I drink black label.. good balance between taste and $, green is good but starts getting too pricey.

Special Occasions (Too damn expensive otherwise):
![]() I've tried this and found it lacking. The price does not match the jump in quality. Crown reserve is ALMOST as good and is a third of the price. ![]() This is my every day drink of choice depending on the mood: Woodford Reserve, Macallan 12, and Crown Royal Reserve. QUESTION: Has anyone ever tried this? I would love to know it's qualities or lack thereof.

The Pinch is ok... I can't really characterize it though, as it's been quite a while and I don't remember it all that well. The last few months I've been pretty hooked on The Balvenie. The Doublewood is awesome... smooth and slightly sweet. The Caribbean cask 14-year is sweeter (rum barrels, you know), but not quite as smooth. Macallan 12 has more body and is a bit darker/richer. For quite a while I was almost exclusively into Glenlivet and went through a half-gallon a week or so. Since trying out The Balvenie and Macallan, I've been hooked, though. Can't believe it took me 15+ years of Scotch drinking to try Macallan. lol I visited the Auchentoshen distillery in Glasgow a few years back, and liked it ok at the time, along with their sister brand Bowmore. But now, I can't handle the smokiness/peatiness in much more than very small volume. Same goes for Laphroig. In general, I think the Islays are very peaty, but I'm more of a highland malt kind of guy. I did buy a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet (at about $200), and liked it very much, but as mentioned above... the jump in price didn't justify the improvement in the whisky. I get The Balvenie Doublewood at anywhere from $48-55/bottle and it is 95% as good as the Glenmorangie Signet. Big fan of Glenfiddich 18-year, too, but I don't see that around much, and at ~$80/bottle (if my memory serves), I go through it way too quickly to be cost-effective. I caught myself earlier in the year, when going through a bad breakup for a couple of months, spending more in a month on Scotch than on rent, and one month more than on rent and utilities combined. I've since cut back to maybe around $300 a month or so. lol ![]() Yeah, I know.... I've got a problem.... I have to be at work too often! lol |

1.5oz whiskey (preferably bourbon, but any whiskey will do) 3/4-1.5oz lemon juice (depends how sour you like it) 3/4-1.5oz simple syrup (depends on how much lemon you use;usually put more with less lemon making it sweeter, less with more lemon emphasizing the sour) 1 egg white 1. Shake for 15 seconds with no ice. 2. Shake with ice for 5-10 seconds 3. Strain it in a cup with ice 4. 1-3 squirts of bitters. Orange bitters taste best for me. I've tried straight bitter and preferred orange bitters. I want to try cranberry bitters to experiment. 5. (optional) if you want to get fancy, cut a generous strip of orange zest and stick the ends through a tooth pick with cherries. Use this as a "spoon" and it will give it extremely a flavors.

Crown Royal is the Budweiser of rye whiskey. Too many varieties and they all taste the same.

Four Roses or Bulleit Rye Bourbon...FR neat, Bulleit for making a revolver, old fashioned, or when I'm particularly dangerous, something of a mashup of the two.

I prefer Irish whiskey, personally. A bit drier than Scottish whiskey, maybe?
Jameson's is usually what I drink when I dip into whiskey (being more of a vodka man for whatever reason, by nature), but on a budget, I'll take Tullamore Dew. Like H. Thompson, I also dig Wild Turkey, (but only now and then... ).Oh, fun fact for the beer-o's, (if not already known):

Meh... I prefer my whisky to taste like whisky... I don't need any of that other stuff in it.
If my stomach is a bit raw that day, I might put a few drops of water in it... but mostly, it's just neat. |

My preference lies with lagavulin 16 or laphroaig 18. I'm addicted to the Islay smoke.
