Favorite Whisky?

[mrsleeve]

Yeah me too frankly, its always been something I have been meaning to snag a bottle of, just never have. With the rain day today and a day off tomorrow I dont think there will be too much of this particular bottle left

[z31maniac]

Wow, suprised you've never tried it.

If you see it anywhere, snag a bottle of the double oaked WR. Excellent for sipping.

just picked this one up for the 1st time, very pleasantly surprised

I'm primarily an Islay fan. I try to keep a bottle of Lagavulin around when I can afford it, though Bowmore does the job. I have a cask strength Bowmore I got a couple of years ago that I break out every so often, and about two shots left in a bottle of cask strength Macallan.

As for bourbon, no bar is complete without a bottle of Maker's. My grandfather's words, not mine.

Part of Bulliet's excellence is the higher-than-typical Rye content.

I'm happy to see Rye coming back into fashion in general.

A Mnahattan with a quality Rye blows away the same drink made with a quality Bourbon. And I like bourbon.

bulliet is pronominal for the price. i just discovered it a few weeks ago when i was perusing a liquor store going out of business and they were selling it for 30% off. what a deal and what a good bourbon. makers mark 46 is very under rated. it has a flavor complexity much superior to standard makers mark.

at the beginning of this thread there are a lot of misconceptions about what is a bourbon. the only requirements to call a whiskey a bourbon is that it has to be made anywhere in the us of a, it has to be made with 51% corn, it has to be made in a new unused american oak barrel. that is it. the name, however, did come from bourbon county kentucky which is no longer a county. most successful bourbons are made in kentucky because the water is filtered through limestone which removes any iron content in the water. a necessity for making whiskeys.

a couple of years ago, i did a bourbon tour which encompassed woodford, buffalo trace, and maker's mark. i was really impressed with woodford and makers. i know there are a lot of people out there that like buffalo trace products but at least for me when i took the "pepsi challenge" that day, i have to say their products are shit in my opinion. they didn't offer to any tastes of the pappy van winkle, but i thought blanton's tasted like cheap swill in an expensive bottle with a stupid cork that everyone needs to collect. i will never go back there and i will never buy any of their products with the exception of the fact that i do have a desire to try the pappy's.

Uhhhhhh. Dark and Stormy calls for Dark Rum Brochev.

You must be like the bartender who muddled up lemon in my $13 Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned friday night.

Just change the recipes all Willy-Nilly. :p

I meant an horses neck... I just read what I wrote and laughed.... Too much bulleit perhaps?

[z31maniac]

That's why Bulliet is so good. It's affordable and tasty, makes a great dark and stormy.

Jameson is my favorite.:nice:

[Smelser]

Wisers deluxe. Available in Canada! 58 bucks a 60 oz. normal 60ozs cost 54 bucks. Well worth the extra few bucks

Don't really like whiskey but this is what we have for people who do like it.

Stranahan's Colorado whiskey

I just wish they didn't stop selling it here. I miss it so.

I'm not much of a drinker.

I use to like to drink Johnnie Walker Red Label & Coke (got turned onto it over in Asia)
Glenlivet 12 year on the rocks is good every now and then.
Macallan 15 year fine oak on special occasions.

Jameson makes me feel awful - I can't smell the stuff w/o feeling sick.

I am the same way. I think I have had the same bottle of jamison's for over a year now... still 3/4 full.
