What kind of whiskey? Girly JD?Originally posted by Naked Gents Rut View PostWhat's your winter poison?
Whiskey. I don't drink schnapps of any kind because I don't have a vagina.

Been drinking Maker's lately, but I used to drink Crown Royal the most. Can't wait to have money again so I can afford some good scotch.

Nothing snobbish about hating Jack. That's just good taste.Comment

Well I'm a Jameson's man myself when I'm feeling too cheap for scotch, but I've never understood all the Jack hating I've encountered over the years.
Part of me wonders if it's just the unfortunate connotation that comes with so many hicks happening to drink it, but you can't blame the drinkee for the drinker. That's like suddenly hating on a band that's been good for a long time just because some of its later songs happened to accidentally be made lame by TRL hype for no fault of its own.Comment

The problem is JD is just a weird whisky. It's way too sweet for a whisky.
If you want a sweeter drink, go all the way to a true bourbon like Maker's.
I think it's the charcoal that ****s it up.
The first time I had JD was actually at a TGI Friday's at the Newark Airport, and I actually ended up just asking for a club soda.

The only drink girlier than JD is schnapps.Last edited by Naked Gents Rut; January 9, 2009, 00:48.Comment

Well, I'm not going to spend too long defending something I don't drink except when it's free, but as far as I recall it was just your basic charred-oak tinge, almost indistinguishable from bourbons like Jim Beam (even though JD's charcoal filtration makes it technically not a "bourbon"). Even Wild Turkey would taste damned near the same if it weren't a higher proof. Or do you just hate on bourbons generally? If so, them's fighting words.
And as much as you like to call JD "candy" - even though it has no added sweeteners, and is the standard 80 proof required of all hard liquors in many U.S. states - it's harsh as turpentine when compared to the long, cool glass of water that is any Canadian whisky of the same proof (Club, BV, Windsor, you name it). So if you really think JD's "sweet," I can only conclude that you almost exclusively drink scotch (which seems to be true from other threads) and/or unusually high-proof bourbons/ryes, which really are apples and oranges when JD's bound by the 80-proof cap. The original process used to hit around 90 before the laws changed, so I suppose it was once better, but that's state legislatures' fault, not the booze. Everything as low as 80 proof (save perhaps gin) seems comparatively "sweet" to me after getting used to 86-110 proof scotch or 101 Wild Turkey, but that's just the proof, not JD in particular.Last edited by Darius871; January 9, 2009, 01:02.Comment

You're correct that I'm not the biggest fan of either Canadian/Rye Whiskey nor Bourbon. I find they're all a bit too sweet.
I like a stronger bite out of the drinks."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Well in that case we're in agreement, but my point is that it's the 80-proof class in general that's too sweet for our tastes, not JD in particular. I'm just glad I'm not in one of the benighted jurisdictions where everything is 80-proof...Originally posted by Asher View Post

I only recognize 6, though the ones in back are hard to see.Originally posted by Asher View Post
Anyway, after this whole spiel about "bite" you come and admit to drinking Crown Royal? As tasty as it may be, and as comfy of a speedo the bag may make, CR's still the same long, cool drink of water from Canadia I was talking about. Those Walkers back there are 40 proofs too, but at least the peat mans them up a ways over others.
Now I know Balvenie & Dalwhinnie are at 86 and IIRC Glenmorangie hits 100, so no wonder any 80 tastes sweet to you by comparison.
Everything's relative.
*pours some Balvenie, though only a pathetic 10-year reserve
