Not boozed though my mom spikes her cups with fireball

I have a bottle of Johnnie Walker Gold Label and a bottle of Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon, but I plan to open them tomorrow for guests.

If I want to drink something tonight i've got a few drams of redbreast 12.

>>20035665
Based red breat enjoyer. I had the cask strength last year and really enjoyed it, I still got to try Lustau from them

>>20035662
Have a cup for me lad
https://youtu.be/vh7JbVKwJjk?si=JHJ5iQ0V5XqLOj73

I don’t like it
I might pour it out

>>20035714
Are you going to keep the bottle and or top at least? Personally I like both them.

Calvados is a great Christmas drink. I was drinking Jameson orange whisky with angostura and seltzer now I’ve switched to Sierra Nevada Celebration ale, love this stuff.

>>20034800
Homemade spiced apple wine, good stuff

>>20035719
Looks like I’d have diarrhea on Christmas morning after a night of that.

>>20035683
Yeah I really enjoyed the regular redbreast 12 it was my first time trying redbreast so I'll be on the lookout for others

I think the only one stocked at my local store is the 12 and the 15-year and then the Tawny Port Cask edition, both of which are significantly more expensive than the 12-year. ($60 vs $135 & $190)

I'll save up for a special occasion, maybe for my birthday.

>>20035718
>sierra nevada celebration ale
holy fuckin shit I forgot about that comfy beer.

>>20035723
Yeah red breast is definitely on the pricier side. I think they're a little cheaper than that where I am but still in the $100+ range. Recently had the 1792 full proof and it absolutely beat my ass

>>20035648
Nice film choice. Seen Boy And The Heron yet?

>>20035683
The Lustau is so fucking good.

Torn between Armagnac and Jerez tonight

>>20035754
I haven't yet, my local theater was only play 2 showings of the subbed and like 10 of the dubbed and I had work both days for the subbed

>>20035757
I've heard, I just haven't had the $95 to cough up for a bottle lol one of thesw days though

>>20035764
It's good. It's like a more mature take on My Neighbor Totoro with a little of the spirit world isekai from Spirited Away. I'd say maybe like 9th best overall. Its strengths are the character design imo

>>20034800
Three Heads Double IPA.
>>20035648
Good whiskey.

Bros do I just need to give up ever finding nice japanese whisky at a decent price again in my life?

My county has a single bottle of Yamazaki 18 in their lottery and it's still $500.

I bought a bottle of Yamazaki 18 when I graduated from college in 2014 for like $180.

>>20035766
I scored a bottle for fifty something at Costco a year or two ago.
Actually, Costco had the 15 for $115 the other day but I didn't bite - got an Old Forester 1920 instead for $49.

>>20035780
>a bottle
Wait, now that I remember it, I mean three bottles. Bought one, loved it, went back the next day and bought two more.
They've never had it in again.

>>20035772
It looks good. I'll have to check the Regal cinema and see if they have any showings soon
>>20035776
>good whiskey
Thanks, I don't get the samw whiskey very often unless I really enjoy it and I like this bourbon a lot. You in the hudson valley? I live like 30 mins from the distillery
>>20035780
Based. No costcos near me, only BJs and sams club, but grocery stores don't sell liquor around me in ny anyway

>>20035434
Anon, post sinks doesn't mean anything to the new userbase and it was just a way to post cp anyways. So why don't you have a seat.

Eggnog with half of it being bourbon

I was definitely young enough to think sink threads were just shitposting and haven't been on /b/ in like 10 years so that definitely makes sense why they would get removed

>>20036151
Yeah there was some fuckery you could do with saving the files in a certain way and accessing data beyond just the image shown. A lot of people thought it was shit posting, which made it even easier

>>20035719
hey I also basically had this last night, although I didn't spice it. for one gallon of apple juice I made caramel with one cup of sugar, poured some of the apple juice into there caramel instead of cream to make a caramel sauce, reduced some of the apple juice down so it'd fit in my fermenter and then fermented away. it went completely dry and it didn't really taste of caramel at all, but last night I heated it up and added a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon. still didn't quite taste like caramel apples like I was hoping, but it was a really pleasant drink. was around 10%

>>20034800
im drinking garibaldis, its hot where i live so its the perfect sweet and bitter drink to get wasted, would some mint juleps but im all out of buffalo trace and everything´s closed today

>>20034800
Just opened this

Hell yeah bros

Lets hope this one is better

>>20034800
i splurged on some nice drinks last night since it's christmas, picked up singles of
>augustijn blond
>st. bernardus christmas ale
>samuel smith chocolate stout
>rainier
and a sixer of dry cider. my roommate also got me a barleywine which i'm thinking i might add some mulling spices to

I had a single glass of wine and I'm already lit. I posted >>20037903
Anyone else noticing their tolerance dropping as they age? I'm not a big drinker to begin with but I could always hold my own so I'm surprised this glass is kicking my ass right now.

I'm a freak who loves madeira, they say 2007 vintage is as good as 1988 we're about to find put

>>20034800
I just got this bottle for Christmas, so I'm drinking it now

Somebody please explain whiskey to me. I desperately want to learn because I feel this shit is just a straight meme.
>I detect notes of vanilla, maple syrup, and cherries, anon
>Put it in my mouth
>Tastes like rubbing alcohol
I want to learn how to enjoy this stuff. I even buy nice bottles upwards of 60-70 dollars so I dont buy "the cheap shit."
The fuck am I doing wrong? Is the whole "just keep drinking it" mantra too or is that literally alcoholic cope where you get so smashed anything tastes good?

>>20038093
post what you've tried and your thoughts on it

if you say it all tastes the same we're gonna call you retarded.

>>20038093
Whiskey is a strong drink on its own and you need to ease your palette into it otherwise the alcohol content will overwhelm you. I would suggest you start with a lower 80-proof whiskey and maybe even add a few drops of water to dilute the alcohol to better enjoy the flavor. And if that doesn’t work, maybe it’s just not for you and that’s ok too.

Any recs on rye whiskey? I’ve only tried woodford reserve which doesn’t have much rye in it

>>20038093
Of the "Nicer stuff" Ive had
>Reg Buffalo Trace
>Eagle Rare 10 year
>Bulleit
>Angel's Envy
>Four Roses Small Batch
>Suntori
>Wild Turkey 101
Most of the stuff falls within the 40-50 dollar range. So not top shelf but not bottom shelf.
Of those the Eagle Rare was exceptional. Genuinely smoothe and pleasant. Four Roses Small Batch was pretty nice too as was the reg B-Trace.
Everything else? Absolute trash. Even the Angels Envy which Ive heard wonderful things about. Smells and tastes like you just popped open a bottle of rubbing alcohol and licked a 2x4 after. No sweet notes, no "vanilla or maple syrup " just acrid misery. The worst were the Wild Turkey and Suntori. Those were more akin to licking isopropyl dipped cotton balls than anything enjoyable.
I've even tried to dilute it with a bit of ice and or water as the other anon said, and it doesnt help in the slightest.
I have a wonderful and expansive pallette when it comes to all cultures of foods, but specifically whiskey, flr the most part, just tastes terrible and it makes me feel like Im missing out on something wonderful. Like a color everyone can see but Im blind to.
And any attempt to "research" the problem is "just drink more lol" and it comes off as alcoholic cope.

>>20038152

>>20038128

>>20038152
Most of those are Bourbon (read shit).

I personally would go for Glenfiddich 12/14, Johnnie Walker Green/Gold, Talisker 10/18, Redbreast 12/15, Macallan 12/15/18, etc, etc.

>>20034800
Spent the weekend with the inlaws who barely celebrate Christmas despite insisting on hosting it every year. FIL kept bragging to me that he got the best wine available (from the bar next door) but the cheap cunt bought one bottle between half a dozen people. Currently at home and enjoying a glass of orujo; a Spanish grappa.

>>20038173
>the cheap cunt bought one bottle between half a dozen people.
What the fuck, I generally err on the side of 2-3 people per bottle.

>>20038178
We each had maybe a 110ml glass with dinner. No beers in the fridge, white wine in the afternoon, mixed drinks or anything.
Next year I'll take the wife to my family and have an actually merry Christmas, and not just on account of there being alcohol. Can't be bothered with tight fisted misers who don't know how to enjoy a holiday anymore.

>>20038167
>Bourbon (read shit)
Could you elaborate friend? I used to be more knowledgeable but all I remember currently is that bourbon has some very strict production guidelines to be considered bourbon by U.S. law. What sets that apart from other whiskeys flavorwise?
Ill also add that Redbreast is on my watchlist. Bit pricey at about 70 a bottle for the 12 year but a patient of mine and his wife were raving about it when I brought up whiskey during a check-in.

>>20038212
the flavor you get from bourbon is generally considered a "bad" flavor in other whiskey.

Get some scotch or Irish whiskey.

I'll be having a Hérout Amour brut cider followed by a bottle of Goose Island bourbon barrel stout I've been aging since 2021, but that'll be later tonight when I'm watching It's a Wonderful Life

This is legitimate nonsense and reeks of snobbery.

Bourbon is a naturally sweeter drink due to corn being the primary ingredient in the mash bill, compared to barley in Irish whiskies and 100% malted barley in Scotch. Bourbon also starts out in freshly charred casks that imparts more vanilla and caramel flavors into the whiskey. Therefore it's typically a stronger, flavor-forward drink that doesn't have the same subtleties of its counterparts. Whether that's good or bad is up to you.

>>20039360
See >>20031864 and >>20034663
> Dimethyl Sulfide and Dimethyl Sulfoxide are considered faults in basically everything but bourbon. That corn taste in almost literally everything else is a sign that proper care wasn't taken, and proper aging/maturation didn't happen

If you like bourbon, that's fine, but it's kinda true even if you don't agree with it.

>>20039384
And if your bourbon tasted peaty or was weak like Irish whiskey, it would be seen as a fault

>>20039941
Sure, but I also don't think someone who has tried ~6 bourbons and a single blended whiskey and gets the opinion he doesn't like whiskey at all, when in reality he just doesn't like bourbon.
He very well might like scotch or irish whiskey, single malts, etc.

Whiskey is for drinking neat Bourbon is for old fashioneds.

Diageo shill spotted.

>>20040459
>Diageo shill
Huh?

> Redbreast
Pernod Ricard
> Macallan
Edrington
> Glenfiddich
William Grant & Sons Ltd


Only Johnnie Walker and Talisker are owned by Diageo.

>>20040479
Only the paid Diageo shill who has been posting here for years (you) would recommend Johnnie Walker.

>>20040489
Yes, only a shill would recommend the most well known and highest-selling brand of scotch in the world

You're retarded

JW green and JW Gold are just consistent blended scotch that you can get from most liquor stores or nicer bars in the world. I don't know where he is, so recommending some meme distillery bottling that can't be bought would be fucking pointless.

>Diageo has been paying him to shill here for years
>he still hasn't learned not to Reddit space

Merry Christmas

>>20040504
Reddit spacing isn't even real you fuckin retard, i've been here since before reddit existed as a website, the double spacing is just a stylistic holdover from old bbs text forums and similar sites.

4chan evolved in that era and from one of those forums, so guess what also came with the site? "Reddit spacing" that you call it.

In fact the "reddit spacing" meme itself was created years later as a way for newfags to out themselves as redditors by trying to call out others for "reddit spacing"

Pic related, look at all of this pre-reddit reddit spacing they're doing. Someone better warn them they'll be newfags in 15-20 years if they don't stop double spacing.

>>20040511
It's Reddit spacing now and it's considered impolite, poor form and self-important now as it makes your post unnecessarily take up twice as much space.
>>>/reddit/

>>20040516
Consider whatever you'd like, I won't participate just as I haven't the last 10 years morons like yourself have been trying to call it out as "reddit spacing"

Enjoy your schizo headcanon where you pretend i'm some Daigeo employee

>>20038212
Bourbon is unique compared to other whiskies because it is more strict

No additives, mash must be atleast 50% corn, must be murrican, but the biggest difference is that bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels. It’s really the charred oak that makes bourbon sweeter, with more oak flavors. You might not like the oak, it’s not necessarily a wood flavor, but once you identify it, you get it. The basic gist of whiskey is that they are unironically like their cultures, where American whiskey tends to be very bold, loud, and sweet compared to something like Japan which is subtler and subdued.

>>20040531
>he made 7,000 Diageo shilling posts on the internet and spent all $70 Diageo paid him for it to buy blended whisky

>>20038033
Mmm blandys

>>20038093
Take little sips of it, just enough to get it soaking into your tongue. You can add a drop or two of water to the glass as well; people swear by that

>>20040554
French whiskey is said to be almost syrupy which intrigues me

>>20038212
bourbon/scotch/irish whiskey all have different general flavor profiles (with wide variation within each of course) so you may like one variety and hate the others, or like them all, it's a matter of personal taste.
if you want to try scotch I would recommend Glenlivet 12, Glenfiddish 12, or Glenmorangie 10. they're all around 50 bucks in my area and are considered the most entry level scotches. if you don't like whichever one you try at all I'm not sure whiskey is for you, and that's fair. I'm not really a tequila guy personally

These are good recommendations for people who hate flavor.
Buy these if you absolutely hate flavor.

Sounds great! Would caramelized brown sugar result in a more “caramel” flavor afterwards?

How is it? Been wanting to pick up a bottle for a while

What am I in for?

>>20042296
Peppery to start and a lingering burn in the finish. Not my thing, but it's not horrible.

>>20041968
More of a 12 guy myself, but that's a good sip you got right there.

what time of day do you start drinking?

Homemade coffee liqueur

>>20042493
Typically only on saturdays, and usually around 3pm. A few times a year 7-9am.

>>20042485
I also prefer that to be honest but can't find a bottle where I live for an acceptable price so 16 it is

>>20042493
depends, if it's a breakfast/brunch with friends then a mimosa or screwdriver or something why not? So as early as ~7am.

Though on an average day I don't drink at all, and on days I do drink it's usually with a meal, so lunch or dinner time. The few times I drink at home it's almost always mid-afternoon or later in the day.

>>20034800
Coffee.

>>20042493
if I decide to pour something its after lunchtime(dont eat lunch) and before dinner before dinner. I dont like to drink a lot, especially after a meal.

>>20042477
Hmm that could be good, I enjoy the Talisker 10 at least

Breath in 1/2 way deeply. Smell it while drawing in your lungs to fill the rest. Draw a sip. Swallow and breath out.
You are mostly right. I recently went to a whisky bar and I told the bartender that the water dropper felt very pretentious. He agreed with me. Either to placate me, get a tip, or I was right. The 400$ a shot whiskey tasted nearly the same as the 30$ a shot whiskey. The 4$ a shot whiskey was actually a bit worse. The expensive whiskeys just taste mellow and like wood. You could probably get the same taste by storing wood chips in a bottle of whiskey for a few years. I might try that. Because I spent a grand trying whiskeys from all over the world and of various ages. Pretty much the same.

>>20041682
the entire point is to pick the most mild scotches for beginners my dear autist, if they can't even handle that they're not going to like anything stronger
seriously I'm beginning to suspect posters like this are the type to repeatedly throw their kid into the deep end of the pool to learn how to swim

Drink like royalty.

>>20042995
More likely they'll just think Scotch is trash and never try it again because those are trash.

My first Scotch was Laphroaig 10 and I loved it because I'm not a gay homosexual.
>>20042922
>You could probably get the same taste by storing wood chips in a bottle of whiskey for a few years.
A few years would be way too long for new oak. It'd be tannin overload - astringent as fuck.

Sounds like something a gay homosexual would say.
