Greatest Spirit

I got inspired by the "Which Whiskey?" thread and decided to poll the world (or at least NS) on which alcoholic spirit is the best. Each type of booze has its own benefits but which one reigns supreme?

Well, what is it? Me, I prefer a good rum (note: not Bacardi) over anything.

I knew you meant something other than Bacardi as soon as you used the word 'good' to describe the rum...

How about Mount Gay?

I do like Mount Gay. It is good stuff. Pusser's and Barbancourt are also great options.

I thought about adding that as an option but I forgot. Too late now, I guess.

Oddly enough no one has voted for the more expensive spirits.

Rum man myself, though I've yet to find an irish whiskey I'd turn down.

Sadly no on the absinthe. I'd love to try it but I do believe it's illegal here in the States, something about people drinking it seein' green fairys and all.

Damn residual influence of paranoid puritanical ideals, damn it to hell.


I wonder if it is anything like drinking shots of straight Everclear. ...that's a night I don't remember....

Ahh, absinthe. Last time I had that I was at Leeds Festival.

*relives random hallucinations*

Anyway, I drink things like hobgoblin on principle, but for a spirit I'd choose cognac. Or glenmorangie



Such an old man's choices for one so young...(17) :D

Bourbon. Wild Turkey, Maker's Mark, Heaven Hill, Labrot and Graham. It is an exceptional drink.

I could not put everything in the poll so I just put in the basics. The stuff that is the most common.
