Go buy the smallest bottles of whatever you can first and learn for yourself. Something truly 'good' is going to cost the money, and rightfully so. If you haven't had the classic get-fucked-cheap whiskys like KT, Kentucky Gentleman, and Barton then you're doing it all wrong. Canada makes some cheap ass whisky as well. Barton does more than just whisky too, they got cheap vodka and rum I think.
Something good, worth the money, and you're looking at just about anything over $25 for a fifth (750mL). Anything under is subjective drunkard tastes. Anything over $$45 and you're in the wrong state buying the wrong whisky.

I've heard 50mls are usually somewhat worse than full-size bottles, and I think that has to do with using plastic instead of glass and the liquor fouling from leaching/oxygen exposure. My only experience with Maker's Mark was shit presumably because they use a plastic bottle in their 50ml

Is Ardbeg really overhyped or am I just not getting it? I've liked pretty much every other peated whisky I've had so far and I read all this praise for Ardbeg 10 so I got a bottle and it tastes fucking awful. All I can taste when it's neat is this horrible bitterness that sticks to your tongue, adding water just makes it taste a little more oak and less smoky but still the same bitterness.

[Anonymous No.10740805]

>>10740789
I like it but I don't love it. Went through a few bottles when I had my scotch phase.

It, like islay in general, is way overhyped by neckbeards. You should probably drink it more slowly to let the subtleties of bathroom antiseptics and world trade center smoke wash over your palate.

The neckbeard progression usually goes as follows:

Babby's first: Highland Park or Balvenie Doublewood or meme novelty cask of the week
Babby's second: Aged islays
Babby's third: younger islays or QC
Babby's fourth: Speysides and/or Japanese

Anejo tequilas drink like a scotch, so it is essentially like a scotch and soda, a very popular highball. It's a way to taste only the flavor of the high quality liquor when you're not in the mood to drink just straight liquor, it's a very subtle and refreshing drink.

First, any alcoholic beverage that has the word "barrel" on the label can be dismissed as garbage. You should never overtly notice the barrel, such products are aimed at neophytes for whom tasting adjuncts and such feels "sophisticated" and "cool". The beverage equivalent of indiscriminately dumping truffle oil into a dish. Second, "we"? You and your spouse? Did you forget you're not posting from your joint facebook account?

[Anonymous No.10740847]

>>10740830
>that's gotten undue attention because George Clooney founded it

If you follow that train of logic far enough, you'd better give up drinking. The "premium tequila" concept woudln't exist if not for Japanese beverage industry investors. Most of the finest alcoholic beverages in the world got their start because someone famous, from a non-beverage industry, had a dream of being a glamorous lord of alcohol, and bought facilities, land, or expertise with money made elsewhere.

If you want super seekrit underground counterculture, free of THE MAN, MAAAAN, maybe you'd be happier injecting reefers or smoking heroin.

"we" as in me and the other tequila anon. I didn't post the bottle you're sperging over. And literally every spirit has some form of barrel aged variant. It's a sought after flavor.

No, it's just an obvious marketing gimmick of "Le sophisticated man drinking brown liquor smoking cigar" capitalizing on the increased popularity of premium tequilas.

And so does wine. And the same rule applies to wine: if they say "barrel aged" on the bottle, it's crap, peddled to tards who think "OMG I can totally taste oak" makes them a real connoisseur now. Nobody is saying barrels are bad, anon. Or should I say, Mr. and Mrs. Anon.

"Accurate" is a strange word. It's a strategic choice to selectively draw attention to one particular thing. Why not say "hand cut hearts of agave"? Why not "we use yeast strain #234924"? Because you don't notice it. You won't notice it. You're not supposed to notice it. Well guess what, you're not supposed to notice the barrel either.

Selectively mentioning the barrel as an essential part of the product identity indicates, without exception, that the stuff inside the bottle has too much barrel influence.
