caramel heavy, pretty good but overpriced

>>9819438
can you recommend some good whiskeys ?

>>9819429
Shit, if you want a decent starter go for Nikka Pure Malt

cringey weeb whiskey. not recommended. put down the anime and pick up some bourbon like a normal person.

>>9819559
Someone who hasn't Japanese whiskey. It's good stuff. Weab shit aside.

>>9819569
t. body pillow owner

>>9819429
probably the best I've ever had.

Not recommended for people that haven't really had experience drinking whiskey. It's good, but only unto itself- with all the prior experience.

It truly is worthy of its name "harmony" as it balances all flavors subtly, with the aroma's being with a slight hint of vanilla.

is this thing overrated ?

>>9819429
guys my grandma stole my whiskey bottle and i have no fucking idea where it is. I'm having severe headaches, shakes and im clenching my jaw like crazy. I need my fucking alcohol im about to die.

>>9819448
Bulleit rye is delicious and popular. Four Roses single barrel is also a fave of mine.

>>9819926
ghost drinks it so no

>>9819553
This was very much the first whisky where I thought I'd overpaid.

It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's a $60+ mixer. One note on the pallet, raw alcohol. Not so great for sipping.

I just bought this. Is it any good?

>>9819976
scream at her and threaten to put her in a home, one of those ones they talk about on TV where they let you lay there until you get bedsores and shit

What's the best affordable alcohol for a wagecuck?

>>9820256

caramel is the best, AVOID APPLE LIKE THE PLAGUE

>>9820195
Drink it and find out

>>9820256

don't ever say cuck, you people are human garbage, every time, all the time. don't be a piece of shit for no reason.

>>9819429
I had a bottle of the 12 year old before they made it NAS and it was very nice. Very delicate so make sure you clear your palate with a cup of coffee or something before hand and take time to enjoy it. Don't have a heavy beer or something along side as that will over power it. It could be mistaken for Scottish whisky, there is nowhere near the difference that exists between for example bourbon and Scotch. Enjoy, it is a nice dram. If you like it you should have a look at some Highland and Speyside malts next. The Jap stuff is good but overhyped leading to overpriced IMO.

>>9820614
somebody's triggered lmao!

I bought this bottle today, and accidentally told the cute liqour store girl "goodnight" before I left. It was 12 in the afternoon, should I just kill myself?
Also is the whisky any good?

>>9820614
t. Cuck

>>9820652
Did she reply "you too"?

>Also is the whisky any good?

You're the one with the bottle, open it up and tell us.

>>9820632

What does that word mean to you? You just sound like a legitimate asshole saying that. Oh, I said something like an asshole and he was upset! You sound like stupid cunt. Do you like being a stupid cunt? You're the homeless version of the internet.

I'm currently drinking Glenmorangie 20, and it's pretty tasty stuff

>>9820657
Your rage is pretty entertaining, stay salty

You understand projection, right? what happened to your penis, lot testosterone?

Sort of. The Black Label is probably the best middle ground of Johnnie Walker.

Nice meme bottle, kiddo.
Is it as good as the memes suggest?

Stop saying meme. I can't interact with anyone using that retarded word. You seem like toddlers.

So most of you have figured out you're not part of normal humanity, right?

Got some of this

>>9820776
Yes. Why would I want to be apart of the shit show anyway?

I like Eagle Rare a lot. Really syrupy though

YEEEEEEAH dude that's my SHIT

It tastes good but the worm intimidates me

when it comes to nip whisky try pic related

>tfw been drinking since I was 16

This bottle was empty yesterday.
Japan learned a lot in the UK. Japan also learned to manufacture whiskey from the UK.
I am proud of Japanese whiskey. But I and Japanese whiskey manufacturers will not forget appreciation for the UK.

>>9820652

I enjoyed it. But I'm also a whiskey pleb. Just drinking whatever I get shilled on.

what are some good christmas gift whiskies? my family and friends keep asking what I want for christmas and I don't know what to tell them.

>>9820778
I hate the agave worm trend. If anything it signifies that the agave field was infested. In my mind the presence of a worm means a lower quality tequila

t. Cuck

Just got this today. The 42% version is excellent, so hoping this is as good.

>>9819448
Bird Dog is decent for being a sub $20 whiskey.
I second Bulleit.
Gentleman Jack is good as well.

>>9819448
Some good budget stuff:

Wild turkey 101
Evan Williams 1783
Bulleit (I like their rye, never had the bourbon but I've heard good things)
If you can catch a sale Woodford Reserve is good and not too expensive

>>9820256
Black velvet reserve is the best cheap Canadian whiskey. Benchmark Old No.8 is the best cheap bourbon.

>>9820256
What do you like? Do you drink it straight?

Pearl Vodka for straight vodka, better for mixer.
Ten High Bourbon (mixer only, it's fucking paint thinner)
Gilbey's Gin.
Sutterhome/Yellowtail booze
MD 20/20

>>9820652

If you have Hibiki. It is a lot stronger

>>9820256
Wild turkey 101
Pick your favorite gin, that shit is cheap unless you go for Hendricks or a meme brand
Kraken if you like alcoholic candy you can drink

>>9821100
like 99.9%....

Seriously, when did /pol/ start posting here? What an incredibly annoying group of LARPing man-children.

Anyway, I'm currently working on a bottle of this. Very tasty! Would buy again.

>>9824001

I always found Maker's a profoundly generic bourbon. It's like going to the public pool and trying to stay away from the kids peeing in the shallow end. Corn swill is always adolescent in nature.

>>9824014
Maybe the cask strength is different?

Huge corporations don't make boring drinks because they can't make interesting drinks. They make boring drinks because it's what sells.

>>9821033
>18
>Can't drink
>You can make videos sucking semen out of a man's ass and sell it legally
An abstract kind of freedom you have.

So what's a good bourbon to start off with? The only stuff I've had previously was Wild Turkey 101 and it's not bad, but I'd like something that's a bit on the nicer end. I was gonna get a bottle of Maker's Mark but it seems a lot of people don't like it.

>>9824001
/pol/'s shit up most boards by now

>>9824042

Don't drink Bourbon, it tastes like rum mixed with burned oak. Get a real tipple.

>>9820132
who the hell is ghost?

While everyone is dicking around with whisky, I'm enjoying locally-produced rum.

>>9824293

>>9824298
the fuck is that? pumpkins?

>>9819553
Nikka Pure Malt is an amazing value within the cost scale of scotch and japanese whisky.

>>9824054
>>9824001
where do you think pol was before the board existed. they have always been here and always will. the boards aren't monoliths.

>>9824310

that's a dunder pit, you dunder head.

>>9824310

you people really don't know how septic rum making is.

>>9824054
/pol/ has been a warzone shit up to its neck with shills and bad shitposters for a couple months now so I'm not surprised to see an exodus of mostly /pol/ posters to the rest of the boards. Some anons can't leave /pol/ in /pol/.

>>9823458
I always found GJ to be bland for what you pay for it, but it's a nice whiskey don't get me wrong
>>9823610
If you're on a budget and can find Larceny try that one out, it's not toooo expensive and pretty good. If you're on a tighter budget and you want a bourbon, man, good old Evan White Label is your ticket.

>>9824619
It's definitely overpriced, but my friend got it on a sale and I wasn't bitching

>>9824042
I personally love makers mark, and the only time I've ever encountered people that don't like it is on this particular board. Try getting a couple samplers of stuff and work your way from there.

If you want bottom shelf bourbon that is good enough to drink straight, Old Crow and Benchmark are good. For mid tier I would recommend buffalo trace.

What's a good $30 whiskey to give as a gift? I know $30 is probably too low, but any suggestions would help.

>>9825182
Its pretty good fairly sweet imo

>>9824042
Eagle Rare is an excellent option in the 30 dollar-ish range

>>9820666
>>9820676
Checked. Also, I've been wondering on if I should buy a bottle of Glenmorangie, but never have for some reason. I have never tasted it, but I have a fear that it will taste bland and too soft, since I really like my sekrit club sharp whiskys, with strong aroma and taste.
There's nothing better than overwhelming flavors.
Anyway, last few times I've been wondering on Glenmorangie, instead I have bought a bottle of Balblair 1st edition, Highland park 12yo viking honour and something else that's currently slipping my mind.
Anyway, which one is the best one, regarding the strength of the flavors and overall price-quality standpoint?

>>9820771
What's with nips having mostly ugly bottles for their whisky? Most from what I've seen look like stupid cough medicine bottles. Granted, there's not many of in this thread, instead being 2 pretty ones and 2 ugly shits, but shit man.

>>9820264
Rich and rare is neither rich nor rare

good price for whiskey though

>>9825182
I work at a liqour store and would recommend Pendleton. Simple basic whiskey that everyone can love. a fifth is around that price where I live. Makers Mark, Jack, Jim Bean are all good choices too if they're new to whiskey or in their twenties.

But as a gift - could give a better recommendation if you know what they normally drink, more details.

>>9819926
its good, but overpriced

>>9820947
isn't Buffalo Trace the same mash and everything, just not aged as long?

I've got some of this and some The Botanist in stock right now.

Monkey 47 is hands down the best gin, even the best liquor of any kind, I've ever tried. Going back to St. George Botanivore (my #2) when it's out though because holy fuck it's expensive.

>>9819429
Hibiki 12 was god damn amazing for its price back in the day.
Now Suntory has gone full jew for at least 5 years. Fuck them and their non age statement whiskys.

>>9820778
I used to drink that sometimes. Good smokey flavor. Trick to the worm is to kick it back with the last swallow in the bottle.

>>9824333
>>9824333
Newfags and redditors will never understand this. The idea that one person could post on multiple boards is utterly foreign to them. They apparently think you're supposed to pick your favorite board and never visit or post on any other boards.

>>9824014
there are good ones out there for those that look. like this little number i picked up today.

Rate my little stash

>>9825761
Nice

>>9819429

Bought this last night due to this thread and needed a new bottle. Shit is pure fucking kino.

>>9820249
Don't panic! Here's what you do: Get a car battery and starter cables...

Is this stuff good?

>>9825619
People aren't perplexed that people can post on multiple threads, they're perplexed as to why they would bring up their raceplay fanfics on a cartoon thread, or an anime thread or a fucking cooking thread. Just like furries, /pol/ HAVE to insert their fetishistic beliefs into every conversation. Can't have a single discussion on whiskeys without people bringing in "BLACKED" or "lel (((jews)))" into it even though it contributes nothing. Imagine if I started posting in here with GoT memes and berating people who don't like Stannis, I'd look like a fucking moron. Because I would be. Because /pol/ posters are fucking morons.

>>9826294
The thread literally started off fine before some newfag complained or a shitposter baited about two words used in many boards. Then someone mentioned and complained about pol despite nothing political being said.

You are a liar and your faux outrage speaks of outside faggots who come in solely to shit the place up in the most insidious manner possible.

>>9825681
you lie

>>9825681
and your pic came from here - http://www.bobsbrewandliquorreviews.com/2011/11/george-t-stagg-bourbon-2011.html
btw.. a bottle of Stagg from 2011 is probably like $700+

>>9824042
Larceny (under $30)
Heaven Hill (under $15)
I also love Benchmark 8 and Buffalo Trace.
I would recommend not paying much for bourbon until you know what you like. Larceny and Benchmark 8 are the two best I've had and they're both well under $30. Good bourbon does not need to be expensive.

>>9825761
pleb tier brands, but you got the best of them

>>9825761
Is it just me or does macallan lack any distinctive taste? Its not a bad scotch, but it just seems to be a run of the mill whiskey,

had my first alcohol experience last month
started with good old beer, didnt take to it.
tried shots, i kind of liked that but i guess its not for drinking often
then had baileys on rocks, and i absolutely loved it. but im insecure about my masculinity so im wondering, is it considered a girly drink?
also what should i try next time?

>>9819553
Pure malt is a 60-70 dollar of Johnnie Walker black, I got through maybe 1/4 of the bottle before I started mixing it. Nikka Coffey Malt is 10x better

>>9825383
>Glenmorangie
Tastes fine. It gives me a headache everytime I drink a glass

>>9827467
Lots of people start off drinking "girly" shit and expand their palettes as they go, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Try some other liquors maybe. Amaretto is almond liquor and is really good straight, mixed with cola or orange juice.

>>9825461
I have a bottle of this and its a nice gin.

...But I really dont think its worth the money. Also have The Botanist, Adnams First Rate and Abelforth Bathtub Gin at the monent. They are all much cheaper and still make just a good martini.

Took me a while and a few bottles, but I came to the conclusion that expensive gin just isnt really worth it. Sure you can get some nice stuff, but once you mix it, a lot of the subtleties are gone. May as well just use the mid range gin for an equally good result.

>>9828043

expensive gin is worth it if you drink it straight imo.

hendricks is quite common in london (bartender atm) and desu its fantastic on its own with a bit of cucumber ( and yea i know its not super expensive but its definitely good for the price )

i agree that if you mix a nice gin theres not much point tho. if im making g&ts ill buy gordons or even store brand desu.

>>9828074
Hendricks is my favorite gin, although aside from the classics like from Bombay, Tanqueray, Beefeater and Gordon's, I haven't branched out too much in all honesty. Citadelle was also pretty good from what I remember.

Can anyone recommend some other gins to me? Price isn't a big concern.

>>9828074
I havent tried drinking straight gin. Will give that a go with the ones I've got. Not really my go to drink in winter though.

Once I've gone through this current selection, I will probably revert to cheaper versions. Plenty on offer for £15-£25 rather than going up to £30+

>>9828043
I only drink neat, and it really shines above The Botanist. Still not worth it regularly since Botanivore comes so close for so much less money (actually less than Botanist too). Still worth to try once.

>>9828100
Can't recommend St. George Botanivore highly enough. Damn amazing for not too expensive. Their Terrior is great too, comforting pine forest in a bottle, but it's definitely a polarizing taste

Just picked this up for $25 did I do good?

>>9820184
>One note on the pallet

>>9819429
>What am I in for ?
lots of people running up to you and trying to kick your ass

>>9820749
Honestly even the black/double black isn't that good.

I love these threads its the most honest thing on this board. Would like to know about canuck vodka bro. I'm too fucked up to respond.

>>9828903
The bottle looks at least.

>>9819926
Yeah a bit,

Personally I prefer single malt but black label isn't bad as an every day go to.

>>9828519
Never heard of it. Is it any good? Would you buy it at that price again? Would you say the overproof shows like in Sailor Jerry or is it smoother?

Reminder that there is literally no good reason to pay over $30 for a bottle of alcohol

>>9824001
Thanks for crying about it on the food board.

>>9828995
Just tasted it. Smooth (tho less smooth than you’d expect from a 10 year), with taste of vanilla and spices. I’d buy again.

>>9829051
Awesome! I'll try checking it out if it's in the area.

>>9828847
>My preferences are pretty expensive/obscure, you probably can't afford them/havent heard of them
What a pretentious bore.

>>9827467
just go cocktails and mixed drinks

if you want beers drink something sweet don't just drink a light beer and dismiss all beer because it tastes like nothing

not many people drink straight whisky takes years to get to that stage.

>>9819429
It's lovely if you can get it a bit cheaper than RRP. Honey, coconut, bit of citrus.
>>9820195
Green Spot used to be an awful lot better before the packaging change, but it's still not bad. More expensive and lower quality than it used to be. Try Redbreast next.

>>9825681
>mfw the restaurant I work at has this at the bar
>mfw I get a discount on drinks there
I mean it's still $25 an ounce but it sure beats paying 600 bucks for a bottle.

>>9820631
Jap whiskey never used to be this expensive and was genuinely underpriced at one point. I remember buying bottles of Yamazaki for £19 at Uni.

>>9819429

>Drinking blends that aren't Jameson.
Asking for trouble. Jap whiskey has no character, all this will give you both is a hangover.

>>9819429
I've had this one. It's fucking delicious

>>9825461
>>9828043
Try this m8s. It's fakkin lavely

>>9829276
Yeah, it was such a real shock that it became a lot more popular after winning a title like Best Whiskey In The World in Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible. In other news water can be quite wet.

>>9829345
I don't remember all Jap whiskey ever winning the World Whiskey Winnerships. My point was they all swung from terribly cheap to quite overpriced in a matter of months.

>>9828470
Try out Bulldog, some lovely citrus notes. My standard go-to gins are Broker's and Bombay because gin ought to taste like gin, not cucumber. If you want to experiment, Boomsma jonge genever is a nice variation on the same old, a little more body and even a bit of a "malty" backbone that almost shines through a bit. It's neat, also quite affordable. If you like gin, try it out.

>>9827467
Drink what you like, drink things similar to what you like. Expand your palate at your whim. It's your life to live. As for being insecure in your masculinity, stop. There's nothing manlier than drinking all the girly shit you want because you fuckin feel like it. For beer, you probably tried shitty beer. For "shots", that could mean literally anything, but as an oldfag I do consider the fun in doing shots of liquor to be half in the ritual itself, and it also took years of downing shots of whiskey to not gag. I still prefer to sip, or at least swig.

As for liqueurs, Bailey's on ice is great, how can you not enjoy it for what it is? You're bound to find you can handle liqueurs more than neat liquor at first and there's nothing wrong with that. Try Tuaca or Jagermeister.

I'm assuming you're in college and I don't want to know how old you are. Don't go crazy with this shit and don't be a faggot like most of the people you think you see in college. As a budding gourmet, you know damn well that drinking is about life's pleasures - it's about spinning your gluttony desire to get your buzz on as Epicureanism. Cheers!

>>9829282
>drinking jameson

>>9826369
This is all a derail, I shitpost on /pol/ and a bunch of other boards too but I'm here to stay /comfy/ and talk liquor

>>9829359
They didn't. The Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask did, but my point is that naturally Japanese whiskies in general garnered a lot more interest by people after one won a prestigious sounding award like that, especially in the internet age.

>>9819429
>What am I in for ?

Watery whisky. For some reason, the Japanese think their whiskey gotta taste like Vodka.

>>9824001
thats not japonese
fucking kill yourself
only nippon allowed

Double Black is nice if you like a good burn and a smoky, woodsy taste. Island green not so much for me, too smoky and otherwise mild in flavor.

Got this for my dad for christmas
Thoughts?

>>9831498
Nice, you're a good son

>>9819429
Overpriced as shit in the states, but worth it if you are in japan and want to pick up some.

>>9820778
>mezcal with worm

that's a sign of shitty mezcal anon

Picked this up on a recent trip to Japan and it was well worth it. Need to make it last

Has anyone here tried aged gin? It doesn't exist where I live and importing it is expensive as fuck for something that I don't know how it will taste. If you have what is it like?

>>9829282
Jameson is literally only good as a mixer and even then I'd rather use Monkey Shoulder.

>>9832153
I know but I've never had Mezcal before and I like to start with the cheap stuff and work my way up

>>9833198
They tax worse than the US its cheaper to pick it up stateside if you can find it.

>>9826268
yes

what's the best cheap rum

>>9835468
bacardi

>>9835468
Lambs Navy.

>>9829276
Yeah it used to be a really good purchase but now the prices are just stupid. The Hibiki 12 I has was around £40 which even then seemed steep at the time, but it is just ridiculous now.

>>9835468
Any clear Bacardi. It’s cheaper than it has any right to be

Whisky anons-
Guys I drank my whole bottle of Lagavulin in 4 days.
My Laphroaig is down to one more dram. My monkey shoulder is half a bottle.
What do I try next? I loved the peatier ones but I’m ready to try something new. Anyone have any suggestions for a couple bottles to enjoy by the fireplace while I snack on sausage balls over the holidays?

>>9836094
Isle Of Jura.

>>9836106
I’ve been told Jura is very different from most Islay scotches. Do you have a preferred bottle?

>>9824333
>where do you think pol was before the board existed.
r*dit,

>>9836112
I've only tried the Origin, which is their ten year I do believe.

>>9820195
>Irish "Whiskey"

Hah, no.

>>9836277
>Makes proclamation with no reasoning to explain position
Opinion instantly discarded.

>>9836112
Not that guy but I find the Origin a bit bland really, not bad just a bit boring. The Superstition was much better, had more personality to it, I'd describe it as a good beginners Islay whisky.

>>9819553
Just go for Nikka by the barrel. Just as good for a quarter the price.

>>9820614
Cugg xDDDD

Tin Cup Colorado whiskey is fucking delicious and comes with it's own little metal shot glass.

Speckled tail isn't a bourbon, it's a Florida whiskey. It's usually only like $11 but it's fucking smooth as hell. And if you're mixing it with quality mixers like pic related, you can mix them strong and it's fucking delicious and easy as hell to drink. The drink I made in this pic is probably 90% whiskey without exaggeration.

Old Charter is surprisingly good for under $20. Very smooth. Almost too smooth. I prefer something with a little more bite.
