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'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!

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'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.

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!!!!!

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!!!!

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.

So, I went to Costco with my daughter when I was in Florida recently. I bought a big bottle of 4 Roses single barrel and a big bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Oak.

The Double Oak was as good as I expected, the 4 Roses was absolute shit and I instructed my son in law to GIVE that $60/bottle shit to the first asshole he could talk into it!

I also bought a bottle of Russell's Reserve 10year which was good. I've had it before. I found a bottle of Russell's Reserve 15 year but couldnt bring myself to pay $499 for it.

One day, we went to a Total Wine and the St. Augustine rep was there. He let me try most all their shit. It was all very acceptable, some even good. One bottle, cant remember which, was just so so. I recommend starting with their Straight Florida Whiskey to see if you like it and go from there.

Since my trip to Florida in mid-August, I bought a bottle of Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. DID NOT LIKE! Shit drinks a LOT hotter than its 110 proof...in fact, my JD Select Single Barrel at 130.7 proof drinks less hot!!! The Russell's 10 year is much better and smoother IMO. BTW, the 10 yr is $40 and the Single Barrel is $65. $25 more for WORSE juice!!!!

I also recently bought a bottle of Ben Holladay Soft Wheat Bourbon. Wasnt as good as the standard Ben Holladay. At $59/bottle, for either, get the regular bottled in bond.

Heaven Hill. $40/bottle. Buy it. Its good. Angels Envy $38/bottle. Buy it. Its decent and smooth.

Bought a bottle of Old Forester 1920. The last bottle impressed me. This one? Not so much. Maybe I'll try it again in a year.

Oh, Uncle Nearest..... they resurrected this brand as an homage to the black slave that taught Jack Danies how to make whiskey. Its not worth writing home about. I'd rather drink Old Fitzgerald.

Widow Jane. Not worth the money. PASS!

Michters anything...its ok. They have a Sour Mash that I really like in a High Ball!

Jeffersons, FUK THAT SHIT!!!!!!

Yellowstone, I POURED A BOTTLE DOWN THE DRAIN!!!!!!

Chatanooga Whiskey. DID NOT PREFER!!! Cost twice what its worth.

Bulleit Bourbon, The SOLE reason I bought a bottle last year is a rumor they were anti gay. It was decent but not one of my go to's.

Knob Creek, its not my jam but its very decent. No real sweetness compared to other whiskeys.

Makers Mark anything, ESPECIALLY 46. WAY too sweet for me!!! Its not Southern Comfort, but still, way too sweet! Like diabeetus sweet!

Ezra Brooks. Stay the fuck away from that shit. BAAAAAAD!

Redneck Riviera... lightweight swill. I like John Rich's politics but his whiskey? Not so much!

If you order whiskey over the bar in Oz...you'll get a bourbon;
you want an actual scotch...you'll need to specify it specifically or refer to the brand name.

The only bourbon I enjoy is JD.

As for actual scotch: Chivas regal, J&B, Johnny Walker. My wife bought me a JW Blue label for my birthday once, and it was the silkiest scotch that I've ever tasted. Beautiful but at $250+ a bottle, very rich for your average drink. I don't enjoy wasting money on expensive drinks that I literally piss out after half an hour or so.

I tried Conor McGregor's Proper Twelve blended Irish whiskey but wasn't overly impressed. I think I had one shot on the rocks...the rest I had to mix with dry ginger ale.

I have heard that too here. If my girlfriend and I go out, it's usually to a sports bar and I drink draft beer.

Quote from: Shen Li on September 10, 2024, 11:09:03 PMI thought the Imperial Palace closed.

It morphed. First it became the Quad, now its the Linq. Still the same-ish shithole.

It managed to become less of an attraction than it was when it was still called the Imperial Palace. The elevators in that place are the absolute worst! You'll wait forever for one and when it gets to you, it'll be packed!

They used to have a car collection/museum that was always great to kill time, now thats gone too. The rooms have always been teeny tiny and pretty much a dump. Hash House A Go Go is the only place I'd consider eating at in the hotel and I dont know if I'd ever hang out at any of the bars. The place is a dump.....well, it was always a dump, but now its a dump without any character.

The last time I stayed there was 2008 because my boss paid for the rooms. I doubt I ever will again. Really, the only attractions in the area are in the promenade space between the Linq and Flamingo. In-N-Out Burger and the High Roller Ferris Wheel are down there.

These days, I have about 4 choices in hotels:
1. Bellagio-this place is the bomb! My wife and I love it and since my mom gets the VIP treatment and has a concierge that she talks to regularly, she gets free rooms and a huge discount on our rooms. You should see the free suite they give my mom! There goes my inheiritance!  :crampe:  Plus, she gets to check in through the VIP lounge where they have their own semi private elevator and they drag us 2 poors along with them.
2. Caesars Augustus Tower- it has a fantastic view no matter where your room is. I like to face the Bellagio Fountains. When we stayed there last, I'd go get the rental car and have my mom, step dad, and wife meet me at the door at the bottom of the tower where you can drive right up to the door. Super convenient. Then we'd drive wherever and valet park. My mom is in her 70's so insisting she let me pick her up and valet everywhere keeps her from getting worn out and cranky.
3. Treasure Island- Not a great place but they have BOGO nights where I get a huge 1000 sq ft suite for about $150/night. Its also walking distance to the Fashion Show Mall.
4. Paris- Has several things to do like the Eiffel Tower and some decent shows usually. Too many faggits for me to stay there much tho. Mon Ami Gabi has patio seating where you can eat and watch the Bellagio Fountains as well as the freaks. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant is pretty awesome too.

I used to really like Luxor but it's become a dirty and broken down dump. They need to shut it down and remodel. The inclinator/elevators are a cool ride up to the rooms. My mom tells me that when it opened in the 90's, it was way cooler!

I think I want to stay at the Fountainebleu soon. I hear its cool.

I savour the flavour. I am not a power drinker. I have food with alcohol too.

I bought a bottle of Knob Creek 9 year Friday after watching a review on The Bourbon Junkies.

I dont like it. It has a lot of burn everywhere! front, back, cheeks. Its spicy and drinks way higher than its 100 proof. By comparison, my bottle of Jack Single Barrel Select Barrel Proof at 130 proof isnt hot or overly spicy at all. The Knob Creek drinks like astringent. Will not buy again. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and thats generous.

Smooth sailing. Its weird though reminds a lot of Crown Royal just stronger(50% alc.)with vanillay and pepper undertones to it. I've been gifted it a few times from me older bro but this was the first time I actually got it meself. I'd give it a strong 7/10. Its 45 bucks here in Toronto and well worth the try.

Looks like its a Jim Beam product like this Knob Creek I just bought. I might try it since its $24.99 here. I'm not a big fan of anything Jim Beam related but I can always pour it out!!!!

J&B Rare is one of my go-to Scotch Whiskeys. I don't know if you're aware, but it's actually a blend of 42 whiskeys. It costs around AU$50.00 a bottle (700ml) so mid-rangeish in price.

I can't handle blended scotch but can drink single malt like water...  :dontknow:

Blended fucks my stomach up and gives me hangovers.
