Scotch, Irish, American, Japanese, Canadian, Taiwanese and so on. What are you drinking, /ck/? Chivas 12 here. From the 80s for the Italian market. It's got a built-in plastic stopper, which means it pours out very slowly. Still, beats modern Chivas 12.

Don't ask for flavours, ask for mild, medium or strong cigars. I'd grab a medium flavour so you can tell if you want to get a stronger one next time or a lighter one.

Also dont be overwhelmed by choice, best thing to do is just pick anything, grab a few individual ones and keep the rings for reference later.

Grant's is a non-offensive whisky, not good but not bad, it's alright when it enters the mouth but the after-taste is gone in seconds. It's way cheaper than utter shit like Johnie Walker red and it's not soft stuff like J&B. The Famous Grouse is another cheap whisky that is OK and stays longer in the palate but I kinda prefer the character of Grant's.

They're both made at the BT distillery, and are often shipped off together. Regular BT costs half of what Blanton's costs, so BT wins on the price point. Blanton's does have an interesting gimmick, though.

Bourbon Rankings Spreadsheet Update:

Several of the bourbons with common man/rabble ratings on Proof66.com were based on the rating of only one person, so I removed those, which reduced the list from 220 to 140. I now include the number of ratings that make up each rabble rating, but it doesn't factor into the scoring. Those that were removed were moved to a different tab in case any of them get at least one more rabble rating, in which case they would be added back. I also changed the price on which the cost score is based from $25.36 ($1 per ounce) to $16.91 ($1 per shot/serving). A lot of things really seemed to click once I changed that.

Buffalo Trace is still the winner. It also has the most rabble ratings (getting additional exposure by being a Proof66.com staff pick probably helps with that).

You are correct.

The score doesn't just take into account ratings from people, but also how well-balanced they are in terms of ABV and cost. Those with the highest scores with the ABV criteria are those that are closest to the average of the list (currently ~46.9%), and those with the highest scores with the cost criteria are those that are closest to $16.91 ($1 per shot/serving). The overall score is meant to identify those that are best suited for regular everyday consumption. Overpriced collectible ones get the shaft here.

Like this one said: >>12664668
Anything with the Bottled-in-Bond designation will not disappoint. To be able to legally call a spirit a bourbon, it has to meet several requirements, and to be considered bottled-in-bond (BiB), it has to meet an additional level of requirements. One of those BiB requirements is that it has to be aged at least 4 years. This is important, because within the past few years the whole industry has removed age statements from their bottles (presumably because demand for bourbon is increasing and they can't produce it fast enough). With Bib< at least, you know for certain that you are getting a legit product in terms of age, and also proof (it has to be 100 proof).

Pic related is the only one BiB I've had, and at $28.99 for a 1.75 L it's an absolute steal.

I tried standard Four Roses at the start of my bourbon journey months ago, but I didn't like it. My Dad and step-mom, who are based AF bourbon experts, insist that I try it again, as it's supposed to be the best great-flavored+reasonably priced bourbon out there. My problem the first time around was that I was drinking it like a college kid, putting it in the freezer and taking shots. Hopefully, drinking it correctly (sipping neat at room temp) will have a better result.

Hitime and Mission Liquor are my go-to mail order places.
Drizly is good for the first few orders from Hitime because you can use some promo codes and get some discounts for the first few orders. After that, might as well just order direct from Hitime instead.

>Highland Park 12.
Highland Park is not cheap and when it does go on sale it's still 70% more than cheap whisky. It is excellent however and one of my favourites alone with Jura whisky, which does not go on sale as much unfortunately.

I regretfully drank an entire 25 year old Highland Park bottle in a single night with my sister once (I was drunk) instead of savouring it.

It will be love it or hate it. Don't go into it expecting either.
It's also a superb, versatile mixer if you end up not liking it straight. A little goes a long ways towards balancing out any scotch-based drinks which are just a little too sweet and need a little something to complete it. You can add a splash if it to any "boring" bottles of scotch you buy as well and a teeny bit will give a boring bottle a lot of character.

I just popped it open and took my first sip. It is extremely powerful, like people said. I was expecting something god awful tasting but I actually really like the smoky flavor so far. Probably would taste better in winter instead of a hot summer night but I'm not complaining.

Peat is nice but people can get really pretentious about it. Whisky drinkers are already pretentious as it is but peatfags take it to a new level.

Any brands you recommend? And should it be diluted? I never liked adding water to scotch even though it apparently makes it better.

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I think there are some good ones mentioned itt.
>should it be diluted
Personally I'd say no, but some people like that. I assume it works the same way as it does with scotch, bringing the oils to the top. Just a little splash of water is best if you do that.

Highland Park 12 Years is real nice especially for the price since it's a premium Scottish Whisky but from Orkney which is kinda separate from Scotland since native OrkneyFags are basically half Norwegian, you don't pay the premium for Scottish Whisky. Likewise you don't pay the premium for English whisky (most based in the Peak and Lake district and so have the good water/peat for good whisky) which have been slowly in development for the last decade or two. In the future you will see English Whisky as good at Scottish Whisky in my opinion, although they will be dominated by Scottish flavour profiles no doubt. Since that's what British people pay for more so than that bourbon crap.

Never drink Irish Whisky (Except Northern Irish Whisky like Bushmills) it's vomit inducing and Irish are White niggers.

Fucking kek. English whisky is very, very poor. Not just The Lakes' range, but St. George's distillery too - despite having ~8-10 year old stock.
>Since that's what British people pay for more so than that bourbon crap
What does that even mean? Where doe bourbon come into this? Older (20+ years) Irish whiskey is excellent. I suspect you have never tasted it.

Bushmill's 10 is the best at the moment in terms of price:quality. Aldi did a fantastic 26 year Irish whiskey a few years ago, again, produced at Bushmill's. The older Cooley releases are great but are ~£300+.
