I love Whisky

[bakerbarber]

Bourbon, Irish, Tennessee...

Scotch is not my thing.

Whiskey, Whisky, or hooch. I do like.

I like variety. Like cigars, price does not always equate to quality.

What's your favorite?

I'm a big whisky fan also, but much prefer scotch and Irish. I don't care for Tennessee whiskey, and the only bourbons I'm really into are higher end. Bourbon makes me feel sick if I drink too much, but I enjoy a glass every so often.

I'm also a big fan of tequila, but I haven't explored that much yet. My favorite so far is 1800 Anejo. I can't drink the rail tequilas.

Makers Mark for Kentucky straight bourbon whisky
Clontarf and Jamesons for Irish
Don't like Tennessee whiskey
I stick to those three for the most part. I've had scotch once, and loved it. don't remember the maker though :cry: must've been pretty good!
while my choices do get a bit pricey, a handle lasts me forever as I only drink it with a cigar or as a nightcap. I wanna savor the flavor! Rum and Gin are for getting schloshed in my book, but that's a whole other beast 8)

Wild Turkey 101


Makers Mark


But I probably drink more Jim Beam than anything.

[MasterGuns]

I do like jim, especially with coke. goes down easy and doesn't come out, so long as tequila stays out of the mix :wink:
Almost forgot good ol' ol' charter! Good stuff, cheap stuff, and plays well with eggnog! tis the season, after all

[Jeremy]

Wild Turkey for me. Was also my dads favorite.

[deadohsky]

Second on the Wild Turkey. Not sure what it is, but i really enjoy it, very tasty.

[daruckis]

yeah im mainly a bourbon man, and have to chime in on the wild turkey. i rock this belt buckle:

in better condition than that one though. i usually buy ten high, ezra brooks, or jim beam though. depending on if i wanna get 7 dollar, 11 dollar, or 16 dollar drunk. woodford reserve and makers mark are great but so expensive.

also love jameson, the only irish ive ever had.. i drink scotch only when i didnt have to pay for it, still have some mccallan 12 year single malt. i wont drink rum, sick. i love gin but sometimes i get hives from juniper. tanqueray, bombay, beefeater, gordons, whatever. gin and tonics and martinis for life. vodka of course is just for pussies that dont like gin. ha!

I like most whiskeys and burbons, Kentucky, Tennesee, Canadian- but I usually can't do scotch or irish whisky.
Ebery now and then (like once every two years) I get a wild hair for Bushmills.

I usually drink whatever's cheapest but I prefer Knob Creek, Jack, Crown and Old Grandad. Always neat.

I love whiskey, too. I prefer not to mix it, with the exception of a couple of drops of water to open up the flavor.

My standby is Jameson's. I can drink that stuff neat all night.

Irish is probably my favorite whiskey, but lately I've been on a single barrel/small batch Bourbon kick. Of what I've tried on that front, I liked the batches of Ezra Brooks Single Barrel and Elijah Craig 12 year that I've gotten.

As for Tennessee, is there anything else besides Jack? I really enjoy a neat Gentleman Jack. Whenever I have the extra cash to drop on it, I've gotta try the Single Barrel Jack.

I don't drink too much Canadian, but if I do, it's usually Crown. Occasionally, I'll get a bottle of Seagram's or CC to mix with 7up or Coke, but like I said, I prefer not to mix.

I've only dabbled in Scotch and have never had really good Scotch. I have about 1/3 left of a liter bottle of Johnny Walker Red that's been in my liquor cabinet for a month. That's about 4 times as long as Bourbon or Irish would last. Good Scotch is just so damned expensive and you can get good Irish or Bourbon for less. Thus I haven't really explored Scotch like I'd like to.

As for Tennessee, is there anything else besides Jack?

George Dickel's the only other Tennessee I'm aware of.

[Redbeard]

Indeed. I forgot about Dickel.

[Monkey]

Bookers is really good to. There's also Willie Nelson's whiskey which, I can't remember the name of. They're pricey though...

Another cheaper bottle: Bullit Burbon. 20 bucks last time I checked and not oo shabby.

I'm a big fan of Italian films of the 70's, so I was on the J&B wagon for a while. But I really didn't care for it, best thing I could mix it with was diet 7-up. Not a liquor fan really, but I usually have vodka mixed, or rum and cola.

[justintempler]

Back in the day when I was a regular drinker,
it was Chivas Regal or Johnny Walker Black.
