Scotch bros.
 

Anyone else livid about Macallan's decision to nix all age statement whiskies besides 18 in favor of their new "1824" line that only differentiates by color? I'm more than halfway through my Mac 15 Fine Oak and going to be super depressed when my only options are sherry cask aged whiskys with no guidance on age whatsoever.

Marketing is a bitch.

Mac 12 got the axe too. That's my daily!

Fuckers.

Lol. I have never had emotions that you have had.

I'm drinking Jack Daniels straight from the bottle?

My nigga.

one day you will be old.

and then you will take an arrow to the knee.

eh

crown royal on display like a true canadian

shameful

bar currently houses

laphroaig 10
mac 12 (my go-to daily highland)
mac 15
bowmore legend (go-to daily islay due to price/taste ratio)
balvenie 15 single barrel
johnnie blue (got it as a gift - still not bad for a blend)
crown royal reserve (also a gift, not a fan)

prior recently departed entries

glenlivet 12
glenfiddich 15

and a very special irish.. midleton very rare. you have not had irish until you've had that delicious SOB.

yo send me that royal reserve since u don't like it

lol if it didnt have to go international i would

have you seen the ridiculous purple velvet bag this comes in

oh, since you're canadian, this is the "premium" reserve up there. the canadian reserve is a lower tier.

lmao. i have the purple bag hanging on display aswell.. aaahahaha

keeps it gully

I live in America and am not rich, so you will now send me the aforementioned bottle.

Thank you kindly.

fine, he can have it. but i get partial credit


go on aim el cake

can you receive liquor in WI? or wherever you live now? a lot of states are dicks about that, especially opened bottles.

i drink booze sometimes

That's a good question. I didn't even know that was a thing.

The idea of sending liquor away is foreign to me.

North Dakota Crew.

"Therefore, when direct shipping alcohol to North Dakota, ... N.D.C.C. section 5-01-16.3 penalties apply for unlicensed persons shipping alcohol"

answer: illegal.

I'm not even sure if you had to Google that at this point.

https://www.google.com/search?q=ND+l...rson+to+person

took a couple tries, kept getting wholesaler laws.

Good. It would be a bit much if you knew North Dakota codes by heart.

Laph is way too peaty for me.

I'd rather glenlivet 12 as a daily (just me, not a huge macallen fan).
How is the balvenie 15? Balvenie 12 is my new favorite (affordable) 12.

i love some peat but not daily. laph is god tier as is lagavulin. bowmore is good for a daily peat monster and like i said.. supper affordable.

the balvenie 15 is fan-fucking-tastic. i try not to sneak into it too often but probably will start lest my mac stores get low since they can't be replaced.

i like Machiavelli rest in peace tupac west side till i die (15)

(affordable)

what in the fuck. these prices are retarded. do you not get stupid drunk off this stuff? do you guys pay $80 a bottle to approach 'buzzed' and to taste glorified carpet cleaner?

diode has that amount of money white people get where they dont know what to do with it so they buy overpriced booze and pretend its smooth and life size superman cardboard cutouts

not fucked with that canadian shit, but Powers irish whiskey (15) is my thing. Hard/often expensive to come by here in England but @Orc and @Witty Wonka will know about that

got a couple bottles of Grants/Glenfidditch about 3/4s and 1/2 full at home in the drinks cabinet

dark rums more my thing though

i only really have whiskey if friends are coming back to ours after a night out

Can confirm Powers is legit, I might have a couple tonight now that you've mentioned it.

THANKS LARS.

2 fingers and you'll be at that perfect place between buzzed and drunk. scotch is generally 80-90 proof, bud. and if you think it tastes like carpet cleaner you are confusing scotch with vodka.

two of my dailies listed here are ~40/bottle. the expensive ones get consumed on special occasions and usually last months if not more. stop.

well I went to NH on a liquor run and forwent my usual añejo for a 10 year Glensomething

Ice or no ice

no ice ever.

a drop of (preferrably distilled) water if you prefer to open it up a little. you'll probably want to with a 10yr.

Oh nvm it's a 12. But word. I'll try it

EDIT: this shit doesn't burn at all. what's good am I drinking it wrong?

I use a splash of water in any bourbon or Scotch, particularly those with higher proofs.

Ice should only be touched if you're talking a sub-Makers Mark bourbon or a blended Scotch. And if you're drinking blended Scotch, you might as well just go with Irish whiskey.

How about just drink whatever gets you the most fucked up in the shortest possible time?

Dudes talking about taste and shit wtf who drinks alcohol for the taste?

i drink wine for taste
i drink scotch for taste
i drink beer for taste

if i'm just out to get hammered that's another thing altogether. some people enjoy the taste of alcohol-focused beverages. crazy, right?

Gotta go with witty on this one.

'This is a fine year, indeed! A hint of oak and marmalade!'

Brb chugging whiskey and talking shit to people online because that's how god intended it

I can see the pluses and minuses of both tbh. I don't always drink to get hammered

you'll grow up one day, cake.

or won't.

don't rush to it for sure.

Come around my parts diode....I don't know a single person who drinks anything for the taste...adult or otherwise.

My dad drinks raw vodka every day and he hates vodka lol

Y?

I don't understand.

Diode how do you feel about the upcoming season? Hayes has the only legit chance of cracking NYR for 40+ games out of the newbies, he's better than JT Miller. All the other dudes like nig nog duclair, they're 2-3 yrs out IMO. Hayes is a 1st rounder and has a man body. Haggerty sniped one at Traverse City vs Dallas or Carolina I think but he's undrafted out of college and when has one of those worked for NYR even when said college player WAS drafted? Amonte? Kreider maybe? Only hayes will make it gawd.

BTW for most men I would assume it's Jack Daniels all day, with some disgusting shit on hand for females like smirnoff and alize.
