I hate Wild Turkey, it tastes terrible imo(but could be because I just hate Bourbon)

[Hitman]

I never heard of it before, so I digged it up in one the whisky books I got.

It's a strong bourbon whisky of 50,5%. It says that it has a very rich taste for a whisky with that percentage of alcohol with flavours of vanilla, honey, cinnamon and soft fruits. It also should have a touch of the oak cask where the whisky has been aged in.

To me, it sounds quite good and I would really like to taste it.

Rofl yeah it has 50.5%, what the fuck lol. Now I feel like tasting it lol. Gonna try it next weekend, ill post here with my feedback , whether the wild turkey is good or not

Ballantines is cheap shit aswell (atleast incase your talking about the "normal" standard bottle that you get in most supermarkets).

Cheap whisky really is disgusting, you should try a bit more expensive one, its really worth the extra cash $$

Altho if you just want to get drunk i'd go with wodka/lemon or bacardi/coke

Bacardi. <3

Hehe Bacardi Razz is a nice way to get drunk :p. Drank a bit to much of that stuff on my last holiday  . The only whisky i've ever drunk was some Red Label mixed with cola, not my favourite drink but it's ok. But on the rocks i found it really disgusting. Maybe I need to try it some time again...

Love Razz. Though I need to say I usually don't drink rum or whisky. I should start, actually. Beer isn't really my kind of thing. Love Bacardi and Martini, though.

The problem that a lot of people dislike whisky is a result of the first whisky they taste; mostly a cheap one. Ballentines, Red Label, Four Roses, The Famous Grouse, all cheap whisky's but not very good ones. As Hitman said, you should go for a little more expensive bottle instead of the cheap crap. It doesn't have to cost a fortune though, but a bottle like 25-30 euro's is worth the money and way better then -for example- a Red Label.

So what one do you recommend me for trying out?

@Maka
Martini, seriously ? That must be the most disgusting thing evurrr

[SolidRock]

Jack Daniels is always good to start with. But if you want to taste something a little more special, try one of these:
- Johnny Walker Black Label
- Bowmore Legend
- Glenlivet 12

All three are around 27 euro's (JD is 22 afaik). But remember not to drink too much at once, just enjoy it
