Good Whiskey

[skinofevil]

There's a lot to be said for a sub-$20 bottle of American whiskey like Old Grand-Dad or Very Old Barton. But when it's time to invest in a $100+ bottle for special occasions, as I did today, I think I made a very solid choice with Orphan Barrel "Rhetoric" 24 years old. Text can't really convey just how nice this bourbon is. The nose is heavy on oak and leather, with vanilla just under those influences. On the palate, those persist, but aren't as dominant, adding up to a strong sense of dark chocolate and tobacco. It's beautiful as a sipper -- in fact, so much so that to adulterate it with anything other than a couple ice cubes would be tantamount to wasting your money. Just a beautiful bourbon, and though it's in the ~$150, it deserves every penny of its asking price.

I’d have gave you a like but I can’t? I enjoy a good bourbon with a good cigar... However I prefer proper whiskey

I only drink what most would call “scotch” on the rare.... Proper whiskey hehe

 

[skinofevil]

Yeah, that? That is fucking crazy. $150-ish for a 24 year old bourbon is plenty good.

Indeed, I’d never pay those prices even if I had the money... Glenfiddich is a great scotch around £30 a bottle

I'm more of a Bourbon or Rye kind of fella, myself. Usually, the $40-50 range is as high as I'll go, and only $20-ish if it's just a session bottle between myself and a few friends. But I hear the thing to do, if you're a gentleman, is to have a bottle of "the good stuff" stashed for special occasions.

I drink a $3 dollar bottle of blush

 

[Gyroscope]

Wild Turkey 101, piss warm straight from the bottle. $25-ish.

any johnnie w. fuck the picky ones like prefer that lable or this label blah blah
good ol john daniels always dependable and goes down so fucking easy
bulleit bourbon fucking love it...wish it came in bigger bottles...only can get 26'rs here in T.o. fucking bastards.
knob creek is a good ol kick in the gut and ass...more gut..but if you eat a lot during you'll pay for it dearly the next morning on the shitter
many scot blends...and even glenfiddich is good on the purely scot side

enjoy it all...not one i can really criticize...

jack d raped me good overnight

 

[skinofevil]

Oh, if you want one you can criticize, get one called "Virginia Black." That shit shouldn't even be labeled as whiskey. $45-50, real fancy bottle, and based on first-hand experience, all but about $5 of that asking price is all for the fancy ass bottle. Even Rebel Yell tastes more like whiskey than "Virginia Black", because the overall impression of "Virginia Black" is that it's not actually whiskey at all but, rather, whiskey flavored vodka.

Another bad one is "Headbanger American Gold Spirit-Whiskey" -- a nasty, syrupy, honey-and-maple-syrup monstrosity supposedly endorsed by some quote/end-quote "musician" or other, which one I forget.

 

[Big Sexy]

Its called an Old Fashioned for a reason
This is my original whiskey cocktail since high school and will never change.

 

[FromHell!]

Last few shots of Jameson and getting a 26'r soon of Buffalo Trace very soon. Today will be a good day.

If you like proper whiskey then this is for you, if you're drinking to get pished then cheap bourbon will do it...
