Why don't you buy a 50ml sampler pack of the most common whiskies to see what you like.

I like WT101, Woodford, and Knob Creek. For pure smooth Gentleman Jack, but it's pretty mellowed out flavor wise. Crown Royal is also a fairly smooth all arounder

Pic related is good, though a little thin.

I used to love Jack.
No.7 is solid. Gentleman is great. Single barrel is okay, but more of an ‘exploratory’ experience. Barrel-Proof is absolutely fucking sublime.
To top it all off, the special 150th Anniversary batches were indescribable(pic related). The taste completely changed my perception of what a “Tennessee Whiskey” could be. Even the old-timers at the distillery said “it smells like the whiskey we made decades ago” when it was going through the process.

But I don’t touch the shit now, because my cunt of an ex-wife works at the distillery. I stick to Jim Beam now because her replacement is Japanese, and so is Beam (technically) since it was bought by Suntory.

Tennessee and bourbon pretty much the same. Tennessee whiskey is just filtered with charcoal before aging because Tennessee has to be special. Corn whiskey could mean straight corn mashbill, bourbon has to be least 51% corn but mixed with other grains.

Because they don't want to talk about rum.

One group them want to talk about "tiki" bullshit which just becomes a competition as to who can name the most bizarre cocktail.

Another group like to be on patrol ready to tell you just how many grams of sugar a certain rum has. God forbid you enjoy spiced rum or rum which happens to have sugar because you'll be outcast.

Another sect is waiting to tell you just how wrong you are about rum from a certain country. If you don't know all the styles from all the countries, you aren't welcome.

Amongst all of that, there is just very rarely decent discussions about what rum is good, tasting notes etc.

I know its popular, but it's $30/750ml in ABC Land. I can get WT101, Elijah Craig Small Batch, or pay $40 for Woodford or Knob Creek. It's actually better to buy rare whiskey in my state since the state sets all the prices. Wellers is like $40 and 10 minutes away it's $90 in a free state.

KY fag here. Old forester is a great choice, but I’m stricken with sadness by the lack of Evan Williams. EW black label is dirt cheap but very drinkable, you won’t find a bourbon of equivalent quality for the price. Or if you want something a little nicer go for a bottle of EW single barrel. It’s not the absolute best bourbon ever, but it again comes to the price. What Evan Williams sells you for ~$35 most brands are selling for $45-$60.

>A sub-category of phenols called cresols--specifically ortho-cresol--is responsible for the flavor in scotch some would call medicinal.

Other than that, straight rye whiskey. Knob Creek Rye is a decent, widely available, affordable entry point to rye whiskey. It seems to have about 50% rye in the mashbill so it sits nicely in-between high-rye bourbons and like, 95% rye rye whiskies, it's aged a long time and it's a nice proof at 100 proof.

You're just going to turn whatever you put into it into a tannic, astringent mess.

>“Three changes occur once that whiskey hits the barrel and goes off to rest — subtractive change, interactive change and additive change — and shrinking the barrel size is only going to affect one of them,” he says.

>Subtractive change occurs when whiskey soaks into the char on the interior of the barrel and has larger, heavier molecules pulled out — a kind of carbon filtration. Interactive change is the result of the oxygen in the barrel slowly bonding and catalyzing reactions inside the whiskey (Blake says it’s the process that demands whiskey be aged six to eight years for peak maturity). Additive, the one factor mini-barrels are able to manipulate, is the barrel releasing wood sugars, tannins and vanillin into the whiskey.

Makers is wheated so light on flavor from the mashbill and the cask quality is minimal due to the mass production aspect. if you are new to liquor and want flavor try something high in ABV as the alcohol is what holds the flavor. If you are intent on trying bourbons also consider something with a high rye content as well. theres no mistaking a straight rye whiskey either. most of the big bourbon brands that have a modern reputation are boring as fuck because normies want to say they can drink grown up bottles when they should just be forced to drink flavored vodka instead.

>KY fag here. Old forester is a great choice, but I’m stricken with sadness by the lack of Evan Williams
To be honest my only experience with Evan Williams black label is taking a few swigs at a buddy's house years ago and finding it pretty vile. Maybe I was too trashed and my taste buds were off. I've bought the single barrel a couple of times and I think it's okay. The problem is I can get OF100 for $20 bucks and it beats the fuck out of most bottles in that price range. The quality drop-off tends to be huge for anything that's cheaper. Case in point, I got memed into buying Mellow Corn. I have no right to complain for $13, but yeah I'll spend the extra cash and get a whiskey that's literally twice as good.

>>15447941
does basic makers have a metal cap now? Basic maker's is only enjoyable for first time whiskey drinkers. Makers 101 and cask strength are good. I think Maker's 46 has too much of a bitter tannic taste but others enjoy it. Most American whiskey doesn't have the complexity of great scotch. Wild Turkey 101 and Elijah Craig bottled-in-bond are good cheap bourbons with classic bourbon flavors. 50% abv is ideal for bourbon.

>>15443034
I bought a bottle because it came with free copita glasses. The nose was nice but the palate couldn't live up to what the nose promised.

>>15443095
I like how the master distiller keeps going on about how the human tongue can't taste over 40% abv, at which point it goes numb and can't taste anything. It's probably how he explains away being the minimum legal abv.

The problem is that corn isn't very complex. Try a bourbon with a lot of rye in it though, and you get some great whiskey.
I do wish, though, that American producers would start experimenting more, with things equivalent to scotch. The beauty of American alcohol is that they aren't bound to the same 300 year old rules of brewing/distilling that other countries are, but the mainstream producers don't take full advantage of that fact.

There's plenty of variation in flavor across the market, however due to the legal requirements of bourbon, rye whiskey, etc. an american whiskey is going to have heavy strong flavors that are moderately complex at most. There's a lot of variation in american whiskey due to the ability to use different mashbills, and there's been some experimentation with varying success, like double barrelling and stave finishing. Four Roses gets good variation from its 5 yeast strains and two mashbills. I've heard Lost Spirits is supposed to be decent and uses a chemical reactor to speed up aging.

Very good, the bartender compared it to Weller SR which put me off it because I don't like the regular green label, but it was very smooth, subtly sweet, bit of orange peel and cinnamon/brown sugar, none of the cherry taste that I get from a lot of bourbons which I'll chalk up to it being wheated.

I'm nowhere near an alcoholic just drinking once weekly/biweekly, but I won't pretend I don't drink it to get a little buzz first and foremost. Usually go for Old Forester 100 or Buffalo Trace when available. They're inexpensive, taste nice, and leave a nice buzz.
