[Anonymous No.14748132]

Kinda I guess
Aside from you palate sensitivity and really obviously aromas, you will be able to reckon more subtle flavour once you destroyed your mouth enough that can suppress the alcohol flavour

I would suggest you to persist drinking it but I don't actually see the point.
If you like it keep drink it otherwise just stop and move on

They definitely can, but some descriptors are really fucking reaching. Even scotches aged in wine casks doesn't have grape/berry notes, and I'll be fucked if any whiskey described as pinapple couldn't be better described as something else. And really, if you're using more than 2-3 unique flavor descriptors, you're being a cock holster. At most you'd say, "oh this is smoke forward, with some kind of spicy/peppery notes and a hint of citrus at the end." When I see some faggot describing something as "vanilla, marzipan, chocolate, leather, tannin, honey, raisin, spicy, and stonefruity" their opinion goes into the trash for me.

Speaking in relation to beer, I agree with this to some extent. My palate is well developed, but I generally find only 3-5 notes are well placed and the rest of the bunch that people tend to say are present are just a bunch of bullshit thrown on top due to the subtlety of some present flavors.

[Anonymous No.14748176]

I do.

[Anonymous No.14748188]

I can definitely detect differences in whiskeys but I often have trouble figuring out what they are beyond "fruity" or "smoky". I also try to avoid the descriptions or tasting notes because then I feel like I'm just tasting what they've told me to taste and it takes a lot of the fun out.

Those are all legitimate tasting notes though, and a lot of them being basic ones as well. Are you just a basic bitch incapable of finding even the most obvious tasting notes? If you find a citrus note, think about it and dig deeper to think about what kind of a citrus note. If it's peppery, what kind of pepper, black or white? If you find that it's smokey, what kind of smokey, campfire or barbeque? Or does it mix with the other flavors to create more of a briney/sea salty taste?

Most of the time when drinking whiskey, I don't literally sit there thinking about every sip, I just take a whiskey I like, pour a bit of it, and on the first and second sips I try to think about what notes I'm getting, and then just enjoy the rest.

Subconsciously, I think the reverence shown for whiskey is a positive gain for people, since it keeps them from disregarding it and just irresponsibly drinking themselves into a coma. Even if there is a lot of fluff and pretentious talk going on in whiskey (you have no idea...hearing shit like "I spot notes of lavender and thyme, with rounded edges of baked cinnamon apple and a hint of old, NOT new, dusty corn"), but if you can cut through that, find what you like and try to recognize some of the flavors in it that you find appealing, then you're alright. If not, try and work on developing your palette more.

That's not at all untrue. I refuse to touch Laphroaig because it tastes just like I remember my house fire as a kid. And there's lots of random volatile flavor compounds that are close to each other, but people that are reading off a list of like 10 things they "think" they taste are either dumb and can't actually detect flavor and are throwing shit at the wall seeing what sticks, or trying to compensate for a lack of any other personality or talent.

I think people who taste more flavors in whiskey are also people who are acquainted with more flavors in food. I've described things as "lychee" or "osmanthus" before but how many people would be able to go "ah yes, I know exactly what you're talking about".

>berries
The only reason he didn't name a berry is because the flavor is so indistinct he couldn't tell. If it's even less distinctive the note becomes "fresh fruits" or "fruits" or even "sweet."

>>14748132
If you destroy your sense of taste you can taste better.
Checks out.
More like if you buy something better there are less impurities (pure alcohol is mild) that lead to harshness, and if you gain experience you won't be overwhelmed by any single flavor (including harsh booziness and peat).

I generally think it's fake and gay talk, but I had an experience with Glenmorangie where I bought a bottle and had a few glasses, thought it was good but nothing special, and then a few days later I returned to it and the tastes had developed so much it was like drinking something else completely. There was this new depth and complexity to it that wasn't there the first time, and for the first time it felt like I could understand why whiskey reviews sound the way they do. I haven't had this happen to any other whiskey I've tried, I heard it could be because of oxidation and is more common with younger whiskeys.

If you were to believe scotchfags, you can somehow replicate literally every food and flavor by fermenting barley. Obviously this isn't the case for those of us who don't need to justify a reason to spend hundreds of dollars on fermented barley.
So yes, it's just pretentious talking. Because if you don't come up with this bullshit suddenly you realize that it all tastes more or less the same because, wow, it's all made from the same shit with the same method.
Imagine drinking wine and saying "no, this doesn't taste like grapes, it tastes like bananas." Wine tastes like fermented grapes because it's fermented grapes. Scotch tastes like fermented barley because it's fermented barley. Or it tastes like iodine and flaming manure if you're a peatfag, which is the only group worse than IPAfags.
And I say this all as a whiskey enthusiast. The scotch guys are the worst in the alcohol community, even worse than the uppity wine folk.

There are about 450,000 words in the English language. You appear to use only about 250 of them, maybe 500 on an ongoing basis?

If you cannot find nuance in language, how can you possibly be worth communicating with when it comes to cooking food or drink?

They wait long enough for it to cool down in the bottle after distilling is done.

Half of them maybe. You get more variety in nicer rums.

I think you failed to understand my post.
Enjoyment is subjective. Taste is objective.
If you disliked something (subjective enjoyment) and then grew to like it (subjective enjoyment), but its flavor hasn't changed (objective perception) then that is perfectly inline with what I said.

Except the uncolored scotches that look like Havana Club 3 don't actually taste worse. So all the coloring is doing is robbing you of your biases.

Pretentious shit probably. Altough the smell of some black trumpets I worked with a day or two ago reminded me of my last whiskey binge.

Plastic bottles degrade. Even bottled water will have an expiration date.

>WHISKEY IS A MANLY DRINK FOR MEN. MEN DRINK BEER AND WHISKEY AND THEY DON'T EVEN USE ICE BECAUSE THAT'S GAY!

Hey anons you ever noticed how many cocktails from the first half of the last century have crazy weird dangerous sounding names? It's because of retards like this. They had to give hard as fuck drinks tough manly names because manly manly (broken and insecure) men had "views" about alcohol.

I'm here on my 4th overly complicated and super boozy tiki drink of the night and can tell you the fags who say shit like this anon don't know jack about drink.

There is a website about rum - can’t remember the name - where it has tasting notes, and after reading them I can taste the flavours. It makes you wonder whether it’s all just psychological.

The bigger test is to see if you can correctly identify what you're drinking blind.
>we're sipping through some of the scotches I own
>bf hands me a pour of mystery scotch and asks me to identify
And then you talk through what you taste and how that compares to what you remember of your bottles and make a best guess. It's an interesting exercise.

This but unironically, I love the iodine/medicine flavour of laphroaig but I hate normal whiskey. I know lots of other people don't like it but it's what my tongue decided it liked.
