Favorite Whisky?

Pappy Van is great, the best Rye you can buy is made by them, I talked to to the Son of the owner at a tasting, he said all he does is go around and play golf with the Beams and Blantons they run in a crew and drink shit you never see on the market.

damn, what a crew

Come to Louisville during the KY Derby, thats when some of the secret stash gets out. You can get a $1000 mint julep (yes thats right $1000), some kind of special arctic ice, specially grown mint leaves and supossedly the best wiskey made in the world.

I'm telling you guys to try Pappy Van Winkle...Can you guys get that in other states?

McCallan / Talisker / Arbelour / Laphroaig depending on mood.

Whisky doesn't make me sick, it's actually a cure. I had a sore throat for a few days, which sucked, but I went to a party and had a few shots of whisky. Well I had a bunch of other stuff that night too, but when I woke up my throat was totally fine. I'm attributing it to the cheap whiskey, because I could really feel it burning my throat as it went down.

Jim Beam for me. If I want something good, I'll drink scotch.

Oban used to be $43 a bottle like 5yrs ago tell eveyone and thier brother figured out it rocked, same with Lagavulin ($56.00) to $90.00, Laphroaig ($32.00) cask strength rocks too, I have been to Islay and went to all the distilleries by bicycle, what a blast.

Wow, that sounds like fun, riding a bike must have been pretty cool! As long as the weather's clear. :)

I picked up a bottle of Oban for $46 a month ago. I've heard it was a lot cheaper way back when.

I think this is good stuff, though I'm not HUGE on whisky.

I really like makers mark as well.

I'm a poor college student who buys Evan Williams. My pallet isn't refined enough quite yet to justify spending much more.

As far others Non-Islay, Balvenie and Glenrothes are tasty.

As for me personally I like the old Ardberg:
The Ultimate Islay.

Or Oban if it wasn't so expensive, delicate and a gateway to Isle flavor

Ha, I'll have to try Ardberg. I have Caol Ila, which is an Islay. Nosing it woke me the F up. Phenol.

Oban is great for those reasons, for sure. I like the hint of brininess. I guess before it became a "Classic Malt" it was cheaper.

When I'm out with friends I almost always go for the Wild Turkey 101 (as Mr. Copperwheat knows) as a simple matter of college student economics :)

Consider it a death wish if you buy me that again ;)

My personal favorite is the Glenmorangie 18 year. I don't care for any of the Macallan's, and I've tried the 25yr, 18yr, and 15yr. Balvenie Doublewood is very good. I can't stand any Johnny Walker blend, be it blue/black/gold/green/whatever (I've tried them all).

Makers Mark is my go-to bottle for something decent and on the cheaper side. When I'm out with friends I almost always go for the Wild Turkey 101 (as Mr. Copperwheat knows) as a simple matter of college student economics :)

My friend accused me of being an alcoholic the other day because I primarily drank whiskey all semester. But its the cheap shit, like Jack Jim and Johnnie.

cheap wiskey is like a cheap whore, both will get you sick:drink: and you will regret it in the morning.
