Do you like peat, /wg/?
If so, from what region?
Do you prefer a light, medium or heavy level of peat?

I don't know who is worse -- whiskey fags or wine fags. What kind of loser do you have to be to be pretentious about alcohol? It's alcohol! You drink it and get fucked up, who cares how old the liquid is. You want something that tastes nice? Then get a cocktail.

I like peat and would say Islay is clearly king but to be fair the 2 best peated whiskys I’ve had would be considered the “Island” region in Ledaig and Talisker. I tend to break out the Laphroiag / Ardbeg type heavy stuff in the summer when I need a break from the more syrupy sweet wine finish / sherry bombs

went to the back of the cabinet for this one. still taped up from 2023 house bombing. starts off warm and spicy, vanilla, clove, black pepper, banana bread, nutmeg, charred oak, then into the super sour dill hamburger pickles, green apple skin and eucalyptus oil. too hot for 90 proof.

I got about 100 dollars to get a whiskey for a friend as a gift for a gift exchange later this month. I know nothing about whiskey but I got his wife to tell me what he likes. She said he got into whiskey this year but likes the Laphraoig 10 and Powers three swallow so far. I asked if he likes bourbon but she said he hasn't gotten too many, but has a Wild Turkey 101 and something Watershed. I looked it up and there is also Rye, Canadian, and Japanese. So if you guys had 100 bucks, what would you get?

I'm a bit of a whiskey newb. But when people say they taste "Vanilla, red fruit, etc" notes do they actually taste those or is it them trying to put into words how it tastes without saying it tastes like alcohol? I'm just curious because I don't believe they actually put vanilla, red fruit, or anything else in the whiskey when making it, right?

I had always liked the look of these bottles (plus, what else is made in Wyoming?) so I picked this up on Friday night. It's great, I liked the bold wheatedness. I always wanted to know what a wheated bourbon tastes like

Anon10/13/25, 21:42No.21655566
Drank this over the weekend and it was very good, does need to be 5 dollars cheaper to compete with everything else in the 90 proof mid-shelf range though.

I like Port Charlotte. It's the right amount of peat and a good flavor. I don't really drink anymore though, but if I had to drink this is what I'd prefer.

Why are brits eternally btfo by coffee drinkers?
As an American, I prefer diner coffee and a cigarette to tea and a biscuit any day. Same goes with bourbon vs scotch. For the most part, your preferred flavors are going to be regionally influenced. Get over it.

Oddly enough I much preferred the springbank 10 to the 15. I’m not sure what happened there it was almost like those extra 5 years just dulled the flavors. Still gotta see how that 12 cs compares

Drinking Glenmorangie 18 right now, I opened the bottle over a year ago and I've noticed it's been steadily getting better. The flavors have intensified and come into focus somehow, when it was freshly opened they were a lot more faint and difficult to pick out.I'd say it was mid brand new but now it's a great scotch.

Analyzing flavors is fine.
Taking an occasional sniff and thinking "that smells nice" is fine.
But if you're literally sitting there sniffing it over and over and deeply analyzing the scent, holy shit you are a grade-A gay homosexual faggot, what the fuck.
