The whiskey thread

almost forgot: no "thank you"s pls

"No thank you", I'd prefer a potato.

Too strong. In small amounts and mixed with apple juice, I can handle it, but in that case it doesn't really matter which one. It's the apple juice that matters.
Thanks for gibses.

Up.

I haven't heard of anyone mixing whiskey and coke. Not that it sounds bad, but I normally reserve that for low-mid rums. I like a good whiskey ginger or sour. Haven't had any that was great on the rocks yet.

Pastor whiskey

I tend to prefer Irish whiskey over scotch or bourbon, because scotch and bourbon I find have a large disparity when it comes to prices for taste, at least over here

Sergeant Whiskeyjack is the only whiskey in my heart.

i only tried the quarter cask of laphroig till now - it was great
the 14yr is still on my wishlist

I've probably tried about 30 different whiskeys over the years, from cheap shit, to high-end stuff that predates personal computers*. I can tell there's a difference, but I just don't like them.

Cooking with whiskey, on the other hand....

*a wealthy friend once busted out a dozen of his finest whiskeys to try to convince me. It didn't work.

best whiskey I've ever drinked was Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack. it is good pure or with anything you wanna mix.
since then, I only drink double mellowed whiskeys. Gentleman Jack still the best though.

Not really a scotch man at all. But bourbon is my drink. Makers Mark, Knob Creek, And Bulliet are 3 of my favorites.

Oh Laphroaig, how I love thee. But I've only tried the normal one, which is 12 years I believe. I*ve tried normal none peaty Whiskey's that are 21 years old (Grants), which is quite strong, but I've never tried an Islay Whiskey that is that old. Would be interesting, although I doubt 2 years makes a huge difference.

Bushmills single malt was my drink of choice for a long time. I still miss it some days, but i am a better person without the booze, I have been sober for 28 months now.

cut and paste from a prior convo with McLoo...

I got my hands on two bottles of Crown Royal Winter Harvest. I cracked one open yesterday for a birthday sip. So good....

oh my love woodford reserve

I hate all alcohol when I'm sober. When I'm drunk I don't like it or hate it.

Japanese variations are great! so no vote in the pool of piss :D

Not a big fan of whiskey, but it's my father favourite. I've gifted to him a Johnny Walker Platinum Label 18yo for his birthday, and it's pretty good imo

I just said scotch No Islays, since I have no idea what either is. I've had a "shot" of scotch (in one of those classic liquor glasses) before and, well, it's not that bad. Yeah, the scotch I had was kind-of strong for what it was, but eh. Besides, I've had some Kraken rum before and that shit tastes BAD and burns quite a bit. Kind of want to try fireball whiskey, though. As far as my experience with alcohol goes, my majority of alcohol drank has been beer and vodka.

Potatowish

Glenfarclas 12 and 105

Glenfiddich and Laphroaig are both very nice. And Islays are some of my favorites :)
It's always fun seeing the reaction of the people I try to introduce Islays to xD
