I'd go to that shop. The guy would roast you, but how else you going to learn and improve? It's like improving your palette for shit like whiskey after a connoisser berates you for acting like standard Jack Daniels is the shit and then decides to tell you how things really are.
I only really know scotches so far because the history speaks to me
Glendronach 12 year is the best I've tried so far
Glenmorangie 10 year
Can't go wrong with a Glenfiddich 12
I liked Ardbeg 10 but apparently it's an acquired taste

You guys are talking about whisky, not whiskey. The 'e' makes a difference. And it's just 'scotch', not 'scotches'.
To get into whisky, get a taster bottle (either a miniature, or a shot or two in your bar) from each of the regions, they taste different.
Though if you just want to decide between 'liquid fire from the forge of the world' and 'fruit of the gods' just go for an Islay brand or a Speyside one respectively.
The others kind of fall inbetween, but are still quite complex.
For the Islay ones I would suggest Laphroaig or Lagavulin, but Ardbeg is also a good suggestion.
From Speyside, Glenlivet or Glenfiddich.
I'd typically suggest a 12 year but you take what you can get.
Try with and without ice, don't let anyone shame you if you like it watered. It changes the flavour and some people prefer it.
Drink carefully. Whisky will get you fricking wasted and once you get over the initial strong hit, you'll be surprised how quickly you can start slamming them back. Don't.
Also it tastes genuinely of like 4 or 5 different things at once so it's worth savouring.
Whisky and whiskey are literally from different countries and made differently and they were talking about one but calling it the other, but go off ignorant king.
>You guys are talking about whisky, not whiskey
Same general umbrella of drink. This is like arguing that potato vodka is a different category to grain vodka to any meaningful degree. >And it's just 'scotch', not 'scotches'.
Thanks. >Try with and without ice, don't let anyone shame you if you like it watered. It changes the flavour and some people prefer it.
Definitely agree with this. I like my whisky a little watered down most of the time, so I let some ice melt in it. I just want the flavours and minimal harshness.
>Ardbeg is also a good suggestion.
I got a bottle of Wee Beastie for my birthday a few days back, it's very nice; has a distinct smokey and tar-like taste to it
This is the best whisky I've tried in my life, I didn't know what to expect out of Japanese whisky but the taste was amazing, totally worth the price.

He's 'new posh', for lack of a better term, i.e. mixed middle class/working class roots that aren't even English, parents actually had to work hard as frick to put him through a fee paying school (and not even a God-tier or even high-tier one), and so on. He's remarked before about how the RP doesn't help. He gave off the perception of having a footman waiting on him as he lived in a shitty Kilburn flat whilst Lee Mack (the presumed salt of the earth man) lived in a house next to a river
>put him through a fee paying school (and not even a God-tier or even high-tier one)
He went to a public school, one of the oldest ones in the country, by definition that's a high tier private school. He then went onto Cambridge. Both his parents were easily middle class. A public school into a Cambridge upbringing makes him textbook upper-middle class.
Lee Mack living next to a river was from a story when David/Rob went over for dinner. After he was a successful adult. If I recall he didn't even pass his O levels. Pretty working class
Had to look it up - Abbingdon School. Only really know the household names of Eton, Westminster, and Harrow, but fair point. He's had a fairly blessed existence growing up in a little paradise in Oxford itself, Abbingdon, Cambridge, Footlights, etc. but still 'new posh', i.e. Welsh/Scottish divided ancestry, IIRC the Welsh side is working class, etc. Not quite a Cumberbatch or Hugh Grant situation going on there.
I’m sure being in the Cambridge Footlights comedy cabal didn’t hurt him too much either. One of my favourite comedians ever but he hardly had a tough time of it lol.
*annoying nasal voice* >why wouldn't I enjoy watching the missus getting railed by two hung Black folks >It's not like I wouldn't like to shag two buxom Black birds... If I could >anyways, we have bigger problems, like Brexit and dreadful alternatives to watch on the telly but this very show
It's gotten far worse in the last 10 years so so. You used to get some regional comedians who would be able to eke out a TV career but now they're relegated to bit parts in panel shows so we're not just constantly seeing the same faces.

I'm actually surprised he has any non-English ancestry considering his comments on indigenous languages in the British Isles.
It was part of a web series he made called 'David Mitchell's Soapbox' about the Gaelic language. The specific video is now private but he says there shouldn't be public money spent on embedding the language in government texts/schools etc because not enough people speak it completely forgetting about all of the reasons as to why it's no longer spoken as much.
>upper middle class englishman sees no point to things in the UK that only matter in the poorer non-English nations if they don't directly benefit him
many such cases
that money could be better spent on some new streetlights in Kensington
What do you mean "I reached the punchline four minutes before the set-up was finished"?
Are you some kind of NAZI or something?! You WILL find her charming and you WILL tolerate her fricking garbage on every show or DIE

fricking orcs invaded the shire. How have Bongs not died off from having to frick these utter beasts??
Dark hair/eyed Bongs/Micks will either be beautiful Chad/stacies like Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, or Ioan Gruffudd or hobbit/caveman-like (Rowan Atkinson) or unaccountably look totally israeli, i.e. David Mitchell and Simon Bird. Shit's odd.
Simon Bird is literally israeli
I think David Mitchell just has more distant israeli ancestry that he doesn't talk about as his nose is a fricking beak
in what way is he posh? he's just decently educated and literate. doesn't speak like a barely sapient moron from the slums of bongland. i'd hardly call that posh.
i've never once heard him go express an intrest in maters of taste besides shit any educated person is into, like history or good films.
David Mitchell the man on TV is just Mark from Peep Show with a heavy sprinkling of virtue signaling. David Mitchell isn't really funny. People seem to think he wrote Peep Show. He's just an actor who was in the right place (i.e., Cambridge) to get a role.
he's obviously funny, that mitchell and webb look is as funny or funnier than peep show. and jesse was a minor writer on that. people saying he's posh don't know the meaning of the word.
>people saying he's posh don't know the meaning of the word.
Didn't say anything about being posh. He's not posh.
I'm saying he doesn't write his bits and he plays a character. He's just good at delivery.
nah he's funny. if we're gonna get mad at actor types for being liberals we're not gonna have any shows to talk about.
>if we're gonna get mad at actor types for being liberals we're not gonna have any shows to talk about.
I never said anything like that though
i said "people saying" which obviously if you weren't, isn't referring to you.
i agree that his chief strength is delivery. but that's the best of both worlds. jesse who can't act writes it, david who can sort of write and can deliver lines, delivers.
most writers are LULZ tier, i don't want them delivering lines anyway
he's obviously funny, that mitchell and webb look is as funny or funnier than peep show. and jesse was a minor writer on that. people saying he's posh don't know the meaning of the word.
He doesn't even write his own TV bits. His soap box rants are written by someone else.
his soap box rants are trash, so that's a good thing. he has genuinely funny improvised bits on shows like wilty, that are prbly scripted in the general sense but his delivery is great and he makes it his own thing.
who exactly do you find to be better? what would you call a "good" English comedian? jesse isn't a performer. and if you say some regional Glaswegian hack i'll know what it is you REALLY don't like about david, even though he isn't posh.
didn't think Back was good. There's interviews of them complaining that some of the humor in Peep Show is too meanspirited and then they went and wrote their own Peep Show that was even more meanspirited and bordered on cuckoldry fetishism at points
His rant videos on YouTube were cringe. They really show just how incredibly out of touch rich show business dweeb are from everything outside of their bubble.

He's definitely intimidating, but everything he said was true
what's a good whiskey to try beyond JD?
Whisky is better than any whiskey.

Generally anything that's more expensive.

I'll stick to Canadian Whiskies. actually, frick that why don't I stick to my cheap cold light beer.
This is the best whisky I've tried in my life, I didn't know what to expect out of Japanese whisky but the taste was amazing, totally worth the price.
https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/23928/nikka-coffey-grain-whisky
Japanese
No corn, bourbon, irish, scotch, indian, or canadian.
There you go, you're on your way to a better class of whiskey.
There's three of these types of sketches and they're all kino.
>I'd like to see the manager
>how can I POSSIBLY introduce you to him?
Holy frick, if I still had a wage slave job I would absolutely use this
For me it's
>Which, as every schoolboy knows, provided your school wasn't FREE
I just rewatched that whole series and the stuck up dude putting people in their place is one of the best sketches.
and he's not even actually posh!
He's 'new posh', for lack of a better term, i.e. mixed middle class/working class roots that aren't even English, parents actually had to work hard as frick to put him through a fee paying school (and not even a God-tier or even high-tier one), and so on.

Once you get to that level of posh it’s just splitting hairs. He’s not related to royalty or the son of a billionaire. Just a mere step or two below.
I’m sure being in the Cambridge Footlights comedy cabal didn’t hurt him too much either. One of my favourite comedians ever but he hardly had a tough time of it lol.
Peep Show was good

He doesn’t write those. Also there’s absolutely no reason why public money should go on reviving a dead language yes.
What about that new crop of "I'm a moron and a cripple" female comedian?
That girl has huge naturals
What do you mean "I reached the punchline four minutes before the set-up was finished"?
Are you some kind of NAZI or something?! You WILL find her charming and you WILL tolerate her fricking garbage on every show or DIE
She's cute for a moronic
fricking orcs invaded the shire. How have Bongs not died off from having to frick these utter beasts??
I remember when the “all panel shows must have one woman” rule was introduced. You can literally pinpoint the exact moment British comedy became shit.
Is this the reason why Lemmy left showbiz and went to fricking twitch? because he wasn't born with the anglo connection?
yup
Nah he’s just a bit shit init
Reminder that he was cucked for years before his fat now-wife was ready to settle down
always makes me laugh, he's just the type too
>ahhh wee the redditis?
I could have sworn he was israeli.
Dark hair/eyed Bongs/Micks will either be beautiful Chad/stacies like Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, or Ioan Gruffudd or hobbit/caveman-like (Rowan Atkinson) or unaccountably look totally israeli, i.e. David Mitchell and Simon Bird. Shit's odd.
>hobbit/caveman-like (Rowan Atkinson)
he looks indian
Simon Bird is literally israeli
I think David Mitchell just has more distant israeli ancestry that he doesn't talk about as his nose is a fricking beak
neither are israeli in the slightest
it's just a jason biggs situation with bird
Briton/roman phenotype
The Romans left an almost untraceable amount of DNA in the UK. People like Rowan Atkinson are 100% indigenous bongaloid.
Chance would be a fine thing
Mark is middle class in the show. He went to a shitty college that Jeremy got into
but his family had posho pretensions. he was even privately educated until his dad's british aerospace shares went kaput
His dad seemed like a c**t in that Christmas episode. Definitely not a respectable type
in what way is he posh? he's just decently educated and literate. doesn't speak like a barely sapient moron from the slums of bongland. i'd hardly call that posh.
i've never once heard him go express an intrest in maters of taste besides shit any educated person is into, like history or good films.
he looks down syndromed
something about the eyes
Fun fact, the ancient Brittonic tribes were actually a tribe of downies.
He is the type of guy who reads the NYT and takes it seriously
He reads The Daily Telegraph

Mitchell and Webb are great. Peep Show is the shit, their sketch comedy is good, and their newest show Back was pretty comfy
their finest skit by a mile
didn't think Back was good. There's interviews of them complaining that some of the humor in Peep Show is too meanspirited and then they went and wrote their own Peep Show that was even more meanspirited and bordered on cuckoldry fetishism at points
I mean.. it was filmed in what 2021? they've got to play the game if they want funding.
Can British people hear themselves talk?
nah we hear blank when we tries
The most brutal redpill was realising all british media is demoralising shit designed to make you depressed
That why i read Sunday Sport articles
> I never talk to my neighbour I'd rather not get involved
I kinda like him, and his wife. I know him from QI and Peep Show, and her from poker.
Britain has like 15 celebrities in total, and all of their TV shows follow the 1950s American style panel shows. Weird shit.
Boy oh boy that's more woman than he can handle
She didn't hit the wall, she broke through it worse than the Kool Aid mascot
I would wreck that fat old b***h, she is fricking thick. Incel David got lucky. I like her personality, too.
His rant videos on YouTube were cringe. They really show just how incredibly out of touch rich show business dweeb are from everything outside of their bubble.
...Is 4 naan bread really all that insane?
Maybe not for you you fat c**t haha
>check to see if others are as annoyed at sandi as i am
>reddit adores her and even says "it's good to see less white men on the panel"
I liked Peep Show and when he was on QI, but I find him insufferable
His schtick was played-out before he even started. Same with Ayoade. They even sound identical.
