This is my go-to, along with Wild Turkey.

Jameson and I have made a lot of bad decisions.

And Wild Turkey will make you do really stupid shit.

I wish it was worth 25 dollhairs but it's not.

Overall good, but too rough, the Evan white label right beside it is 16 dollhairs an destroys it.

Evan Williams bourbon "Black Label"

Angus Dundee blended scotch

>> No.8712181

>>8712136

Evan Williams makes the best $15 bourbons.

Either white label as the other anon mentioned or 1783 are the best ones, but not every place carries them. Black label is next best.

I tried Hakushu 12 at a bar recently. I really want a bottle of it but i don't want to pay 99 dollars. I really wish Jap whiskey wasn't so overpriced in the us. also Toki is shit i don't know why everyone is so into it all of a sudden

The first time I drank scotch i liked it alot honestly. It tastes different to me now than it did then, but i think what i tasted alot of originally was iodine. There was definitely a taste of the doctors office in each glass. It didn't help that I worked in a Hospital at the time. I tried Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Laphroaig quarter cask, lagavulin, macallan in that order. For a while I had a bourbon kick and drank only four roses single barrel. I got tired of that and now i have basically settled with laphroaig 10 as my go to because i really like the peat and it's very inexpensive as far as scotch goes.

Maybe you just don't like it. Plenty of people don't. Not everything is for everyone. I would say go to a bar that has Laphroaig quarter cask and try that. It is aged in a cask a quarter of the size of the normal Laphroaig so it is much stronger. Afterwards try the normal Laphroaig 10 and it should taste much sweeter and smooth in comparison. I think it's kindof the same thing with coffee for non coffee drinkers. if you give them a sip of black maxwell house or whatever shit coffee and then make them a cup of third wave fresh roasted and grinded coffee in a pour over they will understand how good it is.

jameson's my go to, too. most of the time i'd pay a few bucks more and get the black barrel.
schotchwise i'm more of a speyside type, aberlour for example, or balvenie, even better. really don't like the peated ones. i tried them a couple of times, but they're not for me.
