Someone should fix the whisky info document part about rye. Rye whisky requires 51% rye content, not 90%. Also, if I am not mistaken, using 100% rye requires additives during the fermentation process, which is why MGP and others only go up to 95%.

I can't seem to find a whisky that I actually like.

Jack Daniel's tastes like shit.
Erza Brooks is so fucking sour.
Johnie Walker black is okay but sometimes too fucking smokey.

I liked some Japanese stuff but I can't get that anymore.

I'm a fan of Defiant out of NC. 100% malted barley and a long time in the barrel make it taste like a lumberyard, which is something I really like.

Westland is great, I love their peated version.

I prefer Old Grandad as I like spicy rye whiskey, plus the price point can't be beat. For a sweeter, lighter bourbon I get 4 Roses. Again, this is driven by price points. On the lower end I also like Evan Williams and Jim Beam. They are all good places to start to hone down your taste preferences.

[Anonymous No.9731149]

>>9731055
Could you expound your thoughts on Old Grandad?
I've only tried it a couple times, but it seemed a lot like Evan Williams (by that I mean I got nutty notes in addition to the vanilla, caramel, in similar proportions) with a touch more spice. Maybe the spice wasn't as pronounced since I was coming from rye whiskey, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

[Anonymous No.9731497]

>>9731149

So I looked up the actual mash bill for the two and came up with this.

Old Grandad :63% CORN, 27% RYE, 10% MALTED BARLEY

Evan Williams : 78% CORN, 10% RYE, 12% MALTED BARLEY, BARREL CHAR #3 OR #4

So I guess you're pretty much right saying that they both have similar characteristics, and that Grandad isn't nearly as spicy as a straight rye whiskey.

I thought that Grandad would have a higher rye bill than that but it looks like I've been mistaken. TIME TO DO SOME MORE HOMEWORK!

So recently for my birthday a relative got me a bottle of Buffalo Trace. I absolutely loved it the first night I was drinking it, but since then it just tastes like I'm drinking liquid habanero peppers. In fact almost all Whiskey now tastes nothing but pure spiciness. I seem to have honestly lost taste for everything liquor related except for fucking hard ciders which I really don't feel like getting laughed at for ordering

Should I just kill myself now?

Ok probably a dumb question from a liquor newbie

So I want to make highballs because I hear they’re really popular in Japan and that they use yellow label Kakubin. But I’ve heard Kaku highball is described as sweet being mixed with just “soda”. I figured it might have been club soda used but that wouldn’t make it sweet right? Really just wondering what kind of mixer to use, rather not use Coke because I want to taste the whiskey too

Try Glenmorangie Original (10yo). It's clean and fairly sweet. I'm not the biggest fan myself, but it's easy to drink and even people who don't drink whisky tend to like it.

tried the weller 107 it's really good if you can get your hands on it. people found out it has the same mash bill as pappys so it's getting harder and harder to find. In my home state of OR botttles of regualar weller are pretty common but weller 107 are rare and weller 12 are poached by out of staters who flip them for massive profit. A bottle of 107 in OR is worth 26$ online it's 80$ so the local liquor store owner puts sighns up whenever he gets a shipments of weller 12 (the really rare one) saying he dosin't have any becouse people can see on the state run liqour site who's getting what, so he can only sell to just locals he trusts.

If you want a scotch that is "close" to bourbon and not to pricey, Monkey Shoulder. It's not too pricey either, so that's probably a good one to start with.

It has to do with the way your phone handles metadata.

It takes a picture, stores it as-is, and then attaches metadata saying which side is "up". Since 4chan strips metadata from pictures (mostly to prevent people finding out your address through location metadata), the picture "forgets" which side is up and it just gets posted the way it was taken.

Laprhroaig 10 is almost always on offer for 25, and can be a bit of a punch in the face so try some in a bar or something before to make sure you like it. The Select is terrible, don't be tempted. Highland Park 12 has a little smoke to it so would be worth a go, as well as Jura Superstition if you liked Origin.

It tastes terrible. When I read the reviews and drink a long to them I think. "Okay so smokey and complex means it's awful" I like bourbon and rye whisky the most. It tastes smooth and I can drink it anytime I want as much as I want.

I also notice with beer, the better a rating it gets the worse it actually tastes. Like IPAs with really strong hops that are barely drinkable get really high ratings, but anything that goes down easy gets an F.

Whiskey is pretentious. It’s liquid “wear a fedora and carry a cane at school” core

So far I've only tried JW Black Label and Jura.
I found Black Label to be a bit too intense in terms of flavour for me. But after trying Jura, which was just fucking tasteless, I could appreciate Black Label so much more.

I ordered Woodford Reserve Bourbon. It's coming on Tuesday.

Any more whiskeys you'd recommend that won't break my wallet?

If you're into bourbon and want to gradually ease into scotch you should try monkey shoulder. It's inexpensive, tastes great, and is the most bourbon like scotch I've ever tried.

at that price range, you have a lot of choices
i've already mentioned a couple of my favorites - Springbank and Aberlour. i'd go with an older vintage from one of them, but it really depends on what you like
you can get a lot of good bottle at about half the cost of that Glenlivet

first of all, don't drink when you're in that mindset. Sort out your own feelings until you can communicate them earnestly to her. If you can't reach her with that and she leaves, well, come back and we'll drink one for the good times.

No more moping after that, you get yourself sorted out and move on to the next story.

I mistyped, my bad.
I meant worth. If the guy is drinking so much of it over other swill, I wonder what makes it his choice. For example, I'm happy that Evan Williams is pretty cheap but also drinkable compared to other cheap bourbon. I wonder if that scotch is similar.

If you have a good liquor shop nearby, try independent bottlings, sometimes they have really good deals without the marketing bullshit that big companies spend money on. Also allows you to ask for advice from people in the shop. There's a young Highland Park bottling that comes around once in a while that's less than £30 and very good. There's a Bunnahabhain 8yo bottling going around right now as well that's very good. I'm hearing good things about the Ardbeg An Oa, but haven't tasted it myself. I got the Talisker Skye off Amazon's black friday sale because it was £23 but it's really not that good.
