Drinking my fav cheap bourbon tonight. Benchmark old no 8 brand
Somebullshitaccount
YES I love Aberlour!
IAmTheNewOne
Went last year. Pretty good tour.
Hoppa
Me too! Drunk at 10am.. what a day
IAmTheNewOne
My memory (or what's left of it after a few other distillery visits that day) exactly!
2012nighthawk7
Islay Scotches are my favorite, but there are no bad scotches.
legolasmcm
My sentiments exactly.
themaddestdoctor
Always up vote whisky. I've finished a bottle of batch 58 (took me a couple of months though) Now on my first bottle of Kilchoman.!!

Cask strength! Strip the paint off the side of a boat but I love it. Still got a1/3 bottle left of that. Drinking a Dalwhinnie 15 right now!

Aberlour, aged in sherry casks...

12yr Glenfiddich neat yet i keep it in my freezer so it stays ice cold.
Bukkhockey
Everyone please try Woodford double oak at some point in your life. It's majestic
FedeliskSkielskPardascoumbBaBarnd
Just finished one ... lot a character in it and it's all lovely
Bukkhockey
I force people to just smell it even if they don't drink whiskey, never had someone who wasn't impressed. Ita the best under $60usd IMO
reverendfixxxer
The Balvenie's 17-year Doublewood is better than sex. Mostly because I actually get to taste The Balvenie from time to time.
EnergyFiend
Speaking of...french kissing someone while you have a mouthful of single malt is rather exquisite.
dragonfirecantmelticewalls
The 14 year old Caribbean cask is a pleasant surprise too, refreshingly different from what you’d expect
GuW69
Yeah, you shouldn't even try to taste other 17y olds
reverendfixxxer
Yes, for... ummm... legal reasons.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
They have a 17 year doublewood? I've only ever seen the 12... You, sir, have opened my eyes to a new horizon.
sambaloelek
They used to have it at Costco. Been looking out for it to re-up.
Cthulhuonabike
Talisker is my favorite. Was fortunate enough to visit the distillery years back
nearurod
Drinking Talisker at this moment. Cheers!
whiterainbodywash
Talisker Dark Storm mmmmmm
broens
The shit
CygloPargen
Same. Talisker is the perfect whisky.
PendejadasDeNalgas
whiterainbodywash
It’s similar in character, if you like Bunnahabhain you’ll probably enjoy Talisker. I’m trying this non peated islay, it’s interesting.
Dillonnnyousonofabitch
I just went there. Isle of Skye. Amazing place.
rezpawner
Same here. The 18 year one is fantastically smooth. Well worth it.
Areawoman84
Was just there. We got back to the states and stocked up Talisker Storm and Oban distillers edition and now I'm pregnant and can't have any
TehMightyEngineer
Is it shameful I like even nice whiskeys on the rocks?
DaddySchlongleg
No. Some add ice, water, scotch rocks or just have it neat. Shouldn't be shamed for enjoying whiskey the way you do.
DodgerMac
I’ll have mine on the rocks if I want to calm it down, but when I’m trying a whisk(e)y for the first time my first sip will be neat.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
Fuck yes! I've got a bottle of A'Bunadh Batch #28 collecting dust at the back of my shelf. I support I should crack that bad boy now.
WhiskywithnoE
Batch 28! Old school.
delta19051702
More Irish whiskey than Scotch whiskey. But yes!!!!
DrunkenWeasel
Same my friend.
delta19051702
Nice!! Any favorites? Or recommendation? Bargain basket, I love Powers. More expensive, Tyrconnell Port cask finish
MordorGate

FedeliskSkielskPardascoumbBaBarnd
Whisky and Whiskey both ... why can't it be both :)
Zer0th
That would be a blend then... hmm, I don't know if I've ever had a blend from whisky and whiskey.
narcoleptiKnickers
Whisky - Scotland; Whiskey - Ireland
rezpawner
They are very different products.
wafflehugs
It can! Whisky for Scotch, whiskey for their American brethern
UnderTheRedHoodJT
Whiskey for their Irish brethren
SteveZesu
Whiskey for American and Irish. I usually write it whiskey because the 'e' is pleasing to my eye.
whitewingdevil
Ey, you're both right. It comes from whether your nations whisky heritage hails from Ireland or Scotland, the E was added to differentiate.
whitewingdevil
That's why Japanese whisky is spelt "whisky" and bourbon is a "whiskey". 'Twas all marketing to begin with, the E business.
ThomasFernandez
I heard it was whiskey if the country had an e in its name
delta3835
That's alcohol abuse. Alcohol didn't do anything to deserve being WASTED!

I loves me some Glenmorangie, but good choices all!
bgrantrobus
I tip my hat to the inclusion of some fine Australian whisky. It’s difficult to find in the U.S.
Maaaaaaate
Cheers :) I toured the Nant distillery last year, it's a tiny place but makes awesome stuff. The port cask tastes just like xmas pudding.
QuickbeamTheHasty
Nice! How ist the Milsean an the Signet?
Maaaaaaate
Two totally different drinks. Signet is real complex and peaty. Milsean's kinda sweet and pretty fruity since it was finished in wine casks.
Maaaaaaate
I've come to really like a smokey aftertaste but the Milsean is a completely different direction to that.
DodgerMac
Sweet! Your favorite?
Maaaaaaate
At the moment, the Lagavulin 16yo. So peaty! It's almost liquid smoke in a glass. Otherwise, the Glenmorangie Signet is very enjoyable.
DodgerMac
I have a Glenmorangie Original right now, good but it’s no Lagavulin or Bruichladdich
Maaaaaaate
Ohhhh I need to get my hands on some Bruichladdich. I've heard it is next level.
UnlikelyMotivation
Irish Whiskey called Writer's Tears. It's brilliant.
meheezen
That name is genius. Im gonna see if i can order some
30mg
Aberlour is quite good. I didn't enjoy the 10 year though. It's a shame that I am so poor. However, that opened up a new world of Bourbon..
30mg
..American Whiskey and Canadian Whisky for me. Collingwood, Gooderham & Worts and Stalk & Barrel are all really good Canadian Whiskies.

Hennigans you’ll be as loose as a goose and ready to roll in no time. And because it’s odorless, why, it’ll be our little secret.

More of a bourbon man myself. But have been known to enjoy a nice scotch from time to time.

I appreciate bourbon fans - without them, there wouldn't be any bourbon casks to mature Whisky in.
bigpetesautowreckin
Yeah more and more I'm leaning bourbon, noahs mill is the top of the food chain at my house
ManannanMacLir
Woodford reserve does it for me. I like corn style bourbons
yzmotoxer807
Have you ever tried Angel’s Envy? Same mash bill as Woodford (crafted by the same master distiller), but finished aging in port wine barrels
ManannanMacLir
I’ll give it a shot
yzmotoxer807
They also make a rye now that’s finished in rum barrels. Haven’t tried it, but it’s on the list.
jhs2595
Bought a bottle Tuesday. Made in my home state too, which is a bonus.
stabby506
Same here
metalasylum
What bourbon would you recommend/what are you drinking now?
crann
Weller Special Reserve. My go to. Its a nice easy price too if you can find it. It goes fast in some places when the allotment comes in.
crann
But I've seen a dozen bottle collecting dust in other places. Sad, really.
PieSub
Tried a few but can't say I've been swayed. Recommendations?
imsocookin
Glenmorangie Sherry Cask, or Glenmorangie Nectar, with a splash of water.
DistantRelativeOfTommyRepeatTimmons
Basil Hayden's or Bullet. Those are my go-tos
SnarkyScience
Eagle Rare. Angel’s Envy. Maker’s Mark <— because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s bad don’t let the snobs tell you otherwise
crann
I agree with the Maker's Mark remark, not bad, not my fave either.
spookysprout
Marker’s is my fave bc it’s easy to get and not ridiculously expensive. Love a good basil Hayden’s on the rocks every once in awhile.
crann
Been enjoying 4 Roses lately. My go to is Weller Special Reserve, but its really hard to find here, sells out quick. Similar price points.
TheRealCaveman
Why no one mention Woodford? Try Woodford.
ItsAllAnElaborateHoax
I would have mentioned it. Woodford hits about the max of what I'm willing to spend, and the quality/price ratio seems to hit a sweet spot.
Xeramus
Bookers is trash for the price imo. Basil Haydens for cocktails. Elijah Craig does some fantastic stuff, but its overpriced anywhere but USA
RubiisMilk
Wild turkey 101
AtomicCB
Stagg Jr isn't half bad, and not nearly as unobtanium as george t stagg..
iloveyourdogandmom
Hudson 4 grain. Worth the price.
ForcedAppDownload
Blantons, Bakers, Bookers, Basil Hayden's, Bulleit Rye or 10 year....just now realizing all my favorite bourbons start with a B.
GeodudeUsedHarden
Bulleit is the troof!
pissant
Eagle rare 10yr. Chame ganger.
Snuffalupagous
Also, try EH Taylor. It’s from the same distillery as Blanton’s, but better flavor in my opinion. Blanton’s is still a very good bourbon.
angrymoustacheseals
Yes, yes, gawd yes....
CaptainEgregious
Basil Hayden is my favorite. Bookers 126 proof is tasty but man it sure does burn.
WhatAboutBobJr
Lagavulin 16. Neat. My favorite.
sandypancakes
Haven't tried a 16 but the 8 was pretty special
IsThatA380InMyPocketOrAmIHappyToSeeYou
As far as Irish whiskey goes, I highly recommend Barr an Uisce 1803.
chocolatehaze
Like licking a campfire, the best !
EnergyFiend
My absolute favorite as well, long before I knew of Ron Swanson. Although Finlaggan from Trader Joe's is nearly as good, and $18 not $90!
revengefrank
Found Ron Swanson's Imgur account.
KEN2K
+1 for Lagavulin16, but gotta go with Glenlevit 18, neat
whiskyinajar
One of my faves
nutdough
Got a bottle on a visit to Islay. Top class.
TehStoner
Tomatin 12 year. As good as McCallen, but was half the price until they ran out of it. Really wishing I had stocked up on a few bottles
youknowiamasexypenguin
Macallan 17 but only when I drink with my affluent friends... my meager means do not support this calibre of golden nectar...
Beelsebooob
For me, Bruichladdich or Coal Ila.
obligatoryguy
*Caol
WhatAboutBobJr
Ian actually manages the cellars for both Lagavulin and Caol. Love Bruchladich as well, but good luck finding them peated in the States.
obligatoryguy
In my country, unfortunately, none of these great whiskies are available easily. In fact, Caol is virtually impossible to source.
paultheoctopus
Glenlivet 15 Neat is my favorite but Lagavulin 16 is a close second.
dangitimgood
Science says to drink it on the rocks
Beelsebooob
No - science says to drink it however the fuck you enjoy drinking it.
Areawoman84
Scientists in Scotland say add a few drops of water. Ice waters it down way too much
TehStoner
Yep. A bit of water dripped in with a straw will help the flavors bloom. A scotch sipped slowly with ice cubes becomes water and scotch
Meowsma
Science can suck it, then.
SirNotAppearingingInThisFilm
I wish I could give you more upvotes my friend.
mynewestusername
Have you tried Ardbeg? They are good and smokey too. Laphroaig is a bit much, but I drink it sometimes. Dalwhinnie and Oban might be my fave
mynewestusername
A'Bundah is pretty great too, and what I've been drinking lately. Lagavulin is overpriced here for some reason. ~$120 USD.
TehStoner
Laphroaig 12 year is my goto peat monster. I taste the smell that's on my clothes after a night of sitting around a camp fire. I love that.
Zer0th
You should try the Lore from Lahproaig.
TheEternalTacocaT
Ardbeg 10 seriously tastes like it's much older than it is. A fantastic whisky at a good price. My favorite.
KeepYourDickInAVice
They're both nice but I'm the other way around. Laphroaig is little less harsh IMO. Bowmore has been my favourite Islay tipple so far.
imRonBurgundy26
Talisker storm...but all those too
FedeliskSkielskPardascoumbBaBarnd
Oban is my jam
ImMuddy
Macallan 18 for me. You people will hate me for this but I splash it with fresh orange juice. Out of this world.
IApproveOfTits
Thumbs up for Macallan! Pure concern for the oj.
TehStoner
You do you, but that shit cost over 200 a bottle. If I served that to you from my stash, I would rather pour it down the drain than sully it
KEN2K
toxcrusadr
Visigoth! Barbarian! Hun! Oh wait sorry you can have it however you want, you primitive.
ImMuddy
Acidity and Macallan create a fantastic drink.
TehStoner
I'm sure you could find a more neutral acidic component that would adjust the flavor the way you like it and not drown out the complexity.
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Glenfiddich 14, neat.
BlueColdIceSugar
No offence, but really? Glenfiddich always just seems to disappoint me. But I guess that's what opinions are for haha
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Really? I mean, I'm a novice, but Glenfiddich was one of the better single malts I've had
KreatorX1
I love the 18 year old. It just tastes like roasted apples and caramel. It's so smooth. I'll probably go for the Old Pulteney next!
KEN2K
Never had 14, How does that compare to Glenfiddich 15?
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
I actually prefer it over the 15. Couldn't tell you why, haven't had the 14 recently enough to compare. No one around be carries it.
obligatoryguy
Had the 18 and Singleton 15 over Christmas. Both excellent drams.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Really? I mean, I'm a novice, but Glenfiddich was one of the better single malts I've had
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be mean but compared to a lot of other stuff yeah, it’s not very good at all. But it depends on your taste. 1/2
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
2/2 try Glenmorangie Lastanta 12 year if you want a good highland. I am also very partial to Port Charlotte from Bruichladdich for the $.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
The best part about being a novice is buying tons of scotch and sampling!!
