Are we still not past this.

I'm glad someone did!

Are we distil not past this.

fixed that for you

I feel like I should have got this. I’ve been planning a Twin Peaks binge watch, maybe you just made it happen a bit sooner!

Are we still not past this.

It should have been so simple if only William had known that you can make a still from one tin joined to another tin

Proof I'm not always right.

Or English

Why does the English one look like red bull piss? Is it distilled from sovereignty?
Edit- new page fail

Well, it doesn't mention any aging so probably straight from the still.

So firewater then? Fuck that noise

Nah straight from the still is colourless. Most whisk(e)y has burnt sugar extract added to it to make you want to buy it

Or, you know, aged in sherry, port or other previously used oak barrels that impart a natural colouring.

Yup, and it tastes like crap too. It's only in cheaper whisky though. Once you notice the flavour of the food colouring, it's hard to not notice it.

Not just colouring, flavour too. Macallan whisky, my favourite, is matured in used Jerez sherry barrels, and it’s bloody great.

Distilleries really get some mileage out of those barrels. Sherry then whisky then tequila. ..

Not just colouring, flavour too

Goes without saying

Nah, most large scale batch releases from most distilleries add a bit of caramel - take a look at any talisker release. More caramel in younger releases to add a bit of colour to refill barrel natured spirit and in older releases to ensure batch consistency.

Barrels for sure add some colour, though more often than not it’s less from the previous contents and more from the cask char levels.

Booze thread>>>>>
At least in my darkest days of drinking I never got into whiskey. Possibly cos I couldn’t afford the good shit and the chat around it put me off wanting to drink it ;)

Good shit would've been whisky, although there's plenty of good whiskey and plenty of wanky chat around every other spirit I can think of and then choose the cheap version of until someone else is buying.

Once you mix it with Calpol, who really cares what it is?

Ngl I got fucked up on WhiteClaw and good Tequila recently but was the first time getting pissed in a good few years.
No one got hurt and didn’t do anything regretful as far as I can tell.

Tbf it’s no different to people overthinking food, weed, bikes or any other vice I guess, prob just my issues with drink leads me to find whisky chat a bit irksome...

But was it really"good" tequila? How blue was the agave it was from? Are you even really drunk if the booze is sub par?

Still insta jell, ngl.

Pepsi and Dihydrocodeine for the proper stuff.

Yup, and if you've got a good palate, it affects the whisky. I can identify it in blind tests and really can't tolerate it above a certain proportion. Mostly in the cheaper whiskies that use more of it.

Can you taste caramel in whisky?
No, spirit caramel cannot be discerned as a distinct taste within whisky however a number of taste tests have concluded that it is possible to discern a change in the taste of a whisky, or at least its mouthfeel. Put simply there is not a caramel taste that is recognisable among whiskies, instead repeated tests have demonstrated that it is possible to identify a whisky which contains caramel, from a line up of otherwise identical drams without.
