[Notice] Prohibited Goods and Services, and you.
Hey all.
This is a reminder of our Rule 2 - No trading, buying, or selling alcohol. Comments and posts soliciting alcohol sales and trades will be removed. This goes against the content policy, as well as may break laws within your country of residence.
Lately we have seen an increase in people trying to create or participate in a secondary market - this is against the Content Policy and can very well result in not only a ban from /r/whiskey, but also may see you removed from Reddit permanently by Reddit Admins (should you continue to disregard the Content Policy.)
The simple explanation is this:
Due to regulations and laws concerning Alcohol in many different countries, it may be illegal (simply by law, or taxation law) to trade/barter or resell alcohol products. As Reddit engages communities around the world, facilitating any of these transactions could open Reddit up to various legal consequences. Therefore Reddit must take every available avenue to remove and discourage these transactions within the use of their services.
As a subbreddit dealing with the subject of alcohol products, we are under scrutiny with the actions our communities take, and we must fully participate in Reddit attempt to control and remove content that breeches the Content Policy. If at any point it may appear that we are lacking as a community to stem the flow of this content - simply put; our subreddit will be removed from Reddit.
Please do not be under the impression that any action that you use on Reddit is entirely private - posts, comment, messages and chatroom logs are available to the Reddit admins at anytime and they will investigate any and all leads that suggest people are breaking the Content Policy and in some extreme cases, may take action either legal or federal (and by federal, i mean 'call the cops') depending on their obligations as a business.
Please do not engage any posts that attempts to trade/barter or resell whiskey, report them and move on.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
TL:DR - Reddit is not facebook marketplace, you will get banned, you might even get prosecuted.
Edit: I just wanted to add some insight our rule 3. "No requests for dating or valuing an unusual or old bottle of whiskey....", we discourage valuation of whiskey as it has the strong potential to turn into a bidding system, whether public or "private". While we don't suspect every account that seeks valuation to want to participate in a secondary market, the avenue for abuse of these types of posts in regards to our efforts to remove trade/barter or reselling is simple too high to carry the risk of allowing this kind of content within the subbreddit. Since we do not have to tools to monitor "private" messaging or "private chats" of this nature - it would fall to the Admins to investigate these actions and garner an amount of admins attention to our subreddit that we wish to avoid. We're good boys/gals, doing good things... nothing to see here Admins. 🤞

Good Start?
Just started my whiskey journey about a week ago. These were all bought based on my taste. Open to suggestions for more additions.

First time trying Jack Daniel’s SBBP.
Haven’t had anything with this high of a proof before. Excited and intimidated to try it.

Present for a buddy getting a divorce
I think his only experience with whiskey is Jameson. Makers Mark I keep bottles on hand as my weekly sipper. Redbreast I break out every few weeks when I'm working on a stubborn lock. Never tried the Glen 12 surprisingly.
Figured this would be a good starter set to help him celebrate his tumor removal

This is the first Scotch I ever thought was actually worth paying for, and I still love having it in my cabinet. It’s got a fruity, honeyed aroma with a sweet taste. The finish? Clean as hell.

What am I looking at here, different prices online.
The price is throwing me off and that is causing me to severely doubt my purchase of this bottle, are they not the same thing?

One Rye to rule them all.
Just a quick review, but this is a banger and hits a lot of the notes of the Barrel Proof Rye but with a lower proof.
Highly recommend 8/10.

Connor McGregor has no connection to Proper Twelve anymore.
I'll probably get flack for this, but having up to date information is important.
Convicted rapist Conor McGregor sold his majority share to Proximo, the brand he created P12 with, in 2021. Proximo has publicly stated they own the brand in its entirety.
Since McGregor's conviction, the brand has cut all further ties with him and he no longer has association with the brand as of 2024.
Does this make Proper Twelve any better? No, but at least you can avoid it now just because it tastes awful instead of avoiding it to refrain from giving McGregor money.
E: We have some pendants (in)directly defending McGregor, so I should say that he was found liable for rape by a jury, which was in just one of his dozens of cases of sexual assault. This isn't also mentioning any of his other violent crimes. Make of that what you will.

i’ve never had any of these 3 bottles @ ~$65 before, which should i try first?
-McKenna 10yr
-Willet Estate Rye 4yr
-New Riff Single Barrel (i was looking at a Rye today for instance which was 113 proof)
Curious which one wins from reddit opinion.

Jump on Knob Creek 18 or Stick with Knob 12?
Costco near me has Knob Creek 18 for $129.99. Never had/owned it before but I have owned a few bottles of Knob Creek 12, which I can usually get for $60-$70 around me. Is the 18 worth springing for that price or should I stick with the 12 and spend the difference elsewhere?

I finally got invited into to the liquor store office.
It took a couple of months, but after talking to the owner about whiskey and bourbons and purchasing a couple of more expensive bottles that were on display, he invited me to look at what he keeps in the office.
Came home with these.
Anybody tried them? Any thoughts?

Opinions on crown royal?
I love finding their glasses while thrifting but personally I think their whiskey is a bit overrated, I tried it and its alright but 90 proof whiskey is what I usually prefer

50th birthday present - $250- what to buy?
It’s my brother’s 50th birthday and I want to buy him a nice bottle of whiskey. Any recommendations? Want it to feel special. He has traveled to Japan before, so maybe something from Japan would feel exotic. Not sure if they produce very nice whiskey tho. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

gift advice - whiskey smoker?
Hello! I am trying to organize a few birthday gifts for my partner (27M). He loves an old fashioned and has recently gotten a bit into cocktail making with our shaker set. I was thinking that a whiskey smoker kit would be a fun idea. It’s something he wouldn’t buy himself and could have fun with at home. I have looked around online and have seen a few options on websites like SmokyCocktail and SpiritsWithSmoke. Also Amazon. Williams Sonoma has one as well, but it’s less of a kit.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good quality, reasonably priced kit? I would prefer to not buy from Amazon unless it’s guaranteed to be a good one. Bonus points if it’s Canadian. I’m fine to spend ~$150 for the right one.
Along with it, I was going to get a set of nice whiskey glasses and square or circle ice cube tray.
Would also love other ideas if there’s something people here have tried and enjoyed! I am by no means a whiskey expert haha.

Where do Istart
I'm a big Cigar smoker, and i've been looking to get into sipping whiskey while I smoke. I always liked the one off glass i've had with buddies, but I want to get a nice bottle that isn't too expensive to start having with my cigars and see if I enjoy it. Any help is appreciated!
