If you like whiskey already then you're on the right track. A path to loving scotch begins as such:

Go to store
Buy some cheapish scotch (Dewars white label, johnny walker red, crawfords)
Mix it with cola
???????
Profit

Umaro

Oh I had one of these last night too.



Damn damn damn. Dark as the devil's colon. I want more.

Jordanthehutt

Also once you get past stage one, then you can go one to buy some single malt scotch and drink it neat like a man.

Shazkar Shadowstorm

yeah i don't even drink whiskey, i need to drink more hard liquor in my life

if you had to buy one bottle what would you buy, that isnt too expensive

speaking of dark beer, at this cask ale festival thing i had this thing that was Brooklyn Brewery's Black Ops
and it was preposterous and amazing and black as the night

it's aged in bourbon barrels!

Dog

scotch? What, am I wearing a suit now too?

Jordanthehutt

Well I am, and I would certainly feel silly if everyone else wasn't.

If you want to get acclimated to whisky in general go for any sort of canadian whisky. Canadian Club or Seagrams runs around 15$ for a fifth, and I enjoy it mixing wise. Or for super cheap go for canadian mist.

What, no love for the Rum?

For a regular night, it has to be the Jerry.

you know i've let like four ladies that don't know alcohol try guinness and they all liked it

surprising!

Not really surprising. Guinness has a chocolate taste to it, which appeals to a lot of ladies.
It's also thick and rich enough and goes well with steaks and ribs and such that gentlemen enjoy it also.

Basically, it's the perfect beer if you're not a pissant little kid.

this i like, i like a lot

Shazkar Shadowstorm

i have a sailor jerry lighter that i got for free somewhere, i should refill the stuff in it

even though i dont smoke

Sailor Jerry's is my favorite cheap rum. It is great for taking swigs out of and eventually ruining the upholstery on my leather chair.

Grey Ghost

You want to know what is a horrible cheap Scotch

Scoresby

Found that out the hard way

Yeah, Captain Morgan gets all of the exposure but Sailor Jerry is where it is at.

Dead Legend

all the say jay love in here is doing me good

Loathing

The stuff is fantastic to mix with, I've had Captain's and it tastes Meh compared to Jerry which is supposed to be 'cheap' on it's own anyways. It's like $28 Canadian here so not a bad go at all.

Dead Legend

i've seen it go anywhere from 20 - 30 down here

20 at most places, 30 at the retarded places

i enjoy a dry martini every now and again

Good man

Grey Ghost

A couple shots of bourbon should help me sleep just fine, right?

SoaL

hard alcohol makes me feel terrible

like the shot tastes pretty bad and then I swallow it and it tastes worse and then my stomach feels terrible for the next 10 minutes

I can drink anything else like what but one shot and I feel all gross

Grey Ghost

I don't usually do shots but we've got this Wild Turkey American Honey stuff and it shoots pretty easy

Faricazy

good whiskey is tasty as fuck

SoaL

even mixed drinks its like, I better not taste any of the alcohol or I am outta there

(brisk lemonade + cheap whiskey is really nice)

Faricazy

speaking of which

the cheapest Suntory blend

Kakubin



is actually pretty tasty! it's REALLY cheap, i paid 400yen for the pocket bottle for traveling to the north and a 700ml bottle costs about 1000yen.

Grey Ghost

Goddamn

I haven't eaten in 8 hours, these two shots hit my 130 pound self harder than I planned

Fake edit while I wait for the post timer: I recently discovered Jameson and I actually really liked it
Someone bought me a shot of it on my birthday and it went down so easy

Real edit: for relaxing times... make it Suntory time

Lost Salient

I got some Suntory whiskey while I was in the Japan.



Because what the fuck is this at the 7/11? Whiskey in cans? How can that go wrong?

My intolerance for rum, on the other hand, is legendary. Legendary like mesh trash cans and scaled fences and broken apartment windows.

Faricazy

they sell fucking highballs in a can

BEHOLD

Volucrisus Aedrius

I would drink whisky out of a can.

I would drink it every damn day.

The Black Hunter

I can't get any imperial beers down here

I miss it so

And if you were in Japan, you could. Like, in the streets, outside the marts, if you wanted to.

Although I don't guess they call them marts in Japan? Where is Houk when you need him to answer a question about Japantimes?

Volucrisus Aedrius

I can't remember what the Japanese call their little marts.

I took several years of their moon-language and I can barely recall any of it now.

Grey Ghost

Martu, or something

Who the hell knows

Laphraoig is some damn good shit

Laphraoig tastes like a peat bog died in your mouth, which is ok sometimes but it's definitely not my go-to scotch

Volucrisus Aedrius

Lagavulin is my scotch of choice when I want something strong and smokey, Dalwhinnie for the lighter side of things. Oban is pretty dandy, too.

For el cheapo its all about Johnny Red

Usagi

Dalwhinnie is one of my favorites

Volyu, you have excellent taste

Volucrisus Aedrius

I am totally bringing some scotch the next time I see you, Usagi.

Which reminds me, I have about an inch and a half of Dalwhinnie in the cupboard, I should take care of that tonight. I've been on a cognac kick of late (Remy Martin) but all this talk of scotch has me in the mood for something a bit pictish (or maybe thats the lack of sleep).

they call them 'conbini', which is just short for convenience store

also, whenever you teach a japanese person that one of 'their' words actually comes from english or whatever other language, it absolutely blows their mind

like most japanese people dont have a friggin clue that 'conbini' is short for anything. hell, the other day a student called me 'fashionable' and i was like 'oh how do you know an english word like that?' and she was like 'what, that's english?!'

these people, i swear

Volucrisus Aedrius

Its enough to drive a man to chug whisky out of a can in broad daylight at 9am on a thursday, I'd warrant.
