I'm in the US, and that's likely the same here
Personally I go with scotch if I want good whiskey. I find barrel aged whiskey to be better.
Looking for pizza recommendations
Well, I like calzones better
Okay, still looking for pizza
Well, calzones are just folded over pizzas...
And as rye is a whiskey I did give a recommendation.
And 7up and orange crush are both sodas, but they are still different flavor categories.
Oh wow, such an enlightened response. Buds fuck off with the childhood taste shit.
Oh nice, someone that can't even comprehend the obvious metaphor I was using to show how stupid your response was. Guess it wasn't just the response.
I'll make it dumber for you: If someone asks for a cola recommendation, and you waltz in and say you like ginger ale... People are going to call you out, just like they did here.
Rye and scotch are closer in taste profile than coke and orange. Which is why i called it a chidlike taste profile.
I'll make it easier for you. You got upset because I wasn't exclusively talking about rye and that hurts your pedantic brain.
First, because we wouldn't want you getting confused and thinking you properly comprehend what someone wrote to you for once, no one here is upset. I'm just pointing out why what you said was stupid.
I'm laughing AT you because of this wounded pride lashing out you're doing. Not upset, amused. 😘
Ah yes, piss oll over a conversation you had nothing to do with because it violated your sense of decorum. You aren't the good or intelligent person here.
I would suspect that I pissed in your alts cornflakes the way you are speaking.
Edit: I don't see you targeting the people talking about flour.
If you’re drinking scotch you’re drinking whisky not whiskey.
a distinction without a difference
I mean, they have different spellings and mean different things, but sure, you do you, man.
Yeah because a distiller doesn’t know the etymology of the name of thier product
... and what they say is: "If you’re talking about a dram that’s been made in Scotland... use the spelling without the e—whisky."
