The only reason to talk about whisky is to discuss how shitty it is.

>>8425132
A Port Charlotte, single cask, only about 6 years old so still very feisty - just a little 5cl sample.
It was nice, 56% abv so needed water but a nice way to bring in the bells.

Recently 21, going to try my first whiskey this week. Got a fifth of Buffalo Trace

I had my first drink last night, it was whiskey and it was like eating the devil's asshole. are there kinds that aren't so shit

Evan Williams Green Label. Incredible flavor.

>>8425845
No

Honestly, I loved the IDEA of whisky since my early 20s and I TRIED to like it. Tried giving it time, figured it was an 'aquired taste', but nothing. I could not truly appreciate it 'til my mid 20s, after having not drunk it for years. Taste buds need to mature I think. Now, see this I how I know everyone ITT is below 24.

You're kind of a fag, huh?

Talisker 10, got it after asking if it was worth it in another thread.
It was worth it.

Lagavulin 8
Which turned out to be a better whisky than Lag 16
I hope they keep this one around for a while

Taiwan knows what it's doing.

>>8426039
What can i expect from lagavulin in comparison to something like talisker? Ive never tried any of their whiskies

>>8426161

>>8425132

I bet youre just a manchild with no palate, please leave and go join your kind in a mcchicken thread

>>8425669
Could have done a lot worse, old son. That's a decent bourbon.

bought makers mark and evan williams to try off as my first whisky's. I gotta say I prefer the makers mark more than the EW. I find it much smoother and the EW.

any recommendations?

>>8425132
Did you paint this? It's nice.

essential beginner bourbons:
>buffalo trace
>bulleit
>wild turkey 101 (81 is garbage)
>woodford reserve

who /birddog/ here?

>>8427314
>four roses small batch/single barrel

Don't forget these

>>8427314
If you're talking Bulleit rye, then sure. But their straight bourbon is awful.

BUFFALO TRACE VIRAL MARKETING IN THIS THREAD
STAY ON YOUR TOES

>>8428016
Vice versa, lad. Their bourbon is decent, but nothing special. Their rye is literally just a mass-distilled blending component from an outsourced distillery facility in Indiana, bottled as a separate product.

>>8428592
>people recommend a good bourbon in the appropriate thread
VIRAL ALERT

Which first bottle of whiskey should I buy? Here is what I have to choose form:

>Jameson
>Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon
>Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky
>Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
>The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
>Maker's 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whisky
>Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 years old
>Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey (out of stock right now though)

>>8428769
Jameson is a good entry level whiskey

>>8428769
>>8428793
Yeah, the Jameson or the Woodford

>>8428769
is
>buffalo trace is out of stock
a meme?

>>8428769
If you want to try scotch the glenfiddich 12 is a good start, it was mine. And while its not so distinct as the wider world of scotch its still fruity and more forgiving than others, its a good base point to set off from.

>>8428016
Neither are really that good, they do have cool bottles though at least

>>8428769
Woodford or the Glenfiddich IMO

>>8427213
Thanks. Trying to learn watercolor.

>>8430687
You did a good job anon, Id be happy for it to be the face of many /whisky/ threads to come

>>8428769

Maker's Mark seems like a pretty good starting place for bourbon, even though the company is owned by a bunch of Japs now.

Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek should follow soon thereafter.

I can't tell you about scotch though, it has never been my thing

>>8430687

It looks good. Bring more content to /ck/ and help us de-crapify this place one painting at a time

>>8430687
That's OC?
It's nice. Thanks for making the effort.

>>8430687
Thanks anon, You have inspired me to get more creative. Painting/drawing the bottles i drink seems like a great time investment.

>>8427314
knob creek is a good beginner bourbon.

I'm getting clean this year.

Try Jameson first. If you can't stomach that then you will hate the rest.

I like the Glenlivet 12 better than the Glenfiddich 12.
