Deanston is alright but kinda boring. I like Glenfiddich and Glenkinchie. Laphroaig is pretty good even with it's meme tier smokiness.
Also like bourbon a lot, Bulleit is good.

Thanks

I have had the Coffey Grain and I currently have a Nikka from the barrel. Both are very good. The barrel is slightly smoky, a little strong in terms of ABV, and with a heavy sweet flavour. Coffey grain is a lot more mellow. Sweet and kind og fruity taste, basically a breakfast whisky. I would recommend Coffey grain.

Heavy peat isn't as good for prolonged drinking but it's incredible in short bursts. I'll usually drink bourbon for a while, then at the end pour a dram of Laphroaig to finish the night off. If you drink too much, the smoke catches up with you and saturates the tongue too much.

With that said, most scotch is not peaty at all. Bourbon is more overbearing than most scotch. Something like Glenmorangie or Glenlivet is very easy to drink.

Never had bourbon before and just picked up some samples of Eagle Rare, Bufallo Trace and Wild Turkey. What am I in for?

[Anonymous No.15773005]

>>15772988
>Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace
They're the same thing except Eagle Rare is aged 2 years longer and tastes better. Sweet, nice char note, and sort of an orange aftertaste
>Wild Turkey 101
Stronger punch than Eagle/Buffalo, more spice and a bit of leather to it

Genuine question as an al/ck/, do non alcoholics REALLY think different spirits taste different enough to warrant spending money on more expensive brands? It's so subtle that it's almost non existent, in addition if you drink a couple the taste muddles into nothing.

You're not wrong that my opinion is highly skewed, I just can't imagine enjoying the taste of spirits in such a siginifcant way that you'd want 1% difference in taste to decide on paying such a higher price, maybe I'm too retarded

The difference isn’t as minute as your making it out to be. Maybe try comparing brands that aren’t bottom shelf vodka? Have you ever had any?

[Anonymous No.15773112]

>>15773041
I've never had Lidl Whiskey so I can't compare that specific example, but even at similar price points, Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey 101 taste significantly different. Both taste different from Woodford Reserve, which tastes different from Jefferson's or Four Roses.

You might think "it's all just ethanol aged in an oak barrel" but aside from different periods of aging and different levels of charring on the barrels, think of the different mixture of grains used. Wheat, corn, barley, and rye taste wildly different, both as food and as liquor. You could take the same distillery, same kind of barrel, age them side by side for the same amount of time, and anyone could taste the difference between a wheated version and a high rye version. Separate the high rye version into 2 barrels, bottle one at 5 years and the other at 10 years and anyone could tell the difference in taste.

I think that the reason why whiskey is the intellectual's drink goes beyond its price, texture, and flavor.
