So I'm turning 21 today /b/ and I had a question. I'm wanting to buy a bottle just for myself but something really good. I'd only use it for special occasions but I'd be the only one drinking from it, sort of a way to reflect on where I've been and where I'm wanting to go in life. So I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on some good liquors you've had in the past. Thanks.
tldr: What is some good liquor you've drank in the past, it can be any type (bourbon, whisky, whiskey, vodka, tequila etc.

Not OP but I get where he's coming from though, say you accomplish something big in life that you've been trying to do for a while. You're telling me you ain't gonna celebrate a little? Nigga even said he wasn't gonna be drinking it all the time just for special occasions.
Are you implying that you will be drinking from the bottle? Use a glass.
Buy something over 40 bucks... Something aged in wood. Whisky, Rum, Tequila, cognac... whatever. Just sip and savor it.
>>674560044
Christ, everyone here is retarded.
What's your price range OP? There's some good stuff you can find for $20-30 but we can get creative if you're willing to pay $100
>>674560044
If you want something nice that you are going to enjoy instead of getting tanked then but a nice bottle of whiskey, whether it be scotch or Irish.
Everclear, chase with water. 4 shots should do it.

>>674560044
Whiskey sound good? Yeah okay.
Herholdt Rye is pretty tasty and low priced
Jameson is another option, probably like $35, always a good decision
Four Roses Single Barrel Small Batch depending on where you live and what distributors have deals on, it'll be 50-80 but that shit is amazing to sip on alone.

Went to Portugal on vecation, with my family, a few years ealier. We was on a Tour at their destillery, and was allowed to taste some.
We bought 10 bottles, and 8 was drank before we left the country.
(5 red and 5white). - you can't compare the colors with regular whine.
Heck, even my mother liked it. :-S.
>>674561514
This guy gets it. Single barrel Four Roses is one of the best bourbons on the market, also its 100 proof so it will last longer.
>>674560044
Kaniche XO, OP.
Proper nice rum, finished on XO Cognac casks.
It's not even expensive. Just a really nice and mellow, yet complex and intense experience.
>>674560044
It literally depends on what kind of liquor you prefer. Go try some shit and ask again later once youve narrowed it down to vodka, tequilla, rum (and what kind), whiskey (bourbon, scotch), or some other kind.

get some fine scotch. There are a million choices. You can fine tune what you buy to your individual taste. I like Cragganmore, Glenlivet is a good starting point.
alternatively, get some real nice bourbon. Woodford Reserve is a good one.
if you are a homosexual, buy a bottle of expensive cognac. It's like whiskey but made from grapes for gays and black people.
>>674561247
It's fortified wine (generic) and Port (portuguese proper).
And yeah, that's nice too.
I just prefer rum.

>>674560044
OP you can't really appreciate good liquor at 21. You are just pissing away money if you buy anything that doesn't come in a handle. Liquor at 21 is great fun, partly because being drunk is fun, but also because being drunk with friends / females is fun. Recommend half gallon sizes of Bacardi, Captain Morgan, Jack, or Stoli. There are lots of fine liquor choices to appreciate, but how do you compare fine liquor without some volume of experience as a baseline?
>>674562938
Balwenies standard is good enough. It's a 12 if memory serves. Proper mellow highland malt.
>>674563383
But you have to drink em without delay tho
If you're really looking for something to celebrate with, I say get some Mama Juana

>>674562324
What are you black??
>>674563699
the only really passable blended scotches are the famous grouse and black grouse.
JW red, cutty sark, J and B, dewars, etc are all not very good.
It's all downhill from here OP.
>>674563699
No hate. Red is harsh, but drinkable, black is slightly less harsh.
None of them is feet up and enjoy life tier, though.
Just passable inexpensive blends. Grants is the cheapest actual single malt, and I'd never hate on that either.
>>674561953
Yeah I'm sure that's what it was. A typo. Faggot. Underage b detected. Stealing dad's alcohol detected. Never once read the label detected. Probably jacks off to Mila Kunis on the Jim Beam commercials detected.
>>674563653
There is definitely a smokiness to Dalwhinnie 15 though...
It is a great intro whisky.
Also you can help support Diageo, our beverage overlords

>>674563939
I would have to disagree on the famous grouse. Preference, you know. All the inexpensive (though not cheap) blends are ok.
Bushmills blended is also alright. No party in your mouth, but better than cheap shit.
>>674560385
It's creamay
>>674560044
Hard to go wrong with a decent single malt unless you want to spend stupid money. If you haven't got a palette for whiskey yet I'd suggest an Irish (which tend to be a bit smoother due to the triple distillation and air drying).
Either a Bushmills 16yr or jamesons gold reserve will set you back about £60 so guessing under $100. Or if you do fancy something a bit special go for the Middleton very rare or the 21yr old Bushmills.
Just my personal pref mind.
>>674564160
Well, yeah, there's enough of a hint to expand and support the experience, you're right.
Not like fucking laphroig, though.

You know?
>>674561242
Or if you fancy something that tastes slightly better you could also drink petrol...
Nothing screams I am retarded louder than drinking cheap bourbon.
If you're going for liquor go scotch, Irish or Japanese. Stay away from anything that hasn't been double distilled and hasn't used aged barrels. (American distillers always use new barrels which reduces depth of flavour because of some stupid law).

Johnny Walker Blue Label. Shit is expensive as fuck, which is why you'd wanna save it for a special occasion.
>>674564990
It might seem stupid. On the plus side, though, that means the barrels are readily available and all the rest of the world benefits from that.
I had this really, really nice limited edition single cask double wood, which had been on bourbon casks for ten, and then Barbados rum casks for another ten. Pure heaven inna glass. Was expensive, though.
>>674565334
This to be honest. For those 'once in a lifetime' moments I always have a glass of Blue Label to sip on.
>>674560044
Wild turkey
>>674565334
yeah, any high-end and generally good whisky or scotch is the way to go.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
/thread
>>674565744
Good point and I do enjoy a bottle of Innis and Gunn beer which has been bourbon aged.
Do you remember what it was called?
I don't know op. What do you want? For tequila, I like herradura anejo. For tequilas, go with an anejo at least. For scotch, someone mentioned dalwhinnie. Good choice. If you like scotch and you want something more intense, try an Islay like ardbeg. If you've got a hidden Fedora in the closet you can try a good absinthe. Hard to get good ones in most liquor stores, but Leopold brothers have a pretty damn good one. Tineye is a good Bourbon, yet pretty cheap (around 30 bucks here).
Anyway have fun. Hope you develop a taste for the good stuff
>>674565991
Uh expensive liquor shouldn't be burning like that lol. It is generally very smooth.
>>674565755
Way overpriced for the quality.
>>674566956
People use price as a metric for quality. If you make something above average, and sell it for a shitload above average, people will think it's something special. It has nothing to do with the inherent quality of the product.
>>674566956
Then suggest nigger
>>674566875
Depends on how you take it man.
Some scotches and whiskys are designed to be on the rocks, at which point drinking them straight actually makes them burn like one of Red's insults.I tend to like my whisky straight regardless of its design so it does sometimes burn more than the punishments I'll be receiving from Satan's devils for whacking my diddly too much.
>>674567401
Already did, see>>674566676
>>674567488
You talking about cask strength stuff? Even then I think it's much better to dilute it with a little water than cubes. Cold kills the flavor a bit man. Good for if you're forced to drink Jim beam but not so great for a 50 dollar bottle.
For whisky I'd recommend
>jack Daniels
>Jameson
>40 creek
>crown reserve
>makers mark
>>674567832
I don't agree, I think there are times when the cold helps the flavor. Or supposedly, anyways. They have those stones that you're supposed to put in your whisky when you want it on the rocks specifically so you don't dilute your spirits.
Again, I usually take my shit straight so I dunno what the hype's about really, but that's what I've heard and read. I know a number of people who are big on the whisky and scotch products.
>>674568199
eventually you might want to decide what type of whisky is really your deal. Do you like the peaty Scotch whiskeys, or the rye whiskeys from Kentucky, or are you a Canadian rye person, or is the Irish sort of medley deal more your grade.
>>674568339
I have seen those whiskey stones, they seem like nothing more than a novelty. Have an example of a whiskey 'supposed to be cold'? I'd be happy to do a taste test comparison.
>>674568601
my stepdad said some shit about it. I drink about eight times a year tbh so I don't pay enough attention, sorry.
Wish I did but I don't like to crossbuzz
>>674568923
I'll look in to it. I am highly dubious though
>>674568601
I use them, I prefer my Whiskey cold (personal pref), this way it keeps it cold but doesn't dilute it.

Oh gotcha. So it's not about certain whiskeys bring better cold, it's a personal preference thing. Thanks for clearing that up
>>674560044

thank me later.
>>674560044
Get some green spot whiskey while you can. You won't regret it.
>>674560044
buy some yellow Listerine it's cheaper and it's strong my nigga
Buy some pina colada. It tastes like heaven.
>>674569514
That's my take on it, it still tastes the same but this way it warms up in your mouth which I like.
Some of the distillers do say about certain whiskeys with ice, like I think they now do snow grouse which is a variant of famous grouse but to be honest I think it's just a marketting thing.
If I'm drinking a cheaper blended whiskey I'll normally get ice to mellow out the harsh flavour though.
>>674560044
Geht yourself some BenRiach 30 years, or some Glenfarclas 40 years. Though expensive they are worth it.
One word. Bourbon
Two words. Pappy VanWinkle
>>674560044
Avoid alcohol, it's highly addicting, and bad for your body. I'm currently going through withdrawals. It's no fun.
Something miner something. There were trumpets and trombones in the vignette, and the label was 30'ies-ish in style. But no, the actual name eludes me.
And yeah, Innis and Gunn. I prefer the rum cask finished one, though. Especially in the warm mid-summers nights. Something about the air that makes it just right.
>>674566396
It's a nice rum, true. Kaniche XO is better, though.
>>674568601
I use them for solera-style rum. And inexpensive blended whiskey. Never for the good stuff.
Honestly, buy an aged whiskey, minimum 12 years. Put it in a glass and add a couple of drops of water to open up the flavor. Swirl around a little bit to get some air into it and so it can breath. Sip and reflect on life.
>>674562741
I second the Woodford Reserve
Looking for special and VIP. Go with patron (tequila), one shot goes a long way. And its smooth as all hell
