>>8799>Maybe you tried some spiced or honey one?Just regular Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, mb not specifically sweet but they have this strong vanilla note that I don't really like unless it's for mixing with cola.
I actually also like the smoky stuff like Laphroaig or Lagavulin so in comparison they're rather sweet :DD
Btw Japanese whisky is also worth trying, Suntory should be the most available brand.

>>8800>SuntoryWanted to try it ever since I played Yakuza, but unfortunately they never sell it here, probably because it wouldn't be popular (people don't usually associate whiskey with Japan). I had Chinese whiskey once though, and it was awful, on the level of Belarusian knockoff whiskeys. Maybe because it was a cheap one, but still.

Thanks for the recommendations!
>Johnnie Walker, Chivas, Jameson
Especially about Johnnie Walker I have heard a lot of good things, but I can't stand how boring the bottles of these brands look. I know, its kind of weird to care about that, but all the reason I even spend money on such a thing and not some 3€ Vodka in the first place is taste and wanting it to be a nice experience. So I guess if I have all the choices, I will still look for nice aesthetic.
Ballantines look nice I think, maybe I will get one of those. Killbeggans is also fine.
Have you ever tried Famous Grouse or Glenfiddich? Those are also Scotch in the price range, which I saw being recommended for beginners (whatever that means).
>Passport and Old Smuggler
Never heard of those, on next trip to supermarket I will check out the alco shelves without buying anything just to get an overview of available brands.
>bourbon
Never tried one except maybe some Jim Beam with Cola or something like that. I also heard that it is more sweet which I think I would not like as much, otherwise maybe I would look for a bottle of Buffalo trace, that looks nice.
>Irish whiskey in coffee
Damn, I should have tried this while I still had the Tullamore. I am a big covfefe enjoyer, but thought I would need some cream for proper Irish coffee, which I never had around. Also I only really drink in evenings. But tea with some honey and rum is also great hot drink for the winter, have you tried it? Add some splashes of lemon, its very nice.
Guess I will now continue reading countless highbrow reviews before I make a buying decision, since I don't want to make a wrong choice. I'm not even sure yet if I even like whiskey that much, so might very well be that I am putting way too much thought into this.

>>8803>thought I would need some cream for proper Irish coffeeWell, proper Irish coffee might be great, but you don't really have to make it proper for it to be tasty. I just mix whiskey and coffee (I'm not a coffee connoisseur, so I just make a really simple one in a French press, without any fancy-shmancy coffee shenanigans, but you may try making it differently if you feel like it) 1:5 in a 300 ml cup with a teaspoon of sugar. It makes for a cozy drink, not as cozy as Glühwein, but still pretty cozy.
>tea with some honey and rum is also great hot drink for the winter, have you tried it?No, but I might when it gets colder. I still have half a bottle of dark Old Pascas around.
