ATTN: whisky (or whiskey) drinkers.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

I agree with the consensus. Stuff like Jameson, for me, needs no water. Some really nice scotch will open up a bit with a spoon full of water or so.

I wouldn't force my worst enemy to drink Jack Daniels even if I had just personally witnessed him kill everyone I love slowly and painfully.

[Suu]

The last time I drank a notable quantity of Jack, half a handle was gone the day Herbert and I had our court hearing. I'm pretty sure for that year following it, aside from being with GS, it had done something to my brain that made me negative and overly violent.

I had *A* Jack and Coke at my cousin's wedding, and I didn't finish it. I can't take the stuff, anymore.

The last bottle of scotch/whiskey I bought was a birthday gift.  I've just never developed a taste for it... probably because mostly what i'd been exposed to was Jack.

There are some DELICIOUS whiskeys! You've seen Richter and I geek over Balvenie Doublewood 12. That's one of my fave scotches.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I usually drink whiskey neat, though occasionally, I will have it with ice, usually because I'm in some sort of public place and I forgot to say neat when I ordered it.

I'm pretty partial to Jameson, but if I want to punish myself cheaply, it's Old Thompson, which is just really wretched stuff and leaves a taste of death in my mouth when I wake up.

Jack D and Jim Beam are distilled American self loathing.  That said they have their uses.  Mainly mint juleps.

Beam... <shudder>

It's horrible. And I drink Old Crow by choice.

How's Old Crow?  I haven't seen it around.

Slightly less manly than Evan Williams.

Evan Williams is for when I'm feeling flush.

Pretty sure that's what I bought, actually, I'll have to check.  I tried it, liked it.

Near St. Patty's day we should hold a HIMEOBS weapons familiarization seminar on the subject of scotch.

Scotch is for St. Andrew's Day.
Whiskey is for St. Patrick's Day.

:mumbles something about Protestant heretics:

[Nephew Twiddleton]

The upshot of this, of course, is that St. Andrew's Day is the 30th.

JD is good for "hey I sure feel like drinking!" and I'll get it at the bar since the prices for that are already bad enough and if I'm at the bar chances are I'm not there to contemplate the intricate nuances of whatever booze I may be drinking. When we can  afford it, Knob Creek is at least a little better and we treated ourselves to a bottle of Booker's recently which we drank neat.

[LMNO]

If we're talking non-scotch, I usually go for Eagle Rare, or Michter's Rye.


Because I am a piggish bourgeoisie white male who works for the man and can afford it.

[East Coast Hustle]

Booker's is the one bourbon for which I will make an exception to my "no more bourbon unless you NEED to fight someone while you're naked and/or wake up covered in blood with random broken bones" rule.

I am partial to most brands of cheap rum. But then, I can also find cheap bourbon with ease, and I drink it just as Roger intended, straight up and possibly on fire, judging by the taste.
