Tonight I have a glass of straight Lagavulin in front of me. What are you guys into?

Pics or it didn't happen
Ancnoc at the moment. In Scottish glass.

I'm a bourbon man. I'm not picky, Jim Beam on the rocks usually gets the job done. Sometimes I'll splurge and get something fancier like Maker's Mark. I'll also drink the occasional Jameson or Dewars.

saturday, my friend had a small bottle of 12 yr old whiskey, it was pretty tasty as far as whiskey goes. almost as smooth as gentlemans jack. not nearly as smooth as the weedrum though

Gut shots or you're drinking a rehoused, liquified Behringer.

I love Lagavulin. Give me a peaty, gnarly tasting scotch any day! My wife makes fun of me because I look for scotch/whiskey that tastes like "tree bark."

I also love Red Breast and have been getting in to straight gin lately too (Hendrix on ice...mmm).

p-wats, if you really dig smoky wood, you gotta try Laphroiag. The 12 year is a good starting point. Like a glass of peat!

I love Laphroaig! Had a bottle of it at our wedding specifically for that reason...too bad my uncle got to it and down it went (and down he went).

what's a wedding without a drunk uncle? If he hadn't been able to make it, you might have needed an annulment just so you could do it again.

I discovered the new white whiskeys this past week. My first was Death's Door - a really spectacular taster. Spicy and smooth, with flavors of corn, grain, and fresh hay. Like a really good smelling barn, if such a thing existed. But no wood, so not your cup of tea .... er... bark.

Ah yes, almost all the stuff from Islay is awesome and smoky hehe.

Last time I had whisky was in college, Crown Royal. As I recall we were sitting in a field passing the bottle around and one of the dudes in the group decided he would go cow tipping. It was practically pitch black. Dude tried to push on this cow but nothing happened. We were all pulling for him, the loveable loser that he was

Anyway, this could be my most useless post ever....and that is saying something.

I'm a fan of the Johnny Walker Black, and the Green as well... I find myself enjoying scotch, mostly.

Although, I'm a pretty big fan of Bookers, Maker's Mark, and some others too.

Kunfuz, I love that there is a sippy cup behind your Whiskey

I had some Johnny Walker Green Label the other night, that was nice..

My gal loves Scotch, especially Glenlivet. I bought her the 18yo stuff once, she was pretty happy

Hahaha...didn't notice Kfuz's sippy cup. He must switch over to that when he gets really hammered. Waste not want not after all

Dang! Not many girls dig the scotch, my man..

Tennesee White Lightning - just about out of it. Expecting a run to resupply in March...

She's also a big fan of Jägermeister!

Just Ms PPG and my mom.....wait.....




nah.......



nah.....no way........

Hahaha... You'll never know til you go on Maury or Jerry Springer and get blood tested.

Wasn't there a show "Who's Your Daddy" that was on last year?

Hahaha, I don't doubt it. I remember when most of those were actually super clean, family friendly shows. Crazy what sells, huh?

Yes!

Well you know what they say, guys who love bourbon don't really like scotch, and guys who love scotch don't really like bourbon. So I'm trouble because I love BOTH! Each has their merits. I prefer scotch to bourbon, and at that I prefer the smoky peaty Islays as well.

Lagavulin 16 year is my absolute favorite. I do like the Laphroig, but as a slightly less expensive substitute for the Lagavulin. It's great in it's own right but for me the Lagavulin gets the edge over everything else I've ever tried. I've been out of it for a while now, too expensive to replace any time I feel like it ya know?

I'm also digging the Oban I picked up recently. Quite nice. Smooth, but still has body and some smoke. It's gotta have smoke, or it just tastes like canadian whisky. Which is also all good and all, but for me again it's all about smoke and peat.

One Islay I've been able to get fairly cheap (~USD$25) is McClelland's. They don't list the age on the bottle, so it's whatever is the minimum for it to be legally scotch. But it is a true single malt, it is made on Islay, and it does have a good peaty smoky flavor to it. And it's not too smooth. I have this issue with scotch that's too smooth for whatever reason. It's also got a salt note to it, the only other scotch I've had that had the same salt air note to it was Highland Park maybe? While it was awesome, it was a hell of a lot more expensive (like $90).

Bourbon - love the Makers Mark like everyone else. Also a huge fan of Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Maple Hill, and my absolute top is Michters. Can't beat it. It's the only bourbon I can drink without ice. My scotch I can't drink with ice....

Crown Royal Black is my main squeeze. 90 proof and very smooth. Also enjoy very dark aged rums such as Appleton Estate or Cruzan to change things up once in a while. One builds up a tolerance if you don't switch up every once in a while Oh and some nice Grey Goose goes pretty good sometimes.

I'm partial to single malt scotch.
I like bourbon too.

You guys got me inspired:
