Oh, and this is my first post. Looks to be an interesting group of people. I look forward to contributing here.

Ain't a damn thing wrong with 101, good call, I forgot about it earlier.

Nobody mentioned Cutty Sark?

I'm a big fan of whisky, I can find something to love about most all of 'em. Makers Mark is a good everyday whisky ($22 for 1.75 litres at Costco!), Wild Turkey and Knob Creek are also great bourbons for me. I like Jameson's and Powers for Irish whisky and my preferences in Scotch now lie with Talisker and Caol Isla.

I used to love bourbon the best, but since January when I visited the Whisky Heritage Center in Edinburgh, Scotch is now my favorite. I can't get enough of that peaty, spicy, smokey flavor.

But I've never once turned down a whisky that was offered to me.

I've been drinking Eagle Rare 10 year old single barrel lately...I also like Bulliet Bourbon and Knob Creek...I don't usually spend more than $25-$30 a bottle.

The Bulleit bourbon was a nice find. I saw that at my local liquor store and grabbed it because I saw a thread here about it. Don't remember who turned me onto it, but it is a very good bourbon for the price.

I enjoy Cardhu but if I can spend a little more, James Martin...

I'm more of a beer and wine drinker, but when the situation calls for the stronger stuff I always have a bottle of Jim Beam Black ready to serve on ice with a bit 'o water.

Macallan 18 (expensive) and 12 for nice smooth drink plus Lagavulin 16 when I want that strong peat flavor. Have an older Lagavulin (18?) but have not tried it yet.

Laphroaig 15 Year Old - When I am in the mood for something to put some hair on my chest.

Oban 14 Year Old - Whe I want something on a lighter note.

Just had a snifter of Bulleit with a K. Hansotia. Have to say it is becoming my favorite Bourbon. Still think Makers Mark is a good standby, and if you can find it Virginia Gentleman is a pretty reasonably priced Bourbon.
If I am gonna drink a Blended I'll reach for the Chivas first. If I want to push it up a bit I'll drink their 21 year Old "21 gun salute".
The Islays are my favorite single malts. Lagavullin and Caol Ila lead the pack in that order for me.
But I love them all and I do like the "cleaner" straight forwar single malts as well. As D. Generate says, there are not too many whiskey I would turn down Canadians and Irish included - Black Bush is a stand out.

IMHO WT 101 is a very good bourbon. Way underrated, and a very good value.

May favorite right now would have to be Bookers, and Old Grand Dad 114.

Hard question to answer. It depends on my mood. Black Bush, Bookers, Knob Creek, Bakers, Makers Mark all neat, on the rocks or with water. Jack Danials, Jim Beam, or any Canadian as a mixer.

Yesterday watching the Derby I had a Mint Julep with Knob Creek. Made it strong, it was good.
