Grabbed a bottle of Gibson's Finest Rare 12 today, heard good things about it.
And a tiny 100ml of Grant's Family Reserve, just in case I get lucky and have a cheap scotch I can buy by the bucket and enjoy.

Now, whisky is definitely making a comeback, and soyboys trying to be tough and fratfags trying be sophisticated is definitely part of and a growing part of the whisky consumers, but it's a bit silly to assume everyone is doing that.
You can't assume everyone that drinks wine just wants to feel artistocratic, or that everyone who drinks gin is a wannabe "mixologist".

Everyone who drinks Jack is a fag though, leaving that there.

Just let us like what we like, we'll let you like what you like, and we'll keep to our own threads, yeah?

Slowly but surely developing a love for gin.
Had a G&T once, then tried martinis, now Negronis, probably aviation next.

Don't seem to enjoy it much straight though, but that's probably just me not having the palate for it yet.

JUST

I can't decide if I like it more neat or with some water. Diluting it really helps since the alcohol burn is pretty harsh to me since I'm not used to it, but the "reward" of the flavor is also gone meaning what little alcohol burn is left just feels pointless now.

I get that whiskey is an acquired taste, kind of like coffee, but holy shit does it have to be this hard. I just want something spicy, warm, and flavorful without feeling like my mouth is on fire. Do they make 30% whiskeys or should I just keep going until I get used to the burn? I used to drink straight vodka when I was a freshman, and after about a month I could barely taste the alcohol anymore. Will it be the same here?

Try adding just a few drops of water next time and try and find a balance between smoothness and flavour.

>whisky is definitely making a comeback
i fucking hate statements like this. whiskey never fucking "left", you 'tards, it's as popular as it ever has been, and i've been hearing about this "comeback" for like 15 years now

[Anonymous No.10355757]

>>10355357

"Comeback" is the wrong word, I was wrong to use it.
It's popularity is growing. Soyboys who want to be manly are buying it now, and new drinkers who try it to be as manly as the soyboys are trying it and turning out to actually like it.

From what I hear, it's mostly this "cocktail revolution" that's apparently going on, faggot mixologists trying to pretend that pouring liquids over ice and stirring it is an art.

These two things is why it's as popular as it ever has been.

I like a good cocktail, but any schlomo can doll up a cocktail.


Though for all I know "comeback" might be appropriate in some places, I've heard brandy went from an aristocratic drink, to a drink for niggers, and now it's just a spirit like everything else, so many in some areas whisky was a hick drink and now people are moving away from that.

I get a lot of buttery popcorn out of it.
It's not "good", but it's scotch. Might be the sort of thing I buy a stupid huge bottle of just to have around to make my good shit last longer.

[Anonymous No.10355774]

>>10353878

You get used to it. You might also be adding too much water.
When I started drinking whisky that wasn't bourbon, I got absolutely nothing out of it. Even bourbon was mostly more burn than flavour.

Keep drinking it, try different things with it, just go back to the bottle every so often.
The bottle of Gibson's 12 I got the other day is my first 100% rye (I think, at least), and I got nothing out of it for two days, but now I'm picking up what it's putting down.

Speaking of brandy, this stuff is $14 and tastes like a $30 bourbon. Great if you like vanilla notes.

It's aged in bourbon barrels, at least all the ones I've seen at the stores. I just noticed the image I posted doesn't say that on the label, so it may not all be done that way and the others probably taste more like a regular brandy.
