Bought a bottle of this recently. It's already below half full while almost all my other bourbons I've had for months longer are still at half or just below. It's really fucking good. It has a classic bourbon flavor in the beginning but then the finish is so nutty, woody, and creamy, it's like an orgasm. Bright fruit with cinnamon on the start, mellows into a burned sugar that then swells into a tart chocolate finish.

One of the best bourbons I've ever had, better than Buffalo Trace, and only moderately more expensive than it as well (it's around 40$ where I live). Don't go telling everyone about it though, I don't want to see it skyrocket in price.

I've never seen prices go down but I have seen prices jump overnight. It's funny watching a whiskey that you would get for $25 a bottle suddenly become a premium whiskey for $50+. It's still the same whiskey. I just stop buying it. I have a hard rule not to pay more than $30 for a bottle.

Personally, or historically speaking? Historically, there's a lot of precedent for current bottom-shelf brands being top shelf brands decades ago. Shit like JTS Brown, Kentucky Gentleman, and Old Crow used to be a lot more expensive.

The regular stuff is good like 86 and 100 but everything else like whisky row is just the same shit in a "premium " package because premium bourbon consumers spend a lot and only are about packaging.

It probably wasn't a craft beer since that scene is still super small in Japan, and thanks to consolidation of all major industries during WWII there are still only four major breweries in Japan, so honestly it can't be that hard to find it. 99% chance it's made by Sapporo, Asahi, Kirin, or Suntory.

March of this year. I bought a new Japanese distilled whiskey.
I packed it in a small Chinese oak barrel.
Japan is hot in summer. Taiwanese whiskey takes advantage of the summer heat. But I didn't have the courage.
I put the barrel in the refrigerator. It's winter in Karuizawa.
When Japanese summer is over, I take it out of the refrigerator.
And next March. One year after I barreled it, I would swallow it.

Maybe it's just because I don't drink much

[Anonymous No.14618160]

This is 7.95 a handle at a local liquor store. I only have a bit left and I'm planning on finishing it off today and quitting tomorrow for the foreseeable future.

I don't get withdrawals or anything when I stop drinking but I'm about to turn 25 and I know it's a huge financial and physical drain on my life. Maybe in a year or so I'll have a couple of beers with the boys.

I bought a barrel at an online shop in Japan.
The shop also sells oak bottles.
sorry. I don't know if it's sold in America.

The price difference for me is $25.
What else is around $48 for you? I'm sure there's plenty of single malts with far more intensity at that price range.

[Anonymous No.14621393]

>>14621340
pricing is a bit weird in my area, but I remember glenmorangie 10 being around 40 bux, most of the single malts 10-12 were in the 50-60 range, i just went with green label because it was 50 bux and I didn't want to put the cask strength bourbon back.

Top shelf near the scotch in liquor stores on the side of town with all the doctors. It's like a drink make with coconut rum but reasonably high proof single grain scotch. Smooth as corn liquor but refined.

Tried the Hardy grand champagne XO, was like drinking pastries and jam. I think I preferred the fine champagne though, had a bit more diversity of flavor.

Birthday's tomorrow, what should I open?

I'd have more time for cognac if aging wasn't such a joke. Even XO stuff is under aged and tastes boozy, and they ask for an arm and a leg on account of how old it is.

There are lots of good aged cognacs, just don't buy anything that has a cameo in a rap song

Actually aged, or aged 10 years and priced like a 18 year old scotch?

Any personal recommendations? I’ve only had Hennessey, but so far I do like it. The rap songs weren’t completely wrong.

Best cognac for the money in every price range is Hardy, but they're very tiny and have limited distribution. The XO typically runs 100 or so bucks, but the VSOP and Legend blend are very nice
Also recommend Hine VSOP
Best cheap cognac is Paulet VSOP

The other day I was about to grab my usual bottle of Evan Williams but instead went for a bottle of some Smart & Final brand whisky (technically its called "H&H 1871 Canadian Whisky" but we aint playing those games).

Even for only $14, I do not recommend. Get anything else. Evan Williams, Jim Beam, whatever. I know, what else did I expect? A grocery store brand whisky? Well, I was expecting it to taste shitty, and I typically have a good tolerance for shitty tasting things, but this one still caught me offguard. I felt as much regret as one can for $14 after that first sip. That said, I'm chugging it now and its ok. 5 stars

I agree with your review if you're just drinking it on its own.
It definitely helps for soju to be paired with some type of food. Traditionally, a lot of Korean BBQ.
It works well with mixers too, since its so mild tasting. Koreans even like mixing it in with their beer.
But yeah, I agree, on its own, its a somewhat boring flavor.

According to Australian guidelines, which are conservative, 7 per week is fine. But you're supposed to drink that in 2-3s, so technically you're binging.

UK gets 8 per week.
USA get's 14 for men and 7 for women. Neither UK/AUS have gendered recommendations any more.
