i just ran out of four roses. what should i buy next

>> No.14173332

>>14173313
Looking for something sub$30 like four roses is? I'd try Old Forester signature. A little bit more and you can get Woodford..Buffalo Trace, Russel's 10..
In my eyes the $30-$40 bracket in bourbon really shines, where if you'd try to sip any other cheap spirit neat at that price range it'd be an exercise in misery.

I drink Jim Beam white. I got a bottle of Woodford Reserve recently, I didn't like it at first.

After some air got into the bottle, it seems to taste a lot better. Really like it now. Anyone else have this happen?

just finishing this one. loved it for the kick and the price.

I'm going on a one-week dry spell just to make sure I'm not getting *too* used to an everyday drink.

I'm not at home so i cant post it, but my current daily is 4roses single barrel. i think rum might be more my speed than whiskey though, i've whittled a bottle of goslings family reserve down to the last few glasses and have a bottle of kirk and sweeney 18 on the way.

I've also got a bottle of wray & nephews but im a stranger to anything above 55% abv and the few times ive tried drinking it neat have been tough.

anyone /rum/ here that can tell me what im getting into with kirk and sweeney? any recommendations on what to get next?

This is what I have on hand right now. I've pretty much decided on the Botanist as my go to gin, but wouldn't mind finding something a little cheaper that's still floral for daily drinking. Laphroaig and Ardbeg are there because I haven't had a decent Scotch in a long time. I need to start branching out into non-Islay Scotches, though. Bulleit is just what's on hand presently for a daily whiskey - also like Woodford a lot but haven't explored much beyond that. Reservoir is my first foray into local stuff and it's amazing. Expensive, though.

Biggest differences between Laphroaig and Ardbeg in your opinion?

>> No.14173996

Current main ones (depending on if it's a whisky, rum or brandy night):
Carhu Gold
Chairman's Reserve
Remy Martin 1738

Got quite a bit in at the moment, so I cycle around.

>> No.14174007

>>14173967

To me Laphroaig is basically one dimensionally smokey (that's not really a bad thing) in a Latakia pipe tobacco way, where Ardbeg is a little more camp firey and has some other traditional whisky notes like caramel and vanilla.

Laphroaig is smoky with briney and medicinal flavors. Ardbeg is smoky with citrus/pineapple flavors.

hey y'all im not much of a drinker but i build ship's in bottles, the limiting factor is the width of the opening. Any of you alcoholics know of any wide mouth bottles, would really appreciate it.

Most bottles are sized for standard corks or caps, you're going to have to do some real hunting for limited run bottles.

Or just use a mason jar.

My brother is a raging alky, and after years of buying literally a bottle of bourbon a day, and trying dozens of different kinds, he settled on EW as his go to. It's decent enough, very cheap, and gets the job done.
