it's difficult to get root beer in the u.k., and anyway it doesn't get you drunk.

it's salt whisky bar, in seymour street. fancy a julep, anyone?

8 months pass...

Have any of our UK friends seen or tried this "J&B -6ºc"? I just got a press release; evidently they're testing it in the UK and thinking of bringing it to the US. Sounds like a scotch for vodka drinkers: "with a pale color and an apple-pear scent" = almost clear and tasteless, to lure clear-liquor market share in a whiskier direction?

I've fallen in love with Evan Williams bourbon--cheap and delicious!

I've tasted Dewar's and it is very masculine.

― youn, Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:32 (7 years ago) Permalink

ah, whiskey, so good. Jameson is my usual, but I've tried smokey whiskey and it's quite nice and strong. What is that J&B -6 trying to do, be vodka? hm. I'm sure it is far too easy to drink.

NO WHISKY BAD WHISKY WHISKY BAD

Ewwww. I'm having some Talisker with a few drops of Drambuie on it tonight, as dinner. heh. I've had a cold for a few days, and this will hopefully knock some of it out of me.

― lyra (lyra), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:40 (7 years ago) Permalink

Hm, is that symbol messed up on everyone's browser? It is supposed to read "J&B minus six degrees Celsius" but from here it is a complex and unfamiliar Chinese character.

Trying to be vodka, yes indeed.

― Paul Eater (eater), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 03:12 (7 years ago) Permalink

working fine on my browser. Looks like Manx or Welsh whisky. Probably fairly tasteless un-aged malt spirit. Looks ghastly.

Thank you, ILE, for reminding me to get a bottle of Balvenie for Mum and Dad for Christmas.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 09:28 (7 years ago) Permalink

Not encountered it myself, but I would guess it's either a bit grim or so tasteless you might as well be drinking vodka.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 09:54 (7 years ago) Permalink

regualr J&B is already on the light side compared to say, JW Black.

clearly intended not to compete w/flavor of soda/mixers?

Caption competition coming up

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:35 (7 years ago) Permalink

I believe it's aged properly and then chill-filtered to remove "impurities," i.e. flavor.

There was an article in Saturday's Wall Street Journal about "controversial" new products being introduced by Scotch distilleries, but they didn't even mention this abomination. The most controversial was Bruichladdich introducing a blend of three vintages in one bottle.

From your reports I guess the UK launch this past summer did not make a huge splash.

― Paul Eater (eater), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 15:03 (7 years ago) Permalink

I have a bottle of the sherry casked Bowmore (given to me by a friend) mentioned in that article, and it's really not that great. I've been drinking it, but doubt I'd buy a bottle on my own.

― lyra (lyra), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 17:58 (7 years ago) Permalink

I've yet to like the taste of any hard liquor. Unless Stoli Vanil or Raspberry counts.

I have been drinking whiskey lately when we go out. It's a good winter drink.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:04 (7 years ago) Permalink

It's good for warmth and effect; hell going down tho.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:05 (7 years ago) Permalink

you can mix it with stuff, morbs.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:07 (7 years ago) Permalink

I pref the shots, for effect.

I'm not a big hard liquor drinker but whiskey doesn't seem that difficult to drink straight to me.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:15 (7 years ago) Permalink

Friday = pay day = trip to liquor store for bourbon & scotch! Yay hard liquor!!!

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:33 (7 years ago) Permalink

I'm guessing 1:30 on a Tuesday isn't the most appropriate time for whiskey, but fuck, here is this thread, and here is a sudden jump in my stress level. ANYWAY.

as a medical doctor, it seems that you endorse the cooling factors of freezered gin. good man! xpost

this is going to be a good thread, i can feel it

Having a flask bottle in the hip pocket feels suspiciously like I imagine a shoulder holster feels.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:39 (3 years ago) Permalink

Also makes me imagine tats of Jack Daniels under the heart lol

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:39 (3 years ago) Permalink

once i took a pink alligator flask to a bar, and the guy checked my bag. and he was like, you have to leave this outside

― surm, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:40 (3 years ago) Permalink

Also--yall: all yall:: it is too hot for whiskey and that is why I am going to sit on my porch and sip whiskey and sweat in the humid ass texas night. Because tonight is that night.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:41 (3 years ago) Permalink

The night to do just that

i have to finish this beer, but afterwards i will rejoin you all with some sort of cold hard liquor beverage

xpost hmmm i am considering your argument and finding it fairly compelling (with state replacement of course)

― BLEAT THE MEATLES. PARADE. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:42 (3 years ago) Permalink

I don't have any whiskey. and it is 1 hour and 43 too late to buy any.

But i do have gin and I've been having 2 about to be 3 martinis.

For some reason I forgot/didn't realize Maker's Mark is also owned by Beam. Hrrm.

xp yes it is

I just think it's a bit rich for them to cite the bump in sales as a ratification of its "rare brand" rep. They just brilliantly/boneheadedly bullshitted everyone into thinking they would make it more rare, then immediately backed down. But anything sold by the jug in Costco is not "rare," lol.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 9 May 2013 14:20 (1 month ago) Permalink

xpost Fittingly, my friend considers Maker's an "airport" brand. That is, if you're stuck in the airport, and you need a sip of bourbon, you know there's at least Maker's. But neither he nor I have ever spent money on a bottle of the stuff.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 9 May 2013 14:22 (1 month ago) Permalink

yeah makers is usually the one ok bourbon at shitty bars and rock clubs

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 9 May 2013 14:26 (1 month ago) Permalink

btw my supply of knob creek rye is soooo gone. three bottles lasted fewer than three weeks :/

I usually get Wild Turkey 101 at the duty free but they had some honey version instead this time.

― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 9 May 2013 15:17 (1 month ago) Permalink

Wild Turkey 101 is awesome. Honey version likely not awesome, unless you are a 12-year old girl.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 9 May 2013 16:59 (1 month ago) Permalink

pretty sure the honey version is for SHOOOOTS

1 month passes...

Found a quiet city centre bar selling powers 12 for <€5 per shot, quite the result imo

― posters who have figured how to priv (darraghmac), Friday, 14 June 2013 18:15 (5 days ago) Permalink

I was pretty impressed by the wonderfully redundantly named Russell's Reserve Small Batch Single Barrel bourbon. 55% ABV, but not too hot, very flavorful, enhanced by a dash of water. WT101 is such a good deal it's hard to shell out for a fancy bottle with no age statement (rumored to be 7 or 8), but I liked it a lot better than, say, Rare Breed.
