I'm trying to get into whisky. What's a good starting point to determine where my palate lies? I've been eyeing pic related but I'm also interested in some of your suggestions and impressions.

>>8571444
Start cheap and work upwards, no shame in that. Too many people think they need to start with $100+ bottles

>>8571444

It's all hit and miss. Your best option is to go to a good whiskey bar and try a little of everything. It's not cheap, but it is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying bottles you might not like. Just don't assume you like anything you drink after your third drink. Everything is delicious after your third drink. But with enough time, you will find many kinds you like at a fraction of the price you pay buying each individual bottle. Plus you actually get to leave your house and drink with other people, which is something most of these faggots don't ever do.

>>8571513

They cost more than they are worth. If you're well off, you can get into them for the novelty, but generally they are about as good as shit that cost 3/4 as much from anywhere else. Weebs will justify any price for anything Japanese even if they are poor as fuck.

Why? I have no issue with homosexuals. I just hate faggots. It's one thing to be attracted to the same gender and be as normal of a person as you can be in that situation. It's a completely different thing to have your entire identity revolve around the fact you're homosexual. All faggots are homosexual, but not all homosexuals are faggots. Anyone who has blind hate for everyon attracted the same sex really just hates themselves for their own attraction to the same sex.

That is the best whisky I have ever tasted, and I have tried quite a few. rare to find that quality at a reasonable price and easily available. best day ever was 2 weeks ago, pic related

Just left an escorts place. Paid for 1 hour. Stayed for 3 1/2 hours. Feels good to be a fit tall white guy with blue eyes and a slightly bigger than average dick. Figured only the alcoholics could appreciate this and wanted to make the premium scotch drinkers mad.

I just can't get over the iodine nose on Ardbeg and Islay malts in general, really spoils the experience for me, that scent triggers some bad memories

I mostly prefer Speysides, specifically Macallan and Aberlour. Is that full plebian?

>>8572436
Macallan is lovely, the 18yo is godly. Good malt can be found everywhere in Scotland, and tis alright to have preferences.

Islay Mist Deluxe is a nice medium peaty smoky whisky. Very cheap and tastes like a mini Ardbeg or Laphroaig. Exceedingly smooth drink which punches way above its price.

>>8571190
Lol this guy doesn't like drinking scorched earth. What a fag.

I'm a big fan of ardbeg. They've got to be my favorite islay distillery. Laphroaig is nice enough but I find it very peaty indeed, even for an islay.

Japanese whiskeys tend to be fine quality, very tasty, but moderately expensive for their quality. I tend to compare them favorably to high end Johnny Walker, in the sense that it's a fine if somewhat inoffensive whiskey for a high price point.
Only, expensive Johnny Walker is still crappy even if it's super expensive

Just some poppy tossers drink that doesn't mean it's great whisky. Peaty, smokey and earthy stuff like Laphroaig, Ardbeg and the likes are literally the epitome of everyday purchasable whiskys.

>>8573896
sounds like you never tried it

how about you visit their little shit hole and learn something about whisky.

banter aside... it is very good and a lovely distilery worth every penny

>>8571166
I bought a bottle of Ardbeg 10 as my first scotch and while I don't dislike it it's very intense. Perhaps too intense for someone like me who usually drinks bourbon. I want to like it, but it's just so complex and different from what I'm used to. I'll definitely finish the bottle though. Can't let a good whisky go to waste.

>>8574384
My problem was that I grew out of bourbon very quickly, now I even have some more expensive bourbons left when even cheap blended, smokey scotch will do the trick for me now.

It's $65 retail, and I got mine for $50 on sale.

That's the beauty of it being so young (in addition to the very youthful, pungent peat, and the lesser emphasis on cask influence).

Lagavulin 8 is fucking delicious and it's incredible for the price.

I'm turning of age to drink soon.

What bottles to stock? What drinks to try first? I haven't really had alcohol before, but the few times I have I liked it enough.

>>8571444
It's generally not recommended to start with an Islay, as the strong flavors can be difficult and can turn off a new whisky drinker. Auchentoshen is an unpeated whisky, so it's an easy, uncomplicated drink. Get your feet wet on that and work your way through the popular low to mid range whiskies like Glenfiddich, Macallans.

>>8577302
Start with beer m8, its gonna be a rough ride otherwise, trust me

>>8577302
You're gonna want to taste around a lot with that virgin palette of yours so you can find out what you like. If you really want some kind of home bar I'd suggest getting a kentucky bourbon, vodka, a white tequila, a mild gin, and a jamaican rum all in the mid price range - i.e. less than $30/bottle but well over ~$10 gutrot. With some bar staples like sweet and dry vermouth, simple syrup, angostura bitters, club soda, tonic water, and some limes you can make a ton of different classic cocktails.

>>8575144
Eldradour is great

"Edradour distillery is a Highland single malt whisky distillery based in Pitlochry, Perthshire. Its owners claim it to be the smallest distillery in Scotland, but this title now belongs to Strathearn Distillery, also in Perthshire."

Worth a visit if you can make it to Perthshire
