Whisky/Whiskey Drinkers

[Deleted Account]

How many whisky drinkers do we have on here? I did a search of the forum and saw this topic pop up from a few years ago, so I thought I'd revive it. I myself love Scotch, especially Islay whiskies.

Though my go to for an everyday budget whisky is Teacher's Highland Cream, I've recently developed a taste for Tullamore D.E.W.

My favorite budget Islay is Lagavulin 8, but I would say the Ardbeg Uigeadail is one of the best I've ever had. If I want a real kick in the teeth, I go for the Ardbeg Corryvreckan.

What's your drink of choice?

Old  # 7..... I also like Crown Royal and some of the other blends...I can get by quite nicely with Black Velvet...

I  like GOOD Scotch whisky, but cannot afford it, and cheap Scotch tastes like s**t...

I saw that, but it looks like it hasn't been posted in for over a year.

Don't be too hard on cheap Scotches, there are some good inexpensive blends to be had. Teachers is around $20 a bottle and is delicious. Talisker is a great Island single malt, and Talisker Storm can be found for under $40. Empire Wine and Spirits even has the Lagavulin 8 for $40.

I'm a Jim Beam Maple, Old Camp Peach Pecan guy if I can help it. Actually drinking some old camp as I type this. On the rocks of course. I'm not a big spender on my whiskey's and I typically like them around 70 proof for straight sipping, if it tastes good and is smooth I'll drink it.

Elijah Craig was one of my favorite cheaper whiskeys.
Glenmorangie was my favorite scotch.

I never tasted much of a difference between true higher end stuff and the “cheaper” stuff. I certainly FELT the difference the next day

Not whiskey or beer. Just bottled up this today. Aged 3 years sweet elderberry wine. I usually don't make sweet wines.

I am a little hesitant to try teachers...I was married to one for 35 years  ...

Who needs three watches .....

Here’s the bottle from euchre last Sat night . 

I also like Hibiki , by Suntory when I can find it .

Forty Creek is good easy drinking cheap bottle as well .

[grampy]

When I do partake, I like a sippin whiskey like Crown Royal. Straight up in a rock glass, no ice.

[squirrelwhisperer]

Only one drink for me

[left field]

I drink Lagavulin almost daily. Laphroaig Cask Strength on the other days. I like peat, smoke and iodine.

Still have an unopened bottle of Laphroaig 30 Year Old. Last of three I bought 10 year ago. As I recall, $250 each. Just looked online and the price is anywhere from $1000 - $3000. Waiting for a special moment to crack this.

My take....the more they advertise it, the crappier the brand. Famous Grouse is a great inexpensive Scotch.

I tend to prefer bourbon more though, personal favorite is Woodford Reserve, but my wife bought me a bottle of 1792 for xmas, and that is very good, and reasonable.  Crown Royal in its different varieties is a good deal for the money, and when I can find it I like Gibsons (but Gibsons is more of a tribute for compatriots known, as it was his favorite drink).

I've got 4, I do like my Swiss Army watches

I've never tried the Double Wood, but I've heard good things.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Im a Crown guy mostly, but Jack, Jim and Johnny are also in the running when I want something different. If its a choice between drinking really cheap whisky or not drinking anything, I wont drink anything.

I'm spoiled and I'll just leave it at that....lol
