Whiskey, Bourbon, Scotch

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Real men down kegs of absinthe and Polish vodka straight from the barrel.

Ugh, I'll be a fake man, thanks.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Only the French could concoct a liquor as rat-like and putrid as absinthe. I'll admit, it looks cool though.

 

[Einherjar86]

I've tried absinthe before. I'm not sure if there are different kinds that taste differently, but the absinthe I tried tasted like licorice - not as strong as Jäger, but still noticeably licorice-y. Not my thing.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Due to the ingredients, there's nearly always something of a licorice quality to it. But, if you're in search of something that'll get you blitzed faster than even tequila...

 

[Einherjar86]

That is true. Vile stuff.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

About 190 proof or something like that, yeah.

Been drinking on some Larceny and mostly done with the Laphroaig. Still haven't found a Bourbon I really enjoy yet.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I still have almost 1/2 a large bottle of Larceny from the wedding reception. drank some lastnight Buffalo Trace left too

 

[Baroque]

That is true. Vile stuff.

Served the old fashioned way with sugar and water it's not bad. I'd recommend a chaser though depending on how much water. Taking shots of absinthe is a bad idea

 

[Einherjar86]

I've seen people drink it that way in the movies (of course). Have to give it a shot sometime.

Has anyone here ever tried Jeppson's Malort? That's some gross shit.

[Krigloch the Furious]

Nice. A buddy of mine gave me this..

 

[viewerfromnihil]

The 12 year is solid, so I bet that's great.

And for the record, nothing beats a night of good absinthe. Trouble is, it's hard to find good absinthe outside of bars designated for it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i have a 20+ year old unopened bottle of Chivas 18 stashed somewhere.

 

[TageRyche]

Did anyone see this news about a world record auction price for bottle of whisky?

I just realized that bourbon on the rocks is my thing. I had Knob Creek and Bulleit tonight on the rocks, and for me it's way more enjoyable than neat. I appreciate good whiskey cocktails as well, but if i'm going plain gimme them rocks!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

drink them enough and you'll definitely go back to neat. I personally dont like watering down my whiskey. I never liked it on the rocks but sometimes i would add like a drop or two of water, but i dont even do that anymore.
