Johnny Walker Black

Black Maple Hill - Small Batch Bourbon

My favorite line up right under my vodka collection:

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

.

I'm a highlands malt guy.

 

Glenmorangie. The best. Plain ol' 10 y.o.

 

As for what I can't tolerate because of teenage unpleasantness it's southern comfort. I'm gagging a bit just typing it.

I am Islay guy myself Walt. As for teenage indescretions I have to choose Sambuca on an empty stomach! 

 

And the best of all my brother's old unit's commemorative bottle of single barrel that we'll drink on his retirement.

Nice! I have had plenty of cask strength (Laphroaig 10 y/o 55.6% ABV )  But no single barrels as of yet.  I am sure Jack's is very sweet. Something to look forward to.

I tried to like isle of islay malts. I just can't. I have a bottle of Lagavulin that's one wee dram short of full for some years now...

 

Better man than me.

Well as one Scot said about the Laphroaig cask strength - you can either send it to your best friend, or your worse enemy! I am sure most of the peats are along this line. The wonderful thing about scotch (or just single malt) is that there are so many different ones to choose from.

I wish you were a good friend of mine. I would have helped you to finish it by now.

Woodford  Reserve the official bourbon of the kentucky derby.

I second that.  Woodford has a nice flavor.

I have a bottle of single barrel lying around.  Always kept it for something semi special but I'm thinking I should just go for it one of these days. 

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

+1. I will add Jefferson's Presidential Select, Glenlivett, Woodford Reserve and of course my uncle from Lynchburg.

The Balvenie Single Barrel 15. I haven't tried the Single Barrel 12 yet, but it's on my list of things to try. I don't drink often, and whiskey is less common to be had, but that stuff is great.

 

As far as unable to even smell it; Kahlua & Jack Daniels.

Woodford  Reserve the official bourbon of the kentucky derby.

Client just gave me a bottle, I cant wait to try it, waiting to finish a bottle of Jim Bean Black 1st. 

Black Label Jack Daniel's or George Dickel red label

Everyday whiskey - Bulleit Rye

When I'm feelin rich - Basil Hayden

When I'm broke - Evan Williams

I'll take one of each please.

Bowmore or if brave: Talisker

 

I was never a scotch fan until I went there 10 years ago.. part of the tour included nightly tastings of various brands.  It went from just tasting like burning on day 1 to actually being able to pick up the differences by the end of the trip.

Everyday = Jameson

Special = Johnnie Walker Blue Label

although my wife bought me a bottle of 18yo Dalmore single malt highland and it is excellent

 

At least 18 years for me

There's a joke in there somewhere

Knob Creek, Maker's Mark, or Buffalo Trace

Enjoying Knob Creek as I read this ; )

Makers Mark, Elijah Craig, and Larceny on the rocks 

 

Jack if I feel like mixing with coke

 

Fireballs for shots

I only drink on occasion but my bottle that lasts me almost a year is filled with Jack Daniels. My favorite for celebrating is Glenlivet. It is whisky as I learned the first time I ordered a glass of Scotch in Scotland.

Laphroig.

 

Whiskey related anectode: I ended up with a completely unexpected layover in Edinburgh. It is an incredibly beautiful city. I went on the whiskey tour and learned (and tasted) a lot. In my drunken stupor, I bought a couple of nice bottle and brought them back to the airport not having thought through that my baggage was already checked, and I couldn't carry on board. I ended up donating them to two nice ladies who tried to help me get them checked at the last minute.

Moral of story: Don't drink and buy.

no particular order....

Jameson for Irish Whiskey, Jim Beam Black for Bourbon and Laphroaig for Scotch (when I can afford a bottle) Otherwise its Chivas Regal.
