What's your favorite whiskey? This is mine so far
Bourbon user here. Only bourbon. This one is my “top shelf” brand.
I like bourbon too but this malt really wets my whistle
Really hard choice, but I guess it's Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, mostly because this is a really fine "any time" drink for almost any occasion. Really good all around bourbon that's slightly better than most all arounders
that 80 proof one
Coffee malt was good, I liked their Taketsuru better. Favourite has to be octomore for me
ads are getting smarter...
btw, this is mine
Shit taste like acetone idk why everyone likes it. Anything in Jim Beams small batch collection is better. This is sweeter and taste more fruity. Way better imho.
I just looked this up is sounds pretty good. I'll have to try that one soon
Lol nope just curious what other people like. And since this is a malt I'm gunna have to try this
Im sorry but I dont like wheated bourbons. I dont understand the obsession. Basil Hayden is way better. Hell bulleit bourbon is better.
You gotta step up your bourbon game.
Bonded in bottle bitches
Shits half a grand a bottle
How do you feel about the Knob Creek Rye? I prefer it over the normal stuff.
Honestly I feel like its a damn good bourbon but not worth the price. Theres a point of diminishing returns and I think this bottle passed it. Ill grab it for a special occasion sure but I wont pretend for a second that the taste is worth the price. Still miles ahead of makers though that shit sucks.
Maker’s use to be
I'm a Yamazaki 18 kinda guy, although the Hakushu 12 is a damn fine scotch (if I'm in the mood).
Not bad but not Bonded-In-Bottle now is it?

Bourbon>other whiskey. I've never tried a real Kentucky bourbon that I didn't like. I can't say the same for anything else.
this'll do just fine.
The hakushu has been on my list just haven't gotten around to it yet
Ill be honest I have yet to break into the world of rye. Im stuck on bourbons because I love them so much. Ill give it a try now that you mention it but it aint my field of expertise so I wont have much to compare it to. I think I would just compare it to bourbons i have had and thats not a fair comparison.
Im poor so i like Jack daniels
I agree completely and what other user had said, it's $600 a bottle. Lucky for me, they keep it stocked at the bar down the road and it's only $25 a glass.

Cheers boys
My man. I dont think I have had a bottle of bourbon I have liked more than bookers. Bakers is great but bookers is the best. Fair price and complex taste. Honestly my favorite.
any cheap bourbon.
I don't drink unless I'm getting drunk, and I'm not going to buy an expensive bottle for me and my friends to drink in one night.
I enjoy a very petey whiskey.
Lagavulin 16 yr. old, when i can afford
I should mention, I'm only 22, and a poorfag. Haven't tried much decent whiskey.
>Top shelf
>Knob Creek
I think I'll get shit on for this, but I fucking love Evan Williams. Even though it's cheap and bottom-shelf, it goes down smooth as hell. I rank it above many top-shelf bottles.
my man
> My Man
have you tried the Ardbeg Grooves? Shit's amazing
Then this thread is not for you
Scotch, Bourbon, and whatever that Japanese shit is. Not a single actual Whiskey in a favorite whiskey thread...
This is the finest scotch ITT.
never got a a bottle but tried it at a bar. Liked it, but prefer the uigedail or however the fuck you spell that
it was only limnited edition, i should have snagged a handle...
That’s a Scotch tho
No hate man I'll be honest I drank Jim bean on ice and it was pretty fucking good when I let it sit for a little
Mind defining actual Whiskey then?
mmmmm
A glass of laphroaig 30 minutes before eating a steak is money.
Scotch, Bourbon, and "that Japanese shit" are all whiskys you fucking idiot
Shit brings the heat
Woodford Reserve. Perfect flavor, perfect balance, perfect finish.
It aint top self and I am a different user and that guy doesnt know what the fuck he is talking about he put a flavored whisky on his list. But KNob is a damn good bourbon for the price. My local store literally keeps this shit on the lowest shelf. But its good shit man.
try the quarter cask
laphroaig 30, minutes before a stake
> my man
Never tried Japanese Scotch because, well, it's Japanese Scotch. I always understood that Scotch can only be made in Scotland.
Yes it is.
It’s okay
Haven’t tried the coffee grain, but original nikka is definitely one of my favorites
Pic related is the fucking GOAT bourbon
I'm no aficionado. I just like how the rye tastes, compared to other whiskies.
You know what, I will.
Bullshit, this asked about a favorite whiskey. Not, "What whiskey do you spend a bunch of money on to make you feel better because you've got 'class'?"
No one cares that you spend a bunch of money to drink alone, faggot.
i actually prefer buffalo trace in that ball game
Heroin. Jam it in your fucking eyeballs
vodkas and rums could have their own little breakdown too.
Man I had this and it was not good at all. Only paid >$30 and still felt ripped off
Laphroiag 10 is a decent cooking whiskey
I'd sell my mother for a bottle of this again. Smooth a silk. One glass is not ever enough.
it's pretty uncanny how similar Japanese whisky tastes to scotch.
I absolutely loved it. harder to find tho
well yes, but this is to illustrate the point to the abovementioned mongs
>it's pretty uncanny how similar Japanese whisky tastes to scotch.
Probably because the Nikka founder married a scottish woman and came to scotland to learn the craft
I separate scotch from bourbon tho
way overpriced. also blended. you can get a better single malt for half the price
but yeah it tastes good
for the price
I care. It’s my booze, and I’d like it to be good.
Op here. Don't try the grain its shit. Go with the malt
Ummmm...coors light....
see:
Jim Beam is pretty damn great for the price. Their subsidiary distilleries, including Bookers and Bakers, are even better. Any bourbon is hard to be dissapointed by, honestly.
Not a real whiskey tho
Thats fair. But I havent got buffalo trace since I had eagle rare. Very similar notes but more complexity than buffalo trace. I honestly dont know why anyone would get it when eagle rare is just a few bucks more. If you like buffalo you will love eagle rare.
examples user? would be very appreciated.
never had it! thanks for the recommendation, i'll try to pick one up next time im at costco
Great starter scotch for new people who havent had it before. Not too much going on but enough and for that price its a good deal.
Good to know, original nikka is easily one of my favorites, so I’ll keep it that way. Hibiki is also good, and suntory if I’m on a budget
I drink alone. That said, nothing but my best bitch negro
Suntori never again..
easily the best basic blend out there, along with Old Parr if you can find it.
If you want some great bang for buck
>eagle rare
Good taste
Monica
You didn't even name a whiskey you like and said which ever one is cheap and gets you fucked up. This thread is about a particular whiskey you like. Not about price or "class". Some people actually enjoy a good tasting whiskey.
check out scotchgit.bitbucket.io
Buffalo Trace never gets recognized because of its low price. Even though I know it's a a damn fine bourbon, the low price still irritates me. High end audio is the same - even though the component sounds good, you're biased because of the price. Humans...
Fuck yeah, Eagle Rare. That shit's dangerous. It's too smooth.
100% this
My usual go to. Cheap, but does the trick and I enjoy it.
good man
I’m looking for more buck for my band
[Maker’s Mark Intensifies]
fair
Yeah, once I’m down to a ~$30 budget on a bottle, I’ll end up with JW black usually. It’s reliable, but not amazing
you're all plebs
nothing wrong here
Thanks Anons. At that price its a mighty good whisky. I was wondering what does everyone think of Henry Mckenna?
Oh good, licorice. Just like I get at the moving pictures.
That's literally not whiskey, but congrats?
How’s it compare to Even Williams White label thou?
Asking for a friend
inb4 pappy van winckle
Kys and take your japs and bourbon with you
People who know bourbon respect buffalo trace. The distillery does good consistent work on all their brands and it’s a damn sight better than bulleit
Y'all are welcome to a glass if you're ever my way.
If you recognize this, you're a real OG.
Never tried Evan Williams. Sorry.
i use that in my lawnmower
Had some 12 year last week, it was ok. But of spice I didn’t expect but reasonably smooth.Still prefer orphan barrel.
pappy is way over rated ive heard
never tried it tho...
If I ever am, I’ll gladly take you up on it.
Similar to the gentleman?
You are in for a treat. Thank me later
similar to kerosene
You tryin to talk shit about gasoline?
Yes please:)
Damn right but I still maintain Eagle Rare is a better bourbon. Thoughts?
I hear the 20 year is excellent. The 12 I had was ok. I wouldn’t go hunting for some, that’s for sure.
So a lot like Kentucky gentleman then
Faggot serial killer detected
for the price i feel i could get a better bang
> Be me 4 years ago, just getting into whiskey
> Visiting friends in America, never tried bourbon before
> Get offered knob creek
> Mfw he diltues it with 3 parts water
Tried it pure some time later, I understand now, shit's bad
How does the white label EW compare to the regular label?
The ten year Mckenna of course not that other shit.
Nope
I prefer the coffee grain over the malt, my favorite is angels envy though
Ooh, I love Willet. I'm jealous.
I definitely agree. Eagle rare tastes a bit young for a 10 year, but buffalo trace is on par with 4 roses small batch to me. It’s definitely not well, but it’s far from top shelf.
Eagle rare does have a bite on the end, but is overall far smoother than buffalo trace. Blantons is good, but nothing amazing.
You aint wrong for that price you could get many bottles that are better. imho both bookers and bakers are better.
Foreal? Man youre nuts the malt is way better in my opinion
It’s much more intense, favorable and brings the heat. Not for the beginners
i guess i need to try bookers then
How was it bad? Its a little strong but the brown sugar and fruity taste is amazing? What didnt you like about it? And diluting it with that much water is a sin
You'll get no argument from me. I'm more into Scotch, but Elijah Craig and Russell's Reserve are my go tos.
I usually drink Old Grand Dad 114, but this has been my go-to lately.
E.H Taylor single barrel would be cheaper, and still have a similar profile.
Willets is also very good.
Eh, why not?
no
Bottled-In-Bond is a federal government requirement. Got to be in the cask for no less than four years and must proof at 100. Shit is cash, stay bonded my frends
Seconded
...
Ewww
>I just don’t give a fuck any more
Very cheap whiskey. As expensive whiskey tastes too bitter
Might as well be Zachariah Harris
You need a drink is all
Haven’t tried russels yet, my local bottle shop has it, but I tend to keep going to my old standards
Is it anything like Jefferson’s?
White label that bitch, thank me later alligator
Exactly. That bottle screams “aged for 3 days in a plastic gas can”
awww ... you’ll be a man someday
Queer
I don’t give a shit. Still not drinking that piss
Hes right drinking shit whisky doesnt make you a man. Spend ten dollars more and get a nice whisky you fucking troglodytes.
I’d sit at a table with you, gulping this down not giving three fucks
I kek'd
Found one when I went to Japan that beats Hakushu
>When you get to be an adult.
It’s okay. I went through what you’re going through.
Remember this in 30 years.
It's not a whiskey thread until to talk about ballantines
Never had it but looking good
Youre so cool you drink piss and have white hair. Everyone this guy is so cool he drinks piss.
I mean, I really don’t care if we rub dicks. Just going to put my hand between our balls. No homo after all
It’s funny when the dab wears off
Russls is good. Like a way smoother, more oaky Wild Turkey. Same distiller.
Ill take your word for it.
Wild Turkey sucks nigger balls
Hey, it ain't gay unless the balls touch.
Whiskey (with an "e") is not made in Scotland
"Scotch" is "whisky" (without an "e") and it is made in Scotland
My favorite whisky is Laphroaig QC (quarter cask) Islay single malt ABV 48%, but I also like Lagavulin 16 a lot but I only buy about one bottle per year compared to more like 40 bottles of Laphroaig per year.
Favourite whiskey (with an e):
is Jim Beam Rye (Prohibition Style). Sometimes drink it neat, but mostly use it when making Manhattan cocktails.
You goddamn right you’ll take my word you nigger faggot
My kinda Scotch. Favorite one of all time, and I’ve had 28 year single grain
>120.3 horsepower
Jesus I don't think I'd ever drink anything over 90, it's just not enjoyable at that point to me
Faggot nigger whore detected
I hope you live in fucking poverty, because that's the only reason why any rational human being would drink that horse piss.
Maybe you need your faggy ass tucked in?
You. You, I like.
Come in Monica
Never had a cask strength whisky? Youre missing out
Whistlepig is overrated. They cranked up the price on purpose so no one could make a buck on the secondary market. Should be way cheaper than it is.

Nigga watt
Have you tried it? That’s what I thought
I'm no connoisseur, but my girlfriend and I toured the Wigle Whiskey distillery in Pittsburgh last December and loved their Wheat Whiskey. Fantastic.
He just explained the difference between “whiskey” and “whisky” and stated a preference of his
How did you get lost in that very simple process
Treat yourself to a bottle of Gentleman Jack one day. You’ll taste the difference. Evan Williams is one whiskey I can’t do. Jim Beam is pretty much back of the bottom shelf as well.
You silly ass nigga’s get back to me when you reach my experience levels. Bunch of new fagorts
Tried what? 100 proof? Half the whisky I drink is that strength its common man. I am just saying dont be scared to try cask strength whisky.
>when you get to be an adult
That generally means I have more disposable income and a desire to experience the finer things in life. Bottled last week sour mash is not on that list.
> "... Nigga watt " ;
English motherfucker:
DO YOU SPEAK IT?
Scotch whiskey is different from Bourbon whiskey you cum guzzeling fag fuck nigger
This is my back of the bottom shelf blended. It’s ok when I’m mixing on the cheap. Not a good sipping spirit, though.
Tyrone’s drunk again
Not mad at you
Idk ... your mother screamed “Jesus” as I fucked her asshole nigger
Kiss his dick or gtfo
Just gtfo
Yes. Yes it is. Very good, way to catch up. The part you seemed to have missed is the distinct spelling between the two, which lets you know what style of whiskey the bottle originated from.
You seem to think I don’t know that. What kind of stupid retard are you?
My fucking guy
So much low bait itt, I bet it's all one sad guy that can only afford Jack
It tastes good and is inexpensive
I drink this shit like its going out of style, but evan William's 100 proof is a close second.
You’re clearly confused and being redundant. Good talk.
Booker's is god tier
Are you autistic?
On special occasions I cycle through others. This is what I've got at the moment.
Scotch = whisky from Scotland
Its hated on but it isnt a bad whisky for the price. It makes a good old fashion because of the strong orange taste it already has.
Youre goddamn right it is
You’ll understand. Eventually
Nooo shit
itt: Young guy’s that have little experience in the manly bourbon arts.
See you niggers next time. Faggots
>still thinks alcohol makes you cool
You seem like an angry homosexual.
I like it.

Evan Williams is amazing for its price and even good value at twice the price. Gentleman Jack is never a good value.

Honestly people are gonna hate me but if you never had scotch monkey shoulder is hard to beat. I think its the best for new comers. Its easy to overwhelm new people with scotch and monkey shoulder will be nice and kind to you.

It’s a half decent Islay scotch for noobs
Been drinking scotch 40 yrs. This tastes like an antibacterial ointment on a Bandaid to me. Folks love it, I just never learned.

I like the double wood, but good shit.
What did the lawnmower ever do to you???
I’ve been drinking scotch for 92 years and I know that John Walker makes the best
This
Tits or GTFO, bitch
Oh Lord, no. Try a mild single malt, like Glenlivit or Glenfiddich. AT least 12 yrs old. Start there, but don't stop there. Over rocks to start with. If you'll let it go down side of tongue instead over, it will burn less and you'll be able to taste it.
Og rotgut right there

try Lavagulin 16yo

Big facts. Literally was about to post this. Glenlivette founders reserve is a very close call for me too
