'Good whiskey' is only an excuse for rich people to get shitfaced without them looking like peasants.

Go eat a bowl of rum raisin flavored ice cream, lick on a young wet tree branch, eat a sour apple and smoke a cig and afterwards down a fifth of cheap vodka.

Wa la.

You have now recreated the feel of expensive whisky while saving a lot of money.

Yeah, I find that a lot. Dumb people with no taste trying to push things on you for no reason because they want to show off that they like things. Whiskey people are insufferable. At least beer people don't push things that taste objectively bad and then say "you have to develop a taste for it"

Most people who 'drink whiskey' know fuck all about whiskey and think their £25 supermarket bourbon is quality because it costs more than Jack Daniels and has a faded effect label. These people are the same kind of morons who tell people who don't like whiskey that they need to try 'good whiskey': firstly the 'good whiskey' they recommend is usually shit and secondly even if it wasn't, to someone who isn't accustomed to drinking whiskey it's still going to taste foul because all they'll taste is a blast of 90 proof alcohol.

There's a reason the first step to learning about whiskey is spending a year going through bottom shelf low age statement bottlings until you can properly differentiate between them. There is literally no point blowing £80 on something you can't pronounce because all you'll get out of it is a numb tongue and buyer's remorse.
>>
>>9139089
"You have to rewire your brain to enjoy poison" No thanks, the only people that enjoy liquor straight or neat coincidentally are also alcoholics. I love bourbon and coke tho.
>>
imho, the most underrated aspect of enjoying most highly alcoholic beverages is the drinking technique. if you just chuck it down like water or beer the sting of the alcohol and the bitternis is just disgusting. you need to drink slowly, mix the whisky with your saliva 1:1 at the tip of the tongue, experience the precipitating tastes, feel the texture once you allow it to proceed further into your mouth, enjoy the warmth after swallowing etc. also for me whisky is like 70% aroma and only 30% taste, so take your time to smell it.
>>
>>9139202

I bought a bottle of Laphraoig and this was my first single malt. I thought I was drinking printers ink. I had no idea. So I boight another4 bottles and burned away my phenol taste.

The most "taste developing" you get with whiskey is it becoming tolerable after your first 3 bottles or so.

But whiskey fucks surely are insufferable, I was at a party once, and except for beers, all the alcohol that was brought were bottles of Jack Daniels, which I drank with coke. Fucking retards that they are, they said I ruined it, like JD is some fancy drink that is meant to be savored.

First post, best post. Look at it like this, taking a sip of something that's 40% ethanol is never going to be physically pleasant and the art of it is all about altering the nature of suffering. I love high-phenol Islay scotch that slaps you around with it's peat-and-seaweed flavored dick. Just take a whole shot of it and let it happen, absolute best way to get drunk, to control how drunk you are and the drunks themselves always seem to be high quality upbeat "I should get my friends into multiplayer video games and be really happy at them" kind of drunks.

Best value whiskey for the buck right here, I honestly prefer it to Jack Daniels. Has a good aroma in the snifter, gets you drunk real fast, 43% ABV.

If you pay more than $20 for Whiskey you're retarded. You only taste it for like a second, but the warm foxy burn it makes in your throat is quite nice.

Is it actually a thing that you don't have as bad a hangover from whisky?
>>
>>9139089
It's just an acquired taste, that's all. Throughout your life as you eat different shit your tastes change, kids don't like bitter stuff and adults tend to grow accustomed to it enough to enjoy it.

When I first tried whisky I fell for it hard. I never liked beer or vodka, I can't stand cognac or most rum. But I liked whisky. And I really liked some brands, and as time went on and I tried others I began to not like some of my old favourites. I used to really like Jameson's for example and now I can't stand it, and I wouldn't even wash my toilet with shit like Jack Daniels which used to be my go to.

It's not about being snobby it's just about trying stuff, and maybe every 10 years or so have another crack. Maybe whisky just isn't for you anon. I'm sure there's something you like drinking for the taste though.

For me currently it is the ardbeg, I love my whisky tasting like swamp soil and campfires.

Also be aware of the crazy variances between scotland and ireland and even moreso with the american and asian varieties.

Yes you do, you slam all them flaves and just let it invade your entire face for like 6-8 seconds. Belts are amazing, fuck, you get drunk on the best possible drunk without doing casual bullshit like not playing video games. Your entire palette reeks of seaweedsmokemedicine and you do this glorius nose-exhale to savor it and just get right back into the soup. Why buy expensive liquor with amazing drunk_improving qualities and not get in the soup? That's my question. Why I would pay over 50 bucks a bottle of something to basically get high as fuck and sit in a rocking chair with a glass half full of ice like some old man while I'm tilted?

Hell I know it will make you spit with common sense but I can drive fucked up on scotch because the real life video game of driving car is 900% slower than my usual shit. I have literally been let off by the police for going 75 in a 65 while drunk because they couldn't tell I was drunk.

Also if you're not an alcoholic why are you drinking spirits? Stop before your weak non-understanding ass gets dehydrated and has a little baby headache.

>>9142397

So good the japs bought Laphroaig and that's why it's 60 bucks a bottle now. I miss my 40-50 price range on what is perhaps the best of the put-hair-on-your-chest scotches. It's not like Ardbeg is any cheaper and it's chocolate as fuck, that's like, rule 63 me's favorite. Without a vagina that chocolate flavor is just in the way of the delicious floral pain symphony I actually desire.

It is a Scottish sport to flip an entire giant log over in the air, this is actually a way of storming a castle - said log was thrown to scale a wall acting as a ramp. The flip is just so that it lands so hard it kills the archer that it will inevitably strike in the head.

Check your local liquor places for sales. Last time I bought a bottle of this, it was about $30.

Another good bourbon is Town Branch, though I'm not too sure what it goes for. I think I paid $25 last time I picked it up.

Remember, cheap bourbon is not good, good bourbon is not cheap

But have you tried Scotch? Technically, it is a Whiskey, albiet from a certain region and under stricter guidelines. I felt the same way about whiskey as you until I tried it. Up until that point I had mostly only had the lower-mid basics such as Jack, Crown, Evan Williams, and their various flavors. I wasn't a fan and found whiskey fucking nasty. For my 21st birthday I got a bottle of Macallan 12yr blend, totally changed my opinion. Good whiskey is all flavor and little burn. Shit whiskey is fake-tasting flavor, and a shitty, nasty burn for awhile. Really, a mouthful of good whiskey should go down like water with a slight burn. Another decent+ whiskey to try for straight shots is Maker's Mark. Not a scotch, but damn good. All this being said, Whiskey isn't my number 1 option when it comes to alcohol, not even in my top 5, but there are tolerable options

thread makes me chuckle fondly over the one time i tried the whiskey meme

told dad i wanted to try it, dad buys jose cuervo, i don't pace myself, empty a cup within a dota game, miss next game because im yakking violently into toilet. mom gets one more reason to despise dad. good times.

>cuervo
i mean chivas regal. damn me.
>>
>>9146101
>Technically, it is a Whiskey
I don't understand why a person would feel the need to write this phrase.
>>
Only limp wristed fairies dislike whiskey

i like your post.

Whisky is probably the best tasting liquor unmixed, and whisky drinks like old fashioneds or whisky sours are the best. Although, I might just be a biased whisky drinker. Or really, I just am. Although, I drink Canadian Mist or sometimes Jack. Not top shelf. That shit's expensive.

Fuck that, if I wanted to taste iodine I'd lick the bench in a Chem I laboratory.

What alcohol tastes the best when throwing up?
>>
>>9146355
Beer, though I've only puked up wine and beer myself. Fuck the wine voms, so fucking acidic.
>>
>>9146362
>Fuck the wine voms

Acid on top of acid that explains it, vodka and OJ would be just as bad

I don't know if this is also applicable to wine, but what actually got me interested in it was a 40 year tawny port. Was only given a very small glass worth, 60ml at most. But it sparked my interest in wine in general. Before that, all wines tasted like bitter grape juice. This one however, had an amazing taste to it. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though. Shame, really want to buy a bottle.

>>9146355
Vodka from my experience. Whiskey tastes horrible both ways, and while beer is delicious going down it tastes like a sweaty sack going up.

Vodka just tastes like water coming back up.

Whisky doesn't give me a hangover. No idea why.

Same, my first wine was Ridge Monte Bello and I immediately loved wine after that. I tasted communion wine which was some bulk jug California central valley swill after that and I was shocked at how bad the blood of Jesus Christ tasted

The "I thought I hated ____ until I tried _____" is extremely common in the drinks world. This whole notion that you have to autistically study to distinguish between industrial quality hobo drinks and decent stuff is something poor people tell each other to rationalize why they aren't drinking decent stuff

>drinking for literally any reason other than to get drunk

flavour is nothing more than a convenience on the way to getting smashed, anyone who "drinks for the taste" is a fucking faggot and a liar

there is no reason whatsoever to drink any alcohol for the taste, taken at face value you're paying a premium to drink something bitter and you'd be better off dissolving a caffeine tablet in your mouth for 1% the cost

it's a meme to allow rich people to get shitfaced without overtly bringing themselves down to the level of the common folk

You can just say that you've never had any good liquor, it's okay. Eventually you'll stop making minimum wage and be able to afford mid- or top-shelf booze. For now though, please leave /ck/. You're dropping property values.

>>9146822
Why taste anything at all? You should just buy some Soylent food product and drink water for the rest of your life
>>9146834
Yes, you don't even see the point of tasting coffee or tea. So why post here if you have no taste buds?

Wrong and go fuck yourself. People can enjoy neat alcohol without being alcoholics because some people enjoy how it tastes because everybody is different so dont make such fucking general statements like you got a clue

How do I get into whiskey? I've had it maybe 4 or 5 times, and I've enjoyed each glass a lot, but I just don't know where to start when it comes to getting my own stuff or even learning about it.
Someone point me in the right direction and I'll suck your e-peen

>>
>>9153239
What direction is it that you want?
Should I just list of the Laphroaig, Lagavulin, whatever list?
Ultimately it's better if you just figure out what you personally like on your own.
>>
>>9154710
>What direction is it that you want?
See thats the problem. I don't even know enough to answer that.
>>
>>9155280
Well it's all up to you then.
I cannot guide you if you don't know where you want to go.
>>
>>9153239
Go to a whisky tasting evening at your local whisky or spirit shop. Ask lots of questions. Keep an open mind, but try to identify what exactly you like in a whisky.
>>
>>9139089
most "top tier" whisky or whiskey is utter shit. Most mid tier whiskys will taste better than snob tier shit. There are some good expensive ones but whiskey/whisky snobs are as insufferable as wine snobs. Sometimes you don't have to pay a lot to get a good bottle. For about 15 american, Evan Williams 1783 is a solid choice. It's my go to.
