oi ya cunts just grabbed thissin ere

aint had anodder sherry pour next to it yet but its real raisny on the finish and kinda light just the neck pour though

gonna finally start finishing this bottle of the a'bunadh i bought a while ago

>>15738858
Can /ck/ rec me any sherry monsters?

>>15739391
budget?

>he adds water and/or ice to his whisk(e)y

Just wanted to thank y'all. From these threads I decided to buy a bottle of Redbreast 12, and I'm very much enjoying it

>>15739423
Under $200

What's the oldest aged bourbon that's still reasonably affordable?

>>15739606
Elijah Craig barrel proof.

duplicate thread, very poor quality too.

>>15739467
Ice is an abomination but a splash of water can go a long way with Whisky. All the old man pubs here have a wee jug of water sitting on the bat for that purpose.

>>15740068
Adding water to whisk(e)y is like saying "hey /wg/, I plan on shitting on my own dick when I get my ribs removed to self-fellate better so I can recycle my bodily waste as food."

>>15740103
Sure thing tough guy.

>tfw ideal level of drunkenness is right before you vomit
>tfw it's impossible to measure out
Also, am I the only person for whom whiskey is the only the alcohol that doesn't put me to sleep?

>>15739598
either Glendronach(12, 15, 18, 21), Aberlour A'bunadh, Glenfarclas 105, Glenallechie 10 Cask Strength(Batch1-4) or Tamdhu Batch Strength

>>15739577
Redbreast has such a clean taste to it

>>15738858
glendronach 12 is usually 50-60 bucks and is incredibly good

Any whiskeys similar to this or Tullamore Dew?

My liquor store is out of Ardbeg 10. How is Wee Beastie?

>>15743203
>Horst's face when

Just got a bottle of this, thoughts?

>>15743435
>I just paid money for Highland Park
Ahahahaha might as well buy Macallan.
Point at this anon and laugh.

>>15743441
I'm just getting into better whiskeys, until not long ago I only drank commercial whiskeys like Jameson and Bushmills, so I want to try now other things too. I've got a bottle of Monkey Shoulder previously, I've like that one, so I thought I'd try another scotch, and I saw good reviews of this one. What would you recommend to try next in a similar price range?

>>15743494
highland park is fine, don't pay attention to the local retard

>>15743494
>I've got a bottle of Monkey Shoulder previously, I've like that one
Might as well just buy anything with standards as low as yours.

>>15743435
overpriced garbage

>>15743494
>I'm just getting into better whiskeys
That's pretty impressive for not having tasted any

Honey whiskey does this weird awake drunk thing to me, like an extended sugar rush that's fighting the alcohol for a while until the alcohol wins

>>15739606
Henry Mckenna Single Barrel (10 year) is exceptional. It's only gone up in price (used to get it for $50 in a pretty pricey state).
In a world of NAS whiskey becoming norm, it stands out.

>>15743799
I remember when it was 30 bucks and not impossible to find on the shelf

distilleries shouldn't be allowed to pick their best barrel for a single-barrel series for judging, 1792 did the same shit with their full proof even though most of the stock is just good

>>15739606
Evan Williams Single barrel is also only around $20-30 price range last I checked. I've had 8 and 9 year old bottles before. It'll tell you the dates it was barreled and bottled, handwritten in ink. It's basically their black label aged twice as long flavor-wise, just way smoother.

>>15743799
stop shilling mckenna so it stops becoming the next blanton's

>>15743810
This is why you should always stock up on a good bottling when you find it. Here's a list of sought-after bourbons I could've had, and for the price. Keep in mind I was getting it wholesale prices since I worked in the industry
Weller Antique 107: $35
Stagg Jr: $50
Blanton's: $45
Mckenna BiB 10yr: $20
Russel's Reserve 10 yr: $45
A lot of these will sell $100+ now in my state, if they ever come in stock.

>>15743833
Sad thing is, it's aged longer and tastes better than Blanton's. The fact it was owned by Heaven Hill meant it was a sleeper, since nobody really holds their products in high regard.
Their NAS flagship is still pretty decent, and is bottom shelf price still. NAS also means at least 3 years old, too, and from what I've heard it's 4 year old bourbon.

>>15743836
>This is why you should always stock up on a good bottling when you find it
why would i have stocked up on a bottle that was sitting on the selves in mass quantities for years because literally nobody cared about it until it randomly won an award?

>>15743203
10 is way better and the price difference where I am is like $5

>>15743844
>tastes better than Blanton's
when you get a good bottle sure, but i've had a lot of mckenna in the past and most of the time it ranges from mediocre to bad. i seriously have no idea why this of all the possible bottles out there got memed so hard.

>>15739577
this is literally me right this moment, and yes redbreast 12 is very nice indeed

>>15743494
Monkey Shoulder is a Speyside blend, which a lot of fags on here who've burnt their pallets out on peated scotch will mock for being unassuming and flavorless.
Famous Grouse also gets mocked here, but it's a blend of Highland Park and Macallan. I would try that next to get a contrast of Highland and Speyside regional character.

How is Craigellachie 13?

>>15743917
>Famous Grouse also gets mocked here, but it's a blend of Highland Park and Macallan.
This is incorrect. It is a blend of Highland Park, Macallan, other single malts and grain whisky.

>>15743925
great whiskey never had it

>whisky

whats the deal with cutty sark

>>15744619
>my feet are in many worlds
>never married
>no kids
>want both
Definitely no red flags or anything.

Thots on Chivas Regal 12? It was the only non-bourbon whiskey at a wedding I was at so I drank a lot of it. Kinda a fan now tbqh. Might pick up a bottle for when I don’t feel like breaking into the nicer shit.

>>15745015
what bourbon did they have

okay so I had a shot of this at a bar today, I've never had peated whisky and wanted to try it before getting a bottle.
This stuff was insane, I could taste it hours later.
I'm usually a fan of scotch, but I could not get into this at all.

>>15745040
I thought the same thing after trying Ardbeg for the first time. Now it's my favorite whiskey. It might grow on you. Johnnie Walker Black has a mild peat so you can try that instead.

>>15745030
Jack and Woodford. Forgot it was jack, I know it’s “Tennessee whiskey” or whatever. Jack sucks and I had Woodford at home so I went with it and liked it more than I thought I would.

>>15745086
jack is basically bourbon

>>15745092
Wouldn’t it qualify as bourbon if it weren’t for that arbitrary “Tennessee whiskey” category they made up?

>>15745092
>basically
it's literally bourbon, they just don't call it bourbon because they want to use their special snowflake "tennessee whisky" label instead even though it meets all of the legal requirements for bourbon

>>15745106
>>15745113
they charcoal filter it, that's the only fundamental difference from other bourbon

>>15745124
That’s aids. I heard it’s kind of a pain in the ass for Tennessee distillers because of that weird Tennessee Whiskey distinction, is that true? I toured Old Dominick and asked about it but the guide gave a kind of non responsive answer.

>>15745106
It's a bourbon that is charcoal filtered.

>>15743435
12 is kinda meh

>>15745140
The smaller distilleries were unhappy because they wanted to call their stuff "Tennessee Whiskey" and they felt like the state laws were created to benefit Jack Daniels and allow them to dictate what "Tennessee Whiskey" is.

>>15745079
>mild
Understatement. Barely detectable would be more accurate.

>>15745349
It's hard to detect if you're used to peated whisky. It's easily noticeable if you aren't.

So what are you guys drinking tonight?

>>15743203
I'm in the same boat in Louisiana. Been trying to get Ardbeg 10 for months, all they have anywhere is Beastie, at which point I'd rather just keep drinking Laphroaig

>>15745597
Finishing off a beer then going to drink some Eagle Rare

I want to try an Islay, and I was thinking Ardbeg 10 but its like 100 bucks in leaf land

>>15738858
Anyone else drink and wanna talk to me or something

>>15745640
What are you drinking?

>>15739467
currently finishing off one of these that someone just gave to me, ice is definitely needed

>>15743435
idk I liked it, had a pleasant smokiness and peatiness, I got it on sale though and with a gift card

>>15743203
This was my initial impressions - https://yuki.la/ck/15660831#p15669854
However, its growing on me. It's not the worst thing I've ever had in my mouth.

>>15745597
I sipped some Wee Beastie tonight, of course.

drinking rye is so based
it just tastes like grass lmoa

>>15745632
I bought a bottle of it 2 weeks ago and it's all gone now
I'm trying to give up smoking and putting my money into drinking instead
It was over 100 bucks here too and I'd do it again

>>15740298
>Also, am I the only person for whom whiskey is the only the alcohol that doesn't put me to sleep?
ive just noticed this anon, I had been drinking gin and beer all day before I had a whisky and suddenly I don't feel tired anymore

>>15745654
I’m not drinking whiskey desu I’m drinking rum what’s up dude

I love whiskey / whisky but the acid reflux is ridiculous sometimes

>>15745597
for me, it's four roses single barrel

Anyon who is wasyer and wants to talk download house party and add me at “ gregdollaz” and talk to me fagsssss

>>15743917
Thanks for the great explanation and suggestion

>>15746257
Thanks for being gay lol

Had to pour a bottle of Gran Duque D'Alba down the drain because there was something off about it. Completely unsalvageable.

Whatever, drinking Woodford Double Oaked now and all is well.

Point me at a decently priced lower middle tier peat.
Had pic rel, underwhelmed, may be that I'm a bourbon guy not a peat guy - so I want to get on a consensus representative of OK quality and peat sovl.

Anon from other thread. I’m back and I put in the order for this.
145€

>>15743435
i got that for christmas and drink it while playing valheim - it's okay

>>15739577
>>15743911
I'll be buying a bottle in a couple days for St Patty's day drinking

I usually don't drink, but last weekendI had way too much and got really drunk. Even have little lapses in memory, but very short ones. Even thought now I feel fine, my thinking still feels kinda fuzzy or foggy, plus it's harder to focus than usual. Also it's like most of the RAM has been cleared: I was full of ideas and projects before the night out, now they feel a bit distant and hard to get to. It's been 4 days now, but I still don't feel quite like my old self.
Anyone experienced something similar? Any advice on how to get my thinking to how it was?

>>15740103
Lol. You could not be more wrong. A SINGLE drop (as small as you can) of distilled water in your scotch or whiskey will completely open the spirit up allowing you to taste it as it was intended. A drop, no more.

Try it and be amazed. Seriously, do it now. Get two shot glasses and test it.

>>15747262
I’m functionally retarded the day after I really drink. It’s never extended to the next day though.

>>15746679
Ileach is a decent one already, otherwise lagavulin are heavy peat, caol ila some peat, laphoriag heavy but alt. peat

What's the words hangover you've ever gotten, lads? How much did you drink? How long did it last?

>>15748277
Woke up covered in my own shit. Spent 4 hours bedridden, just shitting and pissing and spitting up vomit. Finally got up because I needed food, found shit covered footprints going from my bed to the kitchen and bathroom and back. Dropped back down into bed with some bananas and thank FUCK a pitcher of lemonade I made the previous day. Basically shat water and phlegm for the next 13 hours, not even bothering to try to go to the bathroom. Just threw away the bed sheets and got new ones.
It had to be the third miller high life that got me. I usually stop at 2

>>15746428
>sherry-aged
>there was something off about it
Sulfur?

>i heard ralfy namedrop sulfur once and now i'm gonna bring it up in every thread for absolutely no reason

>>15748538
Which whisky company that sells wine barrel-aged Scotches do you work for and why are you so angry?

>>15743925
decent, like a slightly heavier/more maritime glenlivet
considering thery're almost the same price where I live, it's a good value

>>15743917
I heard people say that they changed the composition of famous grouse recently and that it turned to complete shit. Is that true?

>>15748631
Yes. The poster you're replying to is a great example of the Dunning Kruger effect, as evidenced by
>it's a blend of Highland Park and Macallan

>>15748545
>who hurt you sweatie

It is better than the quinta and that is saying something.

>>15748277
Bourbon never gives me hangovers. I drink a lot last night and woke up feeling good.
Red wine however gives me terrible hangovers.

It's quite good. Lot of different flavors, and it's got a smooth finish

>>15749156
whisky in general doesn't give me hangovers (i mean at least mid teir/single malt stuff), but if I have so much as 2 or 3 beers at the same time I will get a massive hangover

whisky gives me the worst hangovers of all alcoholic beverages

>>15749268
Whiskey only gives me a hangover if it is one of the cheap brands that doesn’t distill properly, like Evan Williams black label.
poorly distilled = methanol which gives you headaches.
Heaven Hill is like $9 a bottle but never gives me headaches because it’s distilled properly

Thoughts on this? Used to drink gentleman jack until my liquor store guy called me a beta and told me to get this and I’ve really been enjoying it but I don’t see it much on /wg/

>>15749683
kinda funny since they're both owned by the same company
that said, you should try this if you like Jack, its their best product by a long shot.
Old Forester 1920 is often cited at the single best easy to find bourbon, I can't vouch for that, I bought a bottle yesterday but haven't cracked it yet.

Trying this tonight

Just moved to Europe. American whiskey is a lot more expensive here.

Any chance there's a European whisk(e)y with a good amount of rye?

>>15749554
how is evan williams black label not distilled properly?

>>15750108
the cheapest one has high levels of methanol, which causes headaches

>>15750124
[citation needed]

>>15748505
I've never tasted a sulfured bottle, but it wasn't smelly or anything. It was more like a sharp, unpleasant, almost but not quite chemical smell and taste. Can't describe it better unfortunately. I have had Gran Duque before and it has never been like that.

>>15749683
I shill OF100 from time to time. It absolutely shits on anything near it's price-point. Better than WT101 or OGD114 IMO.

>>15749011
it's also 50% more expensive and the bare minimum proof

>>15750688

got a bottle of this tonight. don't really care if it's overpriced, i felt like getting a nicer bottle for my birthday in a couple weeks

>>15750874
>I buy Macallan
>I dont care

cracked open a damn good bottle of four roses single barrel tonight
compared it to the small batch blind, it comes out on top in every way.
I bought a bottle years ago because of the shape and I fell in love with bourbon, all this time later and it's still some stellar juice

>>15751285
Every time I think I like a new bourbon, I pour a glass of Four Roses SB for comparison and it always wins

Hail to the king, baby.

>>15751285
>>15751366
I wish I could get these where I live in leafland

for me? its sara

>>15744619
be honest, would you?

The only worthwhile flavored whiskey. I get this regularly at Winco for $30 regular or $25 on sale.

Do Euros really look down on bourbon? Or is there just not enough of a selection available for most people to develop a high opinion of it?

Is Whool-skiey ok? I just made 6 liters of vodka last night so I don't know if you people bottle or barrel. If you doinks want to pretend make booze, torch some white oak to black, then place your booze in an ultrasonic device that rattles both your stakes and your booze. It insta-ages your booze and gets flavour into your slop.

>>15751524
wtf are you even talking about fag

>>15751532
You don't fucking know, because you've never distilled. I don't give a shit that you don't know a fucking thing. You're a generic peon.

Go ahead and laugh, but this is the one, my one true love. If this was the only whisky I could drink for the rest of my days I'd die a happy man

>>15751666
I bought a bottle of Dalmore 12. It's very similar to Glenmorangie 10 or Glenlivet 12. Save your money and get anything else.

You should be able to buy a bottle of Wee Beastie, EW White and OGD114 for the price of one bottle of Dalmore 12.

>>15751666

>>15753339
yes it prominently tastes of copper pots

>>15751366
Overrated.

what is the most expensive whiskey you ever tried

>>15751824
'The vanilla' is from vanillin esters. Happens in all neutral product. Probably a very blended shit whisky with flavours blended by a 'Nose'

>>15751824
Sorry, I forgot the link.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanillin

>>15752218
The Double Black is just the Black with some barrel char added which you can barely fucking detect, just like the peat.
Both the Black and the Double Black lack flavor intensity.

>>15754333
not telling YOU, bitch

>>15738858
I usually drink bourbon or rye, just used my Biden Bux to pick up a Glenfiddich 12 to try, what should I expect?

How dangerous are cigars/pipe.

Never smoked before and kinda wanna give it a shot.

I hate the idea of my teeth getting fucked up and smelling shitty tho.

>>15745040
I had the same feeling first time I tried it. Then I had some dental work done and my mouth tasted kinda like this for about a week and I found myself dipping into lagavulin more and more.

Now I love it. Maybe im just retarded.

>>15754767
a cigar is going to completely dominate your session so you might as well be drinking anything else

To the anon who recommended Corryvreckan off my post about Uigeadail a couple threads back, thank you. This shit is wild and I love it.

You faggots memed me into buying rittenhouse. It's garbage. I could get so many other good ryes for the same price.

>>15755116
its babby's first rye for bourbon drinkers

>>15750680
Stop shilling OF. I don't want it to become the next meme whiskey and have it drop in quality while going up in price.

>>15755147
What's a good rye?

>>15755048
You're welcome. Enjoy your smoked pineapple goodness.

>>15755116
Luv Rittenhouse, but ur lucky if you can get 95 or 100 percent ryes barrel proofed at your shop.

>>15755116
put it in a decanter, still not terribly spicy, gets the job done with a decent linger.

>>15755286
>put it in a decanter
what does that do

>>15755307
keeps you busy

>>15755116
it used to be like 12 bucks and was a great value

smoothes out that initial shiny mouth feel and brings the spice to the front palate. you can also blend a little Ardbeg into it, star with drops.

>>15739975
good stuff

I like bourbon.

>>15751420
she's gonna be chunky in 5yrs.

>>15756942
looking forward to it

The last few days I was mainly drinking my recently opened bottle of A'bunadh and some Plantation overproof rum, now I'm back to a 40%vol whisky and it tastes like fruit juice or something, but this also means I now have a much easier time discerning all the different flavor notes. Pretty scary how fast you get used to really strong liquors, so I guess it's not a bad idea to take a break once in a while

>>15756661
>you can also blend a little Ardbeg into it, star with drops.
A little Islay can bring most boring whiskies to life. They're great for that.
Laphroaig 10 is especially great for that when it's available for under $40. I've managed to salvage every whiskey I didn't like but one by mixing it with Laphroaig.

>>15756656
look man i like cocktails, but mixing a $60 bourbon, assuming you even paid msrp for blanton's, with fucking soda is retarded

>>15757232
Been enjoying Laphroaig Cask Strength lately. I could probably drink 80 proof whiskies as if they were water.

>>15757249
I don't think I'd even buy an 80 proof whiskey at this point.

>>15757255
Honestly one of the first things I look for when I'm shopping single malts. If I see a 40%, I'm not getting it. I've seen 20 year olds (looking at you Balvenie) bottled at 40%.

>>15757232
>>15757249
had a very similar experience, I got into bourbon for a year and especially enjoyed 100 proof stuff, then one day I tried Glenmorangie 10 and felt like I could chug a pint of it if I wanted to

>>15757255
this for sure, thats why Basil Haydens is such a meme. I'm not going to pay a premium for 80 proof bourbon, and even if I like the flavour profile I can get 100 proof Knob Creek for cheaper, OGD, etc

>>15757268
The only 40% spirits I ever purchase anymore are literally very old, cask strength Armagnacs. Yes, that's right. Cask strength, at 40%, because they're old.

>>15756942
shes chunky now...

It's not just that.

It's high-effort, multi-layered bait, specifically targeting multiple things known to trigger anons in these threads.

>>15757314
Got any pics?

>>15757317
there is literally nothing wrong with mixing

>>15757368
Correct, but mixing absolutely triggers some anons.

>>15757314
shes perfect, just imagine sticking your face in her soft, cool butt cheeks

>>15757379
she seems bitchy

>>15757544
I get cuck vibes from chad

Anyone had 1792 Full Proof? It's $45 at my store

>>15757379
>shes perfect,
Agreed. I would drink bourbon from her rectum.

>>15757846
now youre talkin

>>15754767
not dangerous because you don‘t inhale the smoke. just brush your teeth/mouthwash afterwards

theres no thread about it but I kinda feel bad for all the liquor store employees right now, "do you have ______, it said you had it online" , i was at the store for 10 minutes and saw that happen 3 times, also they're sold out of all the gimmicky/chocolate/fruit flavoured shit

is buffalo trace/eagle rare/weller special reserve readily available where you live

>>15757885
>not dangerous because you don‘t inhale the smoke
That's like saying chewing tobacco isn't dangerous. It's a carcinogen whether it's causing lung cancer or mouth cancer, plus the nicotine comes with its own problems.

>>15757932
buffalo trace and eagle rare are but not weller, blanton's also stays on the shelf for a week after we get them so it's really easy to get a bottle if you want one

>>15757932
Buffalo Trace is literally always available at my local Winco, sometimes for well under $20.

>>15757913
best not to talk to them unless they ask you a question i find

>>15757554
definitely 100% without a shadow of a doubt open marriage.

>>15753177
As much as I like good scotch, I would never want to be without good bourbon. There's no substitute for that punch of sweet oak char and rye spice.

any opinions on Ancient Age? would you suggest regular Buffalo Trace or Russell's Reserve 9?

>>15751666
Bunnahabhain is one of the comfiest single malt scotches. In my opinion.

>>15758413
>comfiest single malt scotches
what's that supposed to mean faggot

>>15758413
comfy is a code word for boring

>>15758427
You tell him darling

>>15757247
He could have mixed it with Hawaiian Punch because it doesn't fucking matter. Blanton's is a meme in the first place and all that matters in a drink is taste to yourself.

>>15758427
It's not boring at all. The briney sherry is peak Scotch experience.

>>15758418
It means based. Lol

>>15753339
I finished off a bottle recently and it was nice, but like most Irish whiskey it tends to lack character. You'll enjoy it I'm sure, but forget about it soon and struggle to describe it later.

>>15757932
At certain times last year, you had to actively avoid tripping over the huge pile of boxes arranged into a display for Buffalo Trace at my local grocery store. I'm in the New Orleans area.

Never really paid attention to Eagle Rare or Weller, so I have no information about them.

>>15758291
What would you consider a good bourbon?

>>15738858
Based whisky

If you do not enjoy Laphroaig you're a pleb.

any leafs ever buy whiskey online?

Bought some Jameson yesterday. I meant to save for to make Irish coffee on St. Patrick's Day, but I couldn't resists breaking it open today and drinking it neat.

Oh well, I'll get more.

Just ordered a bottle of Dalmore 12
What am I in for lads

>>15755150
Shill everything except Sazerac and Diageo.

>>15758365
Russell's Reserve is a shit load better than BTrace.

>>15761448
you're gonna be alright

>>15761546
Russell's Reserve had a distinct sour green apple candy flavor

>>15761448
Ordered?

You're in for nothing special. To me it was as impactful as Glenmorangie 10 or Glenlivet 12. Which is to say - nothing special. I prefer Evan Williams BiB 100 proof or ODG114 more. They both have more bite than the scotches mentioned above.

>>15751396
If you live in ON, you can order them online through the LCBO.

>>15757368
>>15757373
I buy cheaper whiskies such as wisers rye or four roses yellow specifically for cocktails. Good whisky is drunk neath though.

>>15755605
>>15755706
>>15757317
Memes aside, this was my first time drinking Blanton's and I found it lived up to the hype. On par with Four Roses Single Barrel of my opinion means anything.

>>15762499
>it's just as good as something that's 1/3rd the price and infinitely easier to find

sure

might need to stop drinking for a bit,
been hungover all day and just had a sip of knob and now I feel "normal"

>>15762365
I buy everything online now because the liquor store clerks were getting a little too chummy with me going in 3 or 4 times a week. It takes usually about 2 days to get here, and its usually about 20% than the local liquor stores even with shipping.
I'm going off the meme chart, I hvave tried reveything on the right hand side except Longrow peated

>>15762729
I'm starting to think The Knob is the best reasonably priced, widely available bourbon

>>15761421
Drank almost all of that 750 ml bottle tonight.

That's a lot of booze!

>>15763165
Jameson is practically water. I mixed a little bit of a Cask Strength sherry bomb into it and still only tasted of caramel/toffee. might be better in a cup of tea.

>>15763067
have you had the age statement label(9 or 12 i think) I've not had any Knob's yet and need a new bottle of bourbon and have had all the bargain bottles already.

>>15763430
I know the age statement has returned but the bottles I had didnt have it, I recommend you pick it up tho

>>15754767
It's different than smoking cigarettes. You don't inhale cigar/pipe smoke into your lungs, only into your mouth.

>>15757885
I wouldn't say its not dangerous. Instead of mainly lung cancer with cigarettes, you take the chance of getting mouth/throat cancer.

>>15762738
I've been following the same chart, basically. But I only got from the start (Glenmorangie 10) to Glenlivet 12 and then Dalmore 12. Along the way I've also been trying some bourbons (I'm from New Orleans), and for the most part most bourbons all tasted the same to me too. Because of that I assumed I was just a tastelet, and my tastebuds just weren't good enough. Then I tried a bottle of Ardbeg Wee Beastie, mainly because it was only $40USD at my local grocery store and every other scotch is way more expensive, and I realize now that my tastebuds are perfectly fine and the other scotches I've tried previously are probably not very strong. You'll realize that too, if you ever try Wee Beastie. It's a very strong smoky/peaty scotch.

I only drink about one shotglass of liquor when I drink, approximately 3 or 4 times a week, so I have enough liquor to last me a while. The next scotch on my list is the Aberlour A'bunadh, mainly because I've read some reviews that call it a "punch in the face". It's also supposed to be a "sherry monster" scotch, and I haven't tried any strong sherry-based scotches yet.

Fellas, I've heard all about the 'breast from both /ck/ and normie whisky content out there. Is there anything remotely like it for a walletlet like me?

>>15763784
Power's gold label or the stout caskmates version of Jameson.

Do you guys get stuff from local distilleries with pretty narrow distribution, or do you stick to the big established names? What about the stuff they only put out a few bottles of that you can only get on-site?

>>15763684
I have tried the Ardbeg 10, quite different to glenmorangie 10 which was my first "real" whisky too (interestingly this was recommended to me by the guy in the liquor store but also happens to be the starting bottle on this chart) and by real I mean, Not Jack Daniels, Jameson or Jim Beam.
I am an ex smoker and ardbeg really reminds me of one of my old favourite pastimes, I am even thinking of getting the same again because I liked it so much and finished the bottle over a week or so. It'd be nice to always have some of it lying around but its expensive as shit where I am, as are pretty much all of these.

>>15763821
Bigger distilleries have more experience behind them...newer ones, no matter how snazzy the marketing might not know wtf they're doing so I'm not stressed about trying their stuff.

>>15763791
For some reason it looks like Powers isnt sold up here. The Jamo caskmates is compelling at $38 Canadian a bottle but a friend of mine (despite being a bit of a tastelet) once pointed out a soy sauce esque flavour to stout and I can't not notice it anymore. Might still give it a go come next paycheque

>>15763891
Teeling is a pretty solid Irish as well

>>15763891
Ah bummer. Powers Gold is a good modestly priced whiskey. Powers John's Lane is even better. I think Jamo caskmates is similar to Redbreast insofar as it's somewhat creamy. All of the whiskeys I've mentioned are distilled at Midleton like Redbreast, as you may know. Enjoy whatever you try.

Holy fuck Jamesons black label is yummy

>>15762508
>bLaNtOnS hAs To Be BeTtER cUz It'S mOrE ExPeNsIvE 11!!

Price doesn't dictate quality retard.

I just like it

>>15765005
its super good, but they dont have it at my local leaf store, thats why I get The Knob

bought some of this, thought it would end up being overpriced meme booze but i ended up liking it a lot, very fruity

>>15758291
Presumably you could also get rye spice from a rye

>>15749854
No. Scotland and Ireland are the only countries to make whisky in Europe.

Rye is only really grown in eastern Europe

>>15762499
literally the only reason why it gets shit on so much is because the hype inflates the price and people go nuts trying to find bottles. if it was readily available and just $60 people here would be saying it's good

>2015
>decide to get into whisky
>become a regular in my local spirits shop
>get known as the whisky guy in the circle of friends and acquintances
>2019
>coach invites me to a dinner party where her old coach from the Ukraine is visiting, and tells me he loves whisky too
>decide to use the bottle of Laphroaig 25 I still have
>other visitor also brought Laphroaig cherry which I never had before
>drink both
>mixed alcohol takes its effect and I get too wasted to be reasonable
>drink more of both
>get so drunk I can't breath anymore
>wake up in my boxers on a stretcher in the hallway of a hospital
And that's how I got my first blackout, wasted a very expensive bottle of whisky, and embarassed myself in front of a multiple times world champion and her old coach.

>>15766973
World champion of what? Coach of what? You don't have to name names, just say what sport it is you're talking about.

>>15766115
>Scotland and Ireland are the only countries to make whisky in Europe.
That's wrong and retarded.

>Puni - Italy
>Stauning - Denmark(also makes Rye whisky btw)
>Mackmyra - Sweden
>Black Forest Rothaus - Germany(award winning and recommended)
The list goes on.

>>15766997
Let's just say its a university sport. I don't wanna say more than that, because multiple female world champion is actually already enough to pin it down if you knew.

>>15767012
Jesus Christ, even if I knew who you were talking about, what does it matter? What, am I going to send her a mean email that'd go straight into her spam box anyways? Just answer the fucking question. Every fucking sport is a university sport.

>>15767028
Why do you even give a shit? Some sport. What does it matter? It adds nothing to the information in the post.

>>15767040
It adds nothing? You're literally witholding information, and you claim it adds no information? You know what I think? I think you're lying. I think you've never played any sport in your life, I think you've never met any world champion in your life, and I think you don't know shit about whiskey, and I think you didn't black out on Laphroaig, I think you've never even seen a bottle of Laphroaig, and I think the most expensive you've ever had is Ten High, because you're a liar and a fool. To hell with you.

>>15767060

this Anons got the right idea, but ideally it'd have been better to just not feed the troll

>>15757846
Just admit it... You love the BWC (Big White Cork)

>>15764781
My only point is that four roses single barrel is better than blanton's and buffalo trace hype is bad for everyone except buffalo trace

>>15763784
kilbeggan single pot still is pretty competitive, though it might be almost as expensive/impossible to find depending on where you live

synthetic cork is totally gay ass

>>15766973
>Laphroaig cherry
This isn't a thing.

>>15769520
It's great for an infinity blend bottle. I use a Knob Creek bottle for my infinity blend. They have synthetic corks with very good seals that make a very satisfying pop when you uncork them.

My favorite wine, Sandeman 20 Year Tawny Port, has a glass cork which is pretty fucking neato.
Any whiskies with glass corks?

>>15738946
classy
im drinking out of the bottle today

>>15769642
this tastes like fart water

>>15769655
tastes just like any other whisky

I wish they still made this. It was phenomenal for the price

>>15769658
I think you'd be surprised

>>15769675
well ive had good whisky expensive whisky cheap whisky it all the same to me and walker red is the best value for money

>>15769688
sounds like a personal issue

Every night lately ill have a glass of port wine, then pour some whiskey into the glass with residual port wine in it.
