The last thread died several days ago because none of you fags want to talk about whiskey.I'm currently sipping on pic rel and it's quite good.
Any recs for a something that's >80% rye and less than $50? Sick of this straight rye shit
I'm cooked. The last few times I've drank liquor, even just sipping it, it has triggered severe acid reflux/bile reflux. Fuck my life.
>>22110929I can't drink anymore >:(
Fuck whiskey. Let's talk about Whisky
>>22111412Notable bottles I’ve tried recently:Ardbeg 13 Sauternes finish- superb .. perfect blend of smoky and sweetArran 17- it was ok but pretty basic as far as Sherry finish drams go Balvenie 15 Madeira cask - great summer whisky with a nice fruity peach side to it, more flavorful than I expected
>>22111412Whiskey is fine. Whisky has more variety of good flavors, but it sucks that they're both considered the same general category of spirit, when they don't really share much more in common than rum and brandy do from a taste and use perspective.
>>22111398Have you seen a doctor? If you have GERD there's medication for that. >>22111425This is bait. You almost got me though, too many scotchfags really are this insufferable.
>>22110929The fact that nobody ever talks about hard liquor here anymore is an indicator how dead this board (and website) is.All that's left is either old health conscious millennial people too old to drink without complaining about some bullshit, or the odd youth obsessed neo-puritan zoomer that thinks anything above 6% makes you some kind of uncool boomer.The fun alcohol generation is done
>>22110929new releases that actually intrigue me are far and few between these days and the rate that I see them in my area is even less. was reading about de minimus and its supposed to go back to how it was around this time next year. I'll be surprised if I have bought more than 6 bottles between then and now.>>22111790I'll drink to that.
>>22111558Lol you're overreacting and reading shit into me I didn't say.I said nothing bad about American whiskey, which I like very much (the consistency is a positive when it comes to using it in cocktails), but there's absolutely more justification to consider fast aged new barrel corn/rye spirit to be in a different basic category to slow aged secondary cask barley spirit than to consider, say, vodka and gin two different classes of liquor. This is saying nothing of the comparative quality of the drinks, which I'm not being elitist about at all.
Sunday dram
>>22111558>This is baithow much do they really have in common?>different grains>different barrels>different flavor>different history, culture>different continentthere is not that much similarity when you think about it, they are both aged spirits that happen to share a name and that's all
I bought a New England barrel company single cask rye and it was ok.
new bottle day! yum yum
>>22111140
>>22114446Damn, I'm jealous. How much did it run you?
Not food or cooking.
>>22114516$275... never see it for srp anywhere. life is short, screw itstill want bourb version
>>22111790Didn't the mods kibosh the al/ck/ threads years ago? I remember there used to always be one on the go...
>>22114446Mitchers rye is trash
>>22111140Nashville barrel company 8 year rye is my favorite rye right now
>>22111790Zoomers be like yo one glass of whiskey every Friday evening? You’re literally killing yourself >stays up till 4am gooning
>>22115004Michters is a scam company in general>logo that takes up most of the front side of the bottle is a fucking still>actually an NDP
>>22115670Michter's has been distilling their own shit for awhile now, chudly.
>>22115679Not the shit anyone cares about. Michters 10 for instance is NDP. “Bottled by” not distilled.
>>22115731>this historical company that used to distill their own stuff, took a break, and is currently in the process of distilling their own stuff can't have a still on the label of their 10 year because Brown-Forman actually is the one producing it (albeit to Michter's exact mash bill and standards, and is then aged and bottled by Michter's.)What will you bitch about when they start releasing their own 10 year batches in the next 2-3 years?
>>22113208Too rich for my blood, looks good though.
>>22115746You’re going to be the one bitching though, this is a classic NDP tale >get hyped through bottling legacy distiller distillate >make your own shit >it’s not as goodProbably why michter’s even scammed their way into the market in the first place. Most people don’t even know they are NDP.
>>22115799>make your own shit >it’s not as goodAll their in-house produced small batch stuff is good though?
>>22111401I can't drink any less.
