Don't mind me...

Why bust out the really good shit if it's not a special occasion? Even if you can afford as much of it as you want, if you drink it all the time it loses some of the appeal.

be happy you only embarrassed yourself. once when i was 20 i blacked out at a dorm party (usaf) and when my friends (also under 21) tried getting me to my room, security forces busted us. i got 3 of my friends in huge trouble, one of them got demoted. embarrassing doesn't cover that by half

Well I wouldn't expect someone that owned tgi fridays franchises to know anything about taste.

If you're doing that then you might as well get the cheapest shit going.

Alcohol experts of all sorts cannot tell the difference between expensive and cheap versions while doing blind taste tests, and often rate the cheap shit as equal to or better than the expensive shit. It's all artificial scarcity designed to convince idiots with too much money to waste it. You aren't buying a better product, you're buying the illusion of superiority.

How does in become druk?

Scientists have done numerous taste tests with all types of alcohol. The general consensus was that identifying a high end spirit from a mid-cost spirit, even some low, was failed by experts and non-alike. This is especially prevalent in wine enthusiasts wheren scientists literally dyed wines, misrepresented their origin and cost, etc.

Humanity assigns to spirits entirely by price point and notoriety and parrot popular - or expect - opinion.

This is uniquely compounded by the fact that "tasty" alcohol is a sum of its parts; of which are better represented as additives than included or aged with the alcohol hence why when we make mix drinks we add notes rather than buy liquors with the notes already included -- and those with included notes (think flavored vodka, the easiest liquor to flavor) inherently taste shit.

99.99% of alcohol enthusiasts are retarded.

The bottle he is pooring is entirely different and unlabeled. It's not a decanter for the Maker's as the Maker's is open and yet at full volume - thus not filling the decanter that is full.

Maker's Mark is good though, why would a genius billionaire waste money on products that aren't much better but sell based entirely on brand name? Those are marketed to genius billionaires' retarded children and urban cool types who are in mountains of debt despite living in the city.

I’ve lived in nipland for a decade. Nip whiskey really is amazing (Yamazaki age statement, Hibiki age statement etc)
The issue is that sometime around 2017/2018 redditors caught on and meme’d it so hard that the prices (literally) went 10x up over night.
I wouldn’t pay the prices people are paying right now. Yamazaki 18 is sellinn for $1,200. Back in ‘14 you could get a bottle of it for like $100-$200.

The only good news is that nip producers should be releasing new batches soon so the prices will (hopefully) stabilize.

The basic suntory (toki I think) has an okay taste but, I dunno, doesn't feel as powerful as an American whiskey? The coloration always seems more light and yellowy.

The Suntory Japanese gin is fucking great though.

Jefferson's Ocean is the most overrated, overhyped shit I have ever tried. Thank fucking God I had it at a bar so I now know to never buy a bottle. For that price, I could buy an Eagle Rare and a 12 pack of beer.

>doesn't feel as powerful as an American whiskey
I agree. I think that's why it's so popular. It's really light, but still has a solid ABV.

Miller Lite is genuinely good beer despite being the cheap stuff. It's won several gold medals for best American-style Light Beer at the World Beer Cup.

I've actually never tried those black-label Knob Creek. When you ask for Knob Creek at a bar it's always the basic one, and I've never bought a bottle because for the extra money I'd just go for Huling Station.

I might go for higher-end Knob Creek cause the only place that sold Huling Station near me closed though and I'm not gonna buy alcohol online; that's just weird to me.

I told a couple of people who reflexively said "and that's why they are millionaires, user"
No, you do not save enough buying off brand shit to magically become rich
They just didn't give a fuck
As I got older and made my own money I spent more time around rich and their offspring, none of them really give a fuck about appearances at all, they have ascended far beyond needing that kind of validation

Most whiskey snobs have a bottle of JW Black in their cabinet. It's a perfectly respectable entry scotch.

my dad makes a lot of money and buys expensive bottles for other people to drink and brag about, but still drinks Jim Beam more than anything because that's what he's liked for 40 years and drank when he had no money
people raised with the money have all expensive and refined tastes but the self many wealthy are surprisingly modest
same reason many millionaires still love big macs and snack cakes and drive their 2003 Honda civic
familiarity is comfortable, also many are really stingy as if they were still poor

Black and double black are perfectly fine. Blue is an absolute meme and not worth the price it commands at all. There's far better options easily available for half the price.

Believe me with every ounce of your being. It's not. It's fucking awful. I love booze, both for the taste (talking about good shit, not swill) and for the taste. But the feeling of being actually *drunk* vs just buzzed or even tipsy? It's horrible. You feel like you're on death's door every time and you the grim reaper is standing right there next to you the whole time.

Jesus, I'm already at that point.

Check out Redbreast. Irish whiskey. Somebody rec'd me it a while ago, and I never regretted it. It is some good shit. I'd rank it on the upper level of "tastefully midbrow" and middle "good for occasions".

Liquor goes well with desserts.

Most other vices are shit compared to alcohol. Weed turns you into a retard and smoking doesn't even make you feel good. Hard drugs are fucking dumb and shorten your life.

If you like Redbreast, do yourself a favor and try the Lustau iteration of Redbreast. Stuff is liquid gold, especially for a NAS offering.

Everything has its purpose. You sip good spirits with good cigars. It's a match made in heaven.

I actually saw the Lustau pairing of brandy de jerez at my booze store, but not whiskey. It wasn't super great, compared to their normal offerings of sherry, which are pretty great themselves.

user are you familiar with product placement?

Extreme hot take incoming: whiskey & cigars is ok, brandy & cigars is good, tequila & cigars is great, but a good G&T with a cigar is god-tier.

it's amazing how much a good cab sauv or a douro or even a malbec elevates a ribeye

>but a good G&T with a cigar is god-tier.
Fuuuuuck no. I can ONLY handle gin WITH tonic. But gin by itself...holy fucking shit, how the HELL did Brits EVER think that shit tasted good? I feel fucking nauseous just thinking about it. Ugh.

Gin and tonics are probably my favorite mixed drinks. Negronis are ok but I really never order them and if I'm making a gin drink at home, 99.99% of the time it's going to be a g&t

To add to this, Plymouth gin is the only gin I ever found even remotely palatable. Everything else...eugh.

Stop drinking shitty gin user. A very dry Hendricks martini will reorient your perspective

$500 is like the absolute upper limit for me. And it usually does pay off. Some of those couple-hundred dollar bottles actually are absolutely worth the money, and are exclusively for drinking sparingly. Past that limit though, it's all placebo and diminishing returns.

I've said it a lot, but alcohol is one of the greatest examples of the law of diminishing returns. $20 bottle is worse than a $50 bottle is worse than a $100 bottle is worse than a $250/$500 bottle, but really, after that is just pure memes.

Never was particularly interested in absinthe except for this one specific bottle that I really want, but is no longer made for years now. It's called Blue's Cat and made supposedly by this one woman on the east coast. It's an extinct bottle, as far as I know.

>I drink all my firsts neat, to establish a baseline of the actual taste, before moving on to modifying it.

fair enough, but was it at least chilled? Vodka and gin neat should be very very cold.

Nouveau riche are all designer label all the time because they are terrified of being found out
Go to a private jet terminal in any big city and you can sort people real quick
people in uniforms work there, new money are dressed to the nines with all designer stuff, old money look like homeless people who snuck past security

>fair enough, but was it at least chilled? Vodka and gin neat should be very very cold.
Of course. Even chilled, I couldn't stomach that Monkey 47. I have fuckin PTSD over that shit. I'd sooner drink tequila over that, and I hate tequila too.

Never really tried a lot of whiskey, what's the verdict on WT101? Is it good straight?

It's good. Don't know if I'd take it straight unless you really love burn for some reason. Just add some water or ice and enjoy it.

I know exactly what you're talking about, kek. Delaware Phoenix Distillery. Some old hippy cat lady just decided she wanted to start making absinthe one day and it turned out that she was really good at it. I don't have Blues Cat, but I do have another bottle of hers in my bar right now

>Monkey 47.

Yeah, absolutely the Rick & Morty of gin. It's fine I guess but people who like it are like a cult. It's weird for me to think of drinking gin neat because to me it's always an ingredient, even if in something like a martini where it's basically 4 ounces of gin and a splash of vermouth shaken

>I hate tequila too.

If you get a chance, try this stuff out. It's more like a brandy, almost buttery, than the usual super-citrusy-sour-bitter tequila taste

But I like salty forest fires ;_;

you fuckin scotch guys

tfw I bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16 and it took me months to get every vile ounce of it down

>but I do have another bottle of hers in my bar right now
Fuckin noice. Take a pic if you can. I think if anyone has a still existing unopened bottle of Blues, they could sell it for a fucking high premium. Shit would be an asset unto itself.

>If you get a chance, try this stuff out. It's more like a brandy, almost buttery, than the usual super-citrusy-sour-bitter tequila taste
I'll add it to my (potentially) to-get list. My most current one is a rum. Diplomatico Ambassador. About a $200+ bottle, but one I've been wanting for a couple years now.

Their normal Diplomatico is already some really good shit for a modest price (< $50), so I'm excited to get it here soon.

I'm more of an applejack guy.

I had that before. Was really underwhelming. Kinda rough going down, and more sour than sweet. A 5/10 bottle.

It came with this matching green drawstring bag

>Diplomatico Ambassador. About a $200+ bottle, but one I've been wanting for a couple years now.

oh snap, I had some of that in Panama. It's a lot like Zacapa XO, lots of sugar, little bit of spice and warmth

Noice. A bit of showpiece bottle if I had one.

Have a bottle of the Zacapa XO I got my dad a few years back. He still hasn't opened it. He's 90% whiskey guy, it seems. Oh well.

But yeah, very excited to order that Diplomatico one. Gonna save that one for a special day, along with another bottle I have of Brandy. Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real (VERY difficult bottle to find).

Lagavulin is very very peaty. Not as much as say a Laphroig or Ardbeg (or a balls to the wall Octomore), so you started in the deep end. A Highland Park is a better place to start with incorporating a smoky taste to scotch if you're looking for something different than a Speyside sherry bomb

I used to do embarassing shit like this, even alone. I'd start singing along loudly to songs or text people I shouldn't be. Now, no matter how much I drink, there's like a giant wall that keeps me from cringe behavior. It's like I leveled up my alcoholism and turned the cringelord debuff into exhaustionx2.

>He's 90% whiskey guy, it seems. Oh well.

lol, I did exactly that with my brother. Picked him up a bottle of XO for his birthday because it'd pair well with the cigars he likes, turns out he prefers scotch

It was the brine, really, I had some Smokehead that was peaty as hell and I liked that, but that Lagavulin is just not for me

I'm surprised it took so long for you to show, Carlos. Have your (you)

he was right

Trump is surprisingly good with people. It makes sense to go with food that is less formal that requires table etiquette, etc.

t. american

1. Macallan
2. Maker's Mark
3. Famous Grouse
4. Chivas Regal
5. Jim Beam Honey Oak Cask

Those are the best I've drank, I actually give bourbon a slight edge while Scotch whisky seems superior to everything else.

it's fucking always those fatties that say this shit as well

yeah cold fast food is really a great choice for any engagement. Personally i keep a fridge dedicated to just preserves of particularly good years.

Japan makes shockingly good scotch whiskey that's still slept on for the price. It tends to be lighter and more structured than most scotches but Lord it's good. Nikka and Suntory Toki are great for the price, and the high-end Yamazaki is up there with the best bottles it's possible to buy

Would like to try it sometime, but I never have enough money for stuff like that. Doesn't help that I abhor sake and Japanese beer is also the worst piss I've drank.

Have you been living under a rock? Japanese whisky has pretty much tripled in price over the last 5-7 years across the board for the more well known bottles.

The beer is an acquired taste. It's never my first choice but i can dig it if I'm at a Ramen shop and it's that or American pisswasser.

>Doesn't help that I abhor sake and Japanese beer is also the worst piss I've drank.

lol I assure you their whiskeys are nothing like sake

>Japanese whisky has pretty much tripled in price over the last 5-7 years across the board for the more well known bottles.

Yup, and it's still slept on. That Hibiki Harmony I've got would cost twice as much if it said Glenmorangie on the label

> I abhor sake
Not trying to come off like a smug cunt or anything but this is probably do more to ignorance more than anything. Nihonshu (sake) has such a wide variety of flavor profiles it’s impossible to paint it in such a blanket statement.
It’s like saying “I hate wine” what do you mean? Do you hate sweet white Zinfandels or do you hate deep tannin laden barolo?
It doesn’t help that you can usually only find dogshit in foreign countries though. As a very basic entry level sake I recommend you try Dassai(23/39/45)
It’s a very basic profile and very “clean” but will probably blow whatever you’ve had until now completely out of the water. You can usually get a bottle of 45 for $35-$50 in america.

If any of you were real men you’d be an alcoholic in your twenties and ruin the best thing that ever happened to you. Then keep drinking

Yeah yeah I know. Listen, I'm a poorfag but there's a lot of cheap whisky wine and beer varieties I like while that wasn't the case with their Japanese equivalents.

Just because you have money doesn't mean you buy overly expensive alcohol all the time. They probably have some for special occasions. Donald Draper drank Canadian fucking Club in Mad Men, the lowest of the low whisky in Canada. Sterling drank smirnoff.

Fair enough. There’s lots of good cheap sake here in nipland but you need to know what you’re looking for. I’m sure the only cheap shit that gets exported is probably a step above rice cooking wine, and the stuff that does get exported gets marked up like crazy so I can’t blame you.

>wtf why are you not spending hundreds of dollars constantly?
This is why you’re poor. Pretending to be rich. I work with dudes like you all time. You get your first big salary and buy a Lamborghini or some shit then sell it 6 months later because you drive it like a track toy and can’t afford repairs.
I’m not sayin don’t spend money but don’t spend every penny you get. And read the fucking contracts.

tbf vodka is the most retarded shit to buy expensive though

Bartender here. Makers mark is incredibly tasty and a solid bourbon.
Johnny walker is a master blender and they source their whiskies from distilleries around Scotland.
The ashtray charcoal flavour you are getting is peat, and you can get some good whiskies out there that don’t use peated malt.

For me? It’s gin

That's the joke. Norman clearly acquired a taste for it when he was a young man, and now that he could drink any whiskey in the world he still goes with the classics. Kino.

Expensive vodka is almost uniformly hilarious. Run a $10 vodka through a Brita filter and it is now a $40 vodka. Run it through the filter again and it's $80 vodka.

Very much true. Much as we try and deny and present otherwise, we are indeed creatures of habit. What we found comforted us in youth, we carry with us into our age.

yep, just buy the cheapest shit, freeze it and do shots with your bros or mix it

I think for Trump it's more so people can't spit in his food like would happen at a sit down restaurant. He can just send an assistant to go grab some burgers.

Been there mate. I downed just about a whole fifth of jack daniels when I was young and stupid. Ended up throwing up all over this whore who was trying to rub up against my dick and take advantage of me. Funny shit.

Or if you want to fancy it up, seriously run it through a (new) Brita filter a couple of times, that is literally the only difference between the cheapest vodka and the most expensive vodka. Rotgut gets filtered once, mid-range stuff a couple times, Grey Goose and the like 5 times

I make gin martinis that have a shot of ultra filtererd vodka, and it's just whatever's on sale run through a Brita. It works beautifully.

Thankfully I'm a sleepy drunk, however that doesn't make me immune to projectile vomiting due to the room spinning in my head at 100 mph. The one time I've gotten seriously drunk and couldn't sleep made the journey back home eternal, holding the puke in the taxi was self torture

>the Queen
user...I...

At that point just mix tequila with grapefruit soda

Yep - people like Norman would go for Makers Mark, fancy enough. But he is pouring 9ut of a diffe e net bottle. Probably decanted Costco blended whiskey.

Horseshit

Oh, well, if SCIENTISTS have done it must be true. Don’t even need you to cite sources, I kneel before ALMIGHTY SCIENCE and also watch a lot of Rick and Morty.

>has the highest percentage of malt whisky in a blend at 35%
Good choice user.

It’s just a reused maple syrup bottle full o moonshine

Makers Mark is pretty solid, not everyone has money to get Pappy Van Winkle.
