Oy Oy Let's Have a Whiskey Thread

Whiskey.
Whisky (Scottish English) or whiskey (Hiberno-English) is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). Whisky is aged in wooden casks, made generally of white oak, except that in the United States corn whiskey need not be aged.

It's good stuff, and there's so much variety.

You've got bourbon:

rye:

Even the Japanese make whiskey!

I'm currently drinking this stuff:

Bulleit_Rye_Bottle-300x385.jpg

I love rye whiskey, and the Bulleit stuff is made with 95% rye. It's very strong and sharp; the aftertaste is slightly fruity, but in a... masculine way, I suppose. I can definitely taste the cherry the tasting guides talk about.

But that's me. What's your whiskey?

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

    Ouch, rye.

    Jameson is my weapon of choice for great liver destruction.

    What I can well and truly vouch for is the Yamazaki. It's delicious. Like a scotch with more humming, if that makes any sense.

    I've always stuck with maker's mark. Never been a big whiskey person, but I haven't let that stop me yet.

    My current whiskey of choice is a bourbon, specifically this one:

    i am a makers mark ambassador

    for a good whiskey that also falls under cheap, you can't go wrong with evan williams

    jack daniels, jim beaM, wild turkey are all great stand-by's for your well i'm gonna get drunk tonight might as well not make it bellows or kentucky deluxe.

    buffalo trace is pretty good i had a bottle of that. i enjoy a nice jameson on ice.

    can't remember the scotch that i bought for my dad but he drank it up pretty quick and then when i told him what it cost he said he would've savored it a little more if he'd known the price

    I prefer bourbon

    I want to get into scotch but I don't have the taste for it. People talk about peaty and smoky flavors and things like that, and I just can't detect any of it.

  • WrenWren ninja_bird Registered User regular
    on cheap quadruple nights I just get a plastic jug of whiskey full of icecubes. I don't care what kind they put in there

  • KelbaenorKelbaenor Registered User regular
    I love me some bourbon. Saw this in my local store and snatched it up because any place I tried to order it from said it would take a year to get. It is manna from heaven, I just wish the Pappy Van Winkle distillery made more of it.

    Recently discovered there's a whiskey shop with a remarkably broad selection quite near my house. We're planning on spending some very long afternoons in there.

    Apparently that reference is far more dated than I thought...

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular
    well i assumed you would be talking about captain morgan

    and that was a brilliant marketing campaign

    but i don't understand the relevance of signing up to be a captain. can you do that?

    besides, i sail with jerry

  • LTMLTM Bikes and BeardsRegistered User regular
    I think it was a youtube contest, where you submitted what your Captain name would be in a short mock commercial.

    Like I said, apparently it happened long enough ago that I should be ashamed to even bringing it up as though it was a current event...

  • TefTef Registered User regular
    I'm primarily a bourbon guy, but I've started making efforts to get over my dislike of scotch. I used to drink a fair bit of scotch but it was always cheap shit and so for quite a while now I cringe when drinking it. I can drink ok scotch with a mixer, so I'm happy
