How are you doing today /ck/? What are you drinking and what's the occasion?

Enjoying some Beer, Whisky, Cocktails, other spirits? Whether you like something specific or are just trying finding the best cheap stuff to drown away your sorrow, let's talk about it.

I've been thinking about buying some scotch. Any recommendations? I'm not picky, but my favorites tend to slant toward a sherried flavor. Been thinking about getting pic related. Anyone have experience with the Glenfarclas 17?

Pretty much any Glenfarclas is awesome if you like sherries malts. The 15 is about equal in quality to the 17 IMO while being a bit cheaper (they're different but I don't really like one more than the other) but if you can afford the 21, it's stellar.

I'm drinking some Dal Forno amarone with my gf to celebrate a promotion. Got half a bottle of Lagavulin Distiller's Edition left I'll probably sip on later. Cheers anons!

[Anonymous No.6664093]

>>6663535
I've only had the 12 because I'm stingy, but it was good. A good degree of complexity and a very "dense" flavor. Glenfarclas seems to me to be generally well made and worthwhile. They also do their distillation in a different (older) way which produces more of a toasted caramelized flavor, which adds and extra richness and is relatively unique. Springbank has something similar.

there's a bunch of things you could try. Make sure to eat like 2 hours before you drink, drinking on an empty stomach is a terrible idea. If you generally stick to beer maybe the sheer amount of liquid is exacerbating the issue, you could switch to shots and just try to down some as quick as possible to skip the buzzed phase entirely. If that doesn't work, you could try the opposite and just try very slowly increasing the amount you have throughout the night to bring it on in a gentle manner. Idk man, it's your body I can't tell you how it works.

it's 40% alcohol so it'll be well preserved, but remember it is a fruit liqueur so the fruit extract may have lost its freshness over the years. It will probably taste less bright and orangey and more syrupy, but it'll still be safe and probably indistiguishable in cocktails.

Alcohol has a way of bringing out your honest opinions, no matter how harsh. You probably vented your honest opinions of the guy. It sounds like it was a sketchy thing for him to get involved with, and maybe you might be embarrassed to hang out with him after he got caught in with that.

That's a bit of a shame since you could have gotten like 2 bottles of some nice and old-ish single malts for the price of that. But at least you have a parent who wants to buy you nice things. If you haven't opened it and wouldn't feel bad about it you might try to sell it.

Sometimes when you get mad you just shout things that you know will hurt the other person, and alcohol can lead to some vicious rage.

what the fuck do i do to make this gin tasty?

Tried em both straight...they taste like fucked up vodka. I'll drink straight vodka all day but this shit is nasty.

Is gin and coke a thing? Or is it gonna taste like sweet pinetrees?

I didn't like Beefeater straight either. Shit's nasty. But it's drinkable with ice, soda water and lemon juice. Sugar optional.

It's not really supposed to be drank neat, the taste is pretty flat if you do. I didn't think it was bad or anything, just boring. You're supposed to make gin cocktails with it, the martini I thought turned out especially well.

[Anonymous No.6678699]

>>6678100
Gin and Tonic is basically THE way to drink gin, to the point where manufacturers pair their gin with special tonic waters, and gin and tonic combinations are tested in gin competitions.

I also like drinking it with Rose's Lime Juice as a Gimlet (in summer, I then sometimes drown that in soda water and ice as a refreshing longdrink).

Drink some water, nigga. I drink tons of cheap whisky, and even though I'm hungover as shit most mornings, I still pee clear.

It also helps on the rare occasions that I puke, puking straight whisky and bile sucks, puking whisky and bile diluted by lots of water sucks less.

I just bought a pint of Presidente brandy. This is my favorite cheap brandy. I've been able to get it for $10-11 a 750mL before but recently I've only seen it in 1L bottles and it's closer to $20 so I don't get it.


I drank a pint of E&J VSOP last night because it was the only thing the liquor store by my house has. That stuff is pretty nasty. I paid $6.99 for this pint which was what I paid for the E&J and this is way better.


I would pick Presidente over: E&J, Paul Mason, Korbel, St. Remey every single time.

>>6678100

Gin with tonic and lime juice is really good. Gin in grapefruit juice is good. I'll order a martini sometimes when I'm out somewhere but I've never made one myself. It's just gin and dry vermouth though. I took a shot of room temperature beefeater once at a party because literally all the other alcohol was gone and it was super disgusting. I like gin but I would never drink it straight.

As long as it's not in a plastic bottle, it will be fine forever. Some of the flavors may lose potency, or develop an off flavor, but it'll be perfectly safe to drink.

It doesn't go bad either, per se, but it leaches the plastic and it end up tasting like paint thinner.

It is really good.

If you like rum, try pyrat, appleton estate 12+ year, and most of the aged rums.

[Snapper Carr No.6679054]

It is my favorite go-to for mixing and sipping, solid price and tastes great. I'd say try it.

asked around, heard gin was the shit.

didn't know it tasted like pinetrees tho, jesus

>>6678651
mixed it with tonic today and some ice cubes. tasted worse, fuck me.

>>6678753
that sounds like some hood ass shit right there lol

>>6679045
fantastic stuff. heavy on the vanilla.

pyrat which was also mentioned, is heavy on the orange taste. almost to the point of being an orange liquer. also nice stuff.

at a similar price, you find shit like mount gay extra old, cruzan single barrel, appleton estate 12 year old. appleton especially is really good at that price.

up your budget a bit and then you get into ron zacapa, brugal, etc. fantastic stuff.

if you can find it, havana club puts out a good product. their 7 year old bottling is the motherfuckin tits.

for mixing, can't go wrong with shit like myers dark, goslings, flor de cana 3/4yr i forget (the white rum), havana club white, old monk (indian rum, pretty good)

stay away from bacardi black, unless you want your rum to taste like tussin. never buyin when fucked up again looool

Just a little question. I don't drink often; usually once every two weeks. But when I do drink, it's typically for at least 12 hours (starting at say four in the afternoon until four at night). Then around two weeks later, I get really strong cravings for booze.

Am I addicted to alcohol or is it like craving a nice steak or something similar?

You may have just conditioned your brain to expect to drink every two weeks. I get the same ways most Fridays, and basically I expect to get a case of beer and drink on Friday. I wouldn't say your addicted until you start drinking more often or can't say no.
