im gay btw if that matters

well it is called knob creek

do you suck knobs down by the creek drunk on knob creek?

>>13195034
Sooo... Lincoln county process?

I liked it too, until I realized it said "with artificial flavors" then went back to the regular stuff.

>>13195034
This is GREAT stuff. It's not cloyingly sweet or more like a liqueur than a whisky like most flavored whiskies. It tastes like bourbon with maple in it, not maple with bourbon in it.

>>13195261
>until I realized it said "with artificial flavors"
It says with natural flavors on the front of the fucking bottle, readlet.

There's nothing OP likes more than sucking on some brown knob.

Gonna be in the UK for a week, want to get a nice scotch while I'm there but now I just don't know what single bottle to get. Looking to spend anywhere between £80 to £160. Anything from a great sherry bomb to smokey is ideal. Any recommendations?

>>13196517
>Sherry Bomb
Glendronach 21 should cost around £130

>Smokey
Ardbeg Uigeadail bargain at only £55.

>>13196517
Couldn't you visit your favourite distilleries and taste them?

>>13196686
I have a bottle of that Ardbeg and its great, I have been eyeing the Glendronach 21 for some time. May end up going for that but we'll see.
>>13196694
I just won't have the time, it kills me but that'll have to be for another trip

i got the worst hangover of my life off knob creek. fuck that shit

>>13196896
hangovers are 75% dependent on dehydration.

>>13195034
It's not bad but I think it to be overpriced for what it is. Try out some Bakers or Bookers.

Post your best shit, lads.

>>13196917
i always drink a ton of water when i get fucked up, and almost never get hung over. it was just the one time i drank knob creek

What's a decent bourbon for sipping on the rocks that I can buy a 1.75l for under $50? Preferably something widely available not "niche" since I live in a small town

>>13197052
Evan Williams bottled in bond, if you can find it in 1.75L, if not then Wild Turkey 101.

I liked it.

>>13197104
I didn't like the hangover I felt today tho

picked up some new memes

which should I open

>>13195034
>>13197104

Lmao. Holy shit I'm depressed

>>13195034
LMAO

do americans really!...
call their drinks "knob"

do you guys even know what that means

>>13196925
knob creek 120 proof and Bookers are literally the same thing, they just go through and hind pick the best 200 barrels and set them aside for Bookers and the rest of the barrels get called knob creek. The taste difference is barely noticeable if at all but you'll spend $120 for Bookers compared to $50 for knob creek 120

>>13197396
It probably the same between Evan Williams black label and those others. It's just price differentials and marketing.

>>13197396
>$120 for bookers
where the fuck have you been buying Booker's at $120?

>>13197052
get Evan Williams 1783, its noticeably better then the black bottle and around $29 a 1.75L, if you're ok with spending all $50 then grab a Knob Creek 100 proof 1.75L. And of course Wild Turkey 101.

>>13197408
not all runs are as good as each other

>>13197348
i got memed into buying Monkey shoulder and was super disappointed, it tastes like wheat grass, bananas and rubbing alcohol

get your hands on some REAL shitty whiskey then we'll talk

>>13197052
>>13197060
Second for Evan BiB
If you can’t buy a handle, buy 3 fifths and it’ll still be under $50.

>>13195034
I don't like it because of its name.

>>13195034
Knob Creek is good. If you don't like it you can shave my balls.

>>13197104
>>13197363

whats Kraken taste like compared to bacardi black or capt morgan

>>13195057
It's okay, we get it, you think about cocks 24/7

>>13195034
smoked maple, it that the one that has flavor but isn't a overly sweet, thick corn syrupy liqueur like all the honey whiskeys?

>>13197468
released rotten seafood

>>13197431
monkey shoulder is good for how cheap it is, but it's not a great whiskey by any means

>>13197488
Flavored booze is just girly stuff so they can slut out with impunity

>>13197503
"monkey shoulder" what kind of hipster focus group faggots would come with a name like that?

>>13197468
Much richer, spicy flavor, but far less sweet.

>>13197506
>"monkey shoulder"
is a old term for the people that worked in the barley(?) fields, they were constantly shoveling and their right shoulder would get really big and fucked up

Anyone that buys something called "monkey shoulder" will be pegged as an asshole faggot hipster.

>>13197503
I mean, yeah, sugary sweet drinks, but not that shit. Anyway girls like pumpkin spice. Maple is for men.

>>13197522
I thought it was a term for opium or heroin junkies, monkey on the shoulder?

>>13197530
No, men go for the straight burboun, flavored shit is for fags and women.

>>13197503
that is why i asked the question i did, because i believe the knob creek maple is not such a drink, but i can't remember if it was knob or a different whiskey

>>13197538
I drink both.

>>13197488
Yes. That's the one.

>>13197531
that is "a monkey on your back" but same concept, some aliment that looms over you. In this case a hunchback and fucked up shoulder from shoveling

>>13195261

How do people come up with misinformation like this?
Reminds me I recently heard a guy go on about how Jack Daniels is the only American owned distillery, and bourbon can only be made with limestone water.
Same guy also claimed that Stagg is 22 yrs old and Maker's Mark is owned by Chinese(it's owned by Japanese, so he was close)

>>13197434

>>13197434
Its a shame they discontinued the Naked Grouse 12 year blended malt because that was awesome

>>13197052
Third on Evan. It's a good whiskey. You want a little spice, ogd is pretty common, not bad. I'm loving early times bib, liter for about $20. I haven't seen it in 1/5ths. I'm also digging new riff. I don't use water (ice) in these.

>>13195034
For me, it's my good ole buddy Evan Wiliams.

How do your liquor runs usually go, /ck/?

>>13201442
Buy your liquor from the supermarket while buying a few groceries. No-one bats an eyelid.

>>13201442
>How do your liquor runs usually go, /ck/?

>>13201442

I have two stores I frequent but I have to switch out the store I go to every weekend so they hopefully don't notice me. I do it more out of fear of being seen as a regular despite the fact that I'm not buying cheap stuff.

>>13201442
I stop when I travel, generally a big chain and a hole in the wall, if I can hit both. Sometimes just a liquor store in the middle of nowhere. Look at the liquors on offer, try to find unique bottles. Local store's selections are a bit shit, but sometimes find gems. I collect more than I drink though. Currently have maybe 50 open bottles. Sometimes look for local stuff that I read about. Sometimes taste a sample and buy a bottle. Offer suggestions if someone is looking, or ask for recommendations.

>>13196917
definitely this. Pounded at least a half gallon of water before bed a few weekends ago and was fine to get up at 5:15am to go tailgating.

Didn't want to make a second alcohol thread so I'll ask here, why the fuck are IPAs so popular? I've even tried what are supposed to be the really good ones, but they all have this absolutely rancid aftertaste that I can barely keep down. What's the fucking appeal? It's not even like with bad whiskey where at least it'll get you drunk.

>just turned 21
>find out I like Fireball because it makes me feel warm and comfy inside while also being sweet enough to enjoy drinking rather than just going for a buzz
>get made fun of because apparently it's a girly drink
what do i do frens, I'm still new to drinking so I don't want something overly strong and I can't deal with the taste of beer, are there other sweet-tasting drinks besides wine or cider that I'll still enjoy the taste of?

>>13202299
People drink any beer because you can drink it during the day and no one will call you a drunk, and if you drink enough of it, it'll still get you buzzed, even though it's less efficient. As for IPAs specifically, it's the novelty. They're hoppy and bitter, and appeal to the same type of palates that like black coffee, which are surprislngly common. An acquired taste, if you will. Don't think too hard about it, and don't feel bad for not liking them. I personally prefer good old american pisswater, myself.
>>13202343
>are there other sweet-tasting drinks besides wine or cider that I'll still enjoy the taste of?
Liquers, like Baileys, if you want to go the Dude route. But ultimately, you should drink what you like. It's girly to try to pick your drinks based on what others would think of you, rather than drinking what you like. Though fireball is fukken gross, lol.

>>13202433
Some IPA's are pretty well balanced, desu. Not overly bitter hop bombs, but nicely balanced and generally citrusy.
Soco is sweetened whiskey liqour, still not strictly a heterosexual male drink, but not as bad as fireball.

>>13202343
if you waited to start drinking till you were 21 you already missed the window to develop your taste buds, you might be stuck hating liquor your whole life.

I work at a liquor store in a good neighborhood, retard. The only time we ever got robbed was after a tornado tore the whole front of the building off and literally a solitary looter came through at 3 in the morning when nobody was there.

>>13202343
Anyone who makes fun of others for "girly" drinks can't handle their alcohol like the bitches they are. It's a blatant fact. They are also the first ones to pass out/throw up during a party/get-together. Just drink what you like. Personally I enjoy Fireball but then again I enjoy anything I can get my hands on.

>>13203023
Not bad if you like it. How's that rye? I've not heard anything about that distillery and BIB is an interest of mine.

>>13197471
fuck you asshole

How do I start with whiskey?

>>13204369
By opening the bottle.

>>13204369
When you get started you want to avoid both bottom shelf and top shelf whisky. Feel free to experiment with mixed drinks and ice at first to acclimate yourself.

If you're anything like me, you will come to dislike ice as it dilutes your drink as you sip it and will move on to room temperature neat.

People here will bark about neat being the only way to enjoy whisky, but don't try to force it as it's often too harsh for beginners.

That said, try to stay with low ABV whisky first to get used to flavors. Avoid peaty scotch for now. Irish is a good starting point as is bourbons if you like sweeter.

Enjoy!

>>13204369
unironically buy Crown Royal, people like to talk crap but it is one of the smoothest and most inoffensive whiskeys around. If you can't drink it you most likely won't like any other whiskey. For there you can graduate to real whiskeys like Bulleit Rye or Woodford Reserve bourbon

>>13204906
Awful advice. Cr was one of the worst whisky I've ever had. Avoid that overpriced garbage

>>13205552
Buds with a bar owner and got to try if free, its unironically fine. Maybe overpriced but not shitty or anything. Stay away from the Crapple though

>>13204906
>smoothest and most inoffensive
i.e. flavorless. A complete waste of money.

>>13203200
it would be extremely delicious

>>13204369
rowan creek

>>13204369
Glenfiddich

>>13202343
Try some brandy. Even relatively cheap ones can be really smooth if you let them breathe a couple minutes.
>>13202575
I didn't start drinking until I was 22. I've never been able to stand beer, tolerate wine, and can count the liquors I haven't liked on one hand.

>>13204369
>How do I start with whiskey?
At a bar with a decent selection. You spend more per serving, but you don't get stuck with bottles of stuff you despise around the house.

>>13204369
What are you looking for? I started with OGD, Knob and Woodford. Middle shelf is good advice. Bottom shelf will yeild some gems, if you know what you're looking for. If you want the highway to alcoholism (and a "suicide may be the solution" hangover) shots of Kentucky Tavern if you can find it. I've got one bottle and it is an excellent shooting whiskey. I limit myself to only a couple shots at a time though, and those few and far between.
Sipping whiskey, get a glass of good water that's chilled, insert straw, cap straw with finger, transfer small amounts of water to sipping whiskey, mix, taste, repeat as necessary. Over time you'll find what your palate likes, how some whiskeys benefit from dilution, and how some are great as they are. Go to a bar, order whiskey with a water back, ask for straw. Ask for recommendations, or not.

>>13203572
Not bad. It's quite spicy and has a pretty grassy finish. I honestly didn't like it at first but it's grown on me. Certainly one of the most unique whiskies I've tried.

I had only seen something by them once, on YouTube. I think it was a Bourbon. But I was out on a day trip with my family and only a 20 drive from the distillery so I decided to stop by.

>>13207103
Case in point

>>13205552
>overpriced
its $20, the only thing cheaper is Evan Williams which sure its better but not as a first whisky, you don't start people out on laphroaig scotch ffs.

>>13206841
i.e. very low on flavor and burn which can be overwhelming for somebody that's never had whiskey before. I hated whiskey because i started out on jack and that shit is garbage but once i tried Makers Mark it encouraged me to explore farther

Anybody /cold rocks/ here?

>>13204369
start with Makers Mark bourbon then Woodford Reserve, Bulleit Rye, and once you're accustomed to the flavor try some Wild turkey 101 and Knob Creek 100 they'll have a little more heat but much richer in flavor and once you realize you're spending to much money on whiskey try some Evan Williams 1783

>>13207525
Its a meme, drink your shit at room temp. Get more flavor our of it.

>>13207253
I love finding whiskey that way. I do like grassy notes and unique whiskey in general. Thanks for the response anon.

>>13207525
Nah, if I cool I want dilution too. Excepting barrel proof, all whiskey is watered before bottling anyways.

>>13196917
fucking no lmao

>>13209860
i kinda like corryvreckan more than 10er even if it's more expensive. but 10 is still solid.

I always find that blends are worse than the sum of their parts. Monkey shoulder originally contained Balvenie, Glenfiddich and Kininvie. The former two are better and I've never tried the latter. The kicker is that I really don't understand why. Even when the blender is using older stock, as in Johnnie Green 15, it ends up worse. I'd like to like malt blends; you're getting good whiskey at a lower cost.
The only one that's really done it for me is The Six Isles. A big part of that is that it is substantially cheaper than single malt Islay, so being worse is fairly acceptable.

>>13211463
>I always find that blends are worse than the sum of their parts.
Half Laphroaig 10 and half Macallan 12 frowns on your shenanigans.

The food you eat right before you take a sip of whisky can have a DRAMATIC effect on your perception of the whisky.
Do you have any favorite food/whisky combinations? I've been hooked on flan lately and I find that sherry bombs taste wonderful after eating flan.

>>13211652
I tried it with a Glen Moray 15 (quite sherried) since I don't have a bottle of Macallan, and it wasn't great. Not terrible, but worse than either whiskey.

>>13197104
>>13197468
Rich, dark, vanilla, smooth. Its my favorite dark rum

>>13212366
Spend some money my dude. Kraken is shit rum.
Plantation O.F.T.D and Bundaberg Master Distillers Black Barrel are some excellent rums. Even if you're looking for cheapo spiced rum stuff like rebellion bay is much nicer because the base spirit is timid.

>>13212420
Ive yet to see either of those rums here in ny

>>13212432
Any plantation rum is probably gtg except maybe the standard dark. 5 year is also a good starting point.

>>13197033

I can post a pile of premium empties...

Owning a still requires a loicense and there's a special lock on it that only a guberment agent is allowed to open, to keep me from sneaking a cheeky mash in there.

>>13212756
>>13212420
you should try this, blows all those out of the water. If you like a dryer less sweet rum buy the 8 year instead. However i would not recommend the 15

>>13213513
Yea because you went and bought the high priced version of a shit Australian rum, and you dodged the award winning Plantations for the hard to source 69%er.

>>13213003

I prefer the uigeadail but the Corry is also excellent. Glad I bought both - well worth the money.

This is what people say about flavorless whiskies.

which is the point for someones first whiskey, you don't want to light them on fire with a bottle of bookers or scare them off with shitty Jack

>El Dorado 12 yr: 35/39 ALKO 35
yeah, nah.

Edradour's wine cask matured cask strength stuff, any and all of them.
They're all spectacular, and pretty reasonably priced for what they are.
The 10yo Oloroso is far better than the much touted A'bunadh and is single cask with an age statement at a better price.

it's 40% and ~25 bucks where I live

idk what you're crying about

i think he is just retarded, first he was saying it was Australian rum. I bet he is a aussie and can't get his hands on any so he shitposts

>>13216391
Not the aussie guy.
I'm pointing out that el dorado 12 has 35g/l of added sugars, and 39g/l of added other stuff.
It's a fucking rum cocktail
