Validus 0 Posted January 8, 2006 I don't mean Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. I mean a good quality 12 year old aged single malt or blended scotch. I've been trying different brands and so far my favorite blend is J. Walker Black Label, aged 12 years and very good with ice and a cigar. So far the best single malt I've had is Connemara from Cooley's based in Ireland. It has a very smooth peaty taste and isn't for the casual drinker ($47.99 a bottle) but well worth the price. I've also found that I enjoy a good stout beer, mainly Guiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted January 8, 2006 Haven't tried any of the good stuff. Cheap scotch is the best I've done so far, but I would hardly call myself a connoisseur of fine liquor, either. I am but an infrequent drinker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Phaserman 0 Posted January 9, 2006 I haven't tried any of the good stuff. Jim and Jack are usually what I stick to when I'm not downing Jose or Patrone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted January 9, 2006 You can't go wrong with a bottle of Crown Royal Whisky which is distilled not too far from where I live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APW 0 Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Tried it once or twice as a teenager. Didn't really like Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. Actually, I tried tons of liquor between 17-and-21 and only found one palatable...Chekov's beloved "Wodka". And I don't even like that too much. I'm a soda pop man. Nothing girly like Pepsi, though. I'm hard core. It's coke straight...or nothing at all. And just between us....sometimes I drink it warm! Yep. Nothing soft about APW.

Stephen of Borg 2 Posted January 9, 2006 the only thing I used to drink when I did drink was Vodka mixed with Mountain Dew. Don't drink anymore so I've never had Whiskey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted January 9, 2006 I've wanted to try that...Is it as good as the hype? For sure. It is definitely one of the best brands out there. From their website: F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, the world's leading authority on spirits, awarded Crown Royal a three-star (recommended) rating in its definitive 2004 retasting program and described it as a "lovely low-key whisky." Crown Royal Special Reserve was awarded a five-star (highest recommendation) rating in the same program and was described as "Canada's foremost whisky" and "nothing short of incredible."

Glenfiddich WOW, the 30 year old stuff is over $300.00 now. It sure has gone up in the last 20 years. Edited January 9, 2006 by Data Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted January 9, 2006 So whats wrong with Jack and Jim, if thats what you like, then more power to you, one thing I know the Price of something doesnt mean its better, alot of the time you just pay for the name, for a shot that will kick you in the Nuts, jack Daniels is the way to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Single malt scotch has a smooth taste and is worth the price. Now if you were talking about brandy, I would not waste the money for the expensive stuff. But good scotch is a pleasure. Actually I like good Irish too, val. Edited January 9, 2006 by Data Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For that, I may need to convince ol' Squiddy to go out to Foremost and pick up some Crown Royaale (to quote Big and Rich). Takara, I can't speak for Jimmy, but you've got me wanting to try a shot of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishfire 2 Posted January 12, 2006 Personally, I'm a rum person myself. Usually if I drink wiskey, I go with SoCo 100. (The 100 proof type of Southern Comfort.) Some people find SoCo way to sweet, and with the regular kind I agree. But the 100 proof kind, mixed with cola, will knock you on your @$$. :P All this talk about whiskey I might try some. :P Oh if i was single :( B) :lol: Try a Black Velvet and Ginger Ale, good Whiskey drink or a BVB, Thats a Shot of Black Velvet and Butterscotch Schnapps (SP) If you like Black Velvet, try it with root beer. Barq's is the best. It's actually pretty dang good. Dammit, now I want to have a Velvet Beer.... :o :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's too bad about not being able to drink tequilla anymore. I know a wonderful mixed drink that has tequilla but I don't recommend making it at home. It's called a Paralyzer. It's 1 ounce tequilla (or vodka but tequilla's better), 1 ounce Kahlua and equal parts milk and coke (it doesn't seem to work well unless it's the fountain coke). It's excellent. I haven't had it for a while... probably around 12 years ago... that would be about 9 months before my daughter was born I think. Just kidding!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
