Scotch. I love it.

Is this the Ron Burgundy thread?

I like whatever Dean Martin used to drink. :glugglug:

Southern Comfort was the first drink I ever had.

My dad caught me trying to steal some of his, I think his words were "If you're gonna drink my whisky, you're gonna drink a proper amount of it" and made me take about a double measure of it.

"I like scotch, scotchy scotch scotch. Down it goes, down into my belly"

 

[pancha]

all this talk has made me thirsty! *reaches for the bottle of Grey Goose*

In case you couldn't tell, Vodka is currently my drink of choice. Grey Goose, Belvedere, and Chopin if taking them straight. Mixing them only done with a splash, otherwise you ruin it. Absolut and Kettle One for mixing with juice, etc.

I have been meaning to try some scotch, maybe some Chivas Regal?

As for Tequila, as long is its not Cuervo! Sammy Hagar's blue Cabo Wabo is VERY smooth!! haven't had that in a while!

Lady Love: I think it is very different though.

If spelt "whisky" it comes from Scotland, if "whiskey" it's from Ireland.

The problem comes with drinks like Bourbon which really shouldn't be called whisk(e)y at all but it's too late to change that. They are attempts to make a spirit from other grains , they make a good drink in their own right but can't compare with a malt whisky (you shouldn't really expect them to)
There are whiskies from Scotland and Ireland which are blends of non malt with malt;again pleasant enough but are recognised to be cheaper inferior versions.

I'm well aware of the Scottish whisky, Irish whiskey spelling difference. American whiskies? Well you can call it whiskey if you like, but we Scots were making whisky before the USA even existed.

I love the arrogance though. American whiskey is referred to as "whiskey" and the Scottish stuff, which was being made before the US was even thought of, is somehow not worthy of being called whisky. Unbelievable.

For those of you who want to learn a little more about the spirit of life, check out the conference.

LONDON (Reuters) - It could be paradise, a show carrying samples of the world's best whiskies travelling the globe offering tempting tastings for aficionados and the uninitiated alike.

Now in its eighth year, Whisky Live came to London at the weekend after visiting Auckland for the first time and before that Tokyo where whisky is immensely popular.

Bourbons, ryes, single malts, blended malts of different strengths and having been matured for differing lengths of time and in barrels that have previously held different alcoholic beverages to give them different flavours.

The variety of whiskies is as mind boggling as the effect they can have if consumed in excess.

I have a feeling somebody would have to carry me out of that place if I were to attend that event.

 

[wigster]

i don't drink anymore but i did occasionally have a tiple of JD

 

[raynman68]

I started with Glenlivet and it is the only scotch I keep in the house. When I am out and about I will drink Dewars or Macallan if I can find my favorite.

 

[Prophecy]

Well, perhaps this may sound a little strange... but I like Laphroaig. It's so smoky that I'd nearly call it "smoked".

The really strange thing is I sometimes like to drink Laphroaig with fish! Although - this seems to fit, smoked fish and smoky whisky...

[Quagmire33]

Of Course I like Bushmills cause it's Irish and the original whiskey. But I'd say Not much beats some good Glenfiddich, or Glenmorangie
