Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare single barrel

I have Jameson under there too

The best...

Jack daniels black label for daily drinks

Jack daniels special edition rye ice cold out of my freezer... its amazing

When I was 13 years old  we raided a friends whiskey cabinet while his parents where away. I got sick for two days. never touched it again.   

Everyday Buffalo Trace

 

Special occasion Blanton's

It's not whiskey but I'll tell you a great drink is that firefly sweet tea vodka

Old granddad? Lol really? That's some brutal stuff. I've had it a few times and it was rough.

markers mark or old granddad. jack is a good fallback if the other 2 are empty already. or if the bar blows and doesnt have anything else. which has been the case for me once recently.

The subject was whisky, not just bourbon or Canadian whiskey.  And there is huge range of scotch whisky, so there are quite a few "in betweens".

 

What I'm saying is you like scotch or you don't like scotch. I will partake in Irish whiskey at times but don't like the taste of scotch if its $6 or $600 a bottle.

Used to drink a lot of scotch and whiskey but not much in the last 10 years.

 

Ballantine's for everyday

 

GlenNfiddich 21 for special occasions

 

Also a big fan of John Daniels (look up movie quotes)

Bulleit or Makers Mark.

no particular order

And my point is,  spending more than Marker's Mark or Crown does not necessarily make one a snob, whether its scotch bourbon or any other whiskey.  I can think of a few more expensive bourbons than MM (which I too happen to enjoy) that offer great taste sensations. But to each his own.

 

Cheers!

 

EDIT: I will submit Bookers!  It's a killer bourbon!

Johnny walker blue label, tried a shot and just had to have a bottle. But I will never open mine unless its a real special occasion like when we get a CCW in NJ hahaha

Military Special.... Damn stuff could run an engine if needed

Dewar's 12 year old. It's Scotch whiskey.

 Just to veer off a bit, I wonder how many others still can't touch the stuff that caused that first technicolor all night puke. It was Canadian Club for me and I still can't even smell the stuff without my stomach twitching almost 50 years later.

Irish whiskey- Tyrconnell, vodka - Titos

I always have a bottle of whiskey around but i try to always get different ones. Johnny walker gold is my favorite that i come back too often, blue label is almost too smooth for its own good. For almost 10 years or so I have been buying different $35 to $60 dollar scotches from the liquor store. Mostly single malts. I go through 4 or 5 bottles a year and I try to get different ones every time. I've forgotten most of them. Woodford reserve is an awsome bourbon.

Knob creek if I am flush that week. Makers Mark in a normal week. JD if broke. 

 

As for the stuff that kicked my ass in high school that I cannot even smell....Peachtree schnapps. 

Woodford  Reserve the official bourbon of the kentucky derby.

Jameson and Jack Daniels green label. Green label doesn't have that gross charcoal aftertaste that the regular black has.

 

I actually got to try a few different batches of one of the guys on Moonshiners the other day. The Apple cinnammon was delicious.

 The only difference between the green and black label is the aging time. The green is bottled sooner, but the charcoal mellowing is the same process for both types.

My 18th birthday. Absolute vodka. To this day I cringe at the thought.

Irish: bushmills or concannon

 

For highballs: Canadian club

 

American: Jack Daniels

 

Scotch: glenmorangie or glenfiddich single malt, chives ir similar for blended

 

Nothing too pricey. It seems like I don't notice the value of a high end whiskey.

Do yourself a favor and give Basil Hayden's a try. It's a game changer for sure and reasonably priced around $40.

Scotch is not bourbon or Canadian whiskey either. Scotch is also something you love or you hate. There is no in between with Scotch.

I don't know that that's true.  There's such a huge variety.  Unless you flat out don't like whiskey, there's probably a Scotch out there you could enjoy.

Everyday: Jack Daniel's or Wild Turkey 

Special occasion:  Macallan 18

Jack Daniels No.7 straight. I am partial to Cognac and Tawney Port.
