Impressive autism my man

>>9706618
Have you heard of different tastes in drinks or are you so self centered that you believe all people must have the same tastes as you?

>>9706644
>>9706632
yes i think people essentially have similar taste buds. particularly for repulsive tasting things. I find this argument to be a predictable cop out.

I don't like rum, it just tastes like burning but with a nice whisky I can get some nice vanilla notes

Let's stick to the general.

Rum is too sweet.

Brandy tastes like shitty whisky that was steeped in raisins way too long.

>>9706618
I do enjoy black coffee and IPAs but I'm extremely picky when it comes to whiskey/bourbon. Smoked malt can fuck right off. Even Grodziskie style beer is too smoky for me, kek

>>9706663
then why is my dad repulsed by cilantro when I love it dearly

>>9706782
Because I love your dad severely.

>>9706618
>Correct me if I'm wrong, but brandy and rum both taste 100% better than whiskey
You're wrong.

wew that was difficult

>>9706680
Generals fucking blow and so do you

>>9706742
Rum is literally made from sugar desu. Brandy is just distilled wine lmao

>>9706618
you're 100% correct, everyone is just pretending to enjoy things you dislike as a worldwide prank codenamed "Make Anon think we like things he dislikes"

in fact, all people only enjoy:
>tendies
>cheese pizza (no toppings)
>soda (not tonic water obviously)
>sweets (not licorice though)
>ranch

it's LITERALLY (and this has been proven BY SCIENTISTS) IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy something with even THE SLIGHTEST HINT of bitterness

>>9706618
Impressive autism OP

Brandy and rum taste way too sweet for me. Even some whiskeys are too sweet for my taste. I prefer bitter or savory things to sweet sugary things.

>>9706826
>is it bitter?
god i fucking hate getting this question it makes me want to kill whoever asks it

>>9706992
>I didn't like it it was really spicy

>>9706618
Drinking whiskey makes people feel tough and super manly despite it tasting terrible
Because it tastes so bad most people avoid it which gives the people who do still drink a weird sense of superiority
This is why you will always see hics, fat girls, or the wana be cowboys drinking whiskey

>>9706680
>let's stick to the reddit
Let's not.

>>9706892
I"ll agree that whiskey is too sweet, but rum aint, and I've never had brandy so no opinion on it

only blacks drink brandy

>>9706618
Wow. Never seen someone admit to such shit taste so flagrantly. And I've been on /b/ and /r/.
Brandy wine is good. Rum is just total shit across the board. The only problem with Whisky is when it's not bourbon whisky.

>>9707129
I'm sure you can find a bunch of dudes to ganging you. But no, you gotta be picky.

>>9706782
cause he aint your dad. it's genetics. lol

Rum is decent but lacks a lot of complexity that I find in whisky. More useful as a mixer.
Brandy always seems to start nicely but leaves a somewhat unpleasant aftertaste. Granted, the most high end thing I've tried is Remy VSOP so I don't really know what I'm talking about.
Vodka remains the king of cheap liquors. Straight up or mixed, it's my shit.

>>9706618
Brandy I agree with, but not rum. Rum is too sweet 2 me.

>It's another cringy poster with the palate of a child thinks people liking coffee or certain alcoholic beverages drink them to look cool episode
Cringe.

>>9707068
Rum is made from sugar cane, molasses or honey. Rum is incredibly sweet as far as spirits go. If you eat lots of sugary food you might not notice that, I dont eat many sugary foods so I think perhaps its more pronounced to me.

>>9708546
OP is clearly a man child who eats too much HFCS and refined sugar.

>>9710004
This is a funny post because its the manchildren who always sperge about whiskey when alcohol is discussed

>>9706618
I drink and enjoy whiskey, brandy, rum, vodka and gin.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

>>9706782
You probably have a group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2. These allow you to smell and taste aldehyde chemicals, which are tasteless and odorless to most of the population. tl;dr he's not your dad.

>>9706666
Quads

Good rum is much less expensive than good whisky (ie. scotch). Rob Abuelo 12, Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva, Ron Zapaca 23, all of these can be had for less than sixty bucks. My bottle of Diplomatico actually cost me about thirty.

So I'd ask that you don't judge the spirit based on Captain Morgan and Kraken.

Fallacious argument. That's like saying don't judge Chevrolet by their shitty Aveos and Cobalts when they have the Corvette

>>9710310
this is actually a p stupid post

>>9710310
Anon listed several great rums that don't break the bank, learn to fucking read before you pretend you're some master debater. Heaven Hill makes some well drinks that obviously aren't really good whiskey, but like a Cobalt, it gets you form A to B, so really don't see any substance in what you're attempting to argue. Heaven Hill also makes shit like Larceny that's great not a huge price step though, so saying you have to buy expensive scotch to experience good whiskey is wrong.

>>9706618
Rum is for people who think whiskey would be improved by pouring sugar into it.

Brandy tastes like dialed-down whiskey. Just compare a whiskey and soda with a brandy and soda to see which one folds under the pressure (hint: it's the brandy).

Rum is on the same level as jack honey. Pure sugar and unpalatable unless you're a teenager. Brandy is alright but it's not something I would want to be sipping on when I can have whiskey instead. As for whiskey, it's hit or miss. Sour mash whiskey is on another level and my favorite alcohol. Regular whiskey is alright. The new fad of smoke infused whiskey is fucking disgusting. Bourbon is great but I prefer it as a whiskey sour. Scotch is decent.

>>9706618
rum is terrible you actual child

>>9706618
I like black coffee and IPAs because they are bitter and I like the bitter taste.

As for rum, brandy and whisky, I don't feel like any is better then the other in the same sense that apples are not better then cabbage.

I'm not drinking brown booze, i'm drinking rum or brandy or whisky. Each type has a variety of different tastes. Martinique plantation rum and appleton estate do not have the same taste. Maker's mark and knob creek do not taste the same. Lagavulin 16 and macallan 12 defenitely do not taste the same.

OP is a man of taste

Gin is patrician, followed by rye and vodka if desperate

OP lost all credibility with his follow up opinion on black coffee. Confirmed palletlet

>>9710146
>bad taste and repulsively expensive drinks
Post your superior taste then

>>9712216
you and op are both tastebudlets

>>9706618
it's called different tastes

also rum can be fucking disgusting, I drink brandy (cognac in france) that would make a goat puke, and there's some whiskeys even a pleb like you could drink even at room temperature, but here we are, debating your narrowmindness and underageness

>>9706618
>I have this theory that the people who drink it are like people who are fans of black coffee and india pale ale
if you meant to pick a beer style that hipsters like just to piss any of them off here, you are mistaken. IPAs and craft beer in general are very mainstream now.

>>9708499
Almost every cocktail with vodka tastes better with gin instead. Fuck vodka. Fuck commies.

Brandy and rum, at least the good stuff, aren't volume drinks. You'll get awful heartburn and headaches after 3 or 4 oz. Whiskey you can drink all night.

Are you all a bunch of newfags? This is some blatantly obvious bait lmao.

>>9706618
You just aren't drinking the right whisky.

Laphroaig. There is no substitute.

>>9712401
So what do you drink, faggot?

I'm drinking this right now and just the smell is making me nauseous

>>9706742
This guy gets it

Especially all the people talking up Hennessy, that raisins thing is on point. Whiskey/Gin all day!

>>9706618
You are just wrong. Rum is gross, the cheap stuff is okay but the good stuff is too sugary. Same with brandy except it's all shit (and I have tried tons of homemade and expensive ones). Whiskey has good flavor and isn't heavy and sticky sweet. I drink everything from bourbon to rye and scotch. Cheap and expensive, it all has a purpose

Good whiskey makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside

Bad rum and bad whiskey make me feel cold and empty inside

>>9707061
Oh man this
Whiskey has become the numale in denial's choice drink

Wait, what do you guys like? I like opposite!

>>9706618
IPAs no matter how boring they get are always better than macro swill at least. Black coffee gets good when it's expensive but 99% drink coffee for the effect.
Whiskey is popular because it's easy to get into for a newbie but it's getting severely overpriced (good Scotch at least) so I assume Brandy stands a good chance of becoming more popular in a near future.

>>9707061
don't you have some toxic masculinity to be blogging about

like i'm married to a dude and you're still the biggest faggot here

>>9715353
>overpriced (scotch at least)
Scotch has always been more expensive in the US due to shipping and import taxes. It's not overpriced. And whiskey isn't "getting overpriced" there's just a high demand for it and the market is reacting with increased supply which results in higher prices.

That's the simple explanation anyway.

>>9706618
Once you’re in the adult world you’ll find people do drink brandy and rum, they’re enormously popular

The reason 4chan loves whisky and beer, and fears every other beverage, is because 4chan is full of insecure youngsters. By exclusively drinking “film noir” beverages they hope to come across as masculine hard men, the dark and mysterious type. The alcohol version of a peachfuzz moustache and an ill fitting suit.

Meh, I like both rum and bourbon, depending on my mood.

>>9715411
I bet you own cowboy boots and carry a knife with you lol

This is what the whiskey drinkers look like

>>9716344
nah i have broader shoulders and more facial hair than that
no tats or piercings either
just drink rye whiskey dude it's nice

>>9706618
I like rum, OP.
I actually really love Bacardi’s clear rum.

But I also like Laphroaig and a few other single malts and scotch blends.

I hate bourbon because corn liquor is gross and rye tastes like shit

>>9716160
No it fucking isn't.

The only explanation for this thread is, that you are an Amerimutt.

>>9706618
>Correct me if I'm wrong, but brandy and rum both taste 100% better than whiskey,
No. It's all about price and quality. If you're spending over $50 and getting legit good spirits, there's not an appreciable quality difference between whisky, rum and brandy, especially because all are aged in wood, giving them all similar wood notes.

have you ever actually had expensive brandy, whisky or rum? You can't even get decent brandy for less than $40-50 in the first place.

The best spirit I've ever had does happen to be one of the high-end McCallan's, but I've had cognacs that are comparable.

>>9706618
It's cheap and made domestically. The quintessential American liquor.

>>9713261
>:(

Can this possibly be true?

>>9716816
It could be true that E&J rigged the contest. Their peach "brandy" and XO are vile.

>>9706618
>Correct me if I'm wrong, but brandy and rum both taste 100% better than whiskey

Well... you're wrong. Taste is subjective. I find rum and brandy to be too sweet, I can't even finish them on their own without feeling sick. I like whiskey and vodka, my girlfriend likes rum and tequila. Different people like different things.

I hate IPA but love whisky. Rum and Brandy are also good

>>9707061
I've had bourbon which tastes kinda vanilla-y.
Wasn't flavored, I think it was like one of the basic jim beam ones too

>>9706618
Rum was a common british export in the Caribbean around the time of the American Revolutionary War so rum became expensive in the post war era.

Whiskey could be more easily fabricated on the mainland so it became the go to drink.

Brandy was never popular because wine wasnt a big deal in the US compared with europe. I'm not saying domestic wine/brandy production didnt exist, it just wasnt a huge deal

What's a good inexpensive whiskey since I've only drank rum and vodka

>>9719242
just chew up some overcooked popcorn and have a hooker that chain smokes spit into your mouth
you're getting the same experience

>>9719242
Evan Williams is about as cheap as it gets and is still what I would describe as "palatable".

By no means excellent, but in terms of bang for your buck whiskey it's hard to beat. Put it in an old fashioned or a whiskey sour if you don't like it on it's own.

I fucking hate rum, hate gin, and brandy/cognac are alright but they all taste a bit too similar. I liked Grappa when I had it in Italy.

I fucking love Scotch though. Legitimately. I think it tastes really fucking good. I'm not doing it as some sort of "look how cool I am" thing, I just think it tastes legitimately good. It also means that, unlike with beer, I can get drunk without needing to piss all the time.

>>9710112
Nigga there are tons of good cheap whiskeys out there. The primary price effects for whiskey are age and bottling limitation.

An expensive whiskey isn't necessarily better than a cheap one. A lot of people don't like heavily peated scotches, but appreciate dark af 8+ year bourbon. Others are the opposite way around.

Others like lightly aged bourbon (sub 4 years) and Irish whiskeys.

>>9719242
There's a ton of decent cheap ones, people bag on cheap stuff without realizing that the prices are primarily tied to branding and time to age. It's why scotches are generally more expensive than Bourbons, the grain is more expensive and they have to age it longer to get the flavors out of the barrel due to climate.

What it boils down to is how smooth you want it, how sweet you want it, and do you like the smokey taste of peated scotches?

>>9719781
This is the alcohol version of "vegetables are yucky, but I love french fries"

>>9716029
>carry a knife with you
There's people that don't carry a knife? Why?
It's the most basic tool humans ever created.

>>9721327
This. I've actually come across a variety of situations where it comes in handy. I also carry a multitool.

I don't really care for rum straight up. Needs to be a cocktail, and I stopped drinking rum haven't touched it for years cause I used to drink way too much of it. Now I mostly drink vodka, scotch, and bourbon

>>9706618
you're a moron

>Burbon is 51% corn
>Corn grows pretty well in America
>The government subsidizes corn
>Media pushing that whiskey is drunk by "real men"

The reason you are slurping inferior booze and put corn syrup in every food item, is to make big bucks for big corporations, cowboy.
