Public Service Announcement: Scotch

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Scotch is gross. If you buy some that costs under 50 bucks, you might as well just soak ashes and cigarette butts in water, filter it out and drink it. Because that's what it tastes like.
And that has been a Public Service announcement from YellowRubberDuckie.

10. That's charcoal-lined oak barrels

Recycled from used sherry or bourbon casks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I don't care for it either.

To me it tastes like a mixture of burnt hair, prune juice and methyl ethyl ketone.

[XboxWarrior]

16. Cutty Sark Sank

and so does their "whiskey"

[petronius]

35. Actually, the Cutty Sark didn't sink

There was a bit of a fire last year, but the ship is still there...

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I don't drink brown liquor, period...

:puke:

Vodka
Wine
Beer

And that's it...except for the very rare tequila. :thumbsup:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

6. I stick with Rum...

Clear Rum.
But I love me some whiskey occasionally.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. I can't drink Rum...at all...

due to some hard drinking in my younger years. Just the smell makes me :puke:

[harmonicon]

19. scotch is whiskey

you mean bourbon? they're both whiskey,

[Deja Q]

4. So it tastes better if it costs $50.01?

:9

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. I have been told that if you buy cheap Scotch it tastes like shit.

:shrug:
My theory is all of it is going taste like shit.
Duckie

[Deja Q]

8. How about Jagermeister?

:9 :9

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Gross.

I hate Black Licorice.
Duckie

[madinmaryland]

7. In other words, you barfed!

:puke:

[Lady Freedom]

9. Margarita?

[kwassa]

11. single malts, like the one I am drinking now .....

The apogee of the distillers art.

You are a unknowing heathen, Duckie.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. Are you enjoying busting my (metaphorical) balls tonight?

[kwassa]

18. well, your outlandish, dare I say, behavior must be restrained.

We can't have this going on in a public eating establishment!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

14. beer or vodka only, thanks.

[harmonicon]

20. I like scotch

but recently, I had some supposedly nice stuff from Scotland (a friend of mine bought it while there), and I thought it really tasted like shit. I guess most of what we get in the US is from south east Scotland, but this stuff, which is supposedly better, is from the west and north west. It has a really nasty flavour, which comes from, so I'm told, being distilled from open vats which collect sea salt from the air and are heated from burning peat, which also adds an earthy taste to it. I'll stick with my boring non-salted non-peat-infused southern scotch.

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Old Socks!

You forgot the part about it smelling like old socks! My brother loves it. Ick!

[leeroysphitz]

22. Mmmmmmmm. Cigarrete but and water....

Me likey Scotch or bourbon or gin or vodka or triple sec or straight vermouth....

[Kutjara]

23. Laphroaig. Drink of the gods.

The gods, I say. Islay single malt is unbeatable.

[JVS]

24. YOU'RE SO FUCKING WRONG THAT I WANT TO BLOW UP THE WORLD

Scotch rules.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Furniture Varnish in a bottle...

Sorry JVS.

[kwassa]

26. Scotch is the premier liquor of liqours. It reigns supreme.

and anyone who does not agree smells of elderberries.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. It's great if you like a mixture of prune juice, burnt hair and methyl ethyl ketone.

I like smelling of elderberries; they don't smell like Scotch. My mother was not a hamster, and my hovercraft is not full of eels.

[kwassa]

29. you empty headed animal food trough wiper

now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. I fart in your general direction.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. My husband got a bottle of the really good Glenmorangie 18 year

single malt. He won it at a Christmas party...and it still tasted like wood varnish. My dad likes it though. He got the $140 bottle and was happy.

[kwassa]

31. and how long have you been drinking wood varnish?

I, exceptionally, have no idea what it tastes like! now, polyurethane, on the other hand....

I just had the 12year old Glenmorangie, but I like others better. The big split is between Highland scotches and the Islay peat-flavored ones, many not liking the peat. I tend towards the Highland scotches like The Macallan. No smoky flavor.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. well, on the plus side, I will let you drink it in the same room with

us. My dad loves Macallan. I think the 12 year. I am not a Scotch afficiando, I just know that's what we usually ordered for him at Christmas time.

[kwassa]

33. Can't go wrong with The Macallan, it is a classic.

[MilesColtrane]

34. Truly ALL hard liquor is an acquired taste.

I went through a scotch phase (Glenlivet only), but now drink only sour mash whiskey and the occasional gin and tonic during the summer.

[petronius]

36. If I hadn't been guzzling beer for the last eight hours, I'd pour a dram of Lagavulin to spite you

You're insane - scotch utterly rules. Bad scotch is shit, but bad anything is shit. Why waste time with bad scotch or bad anything else? In short, drink good scotch and speak no ill of scotch or god will smite you with great smiting...

:beer: (<-- Imagine that that's a really big scotch.)

[Lil Missy]

37. How do you feel about Gin? That shit tastes and smells like gasoline! n/t

[Connonym]

38. That's why I drink Irish whiskey

and I know I've been nearly crucified for admitting to drinking it with Dr. Pepper (which was actually really gross and I'll never do that again). But all of the yum, all of the mellow, none of the smoky flavor
