Irish? Scotch? Bourbon?

[arinbjorn]

I like a variety of single malt Scotches. The Glenlivet, Bowmore, Glenfiddich... whether it is Islay or something else, I havn't met a Scotch that I couldn't find myself agreeable to. Even Johnny Walker Black =D
The Knappogue is a truely excellent single malt Irish! Hard to find, but very well worth it.
Lately I have been on a bourbon kick, and enjoying Maker's Mark a good deal. Would like to explore bourbon more.

Bourbon: eagle rare has become my daily favorite lately. Next to that, Jack or Makers Mark. Four roses is pretty good too.
Both Irish and scotch are reserved for more special occasions because of cost

Irish: Powers 12 or Black Bush. I had the joy of tasting Middleton a couple of times, as my dad would say: "it's like an angel peeing on your tongue" :rofl: don't ask where he got that. But just can't bring myself to buy a bottle. At $180 I'd rather buy a couple of pipes

Scotch: MacAllen mostly or Lagavullin when it's cold by the fire.

At the risk of sounding redundant:

Irish? Scotch? Bourbon?

Yes please.
I haven't tried many bourbons, but I've never been disappointed with any of the Jim Beam varieties.
And Glenfiddich is my go-to aged single malt.

Scotch would be my all time favorite. I currently have an 18 year Glenmorangie that is out of this world tasty. However this season I enjoyed quite a bit of Wisers Whiskey as well.

I tend to lean towards bourbons. Something weird happens to me when I drink Scotch, my jowels feel like they constrict and I salivate profusely. Maybe I just haven't had a good single malt, I dunno.

For Scotch, that is affordable, I like Famous Grouse. Once in a small fishing/tourist village on the west coast of England just below Wales, I asked the bar keep for his favorite Scotch. That was my first sip of the Famous Grouse. But 18-year Glen Morganie is the very-special-occasion pick. Although sometimes I think it is too smooth--if that is possible.

I have been known to finish a bottle or three of Macallan's "Fine Oak" 15 Year Old Single Malt...fantastic stuff

 

[carlomarx]

Just cracked open a bottle of Michael Collins 10 year old single malt Irish...not bad at all!!

 

[baronsamedi]

+1 on the MacAllan. That's good stuff!

 

[kennerth]

Due to the frequent smell of of others rancid whisky breath in mornings, I cannot usually enjoy the whiskeys. But John Powers Irish Whiskey Irish Whiskey is smooth and easy.

 

[gwynclan]

Bourbons, hooked on Elmer T. Lee(retired Master Distiller of Buffalo Trace). bookers and Blantons and for very special occasions my Pappy Van Winkle.

Sipping rums are good too. Pyrat and captin special reserve

 

[mattmars]

My favorite bourbons are Eagle Rare and woodford reserve.

Jameson is really the only Irish I've had enough of to know about.

Haven't had scotch in decades. I think my grandfather drank Cutty Sark.

 

[zanthal]

Kinda surprised I haven't heard many people talking about Glenfiddich aged ___+

 

[jaysin]

Bourbon Evan Willams

All though thought of as a cheep off brand whisky its not its a nice single barrel bottled and bonded bourbon whisky.

 

[puffin]

I'm a Knob Creek man. In fact, I am enjoying a glass as we speak (neat). If pressed (ha ha!) I enjoy all three, but I think bourbon is my preference. As a shout our to Zanthal, I do like Glenfiddich.

 

[frtimmyd]

Scotch: Macallan's
Irish: Jameson
Bourbon: Buffalo Trace
A few years back a Deacon I know came back from a trip to Scotland. He toured a small, family owned distillery (wish I could remember the name). Well, when sampling time came, the matriarch set down the glasses with this warning, "Ye'll no be puttin' water in our whiskey. We spent 12 years gettin' the damn stuff oot."

 

[wildcat]

Irish: Tullamore Dew or Jameson
Bourbon: Jim Beam
Scotch: Chivas Regal
American: Seagrams 7 or more than likely Mohan's, a cheap local private label.
'Smatter of fact, Mohan's American whiskey is my go to "7&7" drink. Tonight however, I am enjoying a Highball of Mohan's and gingerale.
Just found out scotch and gingerale is called a Presbyterian... next weekend I plan on drinking this and trying some Presbyterian baccy for the first time! Life is good!

I just cracked the cork on a bottle of Glenmorangie Original 10 year. Been a while, but I love this whisky. They have a solid like of excellent whiskies.

[nobail]

Scotch: Glenmorangie Original 10 year, Macallan's 12 year old, Glenfiddich 12, Glenlivet 15.

Irish: Jameson 12, Gold & 18. Bushmills 16 & 21. Redbreast is good but not my favorite. Tullamore dew is nice also, but please make it the 12.

Canadian: Wisers Very Old (think it is 18); Crown Royal Cask
Still to try, Middleton very rare (safely stashed away); the Connemera peated and cask strength and some others sitting around.
Worst? Had to be some Norwegian stuff that sailed across the equator, Aquavit. Gack! I had to try it for my ancestors but what were they thinking?
