What's the best Whiskey? I know this isn't whiskey

It's all left up to personal taste, OP. I prefer a nice bourbon myself. And J&B Rare is Whisky. It's a scotch whisky.

Gentleman Jack

Blue Label is pretty decent.

I've wanted to try chivas regal but there are too many types to choose from. Also I heard Wild Turkey is good but that isn't available in my country

Makers Mark

>>734617518
A list of good common bourbons you can find are Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Jim Beam Black Label, Larceny, or the WL Weller line.

Pappy Van Winkle

>>734617624
Chivas is alright. If you're interested in Scotch, what you want to look for is single malt scotches. Try looking for something like Glenmorangie or Glenlivet.

It's crap. Fumes knock you out before you even taste it. If you like bourbons try Buffalo Trace or Gentleman Jack, if you like Scotch, any single malt basically, avoid blended. You know it's a good whiskey if 1. The fumes don't knock you out, 2. You only need ice.

Crown Royal, Canadian Whiskey

Laphroaig or Talisker

Jack Daniels

That's my Dad's drink of choice.

>>734617897
Being a /F/ag aside, Jack Daniels and Gentleman Jack are actually good whiskeys, Silver Select is shite though

>>734617412
I enjoy that stuff quite well, OP.

I've been told it's better with ice, but...I drink it straight.

>>734618147
Dude, you got good taste, but Jim Beam??? Fuck, that's trash! Doesn't matter what coloured label.

It's good to see Van Winkles get a few mentions, is it common where you guys are? Can't get it in Australia, I've only tasted it from a friend who bought it back from the USA

Jameson

>>734618155
And then he gets mad.

My favourite scotch is Laphroiag, can't just beat that taste.

Also, anyone who puts ice in their whisky/whiskey of choice is a moron with no taste buds.

>>734619318
OP here, when I put ice in J&B I find the smell gets stronger, is that normal?

>>734617412
J and B is literally whiskey. Lol wtf?

Whiskey is the type of liquor.

Scotch is whiskey made in scotland

Whiskey is made from either barley or rye.

Bourbon is made with 51% corn mash and then either rye or barley.

Does Whiskey and Bourbon have that much different of tastes?

Also another cool fact about whiskey is that shit is CLEAR... it gets its brown color from sitting in barrels sucking up the natural sugars in the wood.

Jack Daniels literally torches the inside of the barrels before putting their whiskey inside of it. They also use a charcoal filter afterwoods.

Many scotch companies will then buy the used jack daniel barrels and use those older ones for their scotch. Hence the lighter color and taste of most scotches.

Yes. Bourbon is generally "sweeter". If you want a decent bottle that isnt gonna cost you too much Jameson Irish Whiskey is pretty legit.

If you can find it, try WL Weller. Best bourbon for the money. Period.

Yellow Spot, Quiet Man, Writers Tears, Jameson cooper's Croze, Tullamore Dew...
