True, red label doesn't taste very good. It's for people who have no interest in whiskey at all and just want to drink something that's called scotch because they've seen it on TV.

[Anonymous No.5081477]

Everyone knows Red Labels for mixing. The only person who liked it straight was Winston Churchill, and you dont wanna emulate him right?

Red Label is overpriced shit, unless you're really into peat.
Overall it's just a terrible example of Scotch whiskey.

If I'm drinking whiskey neat I usually go for Evan Williams. Best-tasting bourbon I've had and near the cheapest.

I've already got my budget bourbon worked out (Jim Beam), but what about babby's first scotch?

[Anonymous No.5081610]

>>5081531
It's a wheated bourbon, so yes. Sweet and smooth goes with the territory. Some like it (mostly novice drinkers) but a high-rye mash tends to give more robust flavors. Though Pappy is a wheat mash that even the biggest bourbon snob loves (or says they do), so who the fuck knows.

No. Get a bottle of Elmer T. Lee if you're on a budget but can afford more than random ass supermarket floor polish. Beam as your budget bourbon is like picking Captain Morgan as your budget rum (when you can get something like Black Seal or El Dorado 5 for the same price) or Smirnoff as your budget vodka (when you can get the far superior Sobieski for a lot less).

Aaand wrong.
Sorry, but if you think buffalo trace is the best you can get for 30 bucks or less, you either live in a hellhole of expensive alcohol or don't know much about whiskey. Ezra B. 12 year single barrel, Evan William's 12 YO single barrel and the 12 year old expression of elijah craig are superior whiskeys and can be had for about as much as buffalo trace. As for the <$50 category...it becomes pretty apparent that you're new to drinking. Oh and as for "cheap" bourbons...try a bottle of early times 354.

[Anonymous No.5082228]

>>5082204
Crown is the worst there is. IT took you this long to figure out that the whiskey with the fancy bag and bottle was trying to compensate for something?

A couple things:

1) Old Grandad is the best cheap bourbon. Evan Williams is vile gotrut compared to OG. I will take a bottle of it over Maker's or Woodford any day, regardless of price.

2) Canadians don't know a damned thing about making Whiskey. Crown is indeed awful.

Black Label is pretty good with one cube in it. Let it sit for just a bit before drinking. Same goes for blue label but...yeah expensive.

For bourbon I would go with Knob Creek if you like heat.

Mixing I think Crown works well or neat but paired with certain sweets like vanilla or berry. (vanilla ice cream and berry pie is pretty fuckin choice)

If you like a lot of smoke go with McCarthy's single malt, it comes out of portland, it tastes like a god damn campfire, its amazing.

If you want some interesting stuff to have neat try Suntory Habiki, I didn't really know Japan produced a lot of good whiskey till about a year ago, but its good stuff, a little hot like bourbons but not so intense.

If you can, never turn down a glass of pappy van winkle, but more importantly never turn down a 2nd, the 2nd is always better.

"Japanese Scotch Whiskey" doesn't exist (Scotch Whisky must be made in Scotland using only Scottish barley and water), but Japanese Whisky is very, very similar to Scotch Whisky and is, by reputation, very good.

Both Pappy van Winkle and William Larue Weller (the antique collection one) are absolutely world-class, and both are wheated bourbons. Just has to be done properly, like with any style of whiskey. Makers Mark is not done right imo; too sweet, too one-dimensional, too harsh (and too overpriced). Maker's 46 is quite a bit better but even so it's still really overpriced.

>>5082253
I love scotch as well (and yes, Lagavulin 16 is excellent, though I'd give a slight edge to the distiller's edition), but plenty of scotch is good before hitting 16. Below 12 tends to be a bit young I'd say but even then there are a few that are still good at that age; young spirit does have its advantages at times.

>>5082308

Ya, older=better is a pleb level mistake. There's a point past which whiskey stops improving, and a point after that where it actually gets worse. It's even more pronounced with bourbon. Chuck Cowdery (one of the world's greatest experts on American whiskey) has said he thinks bourbon hits its peak around the 12 year mark, and generally doesn't like anything much older than that, although most people would put it at 14-17 years.

I was going to post a refutation of your post, but I was just drinking a glass of Old Granddad BiB, and I realized that it was just as good as, if not better than, any bottle of Buffalo Trace I'd ever had. And the Evan Williams single barrel is so good that if I've got to spend up to but less than $30, it's usually between that, WT101, EC 12, and Eagle Rare 10 (a Buffalo Trace brand). I rarely buy Buffalo Trace for myself.

Anyone who suggests that Knob Creek is an exemplar in any price range is an idiot.

I'm also getting sick of Woodford. On a good bottling, it's really, REALLY good. But I've had enough stinkers to know that it's got some major consistency problems. I'm convinced that Bulleit is for people who don't really like bourbon all that much.

Weller 107 is up there, but there are plenty of great bourbons in the $20-25 range. Elmer T. Lee, Evan Williams Single Barrel, Old Grand Dad 114, Elijah Craig 12 Year... If you can get your hands on some Weller 12, do it.

Scotch is horribly, horribly overrated. It's not inherently better or worse than any other style of whisk(e)y. If it's your thing, it's your thing. If it's not, don't feel bad.

Real connoisseurs will admit this. In my experience, the people who give scotch a bad name are the kind who mainly drink shitty blends and cheap single malts and just want to feel superior

You're not a faggot, but you're getting ripped off and buying overrated, over-hyped, over-advertised garbage. JD is, at best, mediocre, and their standards keep slipping lower and lower. You're better off buying George Dickel (especially the No. 12)

Laga 16 is still pretty dry and peaty. It has the sherry influence going on, but Laga 16 isn't what I'd consider entry level
.>>5090867 JD's is a great example of what marketing can do for a brand. The whiskey is pretty bad, but it's easily the best selling whiskey along with Jameson's. Dickel sells poorly in comparison so they have to make better product to try and compete. JD's doesn't have to change their business model at all and they'll still get a shit ton of money from people with bad taste

hrm, but that's spiced rum. Different beast. And, aside from FourSquare, there isn't anything premium about any of the brands of spiced rum, where the rum base is high quality or smooth. Among cheaper rums to buy the cheaper rums, neither of your selections are about quality. You're still in the mass market mindset of "brands" over ratings.

For "budget" depending on where you live is a HUGE consideration for what you have to pay. Between imports fees and muncipality control and fees, a big bit of price is local advertising by the specific importer to push it, as well as competition. If you live somewhere without a Total Wine, boohoo, and if you live somewhere with only an ABC controlled by your county, oh man, you don't even get a good selection either.

Not sure if I should make another thread but this seems related.

Situation: My son in law came over with my daughter last week and he apparently found out I like a good dram. I have no idea what got into his head but he gave me pic related. Now, I love my whisky (note that's not "whiskey") but he obviously doesn't drink or else he'd know better. My shelves are lined with the good stuff - Lagavulin 12, Laphroaig Cask Strength, and Ardbeg. I keep a bottle of Talisker around for when there's a pleb visiting.

Needless to say, I cannot have this in my cabinet. It's a blend, made by Johnnie Walker of all things, and you can undoubtedly calculate how many bottles of Ardbeg he could have gotten me instead. I smiled and shook his hand but I later instructed my daughter (in writing) to make sure this never happens again.

Anyway, obviously I have to do something. They're coming again to visit next weekend and the bottle needs to have some missing when they get here. I could pour some out but the ancient artisans who lovingly crafted this rare spirit will be spinning in their graves if I did that.

So, what mixes well with Blue Label? I only ever drink single malts neat from a Glencairn glass, or at most with a tiny splash of Speyside Glenlivet bottled water to bring out the nuances. I do *not* want the nuances. I was thinking of getting some Drambuie to mix in, but that's disgustingly sweet. Any less discerning gentlemen out there who could recommend something? Perhaps a good bottle of tonic water?

I think the powdered sugar gives a little foam, but I buy the powdered egg white when I find it. It's usually at Whole Foods. I've been meaning to try Eggbeaters whites. I also add a slice of orange, rather than lemon, and a good splash of the maraschino juice with that cherry garnish.

My whisky of choice for them is Jamesons. I pick up that sherry note, and no smoke.

You're starved for choices here when it comes to American whiskies:
Elmer T. Lee
Elijah Craig 12
Rittenhouse Rye
Old Grand-Dad 114
Evan Williams Single Barrel
Weller 107
Four Roses Small Batch (usually a bit out of your price range, but you can find it for $30 if you know where to look)

Honestly, I'd have a harder time listing things in that price range that aren't worth trying at least once. Stay away from anything under 85 proof. Don't get Knob Creek unless you can find it for under $25- it tends to be hugely overpriced. I think Jim Beam Devil's Cut is disgusting, but that's just me. Bulleit is massively overrated, IMO (their rye is a bit better).

As for other varieties of whisk(e)y, your options aren't nearly as good. I'm not the right person to ask about Irish. There aren't many scotches in that price range I can recommend. Black Bottle is a surprisingly decent blend. I've heard good things about Pig's Nose as well. As for single malts, the Glens ('livet and 'fiddich) are both solid. Canadian whisky sucks. While there's no accounting for taste, I can make a pretty good semi-factual argument for why I feel that way

>Best whiskey/bourbon for mixing under $25-30? I usually go with whiskey & ginger for that smooth taste.
>Any good mixes for whiskey?
Whisk(e)y tends not to be a very good mixer. It's much better in drier, more spirit-forward drinks-Manhattans, old fashioned, Sazeracs, etc. Ginger ale or ginger beer is one of the only things I'd recommend. As for the whiskey, just get something cheap.

It's insanely overpriced for what it is. Even if it wasn't, I still wouldn't buy it out of principle because of it's blatantly misleading marketing

Older than dirtfag here, Reddit is fine, I just personally can't stand the circle jerking.

Everyone sucks each other's balls to fit in. It's pathetic.

>Same goes for everything in Scotland. More malt, more sherry, more peat, more smokiness

See what I did there?

[Anonymous No.5093541]

For me, the foulest shit is tied.

1. Some shit pizza I bought south of Washingtion Square Park in NYC when I was in HS, I took one bite of that pizza and spit it up into the closest garbage can whilst throwing the rest into same can. That's a place I avoid now. That's an NYU area, known for shit food and shit degrees.

2. Shit I made for myself. I made a salsa which was really good in a blender, apparently I didn't clean out the blender properly and made some daqueris in it. After I made them my girlfriend and I tasted them looked at each other and spat them out into the kitchen sink. Those were just plain nasty since they had the salsa flavor in them, that doesn't go with a daquari.

It's better because of the food. Canadian food aside from poutine isn't food. No minorities or ethnic people aside from Asians to contribute anything. It's either English or Chinese food

I love how Americans sometimes play the minority card as a positive attribute when they have to.

But no, Canadian citizens are incredibly diverse. My high school was full of Iranian, Jews, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians, etc. Not that I am bragging.

HEY GUYS, DO YOU LIKE SCOTCH? I LIKE SCOTCH A LOT. MUCH MORE, IN FACT, THAN HAVING POINTLESS RETARDED ARGUMENTS! WHAT KIND OF SCOTCH DO YOU GUYS LIKE? I LIKE REALLY PEATY ISLAYS, ESPECIALLY ARDBEG! ARDBEG IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN REHASHING SHITPOST-Y ARGUMENTS FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!

Poorfag college student here. I try to buy something different every time I go out to get something, which isn't often given my budget. Usually stick within the $20-$30 range. I keep gravitating back to WT101 though. First time I bought it, the store had it on sale for $17 (keep in mind NYC so thats probably the average price), so I figured why the fuck not?

Anything else similar to this that I could try instead of going in blind every time I go shopping?

[Anonymous No.5093731]

>>5093718
Have you tried Elmer T. Lee? I highly recommend it. A bit pricier than WT, but it can hold it's own against much more expensive whiskies. You can usually find it for ~$25, although some places are starting to charge as much as $30

I should really learn some whiskey cocktails. Whenever I break out the shaker, I'm usually fucking around with some kind of Sidecar variant or making Margaritas.

Are Sazeracs really that great? I've wanted to add them to my arsenal, but can't be arsed to drop $60 on some absinth and hunt down some Peychaud's just for that.

A lot. In fact this "small batch, special whiskey" marketing strategy from Ardbeg helped a lot bringing peat back into the liquor stores since a few years.

Unless you enjoy it on it's own, don't get real absinthe. It's just not worth it here. I'd recommend Lebanese arak (not to be confused with Batavia arrack or coconut arrack, which are entirely unrelated), or Herbsaint/pastis if you can't find any. Really, you can get away with using almost any anisey spirit here- it's just a rinse on the glass. I've used ouzo in a pinch
