Expensive scotch on New Years Day

in whiskey •  3 years ago 

It isn't my New Years Day but it is for anyone who follows the Lunar Calendar which I don't think anyone actually sticks to the lunar calendar because it would be a mess and it would be a different number of days each year. I don't know how that works but it does seem to be the case. Anyway, yesterday was NYD and we got drunk.

It wasn't my idea but a friend of my suggested we try a scotch that is at a price point that I normally wouldn't bother with.

I let my friend choose because my days of pretending as though I am into fancy spirits are behind me. I played that game for a little while in college and when I was a young professional but for the most part I think that expensive spirits don't really taste good, they just cost a lot so that people can show off. That's the way that I feel about this bottle as well.

We had it on the rock, just a single piece of ice and mostly it had that chalky taste that I feel is a part of most scotch whiskeys. This one is aged 15 years but if that hadn't been pointed out to me I wouldn't have had any idea that this was meant to be a premium beverage.

To me this was a waste of money and I was just happy that it wasn't my money. I don't like wasting my friends' money either but it was his choice. In the future if this was offered to me I wouldn't accept it even if it was free.

Pft, your friend sounds like a boomer, bruh. Why waste $66 on a bottle of whiskey when you can get, like, so many whiteclaws and get white girl wasted, dawg. Shiiiit.

ha! I've never had a White Claw but I do hear people talk about it every now and then. Are they any good or are they just popular because they are diet booze?

They're very overhyped, but they aren't bad. Some of the flavors are kinda rank, and others are refreshing. I've had them a few times, I'd rate them like a 7 out of 10. I really like drinking normal seltzer water like a fucking fish though, so I'm biased.

are they zero calorie? I suppose I could ask the internet about that. Seems like they have to have some calories in them since there is booze involved.

Nah, they have 100 calories for every 12 ounces with 5 percent alcohol per can. Not really sure why actually, they only have 2 grams of sugar in the can and not much else. Weird. But, then again, who gives a flying fuck when you're getting white girl wasteddd babyyyyy.
