Discuss whiskey, preferably ryePrevious >>22024251
friday night. summer in the air. dont whisky shit yourself.
Anyone had the bruichladdich rye? Never bought it cause the price seems too high for what will likely just be “a rye” but at the same time I kind of trust them to make something goodAlso I am sick of charred oak where’s the exclusively toasted shit at, preferably virgin toasted
>>22062645>exclusively virgin toasted oak whisk(e)yI have not ever had this.I imagine it would be a dark dried fruit bomb, like a sherrybomb on steroids.Want.
>>22062740Yeah to the best of my knowledge one does not exist. It’s almost always used in conjunction with charred or if it is exclusively toasted it’s refill. Unlikely to find one made by US due to char obsession and there’s only so many scotch distilleries and idk of one who does this. I pray to jeebus someone in the thread might know but I imagine it would be some ultra obscure micro distillery out of germany or some shit lolBasically only advice I got 6 months ago was to DIY with wood chips which I’ll probably have to do some day but still would be good to try one that’s properly aged a significant amount of time
I started exercising again back in February and I have had maybe 6 glasses of whisky since.
Willet is the king of rye and no one can tell me different.
im no mixologist, but i mixed jim bean, bitters, a spalsh of water, splash of orange liquor, little maple syrup and it made a halfway decent almost old fashion.though i think a snappier citrus might be better.also ginger ale and whisky > coke and whiskey.
>>22062971coke is a lousy mixer for anything aside from a Cuba libre
>>22062633How does rye taste compared to scotch?I've tried bourbon and thought it was disgusting.Also Jack Daniels just tastes bleh.
>>22063239My aunt had a hilarious story about Cuba libres.She worked at UCLA back in the 1950s, and one of her coworkers was a Cuban "exile" whose family was involved with the revolutionaries. So they'd all go out drinking after work, and her coworker would buy Cuba libres and have everyone toast Castro and the Revolucion. Then the Revolucion finally happened, and he was ecstatic about it, and was trying to call his family to talk to them about how great it was that Batista was gone and they finally had a people's government and all that shit.And he kept trying to call, and kept trying to call. Nobody was answering.So then one day some distant relative calls him and tells him "Stop calling! They've all been executed for questioning how Castro took over the whole Revolucion! The government monitors all these calls! You're going to get us all killed if you keep bringing attention to us!"
>>22062971What brand ginger ale?>>22063239How is it worse from other cola brands?
I just bought a new riff malted rye and a dark arts amburana finished rye what am I in for?
>>22063321More similar to bourbon than scotchWhich bourbon did you try? Usually people don't straight up hate it
>>22062633How does everyone like picrel? I like it on the rocks. Let the ice melt a bit to water it down some. It has a great flavor for the price. Not incredible, but unique enough that I like to buy a bottle once in a while.
>>22063911I just saw this today for the first time and bought a bottle. Going to crack it tomorrow and give it to my buddy blind to see what he says.
>>22063917Oh cool. Sounds like fun!
>>22062905I need to hit the gym again
>>22062969I wouldn't go that far but the 4-year rye is surprisingly good. I'm never going to pay their bat-shit insane prices for the higher age statement ones, though
>>22064820They lucked out with the rye, I noticed they took the age statement off though, because rye is actually pretty decent with low age but those fuckers are never moving that overpriced 4 year bourbon without adding a couple years to the age statement
Drinking ghetto japanese-u highborru with Evan Williams black label, mineral water and a lemon peelBretty gud honestly, tastes better with evan williams than with scotch desu
My new favorite drink involves bourbon. One part simple brown sugar, one part bourbon, one part cold brew coffee, one part half and half. I call it " Southern breakfast".They don't sell brown simple sugars you got to make it yourself. Not hard really, just a cup of brown sugar and a cup of water boiled in a saucepan and set to cool for 15 minutes.
