Black Label tastes like a sock

Suggest some good shit.

Of which?  Scotch or bourbon or whiskey?  I can suggest what of those that I like, I don't know if they're considered "good" but there's a few I always enjoyed and also some that were very nice as well but I couldn't afford them normally.

I liked Jim Beam.  It's not fancy, it's not special, but it didn't taste like shit and it wasn't stupid balls ass expensive.  I was given a bottle of knob creek as a gift, that was pretty good, it had the smoky bourbony flavors with a smoother booze feel to it, it wasn't harsh to drink neat, and it wasn't one I would mix with anything.  Jim beam i could drink straight, neat, rocks, whatever, i didn't feel bad mixing it, but I could also just neck it out of the bottle like a piece of shit and also not feel bad.  Knob creek was not getting mixed, that was going into a small glass and then into my mouth slowly.  That was some super fancy shit for me.

I also liked Rebel Yell, but i've heard mixed things from other people who had it.  I liked it, although I had the rye one.  This is a really terrible review, but im an alcoholic so i wouldn't recommend total garbage, because believe me I've drank total garbage, and a lot of it.

Scotch is a bit foreign to me, but johnny walker of a few different colors tasted like paint thinner to me.  I'm trying to remember the names of the scotches I bought that weren't terribly expensive and didn't taste like actual poison.  I'm failing at that task, but they were like $20 and were actually pretty good.  They weren't ones i'd ever heard of, basic round bottle, the one was something like "21 notes" or "21 banks" something like that.  They put it near some mid/low tier-ish scotches and I took a gamble because it wasn't a million dollars a bottle, and unlike johnny walker it didn't make me revolt physically.  Johnny walker is paint thinner.  Bad scotch has that paint thinner taste to it, unless thats what scotch is supposed to taste like, in which case Its possible I just don't like scotch.

I have however had very expensive scotches before, fuck-all if I know what they were, but they were exceptional.  Very smooth, rich flavor but no nasty weirdness.  Would I buy them if I were rich?  Maybe.  But like with wine, there's a point where more expensive doesn't always mean better, and just because something's cheap doesn't mean it's diarrhea dogshit.

Maybe you just don't like whiskey, but it can be good.  Lots of people like rum, I'm hard pressed to recommend rum because there's basically only one I can drink, and even that sometimes doesn't sit well.  Tequila can also be really good or really bad, similar to whiskey/bourbon/scotch.  Gin, too.  Bad gin is really bad.  Good gin is really good, unless you don't like gin.
