𓀐 @BhQGqXvT: I went on a distillery tour at a local place the other day, and they let me try some of their new make spirit. It was genuinely some of the best grain-based spirit I've ever had, and they don't even sell it. Why the hell aren't unaged (technically not) whiskeys a thing? Is it really just because of those laws the UK had that mandated minimum aging times that don't even apply to the US? Basically every other type of spirit understands that their stuff can taste fantastic unaged (see: tequila, rum, etc) and whiskey specifically has a bunch of really interesting aspects to it at the front that you just never taste because they're covered up by oak. I remember wondering this a while ago before I'd even tried it myself and all the answers that I saw online were like "yeah you don't see it because it'd taste awful" and those redditors were absolutely fucking lying.+ 1

𓀐 @KA+*n8t+: New make is shit. You mention other spirits but it’s also true there, with the exception of tequila which is the only good unadulterated un-aged spirit (when done well). Gin doesn’t count because it’s adulterated The thing is, you can probably make new make good but at that point it would be expensive. You’d had to do really narrow cuts at the very heart of the distillate. Which is a waste to use for new make+

How bad can this get? What's the best bang for buck alcohol to get to get a buzz going? So far I've usually just been buying a 700ml bottle of Johhny walker or Jack daniels or catian Morgan's rum. What other types of alcohol or ingredients to get to make some mixed drinks? Something more fun or sweet or things like long island iceteas+

𓀐 @rDJcRdZm: >Is that basically baby's first alch >Jack Daniels Pretty much, you can drink it if you want but there's mostly no need to continue to do so unless you really just like mixing the stuff with coke, which is fine to do if that's all you give a shit about doing >Makers Mark Not as bleh as Jack but still quite basic. It's not 'childish' but a lot of whiskey drinkers will move on from it once they taste more interesting shit. >Wild Turkey Legit high level patrician tier, particularly if you upgrade to buying 101. It's genuinely very reasonable to just stop there and drink Wild Turkey for the rest of your life, even after going into and exploring +$100 stuff, it's pretty much the best bang for your buck alcoholic liquid you can get if you live in the states+

I’ve sent in fellow comrades to loot the store as well. I’ll probably go there some time around 5-8pm today EST.+
