any whisky drinkers?

[visualizeperfection]

I do drink in a very conservative manner. I have all but stopped drinking beer, and replaced it with having a whisky or two neat.

I have gone through a couple different brands this last few months, mostly scotch's and I have found Glenmorangie to my favorite.

With the much less expensive irish whisky, Jameson a close second.

what do you fellas recommend?

back when I drank, years ago, I'd drink makers mark when I went out... second choice was knob creek, jameson was third. doubles, straight up with water on the side.

(at home it was always stoli vodka.. because nobody can smell vodka, right? lol  oh well, we all grow up sometime.)

i stopped drinking completely; depresses me.  staying and getting leaner is much easier when you don't drink; hormone-wise and calorie intake-wise.

knob is good.

vodka wreaks havoc on me the next day. ultimate dehydration even from 3 drinks.

I understand that. Im not a big drinker, but I do fancy one or two once or twice a week. I never get shitfaced though, I cant deal with hangovers anymore.

He would recommend something like -
Highland Park 12 yo for starters.

You might want to try Johnnie Walker Green, everyone seems to like it.

Glenmorangie Original 10 yo - #1 single malt in Scotland.

[TEMPER]

Most any 15 or older makes for a deep flavorful sip. That being said 15-25's start getting exponentially more spendy.
 So for a semi - daily sip you would probably want to stay around say 50$ for a bottle, and there are quite a few very nice single malt bottles to be had for 50$ or less.

My top <50$ single malts:

5. Glenlivet 12 - solid, consistent, tasty and cheap.

4. Macallan 12 - deeper and higher quality feel than the livet 12 it has a more complex profile.

3. The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 yr - very nice bottle for 50$. quality speyside for the coin.

2. Glenfarclas 12 - serious flavor, spicy woody sherry casque flavor.

1. Highland Park 12 - my drink of choice for 50$ try it and you will see it is comparable to many brands' flagship 15 for 100$ or more.

I could do my list of 100$ and up bottles which I indulge in maybe 3 times per year. Mostly 18's.

Crown Royal or Pendleton.

Yes, I love Whiskey

Jack Daniels, Canadian Club, Glenlivet, Wild Turkey

Canadian Club and Ginger Ale is my go to drink.

[Grape Ape]

Prefer bourbon over scotch

Bulleit is my current go-to, but Makers works too.  Jack, Knob Creek, Bookers, all good.

All time favorite is Eagle Rare 17, but now is up to over $100 bottle when it used to be $36.  Had Pappy once, but now it's almost impossible to get.

[SOMEPARTS]

Just preference...listed a cheaper selection and a better one. Cheaper ones for mixing obviously.


Irish - Jameson, Red Breast

USA - Jim Beam Rye, Makers Mark

Scotch - Walker Black, The Macallan

Canadian - Canadian Mist or Club, Crown Royal.

Canadian Club and Ginger Ale is my go to drink.

Jameson and a high quality ginger ale, something like Hansens with cane sugar, and a squeeze of lime is a great drink.

Im considering the highland 12.

mcallan 12 was too harsh for me tbh. wasnt pleasurable

Sounds good, I love Hensens

[visualizeperfection]

i think its called an irish mule if im not mistaken.

the quality of the ginger ale is even more important than the booze i feel though.

ginger ale is the most under appreciated soda. obviously we dont drink sugar drinks often, but if i break down and want a soda its usally ginger ale.

I would have guessed that you'd recommend 8cc's of Belvedere spot injected to the delts

well alc is sterile right?

I found the Glenlivet 18 to be worth the extra cost. Very smooth.

If you think Macallan 12 is harsh try some Laphroaig, haha.

I forgot about Bulleit as noted above. Good stuff.

Yeah, and you really can't get good ginger ale at most bars or restaurants. Irish Mule.... I didn't know that, cool

I like to have a double (or more, especially when I make it) shot of whiskey though.

Reed's ginger beer makes bar stuff taste like Sprite. It's in better grocery stores.

I think I honestly prefers hansens.

[Vita11]

If everyone did that, all the whisky makers in Scotland would go broke.
