Ill be getting on the Chivas domani niggas. But I want to try single malt

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Buck Fuddy]

Great taste, not terribly expensive. Probably the nicest one I've had the last few months.

 

[Enron]

The recommendations I received were Glenfiddich 12yo and McAllan(sp?). Glenlivet is nice too.

Macallan.

Today I travel which means automatically that I buy a single malt from the airport. Let's see what I will be treated with, I usualyl get inspired there.

blended doesn't mean lower quality than single malt.

 

[Enron]

He knows this. It's a matter of preference than anything.

 

[Nzoric]

alright, it's just something i learned recently ( i've only been drinking whiskey for about a year )

I'd like to throw it against a wall and shrug. $25,000 for a bottle of drink, fuck off.

Either that or dip my balls in it, pour it back into bottle and see if the next mother fucker can make out what type of berries he's tasting.

People who buy that buy it for the sake of spending $25,000 and because they can afford to waste $25,000 on a bottle of whiskey that will sit in one of their cupboards. I doubt there's much difference between that and a really good $150 (and probably less) bottle.

there is, rest assured. the point is that no drink, no matter how good it is, is worth 25k for 0.7l. it's undoubtedly fantastic, but not for the price of a car.

I disagree..what if it's some kind of magic drink that makes you shit money for the rest of your life (millions of $$$ or more). but yes, a bottle of whiskey without magic powers is clearly not worth $25k. You can buy a car and go on a holiday with that much cash.

Me and a few friends shared a bottle of Berry's Own Selection (1987, Bownore) and a Liquid Sun (12 year, Bowmore) last night. I was invited to a private Whiskey tasting, was nice.

Not a fan of Berry's, a bit chemical in the taste. The Liquid Sun was real nice though, almost like a white wine in colour. Rounded off the night with some Laproaig and, hold your horses, a Statesman

Actually the Statesman isn't as bad as its reputation. Sure it's a real cheap blended but better than I thought (first time I tried it).

In whiskey as in wine, the fool who knows no difference between quality and price buys the most expensive bottle he can find with a good story to try to impress his friends.

Wish I had gotten that instead of the 12yo from Dubai.

Had the Octomore yesterday, it's insane:

Only 600 bottles available in the country, we got one. Shame most of them probably won't be opened.

Also had the Bowmore Wine Cask 16 year:

Bit of a wine casket theme tasting
