T.Joe's "Kentucky Bourbon" probably lacks any sort of pedigree (I'm assuming but won't be arsed to check: whiskey snobs being literally worse than wine snobs, almost to the level of audiophiles) but it's q.deece.

Dunno, it tastes like bourbon and it makes the screaming of the void somewhat quieter for a short period of time?

had a concord dessert wine my dad made two years ago and it is like a tasty jam. set aside the rest of the bottle for tomorrow, but my guess is its gonna be beers and pizza because neither of us want to make dinner by the end of the week

qirex posted:I clicked on a bourbon review YouTube out of curiosity and it was hilarious, just tryhard beard dudes saying flavor words out loud all You know, people rightly so dunk on whiskey snobs gatekeeping regular drinkers out of their hobby, but the opposite can be true too. I mean, who on earth thought that whisky could have _flavors_ and _aromas_, right? And that you would have to try and use _words_ to describe them. Crazy stuff. Northing worse imo than someone who acts like it's stupid to try to understand and enjoy a drink on a little deeper level. It's fine if you don't enjoy whiskey that way but don't dunk on people who do. The last thing we need is for someone to feel like it's somehow uncool or snobby to actually smell and taste their whiskey, and thereby dissuading them from deepening their enjoyment. Please don't do that.

anyway: sours good, but not all sours are good. I've had some pretty meh ones over the years. but yeah if you wanna start with the OGs, hit up duchess de bourgogne or rodenbach grand cru

I’ve gotten to a point where if there are flavor notes on a label it gives me a good idea if I’ll like the whiskey or not couldn’t even begin to try to identify those flavors myself though

i'm not a big scotch drinker because i don't like peat very much, so that limits my choices of scotch. i like it once in a while. and i do like things aged in rum casks. but i mostly drink bourbon or rye

There's loads of scotch's that aren't peaty, or only very lightly peated. I'd suggest looking at something like Glengoyne, or a speyside like Aberlour or Glenlivet or something.

i've had most of the big name scotches as individual pours at bars, but when it comes time to buy bottles lately i always end up with bourbon. i was about to make an argument like, good scotch is so expensive, etc. but i checked at total wine and a bottle of glenlivet 12 is $27.49!

so speaking of belgian sours, had a liefmans goudenband tonight that is a damned fine beer. don't drink it too cold though, right out of the fridge is no good, let it warm up a bit. it's somehow everything at a once, sweet sour bitter dry.

I like these for measuring, kicks the poo poo out of a jigger plus metric, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc. in fact this is probably the kitchen thing I use the most of all
