infinity whiskey

[Anonymous No.11553661]

Anyone have an infinity whiskey bottle?

Basically, when you're almost finished with a bottle of whiskey (any kind) you pour the last 1-2 shots into a separate bottle. Over time, this bottle will have a different blend of whiskeys you like and will develop its own unique flavor profile.

I've been making mine the past few months and just tried a glass well, it's surprisingly complex and very good.

[Anonymous No.11553667]

That sounds terrible. I did something like this when I was 13 stealing liquor from my dad. Wasn't good.

if anything it's a way to let the last remnants of a bottle not go to waste. and its fun tasting the way the blend changes after adding a new whiskey

I need to get a bottle to start mine.

My collection at the moment is
>Glendronach 15
>Glendronach 21
>Dalwhinnie 15
>Glenmorangie 10
>Glenmorangie La Santa
>Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
>Tamnavulin Tempranillo Cask

I have other bottles too, but I'm not sure if I would put them in. Gentleman Jack, JD Single Barrel, Buffalo Trace, Bulleit Rye, Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Ardbeg Uigeadail. I doubt id add anything peated, as I think that might take over the whole bottle, but im on the fence about the bourbons.

this has actually been a common practive for hundreds of years to elevate cheap alcohol. the original idea was that you pour a little amount of premium/expensive alcohol into a high amount of meh one.
aka the original blend. next time you suckle on a "premium" Johny Walker remember this. has nothing to do with being a filthy kike.

If its all good whiskey going in, then it should hopefully be still good once its mixed. And if its only 25ml out of a 700ml bottle, its not too bad.

I dont plan on buying too many more bottles for a while though. A lot of the ones I have are at least 50% full, so perhaps I should wait until they are almost gone, and i have more bottles to add to an infinity bottle.

That’s not how it fucking works anon. What makes a whisky good is the balance of flavors. Mix different whiskeys together and you throw off that balance.
That being said I’m sure your experiment is actually kind of fun and interesting and the result is likely palatable

I did have one but it tasted like shit. The Bailey's in it didn't work at all with the red wine and different lends of scotch

>>11553826
The worst you'll end up with is a slightly out of balance whiskey then. Its still going to be drinkable. Some people will try to mix it in such a way that it stays balanced. Others just put some of everything in there.

Personally I dont mind losing a shot from every bottle I buy. Its not a big deal, and you get something interesting from it.

I do this with unpeated scotch right now, the average age is about 8 years old and the proof is just over 100 pf.

>Glen Garioch Sherry Single Cask
>Glenburgie 18 Douglas Laing
>Edradour 10 Sherry Signatory CS

I'd say stick to similar grains. Do an infinity bottle for barley spirit, one for rye and one for a blend of everything but make sure they work together and won't clash with off notes.
>>11553712
I only ever the last dram in a good bottle in one anyhow so it's a bit easier that way. Plus a bad whisky with a strong single note could make a blends character even more enhanced and complex if you look at it that way.

In the week I might have one or two drinks. If I have guests, I'm normally happy to offer them a nice whiskey too as long as I know they will appreciate it.

I dont think I'd ever have enough different bourbons/ryes/anything else to make an infinity bottle with.

I am a curious how mixing rum and whiskey would turn out. I've got 5 or 6 rums. I might make a small measure, perhaps 10ml of each drink and see what happens.

Yeah. I havent tried any expensive rums. But the Zacapa was 40 euros for a litre in duty free which was a great price. And for that price its good. Normally more like 60 for 700ml, in which case, not great value. The XO...i thought it was nice, but not life changing.

Plantation XO gets good reviews for a reasonable price, so if I was to get another, it would be that.

In the context of food and beverage, infinite generally means it doesn’t run out.

This thread is for the discerning and sophisticated alcoholic denying they have an actual problem. So, creating a "hobby," coveting every drop of prescious booze, helps the mind justify they don't really have a problem because "it's for the taste."

First time I heard about it... Sounds like a rather stupid idea honestly.

For it to make sense you would have to drink a lot. Like alcoholic level a lot.
Otherwise you are just oxidising what is left of the original whiskey.

Why "waste" the last dram anyway? Unless it's a bottle you don't really like all that much.

On a side note ... Dalmore 12 years ... add a splash of water. It really helps it to bloom.

Dalmore use slick, well designed branding to charge premium price for poor quality whisky.

Its a shame its so overpriced. Id love to buy a bottle as they look good, but its really not worth the money.

It's called hiding in plain sight. Not all alcoholics are winos living under a bridge.

The cheapest 12 year old whiskey is about 30€, and the Dalmore is 40-50€. Wouldn't really call it overpriced. Not worth 50€, but if you can get it for 40-45€ I'd give it a taste.

Its about £40 in the UK. I think there are much better £40 whiskeys out there.

If it was in a decent sale, id consider it, but from my experience, its not worth the price.

You should see how Richard Paterson talks up blended whiskey. It's like a carny hustler working a rube.

I've been drinking and smoking since I was 12, and going to bars since I was 16. Things were different back in the 90's

Homeopathy is snake oil science that says adding a small amount of something to water can imbue the water with the properties of that thing. Basically, it's diluted medicine (or herbs and spices that may or may not have medicinal purposes). I was comparing this to the shitty belief that adding a small amount of a decent liquor to a shitty liquor is somehow going to produce a decent liquor.

You got so sad and hurt, though, that it makes me believe that you believe in this nonsense and that makes me sad, too. Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you, champ.

Discovery of the night: mixing half cheap-ass Dewar's and half cheap-ass Evan Williams produces something very interesting and tasty.

I recently had a Plantation 20th anniversary XO or something like that. Found it fucking great.

Googled around, should be this: "Plantation Barbados XO Extra Old 20th Anniversary"

Costs around 40€ here.

Went out and got the Talisker 10, thx m8s.

How many tries do you give something to find out if it grows on you? I've heard people say they hated something at one point, and then liked it later.
I haven't tasted it yet but just in case.
