star trek

OP here but for all of you who like Johnnie Walker black label, I recommend immediately ditching it for Teacher's. At least 50% more smoky and malty for less than half the money, and it's so cheap you can get fucked up on it and not feel guilty

star trek :)

It's good.

>>15519291
Never had it, but I'll take anything coming out of Jameson on good faith

its dead bros. what should I go replace it with?

tastes very sweet and unbearable without ice but I never drink satansjuice

I am here to inform you about the greatness that is Skrewball peanut butter whiskey. It’s dumb, it should be terrible, but I love it nonetheless

>>15519336
More OGD
>>15519342
What the actual fuck
>>15519344
I mean hey, if it tastes good it fuckin' tastes good dude

>>15519336
why is this a thing now?

>>15519369
Because John Wick fans can't afford Blanton's

>>15519280
star trek owo

>>15519385
seen all 3 and all 3 sucked. also why the fuck a fan of OGD 114 drink gay shit like Blantons?

>>15519369
fuck off Diageo/Sazerac shill. this is a Brown-Forman board.

>>15519554
Anyone who cries "SHILL" is just a fucking hipster who thinks he's special for buying special snowflake shit

>>15519221
You're getting scammed, the price difference is $2, and both are pushing it for how cheap a whisky can be.

>>15519566
>NOOOO YOU CAN ONLY BUY [SPONSORS PRODUCT] GOY!!!!
eat shit and die in a fire marketer scum

>>15519733
I said black label, not red label

>>15519759
I never said that faggot, I don't give half a fucking dick about filthy capitalist monopolies, I just buy what I think tastes good. But if you wanna keep living in your little ARG world and thinking a whiskey will give you emasculating jew cooties just because it's owned by Diageo or Beam-Suntory be my fucking guest, pal

>>15520598

>>15519197
Anyone who skips over Evan Williams (especially the white label) just because it is bottom shelf is really missing out. It is a very undervalued bourbon and is suited for both neat and mixed drinks

>>15521085
Evan Williams was the second whiskey I ever had and the first one I ever liked. Haven't tried the BIB yet cause my local store only has handles but I'll get around to it

>>15521177
handles of the bonded? snag it man. It really is worth it. If money is an issue wait for a special occasion but get it.

>>15519197
>yall

>>15521196
I just don't like handles, they make me feel like an alkie

>>15521206
I'm from the south, cunt for brains

>>15521207
lol I only buy handles. Buying 5ths is a waste if you know its something you like. And if you're worried about being judged by the alcoholic at the register, trust me, they have seen worse.

>>15521217
I mean if it's like my fav I'd probably buy a handle

just got pic. Am I going to enjoy these?

>>15519197
Put a bottle in the OP, geez.

We should really have this down by now with some good links or something.

Scotch drinker here, I wanna find at least 1 beer and 1 wine I like so I don't seem like a snob, any suggestions?

>UUUUH DUDE YOU CAN'T JUST SAY "SMOOTH", WHISKY IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RUGGED AFFAIR

>>15520581
The difference between Black and Red is $5. I wasn't wrong.

>>15524724
Belhaven Scottish Ale, any Pedro Ximenez.
Assuming you're not actually looking for new flavors and just want more of the same.

>>15524887
Belhaven Scottish Ale is this shit. It was easy to find in texas. Now its hard to find for me. I need it brehs! After class I'm gonna go pick up a bottle of Lafroyyyyg 10.

>>15525127
Find a smoked porter?

>>15525155
I don't do reefer, brother.

>>15525193
Come off it, you're drinking laphroaig.

>>15524786
didn't your dad teach you not to embarrass yourself?

did you know your dad?

>>15524724
beer: new holland the poet
no idea for wine.

>>15525155
belhaven scottish ale isnt smoked tho. Its nitro creamy malty goodness.

Just moved to vancouver. What are some good BC beers.

>>15525265
I recommended it because it was malty. He said it was shit. Next rec: smoky. But he won't be able to get any smoky beer I can (since Australian), so a genre recommendation.
tl;dr unrelated recs

>>15524724
J.W. Lees Harvest Ale

>>15519336
drinking cask strength is doable but kind of a choire, i don't know

>>15525653
Depends on the whisky.
A'bunadh is saw dust and wood glue and I find it challenging.
Glenfiddich 15 CS leaves me wishing they over proofed it so there'd be more intensity.
Glengoyne CS tastes the same as Glengoyne 12 and I wouldn't even notice if you swapped them on me.

>>15525674
are you watering them down yourself or are you drinking them as they come?

>>15525828
Drinking them as they come. I have yet to find a whisky water improves. Not that I've diluted and waited a month as you probably should if your goal isn't to unbalance the thing.

reccomend me some intro whiskeys, imma poor college student who wants to feel sophisticated for once in his life.
All I know that are good (but never tried)...
>wild turkey 101
>buffalo trace
>evan williams white label
>old grand dad bonded
which of these should i get? any other suggestions?

>>15526110
get an oaked chardonnay and one of these globe shaped wine snifters if you want to feel sophisticated.

>>15526123
I'm on board for this. I recommend Kendall Jackson.

>>15522990
Pls someone r8 tomatin

I just bought picrel and it's interesting. Extremely smooth yet still nuanced, great QPR at $33.

any brandy/cognac drinkers?
only ever had e&j, and want to try something else. the local has hennessy for $30 and remy martin for $60. is it worth double?

*hennesy vs

Getting to the end of a Aberlour A'Bunadh #61.
Found it delicious but slightly too spicy, think it took away from the flavour a bit.
Anything less burny but with same sweet, spiced fruit notes?

GUYS I'M OPENING THESE TONIGHT AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOED TO THINK OF THEM

soyboy general :DDD

>>15529413
t. mixes Breezer with cranberry juice

>>15529425
>thinks drinking wood flavored grain spirit is an accomplishment that needs to be held in high regard

so you guys like your spirits to color the flavor of your mixed drinks? or is it that you just sincerely enjoy the flavor of whiskey? is the flavor of whiskey enjoyable?

im a vodka guy cause i think it has the least flavor of all spirits. is this true? honestly seeking to be enlightened on whether im missing out on precious whiskey notes.

>>15530253
you drink vodka because it doesnt have flavour?
>>15529425
he's right though. rum is the superior spirit and its much cheaper. not that whiskey is terrible, but i wouldnt covet a very big collection of it
>>15519297
ive had so much irish whiskey i just want something different. been thinking of getting their method and madness single pot still, but it costs a lot more than id normally be willing to spend. anyone itt tried it?

>>15531279
if you knowingly overpay for liquor you may as well just wear a soilent mask

>>15532012
it beats the shit out of your cocksucking mask

>>15524786
I have never heard a White man describe a really good whisky as "smooth." When it comes to well-made whisky, "smooth" is the go-to descriptor of pajeets, negroes, and other ethnic automatons incapable of such human endeavors as 'actually articulating what something tastes like.'

>>15529404
>>15522990
IT'S HAPPENING I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

>>15532156
THEY'RE TELLING ME WHAT I TASTE

>>15526110
Don't overthink it. Get the turkey.

>>15532190
take 2 sips of each from youngest to oldest and then one of each about a minute apart. do it again in the morning before you eat or drink anything(besides water). also let them sit in the glass(covered) with a few drops of water for about an hour or even over night.

>>15532237
FUCK FAMPARI GROUP!!! if i have to here some jungle bunny ayo sheeit about Wild Turkey Manhattan's MORE GOD DAMNED TIME...

>>15531279
>rum is cheaper
?
i hear that a lot but i didn't find it to be true. rums are actually more expensive once you go after the unmanipulated stuff or stuff that gets written about on blogs. you can get decent entry malts for 40 euros (laphi, talisker etc. for even less). rumfags like to bring up muh tropical aging as an excuse but a jamaican's year is not worth more money than a scotsman's year in my opinion. besides, climate zone is not the only factor in the maturation process.

>>15532410
I have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. I just like wild turkey a lot.

>>15532488
>they says without posting their own bottle(s)
McConaughey GO AWAY. aint buying globohomo whiskey today, tomorrow or any day!

>>15532237
wild turkey is a heavily marketed product

>>15532685
I'm a classless slob but I found wild turkey tasted a lot like knob creek which I also enjoyed

>>15530253
Why would you seek to consume something that doesn't have flavor?
Whisky is tasty. It tastes good, it has a positive flavor and that's why people drink it. Good whisky is for sipping neat or on a tiny bit of ice, not in cocktails - but whisky cocktails are also good, I just wouldn't waste an expensive dram making cocktails. Whisky-centric cocktails like the Old Fashioned are intended to highlight and accentuate the natural flavors of the whisky rather than mask them or compete with them. I wouldn't have a whisky coke unless the only spirit available is something like JD that needs to have its heinousness covered up.

If you're mixing vodka with juice or soda and that's what you think a cocktail is, you are still drinking like a 20 year old college girl. And if you like that, there's nothing wrong with doing what you like, but it's an overly simplistic and somewhat hamfisted way to drink. Why not drink something you enjoy on a more intrinsic level? Why not enjoy the craftsmanship of good spirits?

>>15519291
Had this recently but wasnt really impressed, interested in the cask strength one day

>>15532706
i understand

anyone tried these glasses?

>>15519336
Another bottle
>>15519369
Cheap, strong, spicy and good. I'll shill for OGD114 and WT101 for under $30/750ml

I opened pic related tonight. It ruined my Coke. Over sweet with ethanol burn. Reminds me of a cheap cordial than whiskey. Canuck Club is more tolerable and Crown Black is significantly better

>>15532706
Same here

WT101 is $25 but Knob Creek is $40 for 750ml due to stupid state pricing. I also would add OGD BiB and 114 for slightly more rye taste.

>>15532685
Have you been paying attention to the whiskey world the past year? It's been Sazerac shilling a fake shortage of bourbon.... that are all owned by Sazerac.

It's getting popular again because it's cheap, good neat or mixed, and you can always find it. Same reason Evan BiB and OGD are getting popular when Eagle Rare is $40 and hard to find.

Pic related of another priced right and good too. Quit buying Sazerac and Diageo.

Has any bourbon producer tried drying their corn with something flavorful and smokey like Scotch does with peat?

America is known for its meats smoked with pecan, hickory, applewood, etc, you would think someone would eventually use them in whiskey production

>>15534280
theyre only gonna put that shit out when they are going through deathrows, so Soon(TM)

>ding ding ck

>>15519197
Most whisky is overhyped trash anyway.

>>15533668
Ive used these for years now; they are good.

>>15534280
This is peated whisky for which they add chips from apple, oak and beechwood to the peat. It tastes like bacon, bonfire, malt and coffee. Never tasted anything like it :^)

>>15519197
Any other Cutty Sark appreciators here?

this is how you do a review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctzfTUVdvfc
not even two minutes and you know all that is relevant.

Holy crap he has 6 million videos

>>15536259
Cutty Sark: When J&B is just too highbrow

>>15537498
too bad most of it are wines

>multiple good bottles dont get mentioned anymore out of fear of them becoming harder to find
>threads full of people spamming 101, ogd, ew bib, and various bottom shelf swill
Kinda sad

>>15537673
My great granfather has passed down his bottle of Cutty Sark to my grandfather, and from my grandfather to my father. One day it shall be passed to me. It is a tradition of four generations to have a stiff Cutty Sark before your first time on a boat. Cutty Sark is the drink of the people

>>15539051
The only whiskeys that are hard to find are Sazerac bottled and your post is shilling.

You have popular recommendations from Beam-Suntory, Heaven Hill, and Campari that you are shitting on leaving only Diageo and Sazerac aka Shillville Shit

what's the most sulphurous whisky i can get?

>>15540027
Old Tub

>>15540404
>404
>no taste found

>>15540027
some anon here got sick from a Tomatin 14(?) because of the sulfur

whoever recommended bunnahabhain 12 should kill themselves because it tastes like malt and grapfruit in super bad way
