When I first started drinking spirits I drank Gran Gala, which is a sort of knockoff Grand Marnier. Add a bit of orange zest to balance the extreme sweetness and it's quite good, and the sugar gradually turning your mouth into a swampy slimepit makes a good signal for when you should stop.

Atlas Hugged posted:Yamazaki 12 was my go-to affordable whiskey for a long rear end time because it tasted amazing and it was super cheap, like $20 or less. Then the Chinese market discovered it and I have seen bottles going for $400 at supermarkets, I poo poo you not. The version on shelves now is insanely expensive and no longer even has an age listed. It will be years before supply can meet demand again. The one time I had Japanese whiskey, I had Iwai 45 and hated it. Expensive and it tasted like watered-down-cheap bourbon, but smoother. Insipid. The markup on Japanese whiskey is obscene. I am sure there any many much better ones but they're like $50 and up so gently caress it. If I'm spending that much money I might as well go whole hog and buy absinthe. Currently enjoying a Christian Brothers Sacred Bond brandy. $25 and it's aged for four years in bourbon barrels so it tastes like both cognac and bourbon at the same time. Absolutely delicious for the price point. Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Jan 6, 2022 |
