I would just try different whiskeys to see what it is that you're into. Maybe you would be more into different malt whiskeys from around the world if you're curious about getting "deeper" into this stuff.

If you want recs for things that taste similar to Jameson, well your next stops should be single pot still Irish whiskey like Redbreast and the spot line from Midleton. Then afterwards try single malt scotches from Auchentoshan distillery, as that's a Scotch distillery founded originally by Irish refugees that does an Irish-style influenced scotch (triple distilled, very light, tropical fruit and vanilla palate, and so on).

Weller special reserve is better than BT and slightly cheaper, but doesn't deserve any hype. I think it all spans from the fact that weller 12 and van winkle 12 are the same mashbill, but selected from different parts/barrels.

Antique 107 is much better, and weller 12 is good if you like oak. Havent tried the full proof, but I did get to try W. L. Weller, which absolutely delivers and is probably the best bourbon ever made.

Laphroaig is peated, which gives it a distinct medicinal quality. It's a very divisive flavor range of scotch, but it's the best intro to peat out there. It's much better fresh than it is once it's been open for a while, so drink it right away if you like it.

I've just been looking for decent wheated bourbons lately, it looks like the only great bottle you can find on a shelf is Maker's Private Select.

I got some evan williams black label for my freezer and I shared it liberally but I found it just so tasty, come the morning after let's just say I didn't remember finishing the bottle, but did find a bucket in the living room. went a little quicker than it could have, not that I didn't enjoy it. so it'll be beer for a little bit, Grolsch was recommended to me, and you can get a 12er of bottles at Street-Name-It's-On Liquors (shop local) for the same price as a 6er of Heineken, which is what it pleasantly reminds me of. Flavor's a bit stronger though, I don't mind. Cheers.

Been blowing through a handle of Lunazul, it's a 100% agave reposado that cost something like 30-35 americans. It's spicier than most tequila, which is a nice change of pace for a while but after the 2/3rds point I'm just diluting 1:1 with water and throwing in a fuckload of lemon bitters.

Knob Creek, Eagle Rare, and Bonded Old Grandad are still somewhat affordable, and come out within the top twelve spots in aggregated review of bourbons.

I have this friend who is a whisky secondary, so to speak
he'll act very interested towards someone who displays a good knowledge of whisky and alcohol, and will pay good money for a whisky, but only if it's a meme whisky, or at least a well known whisky
moreso, he will spend minutes listing the qualities of a bland whisky and won't drink anything that's anything more than slightly peated
I keep making him try the stuff I have on hand, as I often have new stuff on hand either because of leftovers from work or because I was curious and bought an unknown, cheap-ish bottle, and while being corteous and polite he'll only really look like he's enjoying a whisky if it's a (very) light bodied, floral, sweet spyeside whisky, with just a hint of smoke and no peat
he's also a big fan of japanese whisky, and will struggle to find an overpriced Nikka for the satisfaction of having gotten another such weak-spirited whisky
I honestly find it more and more difficult to take him seriously lately

also sorry for the blog post, I'm drinking Ben Bracken blue label and Oban 14 lately, try the Ben Bracken if you can find it, it's dirt cheap, at least where I live

Thanks. I guess in terms of the Islay stuff, I'm not necessarily looking for another Laphroaig, just looking to stay in the same general ballpark. I was eyeing the Ardbeg, plus I've had it before years ago, but don't remember what it's like.

For the Rye I was hoping to grab something that's, well, very much Rye. I've so far had Bulleit and Woodford, but I know the latter has a relatively low mash bill, and I like the former a lot but am getting the impression that it's still relatively mild.

Laphroaig 10 year
Ardbeg 10 year
and some Disaronno to make godfathers with.

Laphroaig is very smokey, bit salty, with a bit of sweetness and a taste I had trouble placing. smells like paint or burnt wood with a bit of plastic. Tasted good, but its an acquired taste certainly, very enjoyable

Ardbeg is a bit more classy, doesn't have the unknown taste and doesn't smell as much like burning painted wood. What you may find unpleasant in the laphroaig (I don't find any of it bad, its a nice scotch for what it is, and my first islay) isn't here, but its still smokey/ peaty as hell and tastes like you're at the sea and getting splashes of salt water into your drink, which is the same as the Laphroaig. Worth the high price, pretty similar but more refined I'd say.

I only made a godfather with the amaretto, with the laphroaig as the scotch. Probably used too much amaretto, so it was a bit sweet for my tastes but I was shocked at how well the flavors mixed, the almond sweetness mixing with the smoke of the scotch, but I should've gone 2 parts scotch and 1 part amaretto, as it was too sweet to drink on its own as it was, but the equal part god father would be nice for a dinner drink I think

>Godfather

Haven't heard of this, I'd like to try it since I love both Amaretto and Scotch, just never thought to combine them. With a quick google it looks like the base recommendation is 3:1.

>>14141175
Yeah even with too much amaretto is was pretty good, just better with some food due to how sweet it was, with the proper ratios it'd probably be a nice drink on its own or after dinner as well as during

I'm going to cut out the gin since I have almost an entire bottle of The Botanist left. What's the last thing I should get that won't put me above 250?

If I have friends over I have Jack Daniels and Maker's Mark
If I'm drinking along I have Wild Turkey
I never buy anything else, I don't understand the hobby. As more time passes I get more cynical about drinks and I conclude that I don't really enjoy the flavor, I just enjoy the alcohol content

I often just drink Jim Beam white. Yesterday I bought Woodford Reserve. Totally disappointed in it. It's more balanced, higher proof, older, more complex, but the flavors it does have are kinda weak. I AB'd the Beam and the Woodford and really don't think the Woodford is worth double the price. I think Woodford is very overrated. It's not bad, it just feels like it should be in the low 20s, not $40. WT101 is definitely better.

Also, everyone seems to hate Maker's Mark and say it's overpriced, but I find it to be a pretty good flavored, unique bourbon. I swear it tastes exactly like caramel corn to me. It has the typical bourbon flavors, but the proportions are not something I've had in other bourbons. I could probably pick it out of a lineup blind.

Not asian either but I have Gilbert syndrome and while it can be frustrating not being able to take alcohol like a Russian sailor, it's also what's going to save my ass from alcoholism because it forces me to not go over my 3 drink maximum.

[Anonymous No.14142483]

Woodford is just rebottled Jack Daniels, anyone who drinks it is a pleb

Maker's is a wheated bourbon so it inherently tastes a bit more mellow than rye bourbons. 46, Private Select, and Cask Strength are all great bottles, regular Maker's is pretty meh.

[Anonymous No.14142739]

You're generally correct. Almost every single person who drinks liqour does so with mixed drinks and ends up drowning all the "flavor" from said liqour. And yeah, it makes no sense. Why dont people just buy high end beer or wine? Well, thats because people are retarded and dont realize that doing mixed drinks actually takes from the smoothness of the drink (no matter how well its mixed) and from my own experience (from the texture and taste) makes me want to prematurely vomit before I even get drink. Mixing drinks (with liqour) is about as retarded as eating candy with alcohol and just upsets your stomach.

I meant more there are almost no flavors after the initial sweetness fades, but you've still got 5-10 seconds of ethanol on the palate because the initial sweetness isn't super long

Go to stores and look. They show up periodically. The bevmo's around me in socal seem to be pretty good at having them in stock.

[Anonymous No.14143521]

>>14143466
Why the fuck are you shopping at BevMo if you live in SoCal? BevMo is overpriced as shit and you have a bunch of Total Wines down there and they actually have competitive pricing.

[Anonymous No.14143929]

>>14143521
Total Wine has better prices, but Bevmo has an online store that actually tells you if something is in stock. If it's something that TW gets irregularly they put pic related on the status which basically boils down to "it might be in stock or it might not, you have to stop by and find out."

Bevmo prices are anywhere from a few dollars more to $20 dollars more that TW. I'll willingly drop a couple extra dollars on a bottle as long as I don't have to waste my time driving to the liquor store every week in the offchance they have what I'm looking for.

Have you ever tried calling up the store and asking them if they have X in stock?
