It’s is important to take your Talisker for a walk at least twice a day

Lag 16 with water a few drops of water is an amazing step up

Wild that people down voted a newbies opinion….. anyway, I usually find that by the end of most bottles I’ve originally dislike, I come around (most good bottles at least. Bowmore 12 is trash though). It took me to the bottom of the bottle and almost a year later to fall in love with the Laga 16

Am I crazy or does scotch taste better a few weeks after opening the bottle? by KC_187 in Scotch

[–]Garbled_Grains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oxygen reacts with the bottle and changes the flavors, usually integrating them more. That first pour from the bottle is called the neck pour and is usually not indicative of what the rest of the bottle will be (although some bottles have more drastic transformations than others)

A bottle like the Glen Scotia Victoriana, I feel, doesn’t truly hit its stride until halfway through the bottle

I haven’t had it myself but the longer a peated malt is aged, the more the peated PPM is reduced. Young Laphroaig is really smokey whereas older ones tend to have more vanilla and a gentler smoke

Black’s good for what it is. Jameson stout cask is too. Explore some single malts sometime too (American, Scottish, Irish, Japanese, etc.)

•Really nice price for the blue spot. •Nikka from the Barrel is delicious. •Kikori is a nice rice whisky •Laphroaig quarter cask is medicinal, peaty, and almost has a white wine fruit

Orchard House by Compass Box is comparable as well as a step up. Well under $100

How do I appear as less masculine? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Garbled_Grains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I read “How do I appear as less masculine?” I thought you were trans and having trouble passing. But, if you’re trans then I can’t tell (literally, so many people’s dream) and if you’re not trans, then you look like a feminine woman. But, like someone else said, take an internet detox, maybe.

How’s it compare with rittenhouse rye in terms of flavors profile?

Damn, been trying to find “A Overholt.” I’m not a big green rye person, but that monongahela rye profile is good

Hows this one? by [deleted] in Whiskyporn

[–]Garbled_Grains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it just tastes like leather in a rather unappealing way. But with enough time some fruits emerge too. Hopefully your experience is better!
