/whisk(e)y/: Old thread is on the way out anyway edition.

Let's settle this. Which is better: lagavulin 12 or springbank 12? Before diageo cucked up the label.

Eh, you can still make a call on which is better. Assuming someone likes whisky equally well with or without peat they're bound to like one more, independent of peatiness. For me, it's Springbank 12 (though I like uigaedail better than both).

The vast majority of American bourbon and rye on the shelves is the "straight" variety. No coloring or additives permitted. American straight bourbon and rye actually has the most integrity compared to other barrel-aged spirits, such as scotch, canadian whiskey, brandy, or tequila, all of which allow additives.

A pretty decent double barrel whisky.
Woody tannins and a bit of red fruit, but mostly kind of a raisin note for lack of a better term.

easy with the water if you decide to add any, you can drown it, but you will get more barley sugar. no peat to be expected, go for the 14 year old for that and the 15 year old single sherry barrell for a real sherry bomb. the doublewood is only like 6-8 months of sherry finishing iirc, its overall a pretty tame profile, but also not the worst way to enter scotch these days.

It's because of Pappy-faggotry. People figured out that the Van Winkles got bought out by Sazerac and were using the same mash as Wellers, combine that with the old Poor Man's Pappy recipe, and now even the ordinary Special Reserve Weller is hard to find, even though that shit is barely better than Maker's. Blanton's is just popular because it comes in a collectable bottle that appeals to Funko Pop buyers and was shilled in John Wick, naturally Reddit losers bought all that shit up and swept up Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace with it for the same reason Pappy-hype ruined Weller.

The United States are divided into 50 states. Each state sets it's own rules on alcohol sales asides from Federal laws. In some states, that state has 100% control of alcohol sale of liquor. Yet in other states, you can buy it at the grocery store.

There are even towns and counties in the United States that are still "dry". Meaning no alcohol sales at all. I literally voted for alcohol sales in one town I lived in 2010.

>Nose: Funky and spirity. Funky candy corn, sweet corn, vanilla cream, smelly feet. A clean sharp sweetness. Just think of how funky a candy corn flavored drink might smell, that's how funky this is

>Taste: Sweet vanilla cream, banana funk, big funky candy corn, sweet Bourbony corn, green apple, plenty of hot burn. Has a thick and creamy sweet mouthfeel but with tons of zany sharp funk and heat. It's somewhat balanced for what it is, I've had young Whiskies with more offensive spirit-y ethanol than this. The ethanol tends to taste more thin and harsh when it shows up unwanted in a young Bourbon

>Finish: Not really a finish, just continues with the same thick funky-sweet flavors. Big corn funk, sweet vanilla and dessert cream, harsh green apple and building heat

>I can't say it's terribly enjoyable, but it's interesting. Crazy how funky and wild it is, lot's of candy corn and banana and b.o. type notes. And drinking it sbs with some mash #1 Bourbon (Buffalo Trace and Stagg jr), it's crazy how much gets tamed by wood and oxygen over the years. The sweetness carries over a lot, and that corn flavor is still there but the funk gets smoothed out like a jagged rock being smoothed by erosion. Interesting to see the raw material that Bourbon is sculpted from, and how much flavor is added from the wood. Kinda hard to score this

No it was just always shit. It’s popularity is because it’s as close to bottom shelf as one can get without actually being bottom shelf. It’s price and branding make it look better than it is, so when average Joe wants to buy someone a masculine gift for Christmas they gravitate toward it. It was never good, just always around.

Decide what you’re going to do with it first. What fruit? How are you cooking it? How are you serving it? What are you shooting for? If it were me I would use a pear like your book, halved and cored, some bourbon, a splash of fireball, splash of sweet vermouth, 2 tsp of vanilla, maybe some cardamom or cumin, honey to taste. Mix all that in a pot bring it to really light simmer careful not to burn the alcohol off, add my pear halves to the hot liquid and pull it off the heat. Once at room temp transfer it to a glass container with a lid and store it on the counter for a day or two. Then when the time comes to serve it bake it for a bit on a moderate temp, hit it with a blow torch for some color and a bit of smoke. Serve it with some heavy whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
