Hard Liqour

[FinitoElDinamita]

Im a 100% beer and wine guy but I want to start drinking some hard liqour.. Enlighten me..

Whiskey, Scotch, Brandy, Congnac etc.. what are the difference?? They all taste the same to me..

I drink Hennesy and Jhonny Blue occasionally but I really can't taste the difference ..

Why is Whiskey considered as a man's drink and what can I drink that wont give me a headache the next day? something expensive and clean..

Are you drinking the liquor with mixers? I don't know how you could possibly not taste the difference between Johnny Walker (a blended scotch) and Henessy (a brandy) if you are drinking them neat or on the rocks. If you don't want the headache then go with a highly distilled vodka with no mixers.

Personally I'm a big bourbon snob. I love the stuff and nothing but ice goes with my bourbon. That being said you don't just wake up one day and start really enjoying top shelf liquor w/no mixers. If you are interested in trying some good bourbons that won't break the bank I'd go with Weller (sweeter than most bourbons), Maker's Mark (good all around) or 1792 Ridgemont Reserve (lots of body). Lots of people rave about Bookers, Bakers and Pappy Van Winkles. I've tried them all and while they are good I just don't think they are worth that much more money.

Scotch is a type of whiskey, and cognac is a type of brandy. As was said if you can't tell them(whiskey and brandy) apart there is something wrong with your taste buds. Whiskey is more like wine than most hard liquors, because it will age in the barrel and has a more complicated fermenting process, so there's more of a taste for it. I don't have it so much myself. Single malts mean its the same batch of grain in the same barrel usually aged longer, as opposed to cheap mixed whiskeys which is a big shitmix. For the hangover thing VC is right as well, something like Grey goose or Belvedere chilled with just a splash of something is nice and you don't feel it so much.

If you want to drink whiskey neat bourbon has a much nicer flavour than Rye or Scotch for sure imo. I've never tried any of those VC, but knob creek and wild turkey are both at least decent to me. Scotch is way to smoky or something, I cant stand the stuff.

I'm really into whiskey though!

I give you my top 3 whiskeys, All of them comes in difference years and so on.
The whisky don't need to be better just because it's old though. just more expensive....
And if you wanna drink "hard liquor" dont go out and buy a jack Daniel's, It's pure shit, you might need to add a extra few bux for a quality bottle. but it's worth it. And go buy you a set of whiskey rocks, if it's really strong add a little bit of water, you will get used to it.

otherwise, give up after a few tries go out buy yourself a few breezers, ladies like those drinks and sharing is caring

1: Talisker
2: Tullibardine

Would not say i'm an expert though but this is what i would say about it

Knob Creek is a good bourbon. Wild Turkey is ok but it is starting to scratch the bottom of the barrel for my snobbish pallet. WT does do a "Rare Breed" top shelf whiskey that is good stuff.

I don't like hard liquor. I don't like the taste of excessively strong alcohol. I can drink it, but would rather not. Beer is the only alcohol I will touch these days and that is plenty.

Captain Morgans spiced is the one

There may be no hope for you if you can't taste the difference between Whiskey and Scotch and especially if you can't discern between those two and Brandy or Cognac. You can't tell the difference between Hennesy and Johnny Walker? That's like saying I can't tell the difference between filet mignon and lobster tail.

If you don't want a headache then you just need to drink in moderation
