a wee dram of Glenfarclas family reserve tonight. Is good.

>>9887471
Powerful but not as monstrous as some of the Islays. It's also very peppery.

>>9887555
Actually looked for the familie reserve, but i had to ship it. Getting a taste for those sherry casks though

>>9875436
Im new to whiskey, whats wrong about this pic?
I thought ice with whiskey was normal.

Got a bottle of The Glenlivet 12 for Christmas. Not bad. I was hoping it was the 15 year, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth as they say.

Its a nice mild change from the peaty fire of the Lagavulin 16 I have been enjoying off and on lately.

>>9887471
No it's more like a peatier Northern Highland (Clynelish, Benriach) if anything. Still worth a try though.
>>9887555
Lucky guy! I've only had one Family Cask and it was a shit one from LCBO in Canada that they were overcharging by $100 that I had to sample from the tasting bar. Really want to find a single sherry Cask glenfarclas

i prefer red label johnnie walker over grant's

>>9888718

...how!? Johnnie red is the devil's piss

>>9888718
You mixing or drinking it straight?

Got a bottle of Macallen 12 for Christmas. Not sure if I'm going to break into it tonight, or hit the tequila. One of the two is going to happen shortly because I need a drink. Or seven.

>>9888258
Way too much, gonna get very watered down very quickly. The whiskey will also get too cold with all that ice. The colder the bevvy the less you taste.

>>9888531
I actually like Glenlivet the best out of the cheaper basic scotches

>>9889089
This. This was me the other day:
>>9879134
I have some of those ice ball molds, but don't use them very often, and this was the first time with the bottle of Lagavulin. The cold demolished all the taste except for the smoke of the peat. Basically made it undrinkable. Very unpleasant anyways.

The Peat Monster

Verdict: Nice

>>9889108
Yeah, I think it's fine. Not spectacular, but decent for the price.

>>9887361
>lemme just mix this whisky
>with more whisky
>huehuehue

I want to try some Canadian whisky, since I'm pretty new to this. Unfortunately I live in Sweden, and we have really strict laws when it comes to alcohol, and unless you special order there's not a huge variety of brands available. Most whiskys you can get here will be some sort of scotch.

Anyhow, which of these brands would be best to try for a representation of Canadian whisky, Lord Calvert, Black Velvet, Royal Canadian, or Seagram's? Those are the only ones available unless I want to special order something.

>>9890144
Black Velvet is probably your best bet.

>>9890144
dare you to try some canadian mist.

>>9889108
I prefer it to Glenfiddich by a little bit too.

I don't like alcohol so much but I work with someone named Yamazaki and it's made me kind of want to try Yamazaki whiskey.
Should I bother? Is it delicious?

Jameson is best cheap whiskey

i am NEW TO WHISKY

what would be a good brand to make whisky sours with

>>9891308
when you're mixing it like half and half with sour mix you can use anything desu

>>9891308
i guess a price range would be good to give. let's say 40 - 60 CAD. i've seen some 12 year old whisky go for 60 so i figure i could probably get something more than half decent for this amount but if im wrong let me know and brutally ass rape me

>>9877918
NOT AWARE OF ANY ACID IN THE WHISKEY ITSELF. HOWEVER IT CAUSES YOUR BODY TO PRODUCE ACETIC ACID WHICH HAS LITERALLY 1000'S OF HEALTH BENEFITS :)

Got some obligatory Tullamore, the basic one for christmass, I'm most likely using it on New year's. But I'm looking for some sales on Black Label.
Also, can anyone rate pic related compared to regular black?

>>9892015
I'm interested in this myself. I like regular black label, but haven't tried the double black yet.

>>9892015
I like the double black more than the black. The normal black label is such a tease with wisps of smoke while the double is more upfront with it.

>>9891328
>whisky sours
>mixing it like half and half with sour mix
That's not what a whisky sour is.

>>9874259

Had some Macallan Select Oak the other day, not too bad with a drop of water.

>>9874259
Got me one of these recently and I have to say it's pretty good.

Is Oban actually any good or is just another overpriced scotch?

>>9894472
why are you guys making my cutefu cry?

For me, nothing beats wild turkey

>>9876650
Too smokey probs to get that sours feel to it. Maybe if you have a large solid icecube it might help curb the smokiness. I dunno for sure though. Makers mark is a solid bourbon for a sours.

>>9877603
If you have the low-casky auchentoshans you have had suntory. Thr color is a little different but they are fairly similar flavor-wise.

>>9877973
Haha please do this.
Playful and not too passive-aggressive while still standing your ground.
Great advice. 8/8

>>9894513
My recent experience icing smokey scotch is that all the other, more delicate flavours get muted, so if anything the smokiness actually gets ramped up.

>>9894511
What gives wild turkey its unique flavor? I have not tried a lot of whisky so I don't know much but I enjoy the flavor of wild turkey compared to most whiskeys. I'd like to explore more that taste like it.

>>9876165
>>9886603
I had some on Christmas Day; it's nice. Send it to me if you're not a fan of it.

>>9894472
Thank you anon, I love it.

>>9894511
Nice, definitely my go-to.
>>9894559
I think it has really amazing mouthfeel. I know they try to produce a more old-fashioned style. They barrel the whiskey at a pretty low proof and minimally dilute it later, which I think is most unique about them.
As for something similar, you'll probably get somewhat similar flavors from a corn>>rye≈barley mash bill in #4 char barrels.
Buffalo Trace sort of fits the bill at the same price point, but I think it is a bit sweeter and a bit less spicy. Wild Turkey also has higher end offerings that I haven't tried, but I imagine would be quite good.

>>9894186
Just add bitters to my drink and it's superior to yours in every way.

bit of young islay is going down a treat

>>9896115

lol seriously?

I sip Ezra brooks. She comforts me in times of pain

I fell for the Jack Daniels Meme, I hated it.
It was too sweet and tasted like corn.
I ended up throwing half the bottle over the fence into the field where the neighborhood mormon kids play.
Hopefully they find it and become alcoholic

Benchmark, $10.99 made by buffalo trace won the 2017 spirit awards in NYC, game changer

>>9874259
Drinkin' the laddie.

I gave in and splurged on a 50ml of Jameson
What am I in for?

Frugality. Why pay more for triple-distilled perfection?

Goddamn pussies. Tullamore tastes like cream. Everyone I gave a taste to at New year's a few years ago agreed.

>>9899742
You misinterpret. A couple of threads ago, an anon was bagging on Jameson, and made a bunch of hyperbolic statements about how bad he thought it was. During the argument, he made the dubious claim that he gave shots of it to 30-40 people at a party to gauge their reactions.

>>9900036
No, it was tullamore. Not Jameson

Tullamore Dew is the worst discount whisky, prove me wrong.

>>9901122
Ballantine's Best would like to have a word.

>>9901122
Tullamore isn't whisky, it's whiskey.

>>9874259
I've got a bottle of maker's 46 my family got me for christmas.

It's not the best I've ever had but it's pretty damned nice for a 94 proof

Only someone autistic would care about something so utterly meaningless.

>Tullamore
It's garbage.
I had a bunch of my friends try shots, and they hated it as well.

New to whisky, recommend some good scotchs and bourbons that don't break the bank please. Not too interested in the Irish or Japs for the moment

>>9902333
Best entry priced bourbon is Willett Pot Still Reserve at about 40 for a 750ml bottle. Best entry scotch is Monkey Shoulder at about 35 for the same size.

>>9874259
Monkey Shoulder tonight out of a brand new set of Glencairn glasses. I got a bottle of Angels Envy for christmas from my parents but I'd like to save that for special occasions if possible

>>9880764
I got the Singleton Glendullan 12 as a gift for my sister and her husband as a bit of a joke (our last name is Singleton)

It was actually pretty good. More than anything I got a sort of chocolatey taste from it. It's not too expensive either, about $30-$40 for a 750ml

What's the most patrician way to drink whisky? Amount included

>>9893401
lmaoooo shoulda capped that

>>9899742
>>9900036
Tullamore, but yes. This anon was given the opportunity several times to perhaps admit he was at least exaggerating the details of his story

>>9879134
niiice. i have an eight-year lagavulin i haven't cracked into yet, excited to crack into it soon

>>9887522
drinks from the trolley dear?

>>9904349
1.5-2oz in a glencairn glass (up to the widest part of the glass). Alternatively straight up in a rocks glass.

>>9904349
Go with a pint of bottom shelf Rye in an enema bag, or you might as well tattoo "Plebeian" on your forehead.

>>9904349
with a straw

1970s.

>>9905510
Whoa. Is that yours? Where did you get it? What does it taste like? How much did it cost? Finally, suppose you were to wake up tomorrow and find you are Haruhiko Kuroda, the governor of the Central Bank of Japan. Given the Japanese people's tendency to invest preferentially in real estate or overseas bonds, explain in 500 words or less your strategy for curbing deflation, using only and all tools within the legal authority of the Central Bank, but not limited to monetary policy.

>>9875436
not sure about all that ice

>>9887462
cool

Islay >>> Everything else
You can't refute this.

>>9905834
Smokey campfire juice. Disgusting. Speyside or die.

Just found this at my local liquor store the other day and holy shit, it's fantastic. Smoothest bourbon I've ever had.

Maker's for a regular night. Angel's Envy if I'm celebrating

>Tfw from Kentucky

>>9874542
If you want cheap whiskey that isn't shit then get Ezra Brooks for around the same price. Way less sugar and more mellow. It hurts less the next day

>>9906432
It's getting super hard to find but the Old Weller Antique 107 is even better

Tried Bourbon for the first time today and had this baby. I am genuinely impressed as a Scotch drinker.

drinking some jim bean honer right now, mixed with some old and stale pepsi
please call me connoisseur from now one

>>9907117
...but that's rye

>>9907204
Yes. I wanted to try Bourbon and Rye. This was the last one I had. But really all of them were fine

Have a nice punchable(tm)!
