Didn't like that one. Color was weak and tasted a lot like a cheap scotch

Most recent was Blanton's single barrel which has become my go-to

>>10040654
>tasted a lot like a cheap scotch
Really? I've never yet had a Japanese whiskey that tasted anything like scotch. They always taste like some sort of burning garbage.

>>10040674 again
Oh, my most recent was probably Laphroaig, whatever their current basic "cask strength" bottling is. Lately I've been finishing off my Hennessy XO.

Japanese whisky is like German Bourbon. They don't have peat bogs in Japan, so that shit tastes like 'caramel' 'fruity' garbage like MaCallan 18 oak.

>>10040654
>color was weak

found the casual

>>10040654
Much Caramel coloring

Does scotch really get good if I start paying $60 a bottle for it?

>>10041407
if you don't like scotch it doesn't matter how much you pay for it.

Just order a glass of Lagavulin at a whiskey bar. If you hate it then stick to burbon or rye

My last bottle was Lagavulin 16. I don't know if it was worth $100, but it was pretty fucking good. I drank it in about 4 or 5 days.

Ardbeg An Oa. Hope it doesn't end up replacing the 10yo. Not bad, but really doesn't pack the same punch.

I like jap whisky

I'm a bit of a newbie, but any single malt scotch is usually good. Finlaggan's just about 40 bucks. Good price considering there are one-malts selling for thousands.

>>10042042
Nice, never seen that brand. How is it?

>>10041407
Not so much if it's blended. There are a few different varieties of single malt. The less peaty malts are more approachable. Glenlivet is a decent starter.

>>10040654
>Color was weak
No shit it's only bourbon Cask blend shit, an overpriced one at that.
>>10041407
Yes but that's not one of them. Where are you from?
>>10041435
I've talked to reps before and each one tells me it's not, core lineup will be 10, An Oa, Uige and Corry.
>>10041427
Try the 8 Year if you get a chance, I liked it much more than the 16 Distillers Reserve and it's over $50 cheaper.
>>10042042
If your able to get Finlaggan or Ileach Cask Strength, they're affordable young CS whisky with some good palate.
>>10042377
It's basically young Lagavulin however they're not allowed to say it is because of restrictions.

How do I go in a liquor store alone without feeling like an alcoholic?

>>10043526
Through the front door.

t.weeb or some fag who loves Lost in Translation

Yoichi single malt. It’s nice. To be honest I don’t know what’s a good whisky should taste like.

>>10043526
Be honest, do you ever leave your house? What kind of fucking question is that?

How much do I have to pay to get a decent Scotch with lots of peat? Where do I start?

>>10040628
Nikka Coffey Grain was my last purchase. Got it about 2 weeks ago and have already ordered 5 more bottles. The best whiskey I've ever had.

Bought a pint of Jameson to celebrate a promotion

Do what >>10041423 said. Go to a whiskey bar and tell the bartender you're a newfag who wants to see what his palette is before he blows $100 on a bottle.

Does whiskey ever get good or we all just pretending?

>>10046106
At right around the $100 mark. Yes it does.

>>10043526
>I am an autistic adult with the mentality of a child

>>10044067
Or maybe he likes Japanese whisky, you fucking retard.

>>10045699
Try some different types of whisky to begin with. A knowledgeable bartender would be a big help with this.

Try some bourbon, some rye, and some scotch and see what you like. Once you get a baseline, try some varieties of that particular type of whisky.

The height of hilarity.

>>10041407
Why are you posting a 25 dollar bottle for it?
There's plenty of great scotch in the 35-50 dollar range. Balvenie 12 DW, Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig 10, Laphroaig QC, Glenfiddich 15, Macallan 10/12, Glenfarclas, Aberlour 12. etc

Why is Makers Mark such shit?

>>10046165
I’ve never been to a bar before. Are we talking like the bar at chili’s or is there a certain kind you need to go to

>>10046419
A whisky bar, dear boy, a whisky bar.

>>10046419
Whiskey bars specialize in, surprisingly, whiskey and will have a better selection than your average watering hole. Google can help you find one near you.

>>10043526
Take a shower? Wear clean clothes? Go there sober?

>>10046432
>>10046433
Huh, sounds interesting but I avoid bars because I don’t like being surrounded by degenerates

>>10045561
Nice, Jameson is a great normie whiskey

>>10045730
Fuck off back to Portland, kiddo

>>10044067
Actually I bought it because nips seem to artfully craft things

Where would you want to see a new distillery open, lads?

>>10049127
Scotland. They just don't have enough.

Not my favorite.

>>10049243

Got some Woodford Double Oaked, pretty nice, smells like brown sugar and tastes like spicy maple

and lots of oak

>>10040628
I wish someone here in America would attempt to recreate the single pot still style. We've got distilleries imitating the single malt Scotches; why not do the same for Irish whiskies?

>>10040628
What's that like with coke and ice?

>>10049539
I have a bottle of that atm. Nice stuff.

>>10049677
I tried the regular Famous Grouse a while back and liked it. How different is the Black?

What's /ck/'s opinion on Long John whiskies?

>>10049539
Willett Pot Still Reserve

>>10049562
Not bad at all

>>10049791

>>10049800
Problem with Willett?

How much centiliters of whisky a day is OK health-wise? I'm talking average every day here, not "special occasions".
I've had some bad drinking habits these past couple weeks so I'm trying to set some limits on myself like I used to but I'm not sure how to do it for the whisky.

For wine I set it to 25CL (12CL x2 more or less) a day and for whisky I'm thinking of doing 8CL max (4CL x2) - thoughts? How do you guys do it?

>>10049813
No more than one glass with a top-off later. also, only one type of drink per night. otherwise it turns into a tuesday night drunk show and fuck being that kind of asshole

>>10049813
I would say no more that two standard units a day, which is 1.5 oz per unit of hard alcohol, and a max of fifteen a week.

>>10049911
Seems to go in line with what I'm thinking of going for.

>>10044955
Bird dog is cheap and delicious shit.

I love the peach, will have to try the maple

I signed up for flaviar recently and this was the first thing I grabbed.

>>10049810
Bourbon isn't what I meant here >>10049539

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_pot_still_whiskey
>Single pot still whiskey is a style of Irish whiskey made by a single distillery from a mixed mash of malted and unmalted barley distilled in a pot still...The term should not be confused with the theoretical concept of whiskey produced solely in a pot still (which would also apply to single malt whiskey as well as some examples of pot still bourbon and rye whiskey).
They won't be able to call it "single pot still whiskey" because it's an Ireland-specific legal term, but I want someone to make a malted and unmalted barley whiskey over here.

>>10049950
I'm sure you'll see it done in North America eventually.

If Jack Daniels can make a 100% rye whisky or a distillery in Alberta can make a single malt whisky, it's just a matter of time.

>>10049748
It’s smokier. I like it and for $33 a handle it fits my budget too.

>>10050002
I'll have to try it once I polish off the bottle of Teachers I grabbed a couple of weeks ago.

Horrible. A waste. Way too much pear/apple taste, makes me slightly sick. I liked Highland Park 12, Ardbeg 10 and Bulliet Bourbon. Don't know why this was recommended as a beginner scotch.
Give some recs.

>>10050243
>beginner scotch
Because it's popular, and therefor widely available, cheap, and not super peaty, so will appeal to a wider demographic. Same with Glenlivet.

Lagavulin 16 is good if you can afford it.

>>10050243
I don’t know what you were expecting. Glenfiddich 12 is a great choice to introduce people to scotch.

From what you enjoy, I would recommend Springbank 10 or Talisker 10, the latter being my second favorite scotch.

>>10040628
>for a good time, make it Suntory time

I've been using this to make some Old Fashioned lately.
What are some of you cu/ck/'s recommended cocktail Whiskey?

>>10050357
Buffalo Trace is good. For rye I recommend Forty Creek or Canadian Club Chairman's Select.

>>10049127
Canada, specifically Ontario once they fix their stupid taxation issues for distillers
>>10049144
Scotland already has a half dozen opening this year including Ardnahoe on Islay which is being overseen by Jim McEwan from Bruichladdich.
Also Brora, Port Charlotte and Rosebank are coming back. Scotland is good.

>>10050506
>Scottish distilleries
That was a joke anon. Seeing some more Canadian distillers doing runs aside from rye would tickle me pink.

This. There's nothing wrong with blends, as long as they're not Scotch.

>>10051829
You missed the point.

>>10051844
Sorry for shitposting; couldn't resist.
But for a long time I had written off blended Scotch because I had only known it to be used in cocktails and because I found out that Dewar's tasted like shit on it's own.
