Lounge! What's your favorite Whiskey

[nemo137]

I won some money in an essay contest, so I got a bottle of Knob Creek, although my stand-bys (when I don't have the extra money) are Old Crow and Jim Beam.

What's your drink?

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. Tullamore Dew n/t

[Chan790]

2. Fuck yes...

this is THE stuff. I love it.

BTW, did you get any sleep finally?

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. Yes I did thank you....

but only 3 hours last night.

I will probably be able to return to semi-normal tonight. Thanks for asking.

I love the Dew...was introduced to it to college and drink it on rare occasions now. :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

47. I have heard that is really good

one of these days I should try it.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

54. Tullamore Dew

You've got good taste, philboy.

[JTG of the PRB]

4. I like Jameon's Irish Whiskey quite a bit.

Though, I will admit, my whiskey pallet is still very unrefined.

[Cant trust em]

6. I could have posted the same thing

Jameson is good, but I'm far from an aficionado.

[qwertyMike]

8. Too Smoky

[Cant trust em]

9. Smoothness going down.

That's about the only thing that I'm concerned with.

[qwertyMike]

41. Chivas

Regal

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Whiskey tastes like varnish remover to me.

Or maybe battery acid. Give me a nice gin & tonic.

[Pierre.Suave]

7. See, to me, thats how the gin and tonic tastes...

my standard drink is Johnny Walker Black.

From there I go up to Jameson, Makers Mark, Johnny Walker Blue, etc..

I have had 2 bottles of Blue (at $200 a pop) in my life.

[nemo137]

12. I thought about buying Blue when I got my tax refund.

Couldn't do it.

[Pierre.Suave]

36. HAHA

as much of a celebration as that is, I don't think it is worth a $200 bottle of whiskey.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Jameson.

[quip]

11. Infrantamee Whiskey -- that's my favorite!

:9

[nemo137]

13. What's that?

n/t

[quip]

16. I like Whiskey Infrantamee. Don't you?

:shrug: ;)

[nemo137]

29. Ah. Damn. Thick tonight, I guess.

At least you didn't make that damn frontal lobotomy joke.

[OmahaBlueDog]

14. Johnny Walker Black

[Inchworm]

15. Black Label Jim Beam

as far as legal whiskey.. err.. bourbon.

My favorite will always be real good moonshine.

:hi:

[nemo137]

30. Tried moonshine once, actually.

Never again.

[Pierre.Suave]

37. Once was enough for me too

yuck.

[Inchworm]

38. It has to be good shine

Not the stuff they sell, the stuff they drink.

Smooth as water.. actually water is chaser :D

:toast:

[Pierre.Suave]

39. The stuff I had was made

homemade, literally in a still.

It was awful and awful strong. I do not need anymore of that.

[nemo137]

53. Mine too

This young lady I know was having a (I think Birthday) party, and her dad, being a good guy said "oh, don't waste your money on booze, take this" and gives her some two-liter sprite bottles full of moonshine.

It was an experience.

[Lil Missy]

17. I tried Jack Daniels about 25 years ago and got sicker than holy shit.

No whiskey for me since then. :puke:

[leftofthedial]

18. Bushmills Irish Whiskey

is my usual.

Haven't been able to afford it much lately.

[Hobarticus]

19. Jumpin' Jack Daniels...

Let's booze up and riot!

[meegbear]

42. That's burboun ...

I know, cuz that's my drink.

[Hobarticus]

45. Jack is not a bourbon...

Right up to the mellowing process, it is very similar to bourbon, but that's where the lineage ends. All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon.

[ovidsen]

68. Yep, strictly speaking, Jack isn't a bourbon

But it is a whisky. And it happens to be my favorite. Or at least tied with Wild Turkey.

Straight. No ice, Maybe a beer chaser (preferably a Sam Adams product).

NO Budweiser or Miller Lite. Gawd that stuff is awful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. *Jack Daniels*

I don't drink it very often, but it's the best!

Gentleman Jack is also very good...:9

:toast:

[1]

21. if i must, evan "freekin" williams...

a true sour mash bourbon, yeah only 4 years old, but half the cost of jack, 86 proof, and it gets the job done quickly and quite nicely.

i defy any whiskey snobs here to have a problem with this one...

[Reverend_Smitty]

26. Evan is teh shit!

I keep a 1.5L bottle under my bar at all times...I also have a 12 year old single barrel Evan Williams which is really nice.

I love whiskey, I drink it on the rocks all the time :9

[1]

27. best kept secret in the bourbon world...

but let those that buy jack and makers at two or three times the price live in their fantasy world...

heh!

[Reverend_Smitty]

28. I think Evan is a bit smoother on the rocks than Jack

I prefer to drink Jack with some sort of mixer whereas as this picture can attest, Evan is like mother's milk...


Evan Williams and Ramen noodles kept me alive in college...good times...

[nemo137]

31. I've only ever seen the 80 proof kind here

Which is the same price as Old Crow, but not as tasty.

[opiate69]

22. Maker's Mark.

[Initech]

23. The ol' standby: Jack Daniels

But I'd avoid his older brother Gentlemen Jack! He fucks you up big time!

[Broken_Hero]

24. Crown Royal, nt

[XemaSab]

25. Talisker's

:9

[krispos42]

32. Favorite whiskey?

The brown ones. :-)

[nemo137]

33. Respectable.

[krispos42]

34. I'm just being silly

Actually don't have one, really, but I used to enjoy Lord Calvert and Pepsi.


:hide:

[nemo137]

35. Speaking as someone who usually balks at paying more that 12$/5th

I cannot fault you on that choice.

[geardaddy]

40. Anything with "The" in the name...

[meegbear]

43. Bushmills ...

good stuff.

[lost-in-nj]

44. a friend brought this over for Thanksgiving

it was awful...


so if I had to choose
it would be any of the colors of Johnnie Walker
I got them all

along with vast quantities of Jack Daniels....
that the soon to be ex left here...

:hi:



lost

[nemo137]

52. Silver lining, then.

Sheep Dip, though? Where's it from?

[Iggo]

46. Back when I drank....

...it was Jack or nothing.

[ceile]

48. Jamesons or Paddys n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. Woodford Reserve. Love it.

Though Knob Creek is also wonderful, and so is Maker's Mark.

[texas1928]

50. Maker's Mark.

[EstimatedProphet]

51. Irish: Knappogue Castle; Bourbon: Noah's Mill

[oedura]

55. I'm not fond of any alcoholic beverages...

...but when I do drink, it's usually a little Grey Goose vodka with a lot of orange juice or lemonade.

[nemo137]

56. I can't really tell vodkas apart, I'm afraid

Which is why I stick with bourbon. I'm led to understand that Grey Goose is very good, though.

[DarkTirade]

57. I actually don't know the name of the last one I tried that I REALLY liked

but it was rather expensive. :) Just got a glass of it at a pub, and since I was going to be driving, I only had a sip. Or two. But it was REALLY smooth. Just melted in my mouth.

For mixing with eggnog during the holidays I usually use Bushmill's. But I don't like that one as much for drinking straight.

[noel711]

58. Jamies.... (that's what we call it)

and perhaps today is a good day to pick up a bottle...

[Hand]

59. Scotch: Laphroaig Bourbon: Jack Daniels

My, I am imaginative, ain't I? :boring:

[MilesColtrane]

60. Sour Mash...Jack Daniels...good for shots and indiscriminate partying.

Kentucky Bourbon...Woodford Reserve...good for special occasions.

Scotch Whiskey...The Glenlivet.

Irish Whiskey...I don't drink it.

[Phillycat]

61. Back when I drank, Jim Beam was my drink.

Chilled shots of Jim Beam. Lots of 'em.

It's been almost 5 years since my last drink. I don't miss it. But I do miss the smell of whiskey the tiniest little bit.

[nemo137]

67. Good job on the 5 years, friend.

[swag]

62. Cardhu 12-year scotch, though I don't drink whiskey any more

because I fall off the edge too easily.

[azmouse]

63. Pappy Van Winkle bourbon

Elisha Craig is a close second.

[kernelfarmer]

64. beer

[nemo137]

66. beer? Sir! If I asked what your favorite cut of steak was, would you say "tartare?"

Seriously, though, what kind of beer?

[bigwillq]

65. Jameson (nt)

[ellisonz]

69. Wild Turkey 101.

Fuck your liver.
