>>15914676
haha yeah manly man drink all months!! especially whisky!!

>>15914676
I could drink you under the table any day of the week. There's a reason I'm having a break.

>>15914627
I'm not sure but I do know I desperately want to be deep inside a tight trans butt.
It's my fantasy to have her cum as I'm at full thrust so I can feel her anus tighten and pucker as she ejaculates

>>15914684
haha yeah I drink more alcohol than others and have to spend more money on booze because I'm big manly man!! take that!!

>>15914684

>>15914700
It's a male to female transwoman, it's straight even to eat her cum.

>>15914690
Shut up faggot. Dude called me a pussy because I'm not drinking this month so I had to flex on him.

sorry sir it won't happen again sir!!
don't hurt me okay?

Jameson

Finished work for the week and bought pic rel on the way home. Currently working through my second dram and it's lovely. The aftertaste is exceptional.

>>15914687
what the fuck?

>>15914979
?
It's based to want to feel a tight trans ass almost sucking your cock deeper as she cums. She needs your seed, anon.

>>15914627
Having watermelon moonshine, might have some whiskey too.

>>15914627
pic related; it was on special

>>15914687

let us know when you're sure
and please offer some to your lovely transfriend

>>15914627
Picked up a bottle of Noah's Mill. Looking forward to it.

>>15915391
Watermelon moonshine sounds exciting! I bought a talisker 10 for the weekend

>>15914627
What's the deal with the Laphroaig Quarter cask? I've seen it mentioned here before

Only the best for me baby

>>15914627
Did i choose well senpai?

Jim Beam Rye 70cl, 40% £24.90
Wild Turkey Straight Rye (40.5%) 70cl, 40.5% £25.70
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Rye 70cl, 45% £29.95
Ezra Brooks Straight Rye Whiskey 70cl, 45% £29.96
Bulleit Rye 70cl, 45% £30.95
Winchester Rye 70cl, 45% £33.95

Any of these as good as or better than a Rittenhouse? Or at least worth a try?

I used to drink whiskey. I kinda miss it. The buzz is totally different from the one you get with beer or sake.

I want to get into ryes bro. what rye would you recommend for a guy that absolutely love smoky Islays?

please recommend a good irish single malt

>>15917122
>what rye would you recommend for a guy that absolutely love smoky Islays?
Kind of a weird question since rye is completely different than peated Scotch. That being said I would recommend Old Forester Rye, it has 20% malted barley in the mashbill and is an excellent affordable whiskey. I like it way better than all of the 95% rye MGP stuff like Bulleit, Dickel, etc. but those can give you a real good sense of a pure rye flavor. You may also want to try High West Campfire; a blend of bourbon, rye, and peated scotch. It's a pretty good and unique whiskey but it took me awhile to finish the bottle because I would rarely be in the mood to drink it. Also at $60 there are tons of preferable options.

So I just had a dram of Lagavulin 16. Been drinking mosty smoky scotch the last weeks or 2. Wanted something different now, so I poured myself a dram of Buffalo Trace. Holy mother of fuck. How the hell did I manage to drink this shit before? It's so fucking sweet.
Islay has ruined my life

>>15917262

I drink it from a Glencairn glass.
With 1-2 drops of water.

Wild Turkey

Avoid the Winchester

Diluting whiskey is like saying "hey /ck/, 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."

>>15917122
Wild Turkey 101 Rye for cheaper, Whistlepig for overpriced but good.


I'm slumming it with a 1.75L bottle of Evan BiB this month.

>>15917576
define diluting

>>15917576
>MOM THEY'RE PUTTING WATER IN THEIR WHISKIES AGAIN!

>>15917633
I told my ex-bartender grandfather that people on the internet like to add water or ice to whiskey.
He said "buncha fags."

I dont get the constant arguing about adding water to whisky like it's an all or nothing thing and you either always add water or you never do. Some whiskies benefit from the addition of water and others are better with none added.

>>15917635
>add water
it's literally 1 drop. and every whisky expert on the face of this earth will tell you that adding 1 drop of water to your whisky will open up more flavour.
yes the proof will go down a bit, but if you're an adult that shouldn't really matter. only shitkids care about having the biggest proof.
drink fucking everclear if that's your only fucking concern. whisky is a drink for gronw ups not for little fucking kids.
your grandfather is probably just as much trailer park trash as you are so you're point is invalid

>>15917180
>>15917578
List of ryes available in my country that I might try
>Cedar Ridge Malted Rye Whiskey
>Michter's US 1 Straight Rye Single Barrel
>Rittenhouse Straight Rye 100 Proof
>Warenghem Roof Rye Double Maturation
>Millstone 92 Rye Whisky
which one would you guys go for?

>>15917635
He was probably including you in that group for taking stock in what faggots on the internet do with their whisky.

>>15917657
>open up
Nice brosciencey term that demonstrates you don't know what you're talking about.

>>15917650
I'll allow it for crazy strong shit like 65% ABV but below that nope. It's more flavorful if you don't and you're a weak little bitch if you can't enjoy, say, A'Bunadh neat.
>but muh opening up the flavor
It's causing guaiacol to float to the top, where it is quickly consumed, leaving the rest of the dram less flavorful.
You know what causes the flavor to open up in your mouth? Saliva. Yes, really. If you're taking small enough of sips, your saliva will dilute the whiskey in your mouth enough to cause the same flavor "opening up" or whatever broscience term you want to call it to occur in your mouth.
Thus, dilution via saliva is superior to dilution via water, which makes guaiacol float to the top of the dram, which is NOT desirable.

>>15917710
>thinking higher proof means better whisky
go back to plebbit. they have age limit of 13

>>15917635
>ex-bartender grandfather
tell him we're not in the great depression anymore and there's no need to savor any last bit of alcohol because we actually have money now. fuck I hate old people. disgusting and useless

>>15916381
>pleb
He was literally just asking a question. How does that make him a pleb?

>>15917710
How did you come to the conclusion that the guaiacol is depleted on the first sip in a diluted dram? The Swedish chemists that discovered the interplay of guaiacol, h20, and ethanol in whisky have shown that guaiacol moves closer to the surface of the dram with dilution, but it's not like it's some slick of oil floating on top. They've also shown that those three components are not in perfect solution whether water is added or not, so it's not like you have uniform dispersion of guaiacol in undiluted whisky anyway.

Definitely not these 2...

Probably 114

Yep. :)

>>15918224
>bourbons
had wild turkey 101 and buffalo trace. they're so god damn sweet. i can't take it

i find bourbon more spicy than sweet but ok

>>15918260
>bourbon more spicy than sweet
Have you had rye whiskeys? They are spicier.

>>15918151
>worth the hype
Who the fuck buys whiskeys based on "hype"?

>>15918281
i had rittenhouse which reminded me of 4 roses sb

>>15918294
All the assholes that chase Pappy.

>>15918251
>too sweet
That will happen with bourbon. There are some that will be less so, in particular cask strength bourbons. Also some double oaked bourbons are more mellow on the sweetness.

>>15914708
A real man would show us his penis

>>15918303

Shit, it's all the BT products at this point.

>>15918226

>Booker's (yuk)
>Blanton's

>>15918310
i'm a girl but i can show you my penis :3

>>15918312
Even regular Trace is getting hard to find. Last year, Total Wine (boozahol chain here) had shelves of BT, plenty of Blantons, and many others, even a regular stock of Eagle Rare (over rated, but briddy gud) Since the Rona lock down started, it's hard to find much of anything, even the once ubiquitous pic related

>>15918360
I've had only one 4rose and it was the small batch and it was decent. For the price I prefer OGD or E.H. Taylor small batch.

>>15918427
Taylor's small batch is really good, but very hard to find. 4RSB is usually easier to find. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

>>15918360
Yeah I hear you. Less than a year ago Eagle Rare at retail was really easy to get in lots of stores around here. Now, the only store I know of that has it is selling it for $70, not that I'm looking for it really but I think it's a good bottle at retail. Weller is pretty much nonexistent in my state, if you can even find special reserve it's around $100. Forget about the rest of the lineup. Last summer I got lucky and found a couple of Stagg JRs at retail but the only place I know that has it right now is selling it for $200. Blantons pops up occasionally but it's always 80-100

what cheap scotch should I get next?
I liked Glenfiddich from the start; glenmorangie was good after it smoothed out a bit.

have you ever thought about drinking something with a smaller carbon footprint? all that agriculture and deforestation for oak wood just so you assholes can get drunk.

>>15918484
Those the only two you've had? Try something with sherry cask influence like Glendronach or Glenfarclas. Ardbeg 10 if you want peat

>>15918500
Trees are a renewable resource and the whisky I drink isn't aged in virgin barrels anyway.

>>15918509
Not only are they not virgin barrels but the whiskey is gonna sit in there for a decade or so. Carbon footprint seems kinda low desu

>>15918513
so you mean they're taking up space that could be used to build affordable housing for the poor?

>>15918500
Have you thought about just how many of the Earth's resources have been sacrificed to make you, with less-than-zero return?

>>15918517

>>15918517
No what I mean is the barrel is going to be used and reused for decades of time so it's not that wasteful, it's kinda like recycling. If the poor wanna live in the spent barrels afterward I'm fine with that

>>15918517
Distilleries don't age their stock anywhere near where jobs are.

>>15916795
this shit is outta control, I fucking hate my generation(millennials) of niggers who hoard things just to signal to others like fucking zombies
when i was depressed i would buy this just to take shots and then fuck strippers

>>15918508
those are the only two. I dont drink scotch often. the glenmorangie i had is supposed to have a cherry cash finish. I do like the sweet ones but maybe ill try the ardbeg.
Thanks!

>>15918321

>>15918596
you ever dip your balls in it, though?

Trying some Ardbeg Uigeadail right now. I realized peat is fantastic from when I had Lagavulin 16. This Scotch is excellent.

>>15918568

As you should. It's the same MGP rye that's in a shitload of other brands' bottles but diluted to 80 proof. Oh yeah and they're some dishonest fucks who were successfully sued for not disclosing that they were selling sourced whiskey.

how long did it take for your Uige take to open up? mines a couple weeks old and its kind of unimpressive(maybe just to much anticipation) so far. It is tasty, just not quite as complex as I had hoped. Honestly wanted more sherry, so far I only got a little chocolate and a toasted walnut, got some bacon at the beginning, but not since. When I pour, I pour quite little so that I dont get too bored too quickly or leave it overnight(didnt change much). it did hold up really well with water, diluted by 30-40%, but didnt bring out anything new.

>>15919687
Not long tbqh. The notes u posted is what I taste, especially chocolate, sherry, etc. Sounds like your expectations fit the best of you.

I just finished my 6 week build of a home wine cellar. 6 feet below grade in Maine. The walls and ceiling (and door) are massively insulated (walls are US R-43/ Metric R-8.5, and the ceiling is US R-51 / Metric R-9). Floor is uninsulated, and should naturally regulate the inside temperature to match the temperature of the soil at 6 feet of depth.

Currently: 278 bottles of wine (racking for up to 456 currently), 73 bottles of SMSW, 38 bottles of Cognac/Armagnac, and a few dozen cork and cage beers (not quite visible on the left behind the Whiskey rack) and other odds and ends.

Lads if I’m storing whiskey to collect and sell on and I have no radiators on in the room with the whiskey stored in a dark cabinet with a temperature that’s always between 15-20 Celsius and I only use the room to sleep in. With no sunlight coming in of course is that okay to store whiskey long term in? Also not using any sprays or deodorants in the room.

I have not seen a single bottle of Buffalo Trace at all since Feb 2020. I did find Eagle Rare once but even the salesbro said said it would all be gone by the end of the day.

Marketing is hidden in the memes bro. Shortages of bourbon are almost always Sazerac only.

>>15921750
Plenty of those brands in Ireland I guess not enough people are drinking them.

>>15921750
BT at ABC stores for $24 usually sell out within a day. Other stores sell them for over double the price. Eagle Rare at one store is going for $99.99 and it has been sitting on the shelf for a few months now. All BT products are a meme.

bourbon

>>15918794
based

As far as I can tell this tequila is owned by a white couple and has hopped distilleries 5 times at this point. Not the greatest pedigree but I tried to keep an open mind.

Blanco, Reposado, Anejo: They're all good. Nothing amazing like Fortaleza or G4 but respectable.
Diablo Blanco: This one is awesome! More tequilas should come in at this ABV. This makes me want to try the G4 high proof.
Extra Anejo: It's shitbutt. It was the most expensive but easily the worst. It tastes very woody, but not oaky you normally associate with aged spirits, more like gnawing on a twig. I don't know if it's additives or what, but hard pass.

>>15917635

They have won awards for years for being a whiskey shop and normally have all their good stuff behind glass cabinets within the store. They would laugh at me.

Rightfully so

On another note, sadly today it's more like every board is a tranny, and faggot infested board. And faggots in the gayfaggot sense. Sad. Many such cases.

>>15927058
so two drams of water in one dram of whisky? that seems like a lot

>>15927911
smoke meaning peat or barrel preparation? chocolate and hazelnut makes me think something like Legent, but with a medium char as far as smoke goes. otherwise you may be looking at something peated and aged predominantly in Pedro Ximenez casks which isnt terribly popular combination outside of Ardbegs An Oa or Corryvrecken but those notes you're looking for dont usually get mentioned regarding those bottles.

What did I think of it? I'm used to drinking Ten regularly.

If they were masters they'd be working for Ardbeg, not Laphroaig. Opinion disregarded.

I'm >>15919687, finished some pours of Glenallechie 10 CS Batch 2, Glengoyne 10 and Knob Creek Single Barrel 14 120 proof this morning watching Phil and Deepa, just poured these to finish off the night with. When was yours bottled and does it have a red hue to it?

>>15928509
>When was yours bottled and does it have a red hue to it?
Early november of last year. I think the red hue is my CFL and cheap cell phone. It's mostly straw golden.

I'll have to give it a second look. I don't remember it being that rusty hue. Thanks for the pic.

>>15928655
Interesting. The last time I had Uigeadail was awhile ago but I don't remember it being overly red or dark from sherry. It seems like people assume Ardbeg is uncolored but nowhere on their packaging does it say natural color. Maybe the assumption that it's uncolored is because Ardbeg 10 is so light? I'm not saying I think it's colored but it's possible. As for wet casks, Uigeadail didn't really strike me as a big offender in that respect, I mean you yourself said you wanted more sherry from it although I think it has a pretty prominent sherry note. Have you ever had Kilchoman Sanaig? If any Scotch struck me as coming from a wet cask it's Sanaig; it says natural color on the bottle but it's super dark red for a young NAS whisky. I believe Sanaig uses wet casks based on its flavor as well. I think Bowmore 15 uses wet sherry casks as well; I base that on taste more than color because it's dark as fuck but it definitely is colored.

>>15928726
>mentally challenged
what a knob you are

Talisker 10 like most sundays this year.

>>15928742
havent gotten a hold of any Kilchoman yet. i mean the sherry is noticeable, but with Ardbegs peat a had expected the sherry to be a bit more full in the experience instead it seems more like its riding bitch. mine may just not be at full capacity in its presence or balance. I definitely want to try more peated+sherried I'm hoping to find a Kilkerran 8 57.1 in the next year or so since so far my only Campletown is Glen Scotia Victoriana, but thats probably not going to be coming around here in any likelyhood, so Spey Fumare may be my next purchase if its still there, even if its not for sure sherried as it was only $50 and the hype seems to be creeping on that disterilly lately.

i'm sure it's going to be TOTALLY different from the previous batch...

>>15931801
ECBP is some of the best stuff on the market. Super smooth and it does not drink as hot as the proofage indicates.

>>15931807
I have half a bottle left of the previous C920 batch. So I can and will compare side by side once the A121 calms down.

>>15931829
The c920 just didn't do it for me. B520 is king.

I just finished my first bottle of Ardbeg ten. I thoroughly it. What Ardbeg should I buy next? Uigeadail, Corryveckan or An Oa? I'm going to get the wee beastie no matter what.
I really liked the laphroaig quarter cask also

>>15933779

>>15931801

The 'A' batches are the hottest of the 3 from what I understand. I've only had the b520 and the c920 and prefer the former for my palette, see >>15918093.

Decided to give 4 roses another shot and purchased the single barrel ($74...). OGD 114 is a lot better. Just something about the finish that is off putting.

Guys help, I finally became a regular at the local liquor store. In my defense, I believe there is literally just one indian guy working there. I've never seen anyone else there and I work retail so I've seen him after work at all hours of the day.

Drinking appleton 12 atm and I have to say this is probably the worst rum I've ever had, if you want a decent rum look for Anniversario, i also hear good things about el dorado 12 but have never had it. Diplomatico is fine but not as good as Anniversario imho.

>>15933347
Probably an Irish whiskey. Not sure of the conversion rate, but see if Jameson Black Barrel is in your range.

>>15914627
General question: for whiskey and coke, what's the best quality you're willing to mix? Or should it always be the most bottom shelf?

>>15934376
first of all, I do not send them shit. second of all, having soy boys send them whisky is the single most ingenious idea in the world after selling bath water

>>15934601
If I'm going to mix whisky and coke it's going to be something like Evan Williams BiB or something that tastes like shit that I don't want to keep drinking neat.

I know this is a whiskey thread, but does anyone know good brandy in the $40-70 range?

>>15934601
coke and pretty much any bourbon. bourbon is white trash hamburger tier shit

>>15934601
I'd spend more on the coke before the bourbon

>>15934638
Bourbon is only beaten by the highest quality scotch

>>15934631
Get a bottle of armagnac. It's similar to cognac but much better for the price. Look for something from bas-armagnac. Delord has good offerings; their xo is around $50 where I am and their 25 year is about $70.

>>15934843
what is more complex between Brandy, Cognac, Armagnac? do they have different finishes like generally sweet or dry?

>>15914671
good for you. prolly better to gtfo this thread and lurk /fit/ for sobriety.

>>15917278
lagavulin 16 really is the best standard whisky by a mile

>>15935316
Cognac and Armagnac are brandies.
Armagnac is typically more flavorful than Cognac because it is only distilled once whereas Cognac is distilled twice.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a perfect introduction to peat. The peat is quite present but doesn't overwhelm the oak, which is nicely balanced with the peat.
Much better for a noob than something with almost zero peat (Johnnie Walker), something overwhelmingly peated (Laphroaig 10/Ardbeg 10/Lagavulin 16) or something that tastes like shit (Talisker 10).

/biz/ schizo here
bought this today to celebrate the past week

Store run - Bowman Brothers small batch, OGD 114, Rittenhouse, Uncle Nearest.

Found a liquor store that does tastings, shit is great. With memevid and bars being ridiculous it's hard to try new stuff, and to buy bottles more than daily drinking cheap range and not really like them sucks. Store tastings made me dodge some duds I have been eyeing for awhile, and even turned me onto stuff I wouldn't have gone for before. Seems to be some subjectivity and a lot of shilling + blind brand loyalty in whiskey, no matter your research you can't beat try before you buy.

What're y'all's thoughts on Redbreast 21? Not sure if I want to spend the money if it isn't significantly better than 12

Thank you for your contribution.

>>15937775
if you have to ask about price you're in the wrong game

>>15937775
I've never had it, but if nearly double the time on oak doesn't improve the liquor, there is something wrong with one or the other.

>>15937775
It's good for Irish whiskey since you need to go for the higher aged ones to taste anything other than water

Normally don't give a shit about scotch but I remember finishing off a bottle that my parents had in a cabinet for years a while ago. It was glen something, came in a yellow box, and had a lot of pear in the nose. Anyone help me?
