I got a high dollar Scotch Flight in Vegas a few years ago and I just dont like the stuff. It all has a combo flowery/peet taste I dont like. Maybe I'll have to try a few more some time. I think they were all Glennsomethingorothers.
I wasnt much of an Irish Whisky fan either until I tried Writers Tears and Red Breast. Tullamore Dew was too much peet or whatever that distinct Irish Whisky flavor is.

I have a bottle of Paddy in the cupboard. I prefer my fifteen year old single malt Scotch.

I've never tried Paddy. It looks pretty cheap tho. Most anything below $30/bottle is pretty dicey IMO.
For example, I bought a bottle of Benchmark for $24 and it was shit. I bought Buffalo Trace for $25 and it was way better.
Anything under $19/bottle is usually best for toilet cleaning.

A while back we grabbed a large bottle of this cheap CHEAP whisky we found at the liquor store called "Old Crow". It's like 12 bucks a 5th :crampe:
Looked forward to it all week. It was actually NOT bad at all. It was smooth and had a decent flavor.
My thing is, I like the bite and the after taste matters to me. We were NOT expecting to enjoy this whisky at all. Even still, I would never ever tell anyone "yeah go buy this" lol
We like getting stuff like that for fun lol.
We were doing this 3 month subscription where we chose a bottle of whisky/bourbon and would get decent sized samples with it. I can't remember what it was called.
He is a writer so we definately have the Writers Tears on hand. Woodford Reserve as well.

My grandma drank 10 High and water and I would mix her drinks since I was 12 and would taste test em. My step tads brother drank Old Fitzgerald with soda (or sodee as they said in Missurah) and I drank the same down there when I could. I bet I could still drink both and they would remind me of my childhood.

My grandma always kept a bottle of blackberry brandy in her dresser drawer and I used to sneak sips. The smell of the stiff reminds me of that.
She had it for medicinal purposes, of course. And my grandmother was kind of fundi...pentecostal and raised me in that so drunkenness was very frowned upon.

Red Breast 12 Year Irish Whisky:
This shit is my GOLD STANDARD for which all other Irish Whiskeys are measured!!!
Pretty mild on the peat. Nearly no burn in the throat or when it reaches your stomach. If I was gonna get drunk as hell fast, I could slug this shit down straight!
Generally, its $70/bottle. Sometimes I can get it for $66.
If you buy this and cannot drink it, you should simply kill yourself. Thats how fucking stupid you, your life, and your very existence are. FACT!

Good luck to him!! Shit is about unobtainium down here. About $25 retail, I actually found some in a haji owned liquor store for $69. Fuck that!
Angels Envy
Not much on the nose. sort of basic bitch
This stuff is smooth!!!! No real burn. Clean finish. Its got some kind of smoke...almost, maybe like scotch? I cant nail it.
Has a bit of lingering after taste. Not unpleasant but not something I'd crave.
I'd buy again for the smoothness alone. The taste profile doesnt do a lot for me. I'm slightly negative, SLIGHTLY, on the taste profile. Its got a nice balance though. Its not too strong/weak start, midway, or finish.
I previously mixed this with soda and it was good. Thats probably heresy tho. I'm a pretty major heretical when it comes to mixing whiskey.
I drink Crown Royal and even Golden Wedding. I aint into pricey booze.

I didn't ask what he paid. I avoid doing that with him. If I do ask, he will give me a look that makes me weak in the knees and puts me in my place lol.

I'm very careful with what I ask for or say I want because he never says no. Or passes up a chance to get something I want.
I said I wanted a pasta maker....I caught him checking out pasta makers lol.
I have him on my bank account. He has unfettered access to anything that's mine and he can use it for whatever he wants. I tell him all the time to take things out of OUR account. He never does :Doh2:

Paddy is hard to find where I live. I think I paid about forty five bucks Canadian for it. Tullamore Dew is the most commone Irish whisky sold around here. But, Scotch is so much better.

Yea, I dont like Tullamore Dew. To me, its bottom of the barrel. Writers Tears is way way way better.
I've seen Paddy's at the local Binny's. Its $21US/750ml whatever that is Canadian. Maybe I'll buy a bottle and do a head to head against Red Breast and Writers Tears.

Well it better be good! Because if it's not I'm gonna have to choke it down lol
For Christmas he had a custom blended whiskey made for me. Personalized the label. And had the map of the Irish town my family clan is from etched on a glass.

I'm not surprised! The shit HAS to be good to everyone. Binny's got like 5 CASES this year and the shit sold out in less than 3 days!!!!

Keep that poors shit outta muh thread!!!!
If I have a drink it is never straight. I always have a mixed drink. My fave are mojitos. White rum goes in a mojito, so I guess I like white rum. I guess Bacardi.
OK, Scotch.
I bought Johnny Walker Red- preferred by Winston Churchill
Dewars White label
Macallan 12 Double Cask
This is the end of the road for Scotch Whiskey on this thread. ITS ALL SHIT!!!!!!!
YOU are fucking WRONG if you like Scotch!! Fuk YUO, fuk your pallet, fuck your taste, and fuk that fukin Herman prolly thinks Skol Vodka and Scotch are the same because they both have the same magnitude of shit taste!!!!
Just for shits:
Johnny Walker Red- shit LITERALLY tastes like the antiseptic smell I remember from being in a hospital in the 70's coupled with with the smell of latex gloves. I shit you not! Its that fucking bad! Anyone who is a nurse and knows the smell when you open a sealed surgical kit will relate. I wouldnt use JHR for ANYTHING!
Dewars White Label: The best BY FAR out of the 3. Reminds me a bit of Cutty Sark. Terrible, but not too terrible. Tastes like Scotch mixed with sub standard irish whiskey.
Macallan 12: This shit tastes like someone poured liquid smoke in it. IT BRINGS THE SMOKE! Mixed 50/50 with water, tastes like a fucking ash tray! WTF is wrong with you stupid asshole scotch drinkers? Do you hate life?
For shits and giggles, I chased this with a small sip of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye that I paid $60 for. Sweet Jeebus! Its sublime! It smells heavenly! The taste isnt as good as the smell but its a 6 while the 3 above are 1-1.5.
Thats enough of this scotch shit, NO MORE. BE GONE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! DEMONS COME OUT!!!!!

Lady, this is a fucking WHISKEY THREAD!!!!!!!
However, seeing how even the shittiest, cheapest rum is 10X superior to Scotch, you get a pass!
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye
This shit is fairly new. OMG does it have a good nose! Its got a bit of burn as you'd expect from a rye. Aftertaste lingers and I'm hot a huge fan. Smooth going down. I'd sooner drink Woodford Reserve straight.
I'ma bit under the weather tonight so I made a pitcher of hot toddies with it. I have to say, it was great! Much sweeter than using Woodfords Double Oak!
I've always been intrigued at how the harshness of a rye goes away when mixed.
I wouldnt buy this again but its not bad and the smell is out of this world!!!!
JD and JW are an insult to the palate. Bourbon whisky is undrinkable.
Quote from: DKG on April 27, 2024, 07:58:49 AMJD and JW are an insult to the palate. Bourbon whisky is undrinkable.
Sure AF not compared to Scotch! JD Black swill is more drinkable straight than any of that shit I wasted my money on last night! Dont be all butthurt about your shitty Scotch!
Normal people are big fans of the Old Forester juice which is made by the same company as JD and Woodford.

Bourbon is a whiskey so this poast is allowed. I hope.
Anyway my grandpa gave me this bottle of Jim Beam way back when so it could be anywhere from 20 to 30 years old. How long does it stay good for? I'm wondering if I should drink it down before it goes bad or if I should store it longer until it's the best time.

I've drank Whiskey that was way over a decade old. As long as the cap isnt left off for a long time, I think it will last forever or until the cork rots.
When you decide to crack it open, you should drink/compare a brand new bottle for the hell of it.
Personally, I hate Jim Beam. I call it "rot gut" because it acts like poison once it hits my stomach. Some people love it tho.
