Simple question.

I'll go with my 151, tastes so good, and you can get a decent buzz off it fairy easily, good for parties.

A good Scottish whiskey, such as Famous Grouse, or Glenfiddich. But I think that's classed as a spirit.

There's no "e" in Scottish whisky ;)

After a bit, you can't taste the difference between 151 and turpentine.

More a spirit, but Tobermory.

Baker's James B. Beam Distilling Co. (107 proof) Aged 7 years. Elegant and well balanced on the palate, with a clean finish that follows round smooth flavours of vanilla and caramel. Baker's Bourbon follows the Beam family traditions of putting our best secrets inside the bottle, not here on the label. They have distilled six generations of Bourbon skill into this bottle. That's a lot of good secrets. Please savor its smooth flavor over ice, with a splash of water, or however you take your Bourbon. 107 Proof

Spirits are liquors, although liquors are not necessarily spirits. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_beverage) Personally, I don't know if I could choose between Oban and Lagavulin.

Thoes are only alright Whisky's

The Balvenie 12 year doublewood is an absolutly fantastic Scotch

As is Glenmorangie 12 and 15 year

Dalmore makes a great cigar scotch

And for an isle laphroaig if you like isle scotches (not as many do like a true isle scotch)

Whaler's Vanilla Rum
Glenlivet Nadurra 16yr. Scotch.
Bombay Sapphire Gin
Level Vodka

there is no good tequila.

I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!

Sharptruce

The only one good enough to have a color named after it. :)

You're on, sonny. If you have to pay $60+ to get a bottle of Reposado or even Anejo that doesn't feel like bleach going down your throat just to mix a TOLERABLE cocktail, then the spirit itself is at fault.

Other way 'round, and "Chartreuse".

151 is the devil...

Chartreuse is my favorite. It tastes like tea... only it tries to claw a hole through your stomach.

Do you mean chartreuse? That is a liqueur not liquor.

Sorry for not having the bottle in front of me. And I go to American Public School, so cut me some slack. :D

Chartreuse is my favorite. It tastes like tea... only it tries to claw a hole through your stomach.

No kidding! If you like that, try the Czech "digestive" liqueur called Becherovka. Clove and other spices. It is fan-damn-tastic straight or slightly dilute with soda.

I dunno, I'm pretty fond of Petron, and I've never had the... Experience that you described.

And I'm talking straight Petron. Then again, I chug straight vodka with no worries.

Uh...I went to one, too. You're online. Google is your friend. Next excuse?

Talisker or Aberlour

And for an isle laphroaig if you like isle scotches (not as many do like a true isle scotch)

I cut my teeth on Laphroaig, it is very good, but I think the Ardberg is a better Islay malt.

You're on, sonny. If you have to pay $60+ to get a bottle of Reposado or even Anejo that doesn't feel like bleach going down your throat just to mix a TOLERABLE cocktail, then the spirit itself is at fault.

Exactly, the only time i drink is at parties, and if you think about it, 151 is about twice the strength of any Vodka or Tequila, there for its a better value. And tastes like bleach anyway.

I will concede with Jack Daniels I guess

I so need to get a new lunchtime drink :( *cue suggestions*

its called salt and lime you should of heard of those

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend, but everyone raves about these $25 bottles of advanced Cuervo or other brands, and the shit makes me cringe just smelling it. I have tasted some very good tequila, but it came in cardboard cylinders with fancy labeling and cost WAY too much. I figured that if you need that much refinement and that much money just to be tolerably drinkable, I'll pass.

Yeah, that's my problem with it, too (and it's Patron, not Petron --- no idea why I typed it with an E). It's exactly why I won't be buying any for my 21st. A decent vodka can be bought for under $10, so it's quite a bit more economical. However, the vodka we get is still nothing like the real Russian stuff. Even so, I'll be buying some for my party.

And I'll have a keg, hopefully full of Guinness.

People bang on about stuff like Richard Hennessy and whatnot. And while I do like the odd drop of Lagavulin once in a while, to the extent I drink liquor these days its Johnnie Walker Black.

So I'll say Johnnie Walker Black is the best.

I really far prefer wine though.

Actually, that's a good point. Who uses tequila in cocktails? Tequila makes a great chaser for beer...it's not the spirit at fault, it's how you use it.

Okay, you've missed my point. If the spirit has to have help in order to make it drinkable, it's not worth my time or my money.

Good man.

What about when you're in the mood for something sweet?

They had this stuff a while back, Ke-Ke Beach, that tasted like a Key Lime pie in a glass. I love lime (favorite drink is a gimlet or kamikaze), so it was a natural match. It fell out of fad, so it's gone now. When I want citrus and sweet, I settle for Limoncello.

Actually, that's a good point. Who uses tequila in cocktails? Tequila makes a great chaser for beer...it's not the spirit at fault, it's how you use it.

Tequila Sunrise ?

Tequila Sunrise ?

I've heard of it, I've just never actually heard of anyone making, or drinking, one.

To be honest, they are absolutely foul. Pretty popular in the early 80s though.

I have seen the results of Tequila and beer in the same stomach. I have cleaned up after those results...

My 22nd birthday, my friends ordered me a drink consisting of 151, southern comfort and tequila... and immediately following, another friend(?) gave me a shot of straight 151 which effectively ended my evening at that pub.

I know, 3 shots can get me pretty fucked up, 2 shots a person normally gets most ppl decently drunk, so you can have a decent sized get together on 2 bottles.

Maker's Mark is always a sure bet for me. Nothing like a nice glass of bourbon.

I second this motion. Becherovka's awesome.

We must run in different circles. I've never had, nor seen, a problem with beer and tequila. Beer and wine on the other hand....let's just say the hotel made me pay to replace the towels.

Gin.

Vodka is great too.

And since this is a liquor thread, I has queschun.

I om nom nomed half a bottle of silver tequila the other night and had no horrible experiences. Why does everyone dread tequila?:confused:

I cut my teeth on Laphroaig, it is very good, but I think the Ardberg is a better Islay malt.

Its up there ... another fav of mine :) though harder to get around here surpisingly .

Maker's Mark is always a sure bet for me. Nothing like a nice glass of bourbon.

Mine is Baker's (earlier in the thread). I don't for the life of me understand people who drink gin, or even scotch.

More's the pity. Have you considered moving?

I find it goes better with pipes and cigars than scotch does.

Because it is good? I am a whiskey and whisky fan about every type. When you have a good pallet it is often nice to go from a relitivly plain burbon or canadian to something with a bit more complexity like a scotch

Its all got its place :)

I find it goes better with pipes and cigars than scotch does.

depends on the scotch ...

Pipes for sure are better with a burbon but good cigar malts tend to be a bit better then burbon. Not by a crazy ammount though both go great with Cigars

The ideal evening is to go to the Capitol Grille for aged porterhouse steaks (and a few suitable sides), then retire to the bar for a smoke and a good glass.

I have to second the bourbon....Love makers mark, also found a bottle of canadian club under my father in laws sink that had been there since 1967......talk about smooth. I also like seagrams 7 with a splash of 7 up. As far as tequila goes to me unless its an off brand that I have never heard or a designer tequila, theres not a big difference. Also my father used to have a friend who lived in tennessee who periodically sent mason jars full of home made mash to him. The taste left a bit to be desired but since i was only 21 at the time i was more interested in the buzz. That stuff made me climb trees and howl at the moon:p

Change the bar and you have a good night for me to :) though to be honest I only have a cigar about once every 4 months ... I got a good taste for them but in general I dont smoke only for very special occations

But other then that a good cut of steak, medium rare and followed by a good glass of whiskey (or whisky) as a follow up is absolutly a great way to spend an evening

Hell a big fan of the out in the sunday sun ... nice spring afternoon, couple of big steaks and some nice dark beer and a webber grill as well

Canadian club is not "smooth" its not bad but McMasters is a bit better for really really really cheep whisky

Dont get me wrong for manhatins and Whiskey cokes I like a good CC or RR or McMasters but they are not up there on the quality list

I'm a Knob Hill drinker. Just about any small batch bourbon is worth trying, though.

It's a lot better than drinking water that's been filtered through peat.

If you are going 100+ proof burbons I preffer bookers myself

does anyone love Chambord as much as me? i know it's a fruit liquer but, i love it in cocktails. i love a really good Glenlivet or a Talisker as much as the next person but sometimes i just fancy something a bit more fru fru ;)

I always go for absinthe. I think it´s the best liquor.

No, because then I would have to turn in my man card.

ah common the times have changed fellas are supposed to be more in touch e.t.c ... no?

ah common the times have changed fellas are supposed to be more in touch e.t.c ... no?

It depends. If you're a metrosexual (in touch), the Chambord is probably ok. But due to my age, I'm a retrosexual.

i don't think i really qualify as a metrosexual but maybe;)
intangelon thinks bombay saphire is the best gin, i think it's Tanqueray am i right?

Hm... I kind of like this drink you´re describing. Vodka with fresh apple juice. Sounds yummy.

As for vodka, I´m not much of a conossieur. (and I´m sure I murdered that word) I´ve had Finlandia vodka, Stolichnaya and Popov (which I regret!).

stolichnaya is delicious, so is wyborova (another polish one) oh and grey goose for are really good dirty martini, think i need a drink RIGHT NOW :D

does champagne count as liquor? if so then it's vintage pink Krug all the way baby! ambrosia :D or a blanc de blancs of the same

I don't think there was a problem with the beer and the vodka until we ran out of fruit juice to mix with the vodka. Somewhow there was then born the brilliant idea of mixing the vodka and the beer in the same cup.

I don't think I've ever had beer and wine in the same sitting. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of either one to begin with.

I love it! I have it with some ice to wash away the taste of bitter liquors when I'm in the mood for an alcohol binge and a hospital stay the next morning.

I also like Cuervo Gold Tequila.

You can buy absinthe on the island of St. Maarten, on the Caribbean. Or, of course, come to Europe and have some. The US should allow people to buy absinthe over there.

When you have the chance, try El Jimador Tequila, it´s excellent.

There's no "e" in Scottish whisky ;)

In fact it's just called Scotch.

If you are looking for a liquor to get drunk and a bit of a buzz quickly then look no further then either Schnapps or maybe Brandy or Scotch. OF course I don't mind drinking some of the Drambuie or even a chocolate liquor I have in my bar.

Maker's Mark is always a sure bet for me. Nothing like a nice glass of bourbon.

Good call. I like Maker's as well as Phillips Union and George Dickel.

Gin.

Cheater! I saw you palm that six of spades!

Vodka is great too.

I don't dread it, I think that it tastes like shit until you spend over $60 a bottle. That's not booze, that's a damned investment.

Simple question.

I'll go with my 151, tastes so good, and you can get a decent buzz off it fairy easily, good for parties.

Once anything is more than 50% alcohol, it all tastes the same. Courvoisier, rum, nail polish remover, etc...

Hard liquor only tastes as good as the stuff you add to it that makes it not taste like alcohol.

Connoisseurs don't usually refer to whisky as Scotch.

I was always a Cpatain Morgan's kinda guy.

And Crown Royal.. straight with no ice.

I don't think there was a problem with the beer and the vodka until we ran out of fruit juice to mix with the vodka. Somewhow there was then born the brilliant idea of mixing the vodka and the beer in the same cup.That reminds me of a night when my roommate and I were bored and decided to make the worst drink possible. After much consideration, we decided it was a shot of ice cold vodka mixed with a shot of just melted butter. He made the mistake of gagging and that hellish concoction shot through his nasal cavities.

I've always wanted to try absinthe, but unfortunately, it's illegal here in the U.S.:(You can buy all the separate parts in the U.S. and make it yourself relatively easy. Not to mention, I think the laws are beginning to loosen. I enjoy it, but then again, I like the taste of black licorice.

In fact it's just called Scotch.
It's called whisky. Or uisge-beatha (pronounced ieesh-ka baah) if your from the Western Isles/a poncy Scot.

And it kicks the shit.

Rum.


Doesnt matter what kind. I like Cpt Morgan. But Rum in general is where its at. Or a good german beer.

easy, Stoli vodka

I only drink at parties but where beer is concerned nothing beats Newcastle Brown Ale (even tho a 6 pack costs like $15 here).

Oh and word to the wise: STAY AWAY FROM SMIRNOFF STRAWBERRY. Seriously I took a shot of that stuff last night just to see what it tasted like and there are no words to describe the disgust of the aftertaste.

Johnny Walker Black Label.

Bénédictine, obviously.

Hm... I kind of like this drink you´re describing. Vodka with fresh apple juice. Sounds yummy.

As for vodka, I´m not much of a conossieur. (and I´m sure I murdered that word) I´ve had Finlandia vodka, Stolichnaya and Popov (which I regret!).

Gotta say, we don't agree on much, but we both have good taste in drinks! :cool:

Stay away from Newcastle Brown Ale. Seriously. It's nasty stuff and has unpleasant side effects. Like the uncontrollable desire to race pigeons or own a whippet.

I've always wanted to try absinthe, but unfortunately, it's illegal here in the U.S.:(

Why does the US hate freedom so much? Absinthe is lovely - all that stuff about it making you mad is cupboard. Bibble.

St. George Spirits Whiskey. I believe it's Irish style. Good rum is always fun, vodka is good for mixing some drinks.

Personally I hate bourbon.

Actually, absinthe was just legalized.

As far as rum goes, give Sailor Jerry's a try, stronger then the captain and around the same price, and tastes great.

But wouldn't it be Scotch Whisky? To show the difference between Scotch whisky and Irish whisky? Or is it when it is Irish spelt with an 'e'? And then what about Tennesee Whisky? or is that with an 'e'?

Please help while I drink this glass of Brandy, no one can say I have that wrong. Or can they?

Jack Daniels Whiskey OR Captain Morgan Gold Spiced Rum. Call me lame but they're both goooood

I know, 3 shots can get me pretty fucked up, 2 shots a person normally gets most ppl decently drunk, so you can have a decent sized get together on 2 bottles. Lightweight :p

Sourz are nice, but at only 15% don’t think they count as spirits. I do like a bit of Irish Cream Whiskey but to be honest not a big liquor drinker. You sort of go off it when your 14, drink a bottle of £10 famous grouse and spend the rest of the night with a bucket and three gallons of water.

The absolute (no pun intended) best of the best Vodka? Chopin...100% pure Polish potato vodka...Kettle One is a fair sub though...

BTW If you got the balls, Absynth can be aquired over the internet (fuck homeland security:upyours:)...I got some from the Czeck Republic, that and some Cannibus Vodka, they sent it marked as tinciture (sp?) for health (tee-hee) The vodka was a novelty, It tasted like crap...Really cool label though...:D

Absinthe is gradually becoming legal in the United States.

When I mean shots, I mean those big Amusement park ones you can get that are twice the size, still lightweight I know, but still, I dont drink enough to be able to pound that stuff :)


Try a " Joltbomb "

6-7 shots of your fave hard shit, then mix in half a can of jolt. its damn good.

But wouldn't it be Scotch Whisky? To show the difference between Scotch whisky and Irish whisky? Or is it when it is Irish spelt with an 'e'? And then what about Tennesee Whisky? or is that with an 'e'?
Scottish whisky is always without an 'e', while Irish and American whiskey always has an 'e'.

But then why wouldn't it just be called Scotch?
Because that's not its name.

If anything, it should be called 'Scottish'. There is no such place as Scotchland, nor are there any people know as the Scotch.

Anybody here into cocktails? I'm partial to whiskey sours.

I also invented my own cocktail drink called Lake Water, cuz it looks like lake water. Heres how I make it:

1 part Sprite or 7up
1 part Golden Grain or Everclear
1 part red hot mix
1 part melon liquor
1 part Yeager
1 part butterscotch

Looks like muddy water, but it tastes like candy.

And yet we have such things as Scotch sausages. Considering that not only people on here but many other people around the world have called it Scotch Whisky or simply Scotch I do not think that is the right answer and I am sure there is some explanation as to why Scotch is appropriate to use rather than Scottish.

Because people are lazy and there's not much else in the drinking world that begins with the word "Scotch," so simply saying the word makes it pretty clear what is meant, despite the fact that the full name is "Scotch Whisky" (meaning in the strictest sense "from Scotland" or in the more loose sense "in the Scottish style").

The spelling of the word "Whisky" or "Whiskey" is just a regional preference that became formalized. Same as the difference in spelling between British and American English on all sorts of things. It's just that the product in question has differences in style that correlate with the same boundaries that the difference in spelling does, which is why only Scotch is spelled without the "e".

Port good. Whiskey good. Sake good. Zinfandel (and a few others) good. Fire Water chased with Zinfandel = best.
