The real redpill is finding out that even expensive whiskey tastes bad. You want to like it by seeking out subtle flavors but at the end of the day when you stop trying to fool yourself you find that whiskey is just vodka with a hint of burnt oak. Good to warm you up but thats about it
Pic related will defend whiskey to the death

>>10457215
Vodka makes me puke

The truth is that whiskey and its derivatives, and indeed all hard alcohol (vodka, rum, etc), taste like shit when drinking them "straight." People claiming otherwise are just larpers who want to be like Don Draper or numales that have read too many Esquire magazines telling them what a "real man" needs to be like.

>>10457234
I can definitely tell the difference between whiskies.

This shit I cannot bring myself to drink straight. Weisers, sure.

>>10457234
BAHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA/10

>>10457188
>I don't really know anything about alcohol, how is this different from regular crown?

It's rye whiskey.
Rye is a different grain than wheat or corn and the end result will taste different.

>>10457215
>that one faggot that monitors /ck/ 24/7 just to shitpost in whisky threads

Jesus Christ dude, chill the fuck out

>>10457253
So regular crown isn't rye?

I used to work at a distillery and that industry is fucked. A straight rye mash is a pain to deal so most rye on the market comes from one of two midwest chemical manufacturers who have the facilities to distill huge batches. Brands buy this liquor white and age it themselves. It's all the same shit.

>>10457270
Nope. Corn. Most whiskey is made from corn. Rye whiskey is its own thing. That's why it's called "Rye".

>>10457261
>o-only one person could hate the whiskey soyboys that shit up all of the vodka, gin, rum, and tequila threads

>>10457270
It's a "Canadian whiskey" which means it's a blend of several different grains, most likely with at least some portion of rye.

But it's not going to be anywhere near the 100% rye content of true Rye Whiskey, or the 90% blend of Crown Royal Rye.

>>10457243
Fourty keks based
I love my rubbing alcohol with hints of oak barrel aswell my fellow gentleman

>>10457284
So what is scotch?

>>10457299
Whisky prepared in a very particular process in Scotland, typically with malted barley but sometimes with other grains blended in.

>>10457299
All Whisk(e)y has what's called a "mash bill". That's a fancy name for the "recipe" of grains that are fermented to make the mash. Most whiskeys will be a blend of sorts but there are general trends. Bourbon is predominantly corn. Scotch is usually malted barley. Rye is...you guessed it...mostly rye. Rye is found in many whiskeys but usually not in a high % unless it's called "Rye". That's why the one OP posted is different from regular crown.

>>10457273
Intredasting. Any idea if pic related is on that list? Also, anybody but me enjoy this stuff? Sorry OP, never tried Crown Rye so can't comment

>Brands buy this liquor white and age it themselves. It's all the same shit.
I'd believe it. Also the length of time spent aging and the conditions/containers used for the aging would make a noticeable difference in the final product.
Does that justify a difference in price if two brands each bought the same base liquor? That's up to you.

>>10457391
Well then what's even the definition of whiskey?

>>10457234
i like straight gin

>>10457215
Whiskey can actually be enjoyable to drink, but i shit on the idea that it has to be expensive. Pic related is my go to when im on a budget, for $25 CAD you cant go wrong.

>>10457779
spirits distilled from fermented grain mash. this is to contrast from say rum where the wort is fermented from sugarcane (specifically, usually molases)

>forty creek is in glass bottles now
well look who made it

>>10458559
>now
Dude had a successful winery before he started distilling, it's not like he was clawing his way from the bottom.

>>10457299
Baby don't hurt me

>Always shitpost in these threads about how expensive spirits are a scam
>Laugh at the pretentious idiots who waste their money on it just to look cool
>Get a €80 Vodka as a gift from a client one day
>It's the best vodka I've ever had
>Have to decide between holding true to my shitposting beliefs or to spend a capital every time I want to taste it again

I unironically enjoy straight vodka and baijiu but whiskey is objectively shit like all the other foods/drinks anglos shit out.

>>10460278
racist

>>10458559
I've only ever seen it in glass bottles.

>>10460285
You can't be racist to whiteoids.

>>10460250
>"receiving" "gifts" from "clients"
"implying"

>>10460370
I don't get anything this post is trying to say

>ITT: Plebs

>>10457188
It's a cheap mediocre rye.

But is better than others at its price point.

I think that it got prominence because the whisky reviewer who gave it that rating was very sick of other types and found this rye novel.

-t. Canadian

>>10460250
Just spend the extra money anon. The your cognitive dissonance will go away once your subconscious forces you to think that you never believed anything you shitposted in the first place.
>>10460370
What?

>>10460531
Well it was $5 off. I think I'm going to go get another one today.

>>10457277
Crown royal is canadian whisky. All canadian whisky contains rye. Crown is made of a blend of rye, corn and barley

Northern harvest is 90% rye

>>10460531
>But is better than others at its price point.
Ehhh Alberta Premium is still better.

OP here. Just bought another bottle of the "gross" stuff.

Turns out to be really good mixed with ginger ale

>>10457215
I'd say starting at $30 whiskey it gets good. The difference between red label and black label is HUGE.

>>10457234
low test

>>10461430
This this this!
I love whiskeeeyyy!

>>10461424
Rittenhouse 100 costs around 20$ and is pretty much the best whiskey you can buy.

>>10461438
Surely not in Canada

>>10461434
>being a fat faggot

>>10461482
Uhh no kek
Im a total bear lol you soyboys wouldnt understand. Go back to your vodka little girl!

>>10461492
If you need sugar on everything you are fat and a faggot.

>>10461497
Whiskey doesn't have a lot of sugar in it.

>>10461497
Uhh no kid. Pic related. Im a total bearmode. Go back to your mixed drinks sweety. The grown ups are talking whiskey

>>10461536
I'll bet you don't own a single gun and have no gf.

>>10461560
Kek im a man. I own tons of guns and love my thick country women

>>10461568
Sure you do champ

>>10460531
>I think that it got prominence because the whisky reviewer who gave it that rating was very sick of other types and found this rye novel
they didn't expect for it to sell well at launch in canada, so they exported most of it to america and had little in canada
then it won some award and got a lot of attention, people lined up at stores to buy it and it sold out on the first day
then the next year it was properly stocked

my uncle works for nintendo, he says they do it all the time

>>10461620
Are you talking about Crown or Crown Rye?
