>>20983049>overpriced, bland, blended scottish shitYou have to be a complete consoomer retard to pay $300 for this, especially whenever the slightly superior green label is less than 1/3rd the price.People who drink johnnie walker think the only measure of whether a whiskey is good or not is if it's "le smooth"
>>20983069>"le smooth"lmao, do you prefer gritty whiskey?
Better than 100% of bourbons and 100% of cognacs

Better than 100% of alcoholic drinks
Bourbon sucks. I can't stand how sweet and syrupy it is.
>>20983086Do you really prefer coal ila over the other islay's? Imo it is the least interesting, and that opinion seems to be shared by most people, so I'm a bit surprised that someone actually has it as their favorite.My personal islay ranking is:Ardbeg>lagavulin>laphroaig>coal ila

>I like bourbon>I also like cognac>Pic relBest of both worlds. You retards are missing out
>>20984789>Best of both worldsNo, it isn't
>>20984805I can tell you are an insufferable human being just by your response
>>20984789this stuff is really good. i try to keep a bottle on hand but it's so easy to drink through quickly.
>>20983517Beer doesn't taste good. Most alcohols taste pretty foul. Then again, you don't consume alcohol for the flavor, you consume it for the effect.Considering the effect, in my case, is entirely negative (makes me vomit my guts up before I even get a buzz. More than a shot or one beer is detrimental to me), I do not enjoy most alcohol.Occasional I DO like a shot of amaretto liquor in a cup of coffee or an old fashioned (simple syrup, muddled with bitters, an ounce of bourbon, twist of orange peel and a cocktail cherry on the rocks).
>>20984866If beer is so foul why did I fall in love at my first sip of Budweiser? I would also much prefer drinking non alcoholic Heineken's at a cook out over soda or plain water.
>>20983049No>>20983052Kek no>>20983086If you'd said Lagavulin 16 or Laphroaig 10 you'd still be wrong but at least have an argument >>20983277Of their core lineup for me it's Laphroaig>Bruchladdich>Ardbeg>Lagavulin>Caol Ila>>>>>>>Bowmore

>>20984725I don't think you've ever tasted brandy
>>20984778>>20984929I had a dram of Glenfiddich 12 in a pub last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised, quite a velvety mouthfeel for 40%. Easily beat out the Highland Park 12 I had before it. Wouldn't buy a bottle but you could do much worse as a casual malt drinker.
>>20983049>>20983086>>20983088Oh look, it's the paid Diageo shill who has been posting here for years.
>>20984991>anytime someone mentions liking a product made by the largest whiskey seller in the world they're a paid shill and not just an anon commenting on something he likes.For me?It's Talisker 10 year.
>>20984998Yup, just like how anyone who mentions McDonalds is a paid Mickey D's shill, or anyone that brings up anything but the products I personally purchase and approve of.
>>20984852Are you black?
>>20984984>mouthfeelHoly gheyyyyyyy
>>20986271No, but Cognac is a fine liquor for all races to enjoy.
>>20986298I assume you drink Martell too
>>20983049to be frank ,anything is better than corn alcohol
Elijah Craig has always been my favorite.
just bought bunnahabhain 12 cask strength and glendronach 15 to celebrate acing calc 2

I'm a huge fan of Tullamore Dew, the original not the others.Does anyone know any other whiskey that is alike?

>>20986640>weller purple top
>>20983049Better than 99% of liquors
>>20984866I used to think the same thing but after a little while drinking I can genuinely enjoy it for the taste. I just drank some delicious amaretto on the rocks.
>>20986386>Glendronach 15Excellent choice.
>>20983049I tried Blue Label side by side with the Kirkland 12 year blend, and preferred the Kirkland by a long shot. The Blue Label had a weird wet dog note that was very off putting. Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but at that price point that shouldn't be an excuse. I mainly stick to Glenlivet 12 as a sipper, and the basic Kirkland blend as a mixer.
>>20986798thanks! I've been researching to find recommendations for real hardcore scotch lovers' whiskies because i wanted something that felt like my first bottle of talisker (many years ago, probably with higher quality tasks) there's so much chill filtered low abv stuff and Glendronach sounded good. got the 12 year first which is chill filtered anyways but I like it so I got the 15 year cause I aced my calc 2 test today and it was really important to me. REally happy with the Bunnahabhain 12 and cask strength tonight. I'm getting into the glendronach 15 next
>>20987154Bunnahabhain 12 CS is universally loved, great bottle. If you want something like Talisker, definitely check out Ledaig, IMO it's everything modern Diageoed Talisker should be.

>>20987516Do you ever get tired of pretending that drinking scotch is meaningful or impressive in any way? Probably not, I just want to hear you say it.
>>20987530no I actually hate whiskey, I come to threads to talk about things that I hate because it's more fun
>>20986743Based and Chicago pilled
>>20987390>actual hobby like scotch.The hobbyist aspect of whiskey is the worst thing about it. Whiskey guys are almost as bad as craft beer guys.
>>20987570>Whiskey guys are almost as bad as craft beer guysWhat about moonshine guys? Any better?
>>20987592
>>20987592I assume moonshine guys are a bunch of southern drunks with stills in the woods who are probably fun to get blitzed with. If they're anything like whiskey or craft beer guys they can get fucked.
>>20984866>Most alcohols taste pretty foul.I doubt you've had most alcohols, whatever that means
>>20983052cognac? MORE LIKE GO YAK amirite
>>20987154Ive got a nice collection of Glendronach. Probably about 20 bottles covering 15 different varieties. If you ever come across some of the older stuff it's well worth getting. I haven't tried the rebranded 15 yet but it is getting pricey.
America lost alcohol culture in the 20s and never recovered
Should I buy Woodford Reserve Double Oaked or Four Roses Single Barrel? They're both around the same price where I am.

>>20989488yesit's good
>>20984984It’s good for the price
>>20987605This makes me sad.
>>20989830oh, I know. just hoping someone had some luck getting a 2022. I would have suggested opening the Glendronach first since it's a little less extreme. a side by side tasting would be good. Glendronach 12 was my first love, but by the time I got my hands on a 15 it was a little underwhelming and kinda made me happy I didn't get the 18(which had begun to go up already). Glenallachie 10 Cask Strength is pretty decent if the price is reasonable, but keep an eye the batch you get.
>>20990181the glendronach 15 is delicious, but it's like glenlivet / glenfiddich delicious and at the price I can get glenlivet 18 for $5 more
>>20990752Glenlivet 18 and Glenfiddich 18 are both about $150-160 after tax and Glendronach 15 is about $125 not to mention 46% and natural color/non chill filtered.
>>20991003>Glenlivet 18 and Glenfiddich 18Glenlivet 18 is $162Glenfiddich 18 is $135 (and on sale ~$110)My local only has the 12 year Glendronach, and it's $75.

>>20983049better than 100% of bourbons
>>20991181>drinks gasoline
>>20991181Who cares what % it is?I regularly buy 40-45%, but I also buy 50-60% shit too. If you ONLY buy high proof I assume you're a retard.Nothing wrong with going for single barrels or barrel proofs or whatever, but if you look at one barrel proof at 51% and another at 62% and you mind tells you that you HAVE to buy the 62% one, you have a problem.
>>20991273I actually mostly agree with you. I enjoy quite a few rums and brandies at 42-43%. But 40% Is a hard no for me. If a brand is bottling at the absolute legal minimum then they aren't putting the care into their product and are seeking to maximise volume. And/or they're targeting people who don't drink spirits and are scared by flavour. Even Glenmorangie manages to bottle at 43%.
>>20991273>dilute 62% whiskey down to 40%>have 11% more whiskey than diluting 51% whiskey down to 40%in the absence of knowing what a barrel pick tastes like, higher proof whiskey is better value
