I’ll give you some free advice on making a good old fashioned. I was a bartender for a while, and this is what worked best. >Elijah Craig for the bourbon (it’s the best value-for-money imo; in blind taste tests it’s held toe-to-toe with Whistle Pig) >A single large ice cube (it melts slower) made from drinkable water (you don’t want tap water in your hecking drink). >Simple syrup >>> sugar cube; all the worst OFs I’ve had have been bitter on top and grainy on bottom >2:1 simple syrup is better, and I like to use Demerara or other unrefined sugars >2 dashes angostura bitters, 1 dash orange bitters >Use a black cherry like Filthy/Luxardo; wrap it with orange peel and skewer, do NOT muddle it
I used to make it in the bottom half of a Boston shaker over a single slice of orange, which just enough to pick up the flavor. I put all of my ingredients, stirred briefly with small ice cubes (to preserve the large cube’s shape) so it’s lightly chilled, strained it into a tumbler, and garnished with the skewer. It’s simple, but most people heck it up. Think of it like a good steak, how you want to showcase the meat, so you use seasoning (salt, pepper) to bring out the flavor, but you wouldn’t want to overpower it (by drowning it in sauce, or—in the drink’s case—fruit)
bourbon is boring as heck, any single malt blows bourbon out of the water. bourbon is for mixing cocktails and very occasionaly in neat.
>cherry in old fashioned
everything you said has been disregarded. why do bartenders have to put cherry in EVERY cocktail? put a cherry up your ass.
also, 2 dashes of angostura is an absolute joke. at the very least 4.
Also, simple syrup is good because it mixes completely but this is also subjective, because there is something nice about having a stronger cocktail in the beginning and a sweeter one by the end, not to mention getting a bit os sugar with the whisky in the end is pleasing for some people.
Hell no. The redeeming quality of bourbon is that single malts mature in ex-bourbon casks.

I’m […] and […].
First scotch I ever had was Famous Grouse.
I agree with you on most things.
I do think single malts will always be better than blended whiskies (which is why I never have and never will buy expensive blendeds like Green Label, rather buy a bottle of actual Caol Ila or Talisker that is in it, rather than drink a mix of them).
I also agree single malts with ice is a sacrilege. At most a few drops of plain water if it asks for it eg cask strength.
However, due to the price I do drink blended neat and I find some of them actually good.
Old Parr 12 is cheap as heck and decent (better value than Black Label which is quite more expensive), my choice for peated blended, and Grants Triple Wood, which comes in a liter and is dirty cheap but offers a decent enough taste, my choice for unpeated blended.
If I had enough money though, I’d be drinking only Ardbeg Uigeadail, Bruichladdich, Tobermory, Springbank, Longrow…
>At most a few drops of plain water if it asks for it eg cask strength.
IMO a water chaser is always preferable to diluting the drink. >Price
I like to go Irish when I want something to get drunk on. Tullamore Dew is really good value/money, but going blended or a solid bourbon (I think I’d go with maker’s mark) are also good choices. >Dropping some recommendations
Appreciated Anon.
I can recommend checking out some of the more pleasant whiskys that matured in sherry casks. I really like AnCnoc and Auchentoshan. Really nice for summer and to blow the minds of people who "don’t like whisky"
Bourbon is not whiskey?
Bourbon and Scotch are Whisky styles from the US and Scotland respectively. If it’s spelled whiskey it’s Irish. All three of them are similar.

I have this I drink one in the evenings with froth and ice instead of coffee.
I was wondering if it had any health benefits since on the package it has nothing.
This.
Almost everything else itt is what 40 year old’s in a 19 year old’s body think is cool. You don’t look like Don Draper ordering whiskey at a bar. You look like a dork

Take 2:
Easily vintage wine, hiding in a cabinet mostly out of sight.
Peaky blinders alcoholism, smoking gays and copium isn’t fa, it’s cringe.
This whole sloshing around piss in a glass trend needs to go.
Taking drugs and alcohol way too far in your teens and twenties then spending the rest of your life clean is most /fashion/.
Just have some decency and get hecked up like a normal person, don’t play games with it.
Some whiskies really are worth their expensive price tag. JW Blue is really not though. It’s at best a decent scotch, it’s only expensive because of the brand. If you were to pay for its actual taste it should cost exactly the same as the Green Label.

Yeah there is a reason nobody drinks johnny walker here in Scotland (even red label – we drink famous grouse instead). You are paying £150 for a BLENDED whisky. Try a single malt, especially one from islay if you like smoky whisky. Doesn’t even need to be super expensive. Blends use grain whisky which tastes like fumes but malt whisky tastes a lot smoother and more full of flavour. Single malt just means a single distillery and 100% malted barley. Blends do have their place for drinking on the rocks or mixed but single malts should be neat. Pay for complex flavours and rarity and not for marketing. Also don’t worry about age statements – there are plenty good whiskys with no age statements.

bless your uninformed heart, anon
It tastes like shit and it’s only enjoyed by weeb gays and people literally genetically weak to alcohol.
I think mead the most feminine drink i have ever had. Tastes like pure floral honey, sweet and rich as heck. Drinking cheap dry white wine straight from the bottle is infinitely more "masculine".
Also beer is only lame because you are probably an amerilard. Try duvel, paulaner, staropramen, leffe, and any ales. American beer is so bland compared to the rest of the world.
Beer is lame because it’s estrogenic. If you’re so bent on "le european beer!!!" then you should know that hop farmers always have tits.
Also we get these beers, they’re not common, but we can get them

Buffalo Trace on the rocks is pretty metal too

Saccharine? Wtf? What the simple syrup? Lmfao you dumbass
Sugar tastes disgusting anon. You should know that
sugar is delicious. the trouble is you burgers keep substituing it with HFCS and Aspartame.
just drink sugar instead you gay fruit

Tap water or tea.
Alcoholics are paranoiac garbage.
For winter – Islay single malt
For summer – Blackni
Hot drink – Espresso
Soft drink – San Pellegrino sparkling water

Homebrew’d and home-destilled brandy.

meanwhile, people who actually have sex are drinking a vodka red bull
absolutely disgusting plebian drink and opinion
I think it’s cognac. I’d be drinking that ghetto henny too if I could afford it
Who gives a shit? Daiquiris all day.
Water. It’s the most techno beverage and it takes care of yo gat dame skin. Alcohol is disgusting and you are not cool for drinking it.

Ice water with a sprig of mint or someth

about 8 budweiser before lunch is pretty /fashion/ if you ask me
White Russian.
root bear float vanilla bean ice cream and russian standard vodka
Cillian Murphy is so heckING SEXY! heck!!!!!!!!
Also I think whiskey is a very /fashion/ drink.
A Brooklyn is a pretty classy choice
Absinthe, generally, as it’s very bourgeois-esque and fancy
If you’re a gay, then something more effeminate like plum wine, sake, or some other fruit wine
If you’re a woman then it’s (grape) wine, or possibly gin
If you want something more masculine than absinthe, then go for moonshine, vodka, or actual rum
Mead/honey wine is on par with wine but it’s more masculine. Beer is quite lame and boring
