Fellas I personally dont like whisky, I prefer tequila, rum, vodka, or beer.But there are so many types of whisky, So i want to hear from original oppinion what ecxactly do you ppl like and why,?

 

I like bourbon better... Used to drink Jack Daniels, but then was introduced to Makers Mark, then Knob Creek. I've even found that Evan Williams is quite nice. Don't really drink them like I used to, now it is mostly a single sipping shot before I go home.

 

My favorite at the moment is Canadian rye whiskey. Forty Creek Barrel select. If not, I'll go for a Wisers or Gibson finest.
Scotch Whiskey (Blended) Ballantines or Bells. (Single malt) Glenmorangie.
Irish whisky (notice the spelling) I'll go for a Bushmills.
I never acquired a taste for American corn whiskey.In a pinch I might be convinced to tip back a couple shots of Tennessee Whiskey.Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey.
Bourbon to me can best be described as something like Tennessee whiskey but rather than charcoal filtered more like strained through someone's old boxer shorts.

 

Good summary but it depends on whether you like fruity malts, smoky malts or coastal malts.........whichever you like do not buy anything less than 15 years old. I like fruity whiskey so any malt from Speyside is good! Blends I like Grouse, J&B or Hankey Bannister.

If you go for Irish then Black Bush is an excellent blend and superior to most malts offered by Bushmills.

I find Bourbon too sweet and Tennessee whiskey has given me a mother and father of a hangover on a few occasions. There is also good whisky now from Japan and Australia!

As far as I know guys, any whisky is a bourbon, but bourbon is not a whisky.Why that and what is the diference?

 

It all depends on where u live. As some brands r only in that area/state.

 

depends on how deep your pockets are
my top 5 bourbons
pappy family reserve 20 year
blantons
booker
noahs mill
w l weller 12 year

non bourbon
yamakazi 50 year(very pricey)
macallen rare cask
macallen 18 year
portwood 21
nikka taketsuru 21

you never stated a budget so get ready for sticker shock the yamakazi runs over $100k for a bottle if you find one

 

I never could get by the smell of any whiskey.
Rum I can drink, beer is good, whiskey is better used to disinfect a wound.

 

A Russian that likes Vodka, didn't see that one coming ...

Crown Royal, a really good and smooth Canadian whisky is good enough for me if I ever drink but there are some seriously pricey ones in my bar for when friends come over if they want ... and YA they always want lol.

CC or Canadian Club is another good blend and as Suzy said you can't go wrong with Gibson Finest another really good Canadian whisky made in Gimli Manitoba

 

Jack Daniels is our go to whiskey and you can triage with it if needed .
Gunpowder is another way to cauterize a wound but it hurts like hell and is highly dangerous but can save a life . Never attempt it on anything other than a flesh wound .

 

We have drank with Canadians in the past and I find it odd that they ask for rye and coke where we ask for whiskey and coke .

 

You sound like someone I could enjoy sucking a few back with as you know your spirits .

 

Stick to vodka comrade . You guys make some darn good hooch .

 

Whiskey is generally a European thing. Bourbon is American. When the Scottish emigrated, they settled in the Kentucky area. They made their whiskey with American grains and all, so obviously the resulting tastes changed. It is called bourbon because of where they were, Bourbon County.

 

Adding rye grain mash adds to flavor hence the name. Most are made with only a certain amount of rye mash but a few like Alberta Premium here is made with 100% rye mash as is Canadian Club. It is a little harsh to me but I am not a seasoned drinker so my appreciation levels are lower than some others.

Don't quote me on some of what I said as I am going from what people have told me over the years while discussing the free drinks I serve them LOL.

AND thanks for your service military dude.

 

So I just watched a news article about a distillery that makes whisky and while it ages in oak barrels they make duplicate batches of each blend and one is a control batch and the other is identical except it has music pumped into it ...

Part of the secret to fine whisky is how the blend moves in and out of the oak through expansion and contraction over the years so the thinking is that the vibrations MAY help that along.

They have the "Nutcracker" on one, "Led Zeppelin" on another, "Michael Jackson" on another and so on ...

Nearly every blind taste test done has suggested that they may be onto something and save a few they always picked the blend with the music in it.

 

Jack Daniels

 

propably the best I ever drank....

Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon---150 bucks




Each Year had a different cork...
