El Dorado Rum the 12 year. Maybe a natty lite once the rum is gone.

Once the chicken is in the oven I'm opening this

>>5941025
Anejo rums are awesome

>>5941031
How are you preparing the chicken?

Half way through this bad boy. The cinnamon horchata brew is delicious.

>>5941054

It's actually a guinea hen, not sure if that still counts as a "chicken"

I'm using this recipe

you should give a boulevard sampler case a go

The shittiest, cheapest vodka I could find.

>>5941101
>Guinea hen
Damn, these birds all look fat as hell, probably pretty tasty.

>>5941101
if it's not duck, goose, or turkey then it's a "chicken" at least here in burgerland it is

>>5941096
How's the farmhouse red?

>>5941101
looks good

Cheap grocery store brand IPA.

Drinking cheap beer. Started brewing a new batch of cider. Gonna freeze distill it this time around.

Enjoy your methanol, and the extreme hangover it will give you

Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale. It finally cooled down in SoCal to start drinking something with a fuller body...

some sierra nevada pale ale, a lil oskar blues and one homebrewed sierra nevada bigfoot clone, to check carbonation level and taste.

>>5941200
I will.

Yeah, I'm sure I will.

>>5941214
shhh, any method of home distilation will make you go blind, storebought is the only safe way, now give the jews your sheckels

>>5941214
I've had enough homemade applejack to know that it will not kill you or make you go blind

But it will make you hate yourself in the morning

>>5941223
I already hate myself as much as I'm going to in the foreseeable future (why else would I drink?). I've also had the shittiest of hangovers, so nothing will surprise me anymore.

Fuck fuck fuck! My life is in shit, I haven't work in 9 months, paying the rent with credit cards and small works. I new November was my last chance to get sober. I drank only 6 beers yesterday. It was a good day. But then my sister gave me shit. I went straight to the liquor store and I'm catching up with cheap vodka.

>>5941126
It's not actually as fatty as it looks

>>5941260
needs moar root vegetables

>>5941289
THIS. That's a lonely ass chicken you got there m80

>>5941308
>>5941289

I'm familiar with the root vegetables and chicken thing. It was suggested to me by the butcher that I treat this as a guinea hen and not the regular grocery store chicken, at least until I've cooked a few and I know what I'm doing.

So I'm using a recipe for guinea hen, without my own modifications.

>>5941009
This beer is very good

>>5941318
In case anyone wondered, it came out great. I'm about halfway into the wine and I live alone, so I just ripped a few chunks out with the help of my chef knife, dredged them in the sauce, and stuffed my face while alternately popping duck fat potatoes in my mouth. Felt disgustingly good.

It's basically like if you made the whole chicken out of dark meat.

>>5941537
This sounds like a made up brand from an 80s animu

>>5941553
its probably one of the worst beers in new zealand, favored by toothless homeless on queen st

>>5941548
22bux for an 18 pack from pak n save

How can you complain?

>>5941559
because it tastes like mold?

>>5941520
but if you had moar root vegetables and stuffed that bird full of citrus you could've made the bestus gravy outta dem drippings

>>5941096
>cinnamon horchata beer
lmao what

Drinking beer and eating scrapple.
Good times for the start of November!

Just finished 6 of these

Pretty eh. I liked the coffee aftertaste though

>>5941096
It wasn't. Tasted nothing like horchata

>>5941673
Horchata is milk. If you expected beer to taste like milk I have news for you

>>5941673
no shit

swanny d, cheers cunts

>>5941757
Eighteen pack of Lone Stars. 9 deep. Feeling good. Still got a little whiskey left from Halloween

>>5941771
good to,hear mate. im a lil wasted an just ordered a pizzs, hows you dayuy/night going anon?

>>5941783
It was a nice day today. Cool weekend. No work tomorrow. I'm thinking of grabbing some pizza too

>>5941793
have fun mate, im gonna take a nap. il catchya latet

>>5941564

Is that something you've done yourself with a guinea hen, or do you have a recipe?

There were hardly any drippings, and I'm sure the usual chicken with root vegetables would have resulted in somewhat dry root vegetables, but if you look back at the recipe you'll see that I used a bunch of chicken stock to turn the garlic, and what little drippings there were, into a sauce.

Jaegermeister, Jim Beam Double Aged, RC Cola, and Mt. Dew mixed together

So good

>>5942076
you're a madman but i love you for it

i'm just drinking shitty busch for now so i can get the rent paid this month. october always puts a lot of stress on my wallet.

>>5941096
>cinnamon horchata beer
This is going to be the new pumpkin spice guys

Anyone try Old Pulteney 12 year old whisky? Thinking of picking that up tonight, or maybe Springbank 12, if I can find it.

>>5942427
I am new to single malts, extremely new only had 2, but OP 12 was my first and I like it. I have to admit it has an almost musty aroma/taste to it, and a little saltiness as well, but it is sort of fruity and nutty too. Overall really light and gentle tasting.

>>5942533
That sounds pretty good, actually. I think I'll go with that. I've only had 2 single malts as well, Glenfiddich 12 and Laphroaig 10.

>>5942555
Funny, I am actually getting Laphroaig 10 next.

>>5942427
Springbank is quite good. I've only had the 10, but I can imagine that the 12 is the same shit with a more cask influence. It's rather light with a honey toasty flavor, and a general nonspecific fruityness. It's also rather salty, and somewhat peated. Springbank also bottles at a bit higher strength than average, so that's good. It benefits from a little bit of water and a couple minutes pause before drinking, moreso than other whiskies that are immediately in your face.

I've never tried Old Pulteney because it sounds like relatively calm and light stuff, and I'm a fedora-wearing peat drinker, so.

Sipping on a warm 16 oz Busch now because I drank all muh liquor. Gonna go buy a handle of cheap vodka later.

>>5942533
>>5943367
They both sound really good.

>>5943367
>>5943417
I am the anon who recommended Old Pulteny and even though I am getting Laphroaig next (to experience some definitive peat and smoke), Springbank 10 is one the single malts I am looking forward to trying the most, out of the entry level 10/12 year olds.

I also really want to try Talisker but it may be sort of overpriced ($70 or more) in my local liquor stores.

no booze in 2 days, i binge ate earlier to satisfy dem kravins

>>5943417
Springbank 12 is going to be a notch more expensive than Old Pulteney 12, so there's that.

>>5943424

>Talisker $70

im sory.

I got it for about $50. Luckily Laphroaig is about as good but seems to be more available/cheaper. I've found a place that has it for $34.

>>5941508
based quebec friend :)

>>5943501
>Laphroaig 10
>$34
What the fuck. The cheapest single malt I have ever seen was a Benriach for $34, the second cheapest was Old Pulteney for $43. Laphroaig is around $50, HP 12 was $53, and Talisker is upwards of $70. Even bourbon is at least $10 more than it should be around me. It is not just whiskey either it is everything.

>>5943615
I've seen a Tomatin for about $20. Never bought it, because I'm afraid it'll be shit. It was either a 10 year old, or a non-age-stated. The latter would make sense but I swear it had some specification.

King cobra again my ck faggots

>>5941508
Just had a bottle of Trois Pistoles. Unibroue rocks

I have a bit of a dumb question. If I want to add a little water to my whisky, what kind of water should it be? Should I keep some distilled water around? Would tap water be sufficient (assuming it isn't hard, or shit tier or something)?

>>5945337
unless you have really excellent well water or something from your tap, distilled water is ideal

>>5944362
Doesn't the re fermented in the bottle thing make it feel like champagne in your mouth?

>>5945344
Alright, thanks.

I want /pol/ to stay.

Why is the WAYDT thread about to fall off the /ck/?

Drinking a DIPA from a mason jar that formerly contained local USDA organic biodynamic lacto-fermented housemade farm to fork raw food artisanal vegan sauerkraut (curry variety because I appreciate cultural diversity in all its expressions).

Also pictured is my cast iron pan. I use it for everything.

can someone recommend a beer that goes well with most kinds of food?
bringing some for a dinner but don't know what's going to be served.

thank fuck i can enjoy my stouts and porters now.

>>5947349
You pay a higher price for a beer and then drink it out of a shit glass. I don't get it

>>5941054
Here's a good rum to try out.
It's a sipping rum.

The mason jar gives it more realness. A sort of gritty resolve. Like from when men were men. But not in a sexist kind of way, more like a being comfortable in your own skin kind of way.

Aangenaam kennis te maken.

>>5947424
I'm with you, bro. When I have a bitch over I like to serve our food and drinks in mason jars. It really concentrates the smell and lets you think about just what it is you're consuming.

Ardbeg 10 or Laphroaig 10? Which one do you prefer and which one would you recommend to somebody who wants to experience a peat/smoke bomb.

>>5949160

If you've had neither, they'd be equally smoke bomb. I like ardbeg a little more. In general I think they're both a little overrated and overhyped, I like lagavulin 16 more.

>>5949176
Well unfortunately that is a little pricey for me and as much as I want to try it it'll be a while, maybe next year. I realize they are probably overhyped but I just want to experience some real smoke and peat. Some people say Ardbeg has a bad burnt rubber/medicinal/band-aid taste/smell and some people say Laphroaig does. Really not sure which one to grab.

I just opened this Sazerac 18 Batch 2013. Really tasty.

It's like a darker, bitter bourbon. Cinnamon, cloves, pepper, white pepper, allspice, and of course, rye.

>>5942427
Drinking it now. Surprisingly sweet and fruity and it's very easy to drink.

anyone try this yet? tonight i am just having some beluga gold on ice.

>>5949390
>yamazaki
>sherry cask

Doesn't look like something I'd like

>>5949390
No, but I have a bottle of the 18 year old, which is quite nice. I imagine it would do well with sherry.

>>5949398
i typically don't drink much whisky but i have been trying more of it as of late. The last whisky i purchased was the one pictured.. I enjoyed very much.

>>5949414

Wouldn't mind tasting that Glenmorangie, it looks like it's aged in new oak. The sherry cask thing is kind of polarizing, some love it, some not so much. I don't hate it but it's not something I would buy intentionally. Of course if someone gives me a bottle I wouldn't turn it down.

But that Yamazaki sherry cask has a good reputation, so I'm sure if you like sherry cask it will be great.

>>5949431

Thank you.

>>5949431
Glenmorangie (pronounced Glen-More-Ange) is a bit rough.
Try and get a bottle of Lagavulin, it's godlike

>>5949449

Do you mean the ealanta, or the regular glenmorangie bottles? Also, did you just copy/paste that from wikipedia?

I've had the regular glenmorangie, it's fine. Lagavulin is a classic of course and isn't in the same league.

>>5949449
>>5949456
>lagavulin
you might as well be drinking bandaid water

>>5949467
Lagavulin is the best Islay (in my not so humble opinion). Maybe you just don't like peated whisky.

10 koff beers

I see LVMH's marketing extravaganza is paying off.

Glenmorangie is incredibly average whisky. But put it in a cool looking bottle and a nice box call it a fancy name with an exclusivity tagline, and boom. People eat that shit up while much better whisky like Springbank or Old Pulteney or AnCnoc go unnoticed.

>>5949467

You sure you aren't thinking of lafroog? I have never met anyone who didn't like lagavulin, and that includes the notorious "middle aged women" that /ck/ likes to use as a straw man for anything not euphoric enough for their masculine wrong decade tastes.

>>5949482

Have you actually tasted >>5949414 or are you just being edgy?

I'm not a big fan of the regular glenmorangie and it never even crossed my mind to buy one of their "higher end" bottlings, but at the same time, to avoid sound like a retard, I try to taste something before running my mouth about stuff I've never had.

>>5949497
I've had the 18 year old, the Ealanta, the Signet, the 10 Year old, and the Astar.

The Signet was good but way too expensive for what it is. If it was half price, it would be great. Glenmorangie is not bad whisky by any means, it's just incredibly average whisky at a way too high price, only sold by extensive marketing.

I am not just running my mouth as you are implying.

>>5949517

Ok, I just hope you apply the same standards to, say, lafroog, which is a $35 whisky that neckbeards trip over each other to pay $60 for because the internet told them it was the best.

>>5949528
I do. I have been vocal about how Laphroaig is regarded our these parts. People just don't seem to pick it up.

I am very tired of every single whisky thread being about Laphroaig 10 Year Old and how it is the "ultimate peat smoke bomb that's only for real men". It's the worst one in their line-up and is only popular because it's fucking cheap. Meanwhile a much much better whisky in the same price range such as Bunnahabhain 12 remains overlooked.

>>5949474
now i'm drunk andn high. what do?

>>5949517
What about the Quinta Ruban? I am new to scotch, never had the original Glenmorangie because the descriptions of it make it sound sort of boring, but the Quinta Ruban sounds really interesting. Way more than the Lasanta or the Nectar or basically every other Glenmorangie scotch. Most people seem to really like it,

>>5949620
I haven't had it, so I can't say.

If you are new, I'd recommend a Springbank 12 over pretty much anything else. Highland Park 12 has been downhill as of late. Other than that, the Bunnahabhain 12 is great, as is Glenfarclas 15.

I wouldn't go spending money on Glenmorangie when a larger percentage of the price goes to marketing rather than quality of production. I am not anti-capitalist or anything, it's just that those two thing usually go hand in hand. But if Quinta Ruban is getting rave reviews and you've set your mind on it, go for it and find out for your self.

>>5949633
Now way I am going to buy any Glenmorangie, way too much scotch that sounds a lot more interesting. I have had Old Pulteney 12 and HP 12 and I liked them both. Springbank 10 and Talisker 10 are the next two I want to try the most. I am just curious about the peat and smoke aspect of scotch so I was going to push off the Springbank and the Talisker (any opinions on the Talisker 10?) for an Ardbeg or Laphroaig. Not quite sure yet.

I also am leaning towards the GlenCadam 12 as an introduction to really sherried malts. I can only really buy entry level 10/12 year old bottles. And it seems to be richer/tastier than Aberlour 10 or Glenfarclas 12 (though the 15 sounds great it is out of my price range).

>>5949653
I am not the biggest fan of Talisker in general.

If you want smoke, my best recommendation would be Lagavulin 16. It might be a little pricey in some areas, but it is exceptionally well balanced and multi dimensional. Ardbeg 10 is a lot better than Laphroaig 10 in my opinion, but both at still gigantic smoke bombs.

If you absolutely want Laphroaig, then get the quarter cask version.

Just my 2 cents.

>>5949674
I'm planning on grabbing myself Lagavulin 16 next time my birthday comes around.

>>5949695
Sounds like a solid plan. Enjoy. It's one of the few whiskies that actually lives up to the hype.

>>5949528
>lafroog, which is a $35 whisky that neckbeards trip over each other to pay $60 for

I don't get the impression that anyone seriously does that.

>I am very tired of every single whisky thread being about Laphroaig 10 Year Old and how it is the "ultimate peat smoke bomb that's only for real men"

I also don't get the impression that anyone really thinks that. Whenever anyone says anything like that they're usually joking, usually followed by *tips fedora*. It probably does get mentioned too much, because it's like the cheapest and most readily available Islay.

>>5949554
smoke
