“Premium”. I live in nipland and its standard price. Maybe like 45 USD after exchange.

Casualfag detected.
Hibiki is one of the best blends worldwide.

For Japanese whiskies, it can and often does work very well. I can't speak to the hibiki. But I agree overall, I'll take a single over a blend most of the time. On that note, the Yamazaki 12 yr is excellent.

It's generally a bad idea to mix the two hobbies often. Games take time, and drinking that much isn't good for you. Maybe one glass at the start, and not more.

Alcohol is disgusting and literally only edgy fedora lords pretend to like it.

Akashi is pretty solid. I have terrible memories of it though because last time I drank it was in Chiba with a friend when we went camping and brought a ton of alcohol but forgot to bring water and he ended up in the hospital.

yeah, it's garbage

I gave up drinking two years ago. For the first time in my life I got blackout drunk (I've been pretty drunk before, but I always stopped before I passed out or anything). I did so many shots of vodka, rum, and even had a few screwdrivers. I stumbled over to my bed, puked my guts out all over it, and passed out in my own vomit. I woke up covered in vomit with the worst hangover I ever had. Haven't had any alcohol since then.

Why would you drink something that tastes awful?

Get a decent cabernet sauvignon or South American Malbec (red wines) with a tomato based pasta dish or pizza and tell me it's not amazing. Good alcohol can really enhance the taste of many meals. Stuff like whiskey can also be excellent lightly sipped on on their own, but I'd advise waiting on that til after you've come to enjoy drinking with meals. Cheap alcohol tastes awful and burns.

might as well be water

I'm talking about whisky in general.

>american can't handle their drink
not surprising really

I hope you have the chance to tour bourbon country and experience the many wonderful regional craft beers we have (not just west coast IPAs, either).
Try a good Kentucky bourbon or a good craft beer. They often don't export the latter, and you'll have to really hunt for the former.

Whenever I drink alcohol while playing video games I end up pausing the game and shitposting on Yea Forums for the rest of the night and never actually play anything

Actually based

Beer tastes like adult soda except without the chemical burn of citric acid and more of a bad aftertaste and sting of alcohol. You can get apple hard ciders that taste just like you'd imagine apple soda would taste like.

Ah thats not so bad. You can build up a tolerance over time. I can manage a fifth in one night when before I could barely handle more than a few shots.

Drink it until you've Stockholm'd your senses into enjoying it. Or go make mixed drinks like a proper cowboy.

It’s actually the other way around. Most people drink alcohol and the ones who are adamantly against it are the straight edge fedora tippers who feel the need to interject their dumbass opinion on how bad alcohol is

>blended

Sparkling water or coffee

I dunno. I’m an American but living in japan has tempered my liver from the 3x weekly mandatory drinking parties. I would bet a year of my salary I could drink you under the table.

And let me say something you probably hear a lot:

>implying i would ever go to that shithole america

>OP posts Japanese liquor
>dumbass user somehow equates this to American
Literally rent free

Actually, it's the opposite. Despite never being a heavy drinker I've always been able to hold it pretty well. The very first time I drank I went shot for shot with my friend who is a regular drinker and I got pretty fucked up but never puked. It's just this time I did a total of like 12 (that I remember, I don't know if I had anymore) shots in a pretty short period of time. I was playing video games online with a couple of my buddies and we were all taking shots whenever we lost/died, which obviously was a compounding effect of getting more and more drunk and dying more often.

I'm not entirely sure if that is a good thing, user.

You give them too much credit. I will say there is some truth to the American beer = piss, but it's outdated in the same way that Brit food = boiled shit is true. Outdated, but does apply to some degree to the poorer and less educated, but even then mostly in a historical context. Severe alcoholics in the American midwest go for cheap plastic jugs of vodka or absolute bottom shelf whiskey, or those massive packs of cheap pisswater beer because then they can drink literally all day.

It's a shame really - Schlitz, Busch, Budweiser - you can tell by the names that European immigrants started those companies. My father was born in the late 40s and remembered when some of those beers were actually decent, and he saw the decline.

It depends on what it's made from.
Beer is basically a mash of malted barley that's been cooked and had water and yeast added to it so it basically tastes like a very potent raw cereal as a drink.
Whisk(e)y is when you take a beer and distill it to where you get more of the sugars from the grain to where a corn whisky would of course taste like corn, rye would have more spiciness and red fruits and barley would have more estery lemon and grassy notes.
Personally if you're trying to get into alcohol I'd try a sweet liqeur like limoncello or irish cream to see if you can get used to the flavor, then try beer and wine and eventually harder spirits.
See above. Also I had a nail polish thing when I tried Canadian Club so you're definitely not alone. If you're okay with beer I'd say Jameson is a good starter as it's basically just ginger, apple, lemon and grain and is pretty inoffensive. From there try some basic scotches like Auchentoshan and Glendronach and then get into sweeter styles of bourbon like Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek before getting into the more rye and wheat heavy ones like Four Roses, Michter's and Old Weller.
Also don't listen to as Islay scotch can be VERY love or hate as it uses peated malt which is nice if you like phenols in your whisky but shit if you don't. If you get to the point where you want to try a peated scotch I'd recommend starting with a lighter peat like Highland Park 12 or Jura 12.

>Japanese distilleries design their blends to build a perfect harmony
That's literally what every fucking blender puts into their advertising in every country.
>unlike the scottish who just put together their third-grade malts
Pro-tip: Most "Japanese" blends source scotch whiskies to use because they don't have enough aged Japanese whisky stocks to use. Most Nikka blends use Ben Nevis as they own the distillery. Suntory uses Auchentoshan, Ardmore, Bowmore and Laphroaig in their Japanese blends because the laws designating what can be called Japanese whisky are non-existent. Heck even distilleries label aged soju and rice spirit as whisky now because of the garbage laws. Unless you're getting single malt straight from a reputable distillery in Japan you're likely getting absolute trash or a scotch blended with a teaspoon of actual Japanese whisky.

Yes, dude, I live in Japan as well and I do know what a nomihoudai is. So yes, I still think being tempered by whisky high is ridiculous. Even my university mates can drink that much.

Sad, isn't it? Worse than soda. I compensate by only drinking one or two on rare occasions in the summer. I also make them very strong, but that comes with its own problems.

I am annoyed that despite living relatively close the to the Caribbean that it can be very expensive or difficult to find good rums. Used to be the top alcohol consumed in the US, along with cider.

I mostly stick to Czech shit nowadays, Budweiser and Pilsner Urquell. It´s available everywhere, affordable and tastes good.

Craft beer is like every other liquor, only 1% of the stuff made is actually worth buying.
Personally I only buy local stuff but even then local stuff is a roulette for finding a gem, such as Evil Twin for example.

Yeah Glendronach is a favorite of mine too! Some guys I know tried a 30+ year single cask of Glendronach a while ago but it's basically impossible to buy now because the markup has gotten so insanely high to where 11 year old Glendronachs are going for almost $150 at MSRP and it's just not worth it anymore. At this point Benriach (and maybe Glenglassaugh eventually) will have better valued single casks but for now I'm just sticking with any European IBs because the quality hasn't tanked below the price just yet.

Whisky tastes good user. Just don't be a bitch about the alcohol and actually try to taste it.

Vodka.

Unlike other hard alcohols, you can tell the goodness of a vodka without ever tasting it. It's literally dependant upon the times that it is filtered. If it's 4, it's "fine". If it's 7, you know it's good.

Unlike whiskey, bourbon, tequila, brandy and wine, where the prices and quality are all over the place, you can look at a shelf of vodka and be confident on the quality immediately, and not overspend. Some fuckers try to prey on retards and make a cool looking bottle of vodka and price it at 50 bucks, but then you look at the number of times it's been filtered and laugh.

It's quality drink for a tiny price. Never spend more than 25 dollars for a 1.75 liter bottle.

Not only that, but you can mix it with ANYTHING. When you get other drinks, you have to make specific cocktails to match them. Not so with vodka. It's anything your heart desires. Vodka is the greatest of all alcohols.

>if we just act like we're proud of it, people will think it's a good thing!

All vodka tastes the same. Its not bad, its just that it doesnt matter if its cheap or expensive brand.

Either water, coffee or beer. I only drink whisky when watching a movie, shit hits me too hard and I lose my ability to play properly and that frustrates me.

If I wasn't poor as fuck I'd be drinking all the time. Shits too expensive as an addiction, All I can afford is cider and on good days vodka. But for the life of me I can't understand how people can like beer, shit is awful. Maybe I've only had bad brands.

Drinking is free if you just learn how to do it. The finns have mastered a magical art to create liquor just using sugar by making "kilju". I havent tried it myself. It appearently tastes awful but its not dangerous and you can mix it.

>wasting your money on drinking
>drinking in general
Fucking normalfag cancer

I always said the same until I had some friends over from the East. They showed me how wrong I was. Same for tequilla. We always drink it as a shot that kills you, but a good brand vodka or tequilla is actually fucking great.

Sounds like a myth.

Well if we use something like pic related as an example the answer basically comes down to the fact that liquor companies make much more money selling shit to the masses in nice packaging then they do quality juice to the enthusiasts who only buy certain bottles. Last year the best selling whisky brands were all blended scotches: JW, J&B, Dewar's, Monkey Shoulder, Grant's, etc. so of course the reason they sell if because of low price and a fancy bottle when the product is absolute shite.
Same goes for a recent Irish whiskey called Proper 12, the stuff costs more then Bushmills and tastes shittier then Bushmills and is literally sourced from Bushmills but yet it sold well because Connor McGregor is the face of the brand.
So basically when it comes to selling whisky, marketing is worth a lot more to most companies then product quality however occasionally we'll get a decent one from a big producer but it'll likely be overpriced and will always go down in quality after a few releases (Diageo Special Releases, Aberlour A'bunadh, Laphroaig Cairdeas). So basically it's why I tell people to buy independent bottlings of any type of whisky, especially scotch, from good companies like Cadenhead's, Adelphi, Gordon and Macphail, etc. instead of wasting time on the majority of distillery bottlings.

Regular normie beer like Heineken or Carlsberg is fucking piss. Craft Ale/ Craft beer is where it's at bro. Find a small local brewery with a real drive and passion, often that stuff is magical.

Still, I will admit beer/ ale/ and stuff of that nature is not for everyone. In much the same way I cannot stand Cider. It tastes like shit to me.

Get sparkling water and frozen cherries and throw them together in a bottle. Same shit, half the price.

Also a decent homebrew scene around here, just started fermenting my second batch, first turned out surprisingly well!

If you drink shitty vodka, you get a shitty hangover. There are entire brands I avoid because I'll get a hangover before I'll even get drunk.

I can't really do anything remotely cerebral while drinking. My brain turns to mush pretty quickly and if I try to play games I get sleepy.
Right now I'm drinking Irish whiskey with soda. I'm trying to lose weight, so I need to get off beer, and I'm trying to get a taste for spirits since they have non calories.

I hate how hipster IPA's are. I've looked for years for the type of beer that I loved, and a lot were great, but nothing that I truly loved. Until I tried an IPA in Belgium some 5 years ago. Shit was fucking good. Immediately tried to find them back home, but realised very quickly it was an extremely overhyped hipster type of beer, with dozens of different bottles with retarded names and all kinds of fancy packaging. They're retardly expensive, too. I might be a true hipster, but I'm not going to avoid the taste I love because some retards do too.

Coffee didn't give me stomach aches. Studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of several serious diseases.

Granted, the mass media flip flops on what food is healthy every month, but the antioxidants are there especially if you brew in a way where the oils are still there (so no paper filters). Light roasts have more flavor, too.

Alcoholism is not a personality.

Well, actually, that's not completely true: as soon as people learn you're an alcoholic, they will place you in the "avoid this person" bin.

I feel you user. IPAs are great.

Yeah, I don't know exactly what the alcohol tax is, because I think it varies, but for example tonight I bought a 700ml bottle of Dubliner Whiskey, 22 standard drinks, and it cost me $51 Australian.
And that's one of the cheapest items on the whiskey shelf. A case of semi-decent craft beer would set me back about $50-$60, and a really nice whiskey might be $70-$100.

I don't know that much about beer, but my dad, since retirement, is really into his homebrew and he's basically told me that the name of a beer means almost nothing, because they can slap "IPA" onto almost anything really.
Also, BentSpoke is an Australian brewery. In Canberra, the capital city, actually.
That 4pack of beers is about $25, it's a pricier brand, but it's worth it.

it's nothing incredible, i mostly like it because it's a cut above its price-range. a lot of cheap islay whiskys are trash

a good islay whisky is a fucking revelation but they ain't cheap. the good ones i've tried were mostly at whisky parlours for £30-£50 a dram or more. that's in edinburgh though, so it's undoubtedly inflated

You've never tried Hibiki you dumb bitch. You've probably been drinking the same three basic-ass whiskys for 30 years.

I'm not an expert myself on brewing, but I have a local shop where they are experts. I think the size of the grain is very important for the brewing method. I know for french press it needs to be fairly big or 'rough' (don't know the English word), but not sure exactly how rough. Also, the time you put the coffee grind in is crucial. Again, not sure on the exact details, but I usually but my ground beans (which the shop grinds to the proper size for me) around 4:30 minutes.

$200 for a bottle you'll go through in a few days

Just why?

It requires no skill as a brewer or knowledge of what a proper beer should taste like to brew IPA. You dump a fuckton of hops and yeast in and call it a day. You know you have IPA when your beer has that genuine flavor of skunk and bong water.

To be honest, the only thing I have even slight interest in is wine.

WHISKEYBOOS OUT

IPAs taste like fucking ass, like someone grabbed a bunch of herbs and fruits and put them in a blender with soap and motor acid

Budweiser is shit and tastes like piss

Most American beers taste like piss too

Belgian beers are good though

Also rum best drink

All alcohol elitism is larping and bullshit. It's all the same. It can taste different but not actually "better". They did studies for wine reviews where they do the "fruity fragrance with an earthy aftertaste" and found that their descriptions couldn't be reproduced by different reviewers ie it's no better than random. Just faggots blowing smoke up each other's ass. Alcohol is for getting drunk or disinfecting shit, if you want something that tastes good buy a milkshake

Yup, rough grinds for press or aero, fine for machines.

Keep patting yourself on the back for buying a bottle of Jim Beam with wax on top for double the price.

Also my favourite game is either Pikmin 1/2/3 or Metroid any game in the franchise.

That’s what I intend to do eventually.
I’d still have to become a wageslave too, so might as well aim as high as I can.

>t. I have tongue

Why do IPAs always have some crazy colorful design on the can and a silly name?

jokes on you i don't even drink whiskey. i buy a bottle of beefeater like once a month and thats it.

it's the hip new thing to do so everyone jumped on the bandwagon, same with $20+ bottles of bourbon barrel aged stouts
both are probably a reaction to decades of cheap lager

Why not drink fruit juice or cocktail at that point? Not being sarcastic here. Always thought alcohol was a bit pointless

>wine reviews
Wine is bullshit, but beer actually has a wide variance of flavour because it's a highly complex product. Wine is just rotten grape juice, it has literally one ingredient.

I was shitposting until now but enjoy your ryuugakusei time as much as you can. It was the best time of my life hands down. Now I’m a wagecuck making good money but I dream about killing myself a lot because being a wagecuck is suffering, especially in Tokyo.

io9.gizmodo.com/wine-tasting-is-bullshit-heres-why-496098276

Then definitely try a decent red one, like a Carbarnet Sauvignon. Don't go for the most expensive one, you won't taste it anyway, but don't get the bottom of the barrel housebrand tier. €5-7 for me is the cheapest I go for a 0.75l bottle. Not sure if prices are comparable wherever you live, but if it's like half of that it's probably shit.

I usually try to stay sober to focus on the game. When I do drink, I prefer Coors regular.

During winter, Sam Adams Winter Lager.

If I ever do drink whiskey, I prefer Knob Creek but I have to avoid buying whole bottles and just get shot bottles to avoid getting too drunk or blowing my budget.

IPAs are shit beer for shit people. I used to be mostly into stouts, but I've started trying out different cream ales lately.

I live in San Diego so the craft beer scene is huge. Thank fuck the hipsters are over IPAs and "mead" is the next big thing.

Cocktails are great to get shitfaced on
The only thing I drink straight nowadays is rum, the rest I mix

What's a good whiskey for a semi-beginner?
I've gone through my fair share of whiskey, but I still can't drink it straight. I have to mix it with sodas or I just can't get it down.
Is there a good, smooth whiskey to start off with that I could develop a taste for and work my way up to stronger stuff?

I would agree wine tasters are full of shit, but if you can't taste the difference between whiskeys you literally have no fucking taste buds.

buffalo trace is pretty palatable on its own, its also reasonably priced.

Why does Yea Forums like whisky so much? Is it because you're all too pussy to drink beer?
>It's too heavy/gassy it hurts my tummy!

You fucking babies.

I'm in the same boat. Maker's tastes like shit. I bought a bottle of Bulleit for after work today. No sense spending a ton if it all still tastes like shit for me.

Hey, don't knock IPA because hipsters make it. They're bitter and herby. Obviously you wouldn't like them if you're into stouts. You probably dislike blond beers as well.
Not saying IPAs are not dominated by hipsters, but there's definitely good ones.

DUDE BOOZE LMAO

Is there such a thing as a non alcoholic cocktail

My liver can't handle alcohol

>not drinking both
hahah look at the faggot with his weak stomach

Then get off Yea Forums and get yourself to bed user.

There are, but it kinda misses the point when cocktails are all about getting the taste of the alcohol inside something that actually tastes good

You do you though

fuck the source who cares?
If wine tasting is bullshit then everything is bullshit. It's all fermented fruit or vegetables. Even if you can taste the difference (which most people can't after a few, I've done tests), it doesn't mean it's "better" or "worse" like if I pay a bit more I'm going to get a "better" alcohol

The only legit difference is that clear spirits like vodka give you the least hangover so it's the most efficient

Nice

I'm sure there are good ones, but the breweries here were pumping out "triple IPA QUAD IPA!" so see who could cram the most hops into a bottle.

You can just not really like whiskey and accept it, that's always an option too.

Seriously both are fucking garbage which are popular for those people who drink to show off and don't like alcohol at all. Its exact same type of people who drink coffee and put a lot of milk and at least two teaspoon sugar in it and call themselves coffee enthusiasts.

Which spirit is the best? I'm new to drinking, essentially, so I'd like to try out some different stuff. I've had a few whiskeys and rums, and I'd like to try some other spirits.

Sometimes I sip wine or beer. If I'm gonna drink I want to party generally speaking.

Is good vodka actually good? I've only had cheap vodka and it tastes like poison, I can't imagine it being redeemable but maybe it's not for me.

How can you have such utterly awful taste? Might as well just piss in a glass and drink that to save yourself some money.

Possibly the greatest cocktail in the universe. I hated gin right up until I was about 24, then all of a sudden I decided to make them as it was cheaper than beer for getting drunk during predrinks and it blew my mind. They are, to me at least, the most refreshing drink of all time.

Well, I suppose I mean what is the versatility of various spirits? I'm pretty weak, so I can't drink any spirit straight yet. But I'm interested in trying different things to mix with soda.
As I understand it, vodka is basically just alcohol, so it mixes with anything. What about gin? Is it versatile?

For me, it's Strong Zero™

Bombay, that's Bombay Sapphire?
It's relatively cheap. I might try it out.

This is more personal opinion that anything else. Vodka goes with just about anything you can think of. Gin is limited. Rum is still fine (can even go with tea if you like that), still fairly versatile. Tequila, whisky, and especially national/regional spirits are best on their own, because they tend to have a lot of special taste to them.

Rum overall (especially Mount Gay XO) is way too good to give up, but I'll try it sometimes. I can still remember the day I tried JD and JB. Both tasted like some cheap shit mixed with sugar and put some brown food color in it. You might as well drink vodka with a sugar cube and chug down food color with it. They are the equal to Diplomatico in rums to me.
Overshilled, overpriced, it tastes bad and its only put on fame by those legit never had better. You can legit feel the cheapness from it. The only way you can consume it is where its mixed with Coca Cola at worst, because Pepsi is not aggressive enough to overwhelm that shit taste.

You're really stupid. I mean, in America, there are people that kill liters in a matter of 3 hours or less, and walk around like nothing happened. I'd drink you under the table, myself.

I lived in Spain for 3 years and man was it good to drink gin there. You could get the good stuff for around 18 euros or just settle for Gordons/Beefeater for 10. I'm talking 1 litre bottles by the way

What would recommend, brand wise, in a vodka? I suppose they'd be pretty similar, but there must be level of quality to vodkas.

make sure to tell him vodka is very deceptive, gotta know his limit or it gonna fuck him up and he won't even know it

So instead of a Scotch you go for a Jap?

>What about gin?
Gin is the vodka of western Europe. It's almost exactly the same, functionally. It just has berries in it that are barely noticeable.

I have a nice Yamazaki.

What shithole do you even come from?

I unironically agree with this. When somebody tells you something is an acquired taste then they're fucking retarded. i'm sure you'd end up loving get fucked in the ass too if it made you cum real hard. Fucking queers.

A friend of mine was literally named Hibiki after this whisky, the same kanji even. Is it even any good? She says it's good but she's obviously pretty biased.

this thread is bad for me, i havent touched hard liquor for months now

Most Cocktails... Nope. However if you mix it with bitters and a citrus liquor, stir it on ice it's pretty good.

My Favorites are Brandy Cocktails. Love good Brandy. Not even that expensive if you stay away from the meme brands.

First off, listen to , because he's completely on point. Other than that, it heavily depends on your budget. If you're cheapo, Kalinka, Royal, whatever. Absolut, Belvedere, Ciroc, Grey Goose, if you're aiming higher.

It's worth noting that in my experience, it's worth to sink extra into good vodka, because otherwise it'll fuck with your head no matter how careful you try to be.

I kindof agree. I've never tasted a Canadian Whiskey I liked.

I wholely believe they are only popular because they were safe to drink during prohibition.

If you want to drink to forget I recommend cheap stuff. Good stuff you might end up savouring and that won't get you anywhere in terms of forgetting. A cheap whisky that you drink by holding your nose is much better for that stuff.

He's fucking with you or a tastelet.

It takes a good amount of time until you can reliably make out specific aromas in whisky. However, even the most tasteless person should be able to taste the difference between an Islay and a Speyside. Caramel and vanilla are some of the easiest flavors to identify in whisky. Hint: It's what decent bourbon tastes like.

Something like a Talisker, on the other hand, will taste smokey, earthy from the peat, with hints of salt.

>must add water
ishygddt , way to ruin the flavor

Google "fat British people"

That stuff is shit m8

This stuff is so fucking good. It's still a hidden gem in most stores.
