What's the best alcohol for drinking alone on New Year's Eve?

[Anonymous No.18754133]

>>18754121
Start with a really good champagne. Then some sherry because it's christmas. After that good beer until midnight. Drink shitty sparkling wine and feel forever alone feels at midnight. Cheep beer until you pass out.

Trust me, I'm an expert.

Some people consider it a tradition to kiss your loved one when the NYC Jew Ball drops to signify the incrementation of an integer in your derivatives spreadsheet. But what the elites don't want you to know, is that you can simulate this experience with two hot dogs from your refrigerator. Heat them up to room temperature for 30 seconds in the microwave if if you want - or leave them cool & clammy, for that "unsupervised morgue intern" experience. When you gradually and regretfully regain consciousness around 13:00 the next day, you can boil and eat the hot dogs like a normal human man eating a normal human hot dog breakfast, thereby erasing all evidence of your violently desperate sadness. Fuck, it's 2023. An entire year, gone, wasted. FUCK. Are there any half-empty flat stale beer cans left without too much mold floating on top? Did I have a Zoom call scheduled today?

Well since there’s no /wg/ I’ll just post this here. I managed to grab this baby today and already popped it open and holy mother of eternal flames this baby sets you on fucking fire. You know how you get different kinds of drunk from different liquors; you have the happy kind, the zen kind, the serious kind… well this one just makes me feel fucking alive. I know Glenfiddich can be a bit of a meme and they’ve been fucking around with 40% ABV bullshit for some time now… but this sucker at 50.2%… holy shit. Glenfiddich really do know how to make a seriously good scotch when they aren’t being held back by their fucking bean counters. I’m so glad I picked this bottle up and given them a chance on this one. This is easily 95/100 material for me, possibly even higher. It’s going to take me a while to settle on a final score but this is definitely right up there as one of the best whisky’s I’ve ever had and I’m honoured to have opened it on this day. Unfortunately Glenfiddich in their typical stubbornness aren’t making this easily obtainable. It’s only available at the duty free at an airport in my country. Fucking hell.

What's the story here, anon?

[Anonymous No.18756359]

>>18756230
They’ve been dropping ABV on pretty much their entire core range and then some. Even their fucking 26-year “Grand Couronne” is 40% and the cheaping out to get more bottles per cask shows. Imagine paying that much and not getting at least 43%. Granted ABV isn’t always everything but Glenfiddich especially being more typically tame heavily benefits from being bumped up a few notches.

I guess the steretype that Scots are cheap is real then. Thought it was another Disney invention.

But what led to that decision? Profit maxing only? Supplies running low? I'm not baiting, just not as involved in whisky as you seem to be.

Do a few more percentage points of ABV really make that much of a difference in taste?
>typically tame
I like it when you can't taste much of the alcohol in a high ABV drink, to me it's like a sign of quality. Rotgut liquor just tastes like alcohol, whereas good liquor really has flavor to it. Or are you saying that a little more alcohol brings out more or different flavors in a good whisky?

[Anonymous No.18756498]

>>18756412
For whisky I generally find that the ABV going up brings out more of the flavours, especially flavours which tend to linger at the back. Glenfiddich for me has always been more fruity with hardly any peat and not that much oak. And while I do still appreciate the Glenfiddich 18 40% as it’s really a decent bottle it’s also kinda annoying that I often feel that the flavours could be exposed a little more, because there’s really a lot going on. I agree with you though that one sign of a good liquor is having a silly high ABV while not actually tasting any of the alcohol, which Glenfiddich knows how to master. So it’s somewhat aggravating that they’re purposefully nerfing themselves. I don’t think anyone really knows why but the rumour is that they just want to get more bottles out. Glenfiddich has also been doing this thing where they’ll do restricted releases of higher ABV bottles like the one I just acquired (it’s pretty much limited to duty free merchants at airports and only in select countries). And from what I heard the original 18 43% can still be acquired but only at their distillery. It’s bloody annoying because they know their shit. The 15 VAT 03 50.2% I got was only about 80US$ and alcohol taxes in my country are stupid high. So they also know how to release a fucking stupid good product at a very decent price. Yeah. Go figure. I both love and hate Glenfiddich, but at least I managed to get one bottle of the VAT 03 and I’ll enjoy every last drop of it.

>>18756498
Pretty sure glenfiddich brought the 18 back up to 43%. It's a decent bottle and slightly mogs glenlivet 18 which is a pathetic 40% now too. You pretty much have to avoid the huge brands to get a good bottle of 10yr+, non-chill-filtered, and natural colored scotch these days. The big brands are getting mogged by shit like Arran and the like, and seem to be slowly returning to decent bottlings at least.

That's not necessarily true, anon.
Many here have had families fractured deeply and irreparably by the events of the last three years.
Some, like myself, don't want to buy into the frantic madness most seem to be willing to throw themselves into just to forget, or at least distract themselves for a night, of the implications of $6/dozen eggs, $20 fast food "meals" and the rapid whipsawing of social narrative we've been rollercoastering on.
I'm completely content to relax, reflect on the year, prepare myself a nice meal, and wait for the inevitable fireworks and gunshots to die down for my yearly stroll around the neigborhood in contemplation of my plans for the year forthcoming.
Nothing wrong with that.
Enjoy who you're with as the odometer clicks over another year, even if it's only yourself.
It's one thing to SAY you're going to be better in the upcoming year... ...very much another to DO it.
