Is this stuff any decent? Got it as a gift, so I don't know if I should open it, or just pass it on.

It's not really that high of quality. Its mid tier at best. Don't get me wrong it is good. Nice smooth feel, kind of sweet. I'd say give it a try.

First, you're a dick. Even if someone gives you the shittiest $5 moonshine-whiskey-gin-rum hybrid, fucking drink it for fucks sakes.
Second, it tastes like dining both on and in a real ornate-asf chair.

It's a gift asshole, just try it. That said, I love Johnnie Walker. The only one that is pure shit is Red Label. If you try it and like it, try Double Black. Shit's like drinking a campfire that has been smouldering for an hour. In a good way

Fuckin eh man. It's a fucking gift. It was intended that he drinks it, and since he's never had it before there is literally no reason why he shouldn't. If you're not willing to try something new, AND not willing to accept a gift, you're a shitty human being.

On the other hand, its pretty decent. Really smooth and sweet.

not great for the price, but that's not a concern for you

Black label for $16 is a steal. Stock up.

Are you sure it's black label? That's normally around 30 bucks I believe, so nearly half off would be a very good deal.

Where do you live? You use American currency in your post but European measures.

Why do you keep making these posts about people being salty for criticizing your total lack of grace or self awareness as if it its a rebuttal? Rub some braincells together and try to figure out why people are saying the same thing over and over to you you damn sperg

>> No.6889148

>>6887183
It's alright. Just overpriced, as others have said.

That's generally the case with big brands. They get to increase their prices well above value because of their market power. But then a good portion of that profit is lost to the higher advertising costs they need to spend to maintain their market power.

>> No.6889153

>>6887183
Open it, try it, report.
Personally I didn't like it because of that slightly bitter peatiness in the aftertaste. (tried black and gold label). But several other guys recommended it, so go for it and see.

and an Old Fashioned is normally made with bourbon.

I was in a limo once (roommate had a rich friend and she brought me to his birthday party) and they had this in the minibar. I don't even like whiskey, but it's a pretty good whiskey. I didn't want to mix it with pepsi but everyone else did because they're plebs.

>Filling your bottle of whiskey with backwash
gross tbh

>> No.6889269

>>6889251
You 'fill' a water bottle or any bottle you drink from with backwash as well. With whiskey it's less gross because of the alcohol.

>> No.6889287

>>6889269
The difference being that the long term taste of the whiskey is more important, not to mention that as it's nearing it's end the alcohol evaporates.
That is unless you down the entire fucking thing in a couple sittings.
Water and soda is usually drunk all in one go.

I was assuming that anyone in drinking from the bottle mode is going to finish it in one sitting, to be honest.
