My boss got a bottle for his wedding and gave me a glass, Ive been hooked since. I'm also a fan of Dalwhinnie, but its a little harder to find. Its funny, I drink all my Macallan through George Dickel White label glasses. Its all I have on my desk at work.

Scotch: Laphroaig
Bourbon: Maker's Mark

Can't afford scotch so I've been drinking more bourbon lately (that and I had 3 different kinds of mint growing in pots on the patio so I went on a Mint Julep kick this summer).

Ive heard a lot of good things about Laphroaig. I think its in the top 5 best scotches. That has to be a pricey bottle.

there was a place in Wurzburg, DE that you could buy 18y scotch straight from the cask, it was the best scotch i've ever had....i can't remeber the name of it though

Jameson and Stranahans are my top two. A good buddy of mine brought back a 18y distill edition from Ireland and that was VERY VERY GOOD. ** A nice treat
Stranahans is great. kind of a Single Barrel Jack meets Woodford Reserve combo. One that I pair with a nice Cuban/Dominican Cigar on any given day.

Any cigar smokers? ;)

I'm not a fan. But I'm a man of simple tastes. Jack and Jameson keep me happy.

I've never seen an Acid over $10. I don't think I've even seen a Drew Estate over $10.

I work on colfax and 225, i bought one at the smoker friendly there for that much. i dont smoke cigars that much, maybe one every few weeks, i'm no connoisseur

The prices must have really jumped up on them. They used to be $7-$9 cigars.

well i feel like i've been took then

Maybe you got a special one or something. I know they were more than I remembered the last time I wanted one. Could just be that Smoker Friendly as well. That's where I usually go as well.

Maybe, we always drink a few beers afterwork on fridays in our employee parking lot, i run across the street normally and get a couple. i might have to start buying online then.

Basil Hayden's is the shiznit.

I've also been digging the Ri1 lately. Yeah, I know, it's a Jim Beam product but just the same it's pretty good rye.

And every cigar will be cheaper online than at a store. Nothing wrong with a storefront as a place to put your feet up and smoke your purchase with a book for a few hours, but one way is definitely cheaper than the other.

I've never seen an acid over 8 but we do have havana manor in Ltown. I'm going to be truthful and admit I normally drink canadian mist. Even when I get a bonus or a big commission check I still drink canadian mist. Sometimes I will "splurge" for a 1.75 @ costco for 47 bucks or a 750 of stranahans... But my goto liquor in the winter is canadian mist and coke.

I don't get the attraction to Stranahan's. I think it's one of the harshest whiskeys I've ever tasted. And at $50+ per bottle? Forget it. I bought a bottle, had one shot and gave it away.

I stick to Buffalo Trace and Bulleit.

Wow. There are so many. As a general mixing beverage I prefer Jack Daniels and it is great for just sipping, Jefferson's Reserve is excellent for sipping and has some initial bite with a sweet orange finish I like very much. I like scotches for drinking straight (over ice or with water) and single malts are my favorites because of their distinctiveness in flavor over blends. They are my preferred drink with cigars. I would suggest that you do a little research on the various regions because there are wide differences in taste from region to region. 12 years or older tend to be smoother. Most will be in the $45 to $75 range.

My experience is that any whiskey that comes in a "Wine" bottle ain't worth the time.

Being from Chattanooga George Dickel has and always will be my favorite, jack is up there too. I drank so much jim when I was stationed in Germany I can't drink it anymore

When I lived in Bardstown, we used to drive out to Bullit county and buy a keg of whiskey, mix it with Mountain dew and get (***** ******-***** ****) drunk.

for those NOT in the know, straight barrel whiskey will kill most people.

There are establishments that will occasionally do whiskey tasting and education sessions. Up here in Ft. Collins, Wilbur's Total Beverage work with various restaurants, brewers, wineries and distillers and have "guided" tasting and spirit educational events. Finding a place near you that hosts these events will go a long way to helping you to start out the right way for finding the taste that you like.

Bulleit and when a bottle can be had Alberta Premium(only available in Canada), prefer Rye whiskey over Corn.

Glenlivet 18 yr, french oak . MMMMMMMMMMMM.

Good thing you aren't most people.

Stanahan's=Diesel fuel. Never understood the allure. Plus they were bought out by Proximo Beverage, a NY company.

Top of the list:

Whiskey
Knob Creek
Buffalo Trace
Old Crow
Jameson

Whisky
Dewars
Balvenie 10yr

Basil is a favorite of mine.
Van winkle is also one I keep a few bottles of.
Those of you who have had Stranahans. The pre sellout were very good. Almost scotch like. The new stuff would be good for degreasing...
