Whiskey

What are you currently drinking? What's your favorite?

I'm drinking pic related, opened my first bottle of it today. It's fantastic, like drinking a rich dessert. It could well become a favorite. Otherwise my favorites are Macallan 10, Lagavulin and Laphroaig.

[Anonymous No.14509365]

>>14509357
Normally I'm a scotch man (I like Macallan 12 typically) but lately have been getting Four Roses bourbon. God damn. Americans in general have shit beer but this bourbon man, so good like you wouldn't believe. I don't live in the US and it's about $40/bottle for me but it's worth it

[Anonymous No.14509369]

All I have now is this weird no name Irish whiskey I mostly got because of the bottle but the bottle sucks at pouring.

No it’s not, but you’re also not entirely wrong. Whiskey (all varieties) have been and continue to be extremely popular across the world. I’ve worked corn fields in rural Indiana and most low income folks love to buy cheap nasty whisky blends and mix it with coke They’re not doing it to be cool, it’s just a part of their lives like vodka in Eastern Europe. Ditto for middle class but they go more towards Wild Turkey and other popular $20-25 half handles. What you attempted to describe are the faggots who come into these threads and post their $80+ single malt bottle collections from their shitty apartments and dorm rooms as they desperately sniff their own farts and get high on how sophisticated and grown up they are. It’s fucking painful and I hate it and it’s super fucking obvious but nobody ever calls them out because most of the people who post here are passive aggressive losers who don’t want to jeopardize the small bit of social interaction they eek out. Drinking whiskey doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a faggot trying to be cool but if you’d could survey the population that drinks nicer bottles neat there’s definitely be a significant percentage that is doing it for the same reasons novels buy fedoras and girls dye their hair ugly colors.

I had a strange experience with Glenmorangie recently. I had opened a bottle and been enjoying it just fine, but after about a week or so I had another glass and it was like drinking something else completely. It was suddenly tasting much more rich and complex. Suddenly I was understanding why whiskey reviews are so gay and pretentious as they are, cuz it tasted just like that. Is there some science to this?

>>14509859
Only the Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond is available here, I guess I could look to privately import but the shipping and tax would make it so fucking expensive. But I'm curious about it.

oxidation, tends to have the most pronounced effect of younger whiskeys
I had the exact opposite happen to me with Laphroaig 10, had a very pleasant line of sweetness to carry the smoke/peat, then after a few weeks tasted exclusively like peat and ash

A possible explanation for both of your experiences is simply different flavors lingering on your tongue from different foods when you sample the whiskies at different times. This can have an ENORMOUS impact on flavor perception.

The best way is to go to a whisky bar, pick a price limit, and work your way down the menu buying half pours of each. Take a photo or jot down the names of any bottles you like.
Then find the cheapest whisky store with a decent range around you / online and buy bottles from that list when they are on sale for casual drinking.
When you reach the end of the menu either bump up your price limit and start again, or swap bars.

Second place goes to group buying with friends.

Third goes to events, whisky tourism, and formal clubs / memberships.

Fourth is buying a different bottle every time.

Last place goes to buying whisky at normal bars.
