Is my newfound infatuation with brandy (cognac, armagnac) unnecessary gayness?

[Johannes de Silentio]

Would recommend getting bleached opee.

Probably a good idea even without looming buttsex.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

MediumGay should be your new name

Yeah, that feels about right. It's not quite JoRo level stuff or jerkin' it to the BBC memes folks post, but it's adjacent for sure.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

It seems classy but I've never had it. I did order some apple brandy the other day so I will report back unless I've turned to a life of public bathroom glory hole exploration.

Yeah, doing apple brandies, particularly Calvados, is on the list, too. Getting reliable information on what is good and not is even harder there than armagnac, which is harder than cognac, and all of them are still significantly harder than either scotch or bourbon/rye.

As for glory holing it, look on the bright side: If you get into a spirit that's high enough proof, it can both get you fucked up for your blowbangs and help you clean up at the conclusion of debasing yourself in a filthy stall.

For God sakes man drink Bourbon neat
for crying out loud!

Lol, trust me, I've got a sick fucking whisky collection, although most of it is scotch. But I routinely drink 60%+ whiskies neat, and my chest and ass have never been hairier.

The concern, then, is that the brandy will turn me into some kind of power bottom bear.

You're good bro, this is the platinum board. Leave the cheap whisky and Busch light for the plebs on RSS.

High-end tequila is my go-to, darker Anejo's specifically. Don Julio 1942 is a good starter or Patron Anejo.

I'll have to give the good tequilas another go. I definitely enjoy a nice mezcal every now and again.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

I am honored to be in your post.

There are probably gayer dudes on here than you, but I knew none of them would appreciate this treatment like you would.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

The only people I’ve been around who drink brandy have been more black than gay.

Is this helpful, Johannes?

It is. At the big brand level, it is absolutely associated with hip hop culture. Hell, even that piece of shit cracker coach from Indy CC in Last Chance U was talkin' 'bout drinkin' his YAK and smokin' his STUFF.

But there's a whole world of nerd shit beyond Hennessy (and using it to make horrible Incredible Hulks). It's a pretty terrific spirit, and you can get really high-quality shit that's both available and reasonably priced, especially when compared to anything whisky.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

I have to be honest, the diction and pacing of this thread title makes me think there are a bunch of new replies to the "varna sankaras" thread that got the whole Indian subcontinent banned from the board.

Edited: correcting my mis-identification of the folks that seem to be fucking up India's conservative population with all of their debauchery. Of course it is the "varna sankara's" that are keeping the whole sub-continent down.

Enjoy your booze, OP, no matter how you are judged by message board folks. Happy Sailing.

LOL, holy shit, brother! I've read the Mahabharata before, although it's been a few years, and I'm not sure if you're getting into Bhagavad Gita stuff here or what, but I'm confused as shit.

But I do appreciate the pass on the questionable booze habits.

You said you like cognac? You have to try Remy Martin Louis XIII! It's the nectar of the gods. Also, I have a bottle of Martell XO that is decent as well.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

You'll need to modify your budget to include a couple of heavy lead crystal brandy snifters.

Be sure to pour warm-to-hot water in them to allow the crystal to warm, toss the water and replace with cognac. Snip the end off of a fine Cuban Montechristo #2, brown the tip - then light, and enjoy a magnificent self-indulgent experience.

Don't let the haters hate. In the right moment, a quality high end cognac properly enjoyed is an exceptional experience ... enjoyed by gay men the world over.

I always hear stuff about getting lead poisoning from any of that stuff. I assume that's more about decanters and just storing the contents in there indefinitely.

I'm starting to think @Johannes de Silentio knows my given first name, considering the number of times I got the "You Done Fucked Up" reaction in this thread.

At the same time, there were so many one-sentence posts by JdS for a while that I thought it had to be an imposter. Now that the verbosity has gone up a notch, at least I'm confident that the real Johannes is here.

Louis XIII, I'm sure, is quite excellent. But then you're into the same issue you have with really top-end, big-brand scotch: insane expense.

Don’t do it, Bush. Save yoreself.....

Depending on how next weeks Fantasy Football World Championship goes my wife says I can get a bottle. DraftKings has been very very kind to me this year. If I win the FFWC I'll host a cognac tasting in Omaha.

I might have to revisit it.

Been a minute since my E&J days.

Pretty hard to store it indefinitely in a snifter when it's warm and you're sipping it while burning a good stick from Cuba. 😎 But yea, avoiding lead poisoning should be high on everyone's list, and yet people shoot at cops. SMH.
