Let's have a thread about the good ol' brown liquid. What whiskies do you guys enjoy and how far down the rabbit hole are you?

Ever since I got introduced to scotch with pic related ive spiraled down into the brinks of whisky and 2 years later ive found myself only buying expensive cask strength independently bottled juice over quantities outside of the occasional Weller or Wild Turkey.

Friendly reminder that nearly all whiskey is adultered through the addition of caramel, to produce a more appetizing coloration.

When I used to drink I prefered to drink Grant's (from the bottle) because the triangular shape of the bottle made it easier to hold on to when I was on the verge of passing out.

That's the cheap stuff.

Buy a quality bottled in bond whiskey, or a reputably aged scotch or irish, and you should be fine.

Any distillery that actually bothers to run a cooperage is unlikely to do much tampering.

I like my scotch too. Mild taste butof burns in the chest. Suntory was my favorite when in Nippon, but I also enjoy oak-aged tequila on occasion.

Shit like fireball or evan williams is only good for clearing out an infection. Whiskey is great to gargle when you have a throat infection.

Bought a bottle when it first came out, maybe a decade back.

Was good, but I didn't feel it was substantially better than a good example that was half the price.

If you can get Russell's Reserve 10 year, I think you're doing better bourbon-wise (or at least, not worse), but maybe not as fancy of a bottle.

Eyo Hitlerinos, what´s wrong with JW? Sure, it´s blended and Red Label is really just good for mixing and stuff, but as an entrance? Come on now, not everybody can afford some obscure 30 yo Oirish single malt from which there is only a single cask.

Gonna go over to Black Label soon, it´s supposed to be the superior version of the Red.

These are the most recent and memorable whiskeys I've had. Contradiction is pretty damn smooth and drinks nicely.

Eagle rare had the most bite of the lot, but was pretty good. Hard to find in stock though. Same with buffalo trace.

Can't speak for other states, but you are legally allowed to produce up to 500 gallons of moonshine per year in my own state as long as you don't distribute it with the intent to turn a profit (E.G. you can "sell" it for the cost of the materials to make it, but you can't sell it for a penny more).

If I remember right, the Russells are the master distillers for Wild Turkey. Would make sense that it's part of the Wild Turkey family of brands.

60 euros sounds like a lot. Stupid tariffs.

I think I pay about $25 US for a bottle (750mL), but substantially more for the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel.

I guess if you ever come this way travelling, head to a liquor store and pack some goodies for the trip back.

I implore you to consider the history Appalachia had with moonshine, especially North Georgia running liquor down to Atlanta. That specific route bore two of the three, the two shine runners, men that created NASCAR.

I bring this up to emphasize, it was a fucking sport to create moonshine, outrun the feds, then deliver it. It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that the still laws exist solely due to this, and have likely never been updated because everyone stopped caring.

Side note - Atlanta has been gentrifying greatly in the past decade, maybe it won't be so bad in the future.

Straight Bourbon can't have additives. All BiB bourbon is straight bourbon.

I believe, but am not certain, that Straight American Whisk(e)y is not allowed to have additives.

Blends are ok to have additives, but with the good stuff so affordable… why? Pure vodka (Platinum or Pinnacle) is way cheaper if you need a cheap drunk, and rotgut brown liquor isn't really worth it when you can get a pretty decent bottle for about the same price.

It can no longer be called a "straight" whiskey if they add coloring. As for Scotch, it's basically free game as far as I know.

Just grabbed a bottle (Evan Williams BIB/White Label).

At $18/L, yeah… I'm definitely down. I think that works out at like 55 cents a shot.

As for the tasting…. nothing life changing, just darn fine bourbon at a good price. Smells like bourbon, tastes like bourbon, finishes a bit sweet (nothing wrong with that).
