jack is kind of expensive for what it is imo, Evan Williams, George dickel, Seagrams 7, jim beam etc all taste about the same and are cheaper. if I'm drinking whiskey on the rocks I'll usually do makers or crown over jack any day

Poopernickel posted:if you live in america the only correct spelling is whiskey, tia this is correct, but regardless it is irrelevant how you spell it because the bartender cannot hear the difference when you ask for a whiskey vs a whisky. if you want scotch then say scotch. if you want bourbon then say bourbon. but in america, if you ask for whiskey it is unlikely you will get scotch

qhat posted:i'm not really a whisky drinker but want to drink good whisky. what are some good whiskies for a whisky philistine to drink? there is a whisky thread in goons with spoons that has recommendations for different types at different price levels that sees some activity these days then, move to having a low/mid-range version of the spirit with some water (no more than 2:1 whiskey/water) to approximate the concentration you like. toss in a little simple syrup at first if you must. ice is optional at first but recommended. over time, use less and less water into just using ice then eventually you can drink it neat, even in small (<1.5 oz) quantities once you can drink something low/mid-range neat, you will find more expensive stuff to be worthwhile. also around the nearly undiluted/neat level of appreciation, you can then expand into scotch if you want Kenny Logins fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Jul 27, 2017 |
