The big whiskey thread.

[quote=Scrax]True that, but we had a nice misunderstanding, trolo. Hmm.. Alright. Here's two I tried recently: [b]Black Bottle 5 Y.O:[/b] Light and a little sweet, with a balanced smoky mark. Personally didn't like the sweetness, just.. It's like sucking a cherry lollipop then take a giant whiff of a cigar. Bleh. Score: 5/10. [b]Drambuie (I think it was):[/b] Color was deep golden. Vanilla and honey aroma. Sweet. Can't remember much else, just that it is not for me at all. Score 2/10. Scores are based on [i]my[/i] tongue, so don't judge them. How's that, Searz?[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]You know, I never did like getting drunk only buzz. I hate not being in control. o_o[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]^I quite agree. I do not drink to get drunk, but for the pleasures of flavor. Loss of control is a nightmare to me.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Which is why, when a large portion of my friends smoke weed, I refrain.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Scrax] True that, but we had a nice misunderstanding, trolo.[/quote] What misunderstanding? [quote][b]Black Bottle 5 Y.O:[/b] Light and a little sweet, with a balanced smoky mark.

Dunno how sweet Laphroaig and Islay Mist are compared to Black Bottle, but they have a tiny hint of sweetness and I think I like it (probably the vanilla that's doing it, but then again; I might just be overstating a very, very small part of the taste :3 ). [quote]Scores are based on [i]my[/i] tongue, so don't judge them. How's that, Searz?[/quote] Of course. It's all good.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I would love to hear what people have to say about [b]Caol Ila[/b]. It's been the only whiskey my friends/family has liked more than Laphroaig and I'm quite curious. I drink both for the buzz and the taste :) I got excellent metabolism so I never get a hangover :D[/quote]

[quote=Atarios]Who ever played LoL drunk?[/quote]

[quote=Searz]*raises hand* Did it a lot recently. Was down with a bad cold (which now is almost gone) and was fighting it with alcohol :)[/quote]

[quote=orochinagi]I'm quite a fan of Johnny Walker (Black, Green, Blue Labels)... You just got a few points in my consideration Searz... didn't know you for a whiskey man :o[/quote]

[quote=xLiqur][quote=Trojan995] Which is why, when a large portion of my friends smoke weed, I refrain. [/quote] Why? Because you don't want to lose self control? Smoking weed wont give you less self control. The only thing you wont be able to control maybe is your appetite. But other than that, THC (whats in weed that gets you "high") is the #1 ORGANIC remedy for well, ... almost everything. Seriously, I've been smoking cannabis daily for 3+ years and haven't had any sickness at all, expect maybe for the common cold once or twice. I go to a UC in CA, play baseball, and still live a very healthy active life, and I'm high usually all day, everyday ... at school, work, baseball, moms house, and even when I go to grandmas for dinner, I enjoy a nice snap(hit) before we eat. Ask a daily consumer of Alcohol and see what his day's are like. ( At least someone who drinks as much as I smoke.) Alcohol is the TRUE drug here. I hate how society/gov. put Cannabis in such a bad light. It OPEN's doors in your mind you would have never even imagined. /end Sorry to post off topic, just had to say something. PS. Nothing against you Trojan, but you should give it a chance if your open minded. You will learn how to use it to enhance the things you enjoy in life. Edit: OT, Not much a drinker, prefer my bud too much. But next time I do try some whiskey i'll try and get more out of it then a buzz ;). It would be nice to find a good flavored whiskey :)[/quote]
