Re: Whisky..

Some ones I like:

Sweet, complex, smooth, dark: Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select, Elijah Craig - I recommend both VERY strongly

Firewater: Knob Creek, Bulleit Bourbon, Wild Turkey 101

Cheaper but good: Old Grandad, of course Jim Beam (my staple), Evan Williams if you want to make sours or are light in the wallet

Re: Whisky..

Smooth, Dark, Complex: Woodford Reserve (fantastic), Elijah Craig (THIS STUFF HAS THE DEVIL IN IT AND HAS CAUSED MUCH PAIN, SUFFERING, AND POOR DECISION MAKING IN GENERAL, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! lol), maybe Russel's Reserve

Firewater: Knob Creek, Bulleit, Turkey 101

Cheaper but good: Beam (my staple), Old Grandad, Evan Williams if you are low on funds or want to make sours or something.

Re: Whisky..

I was a bartender for a few years, and right during the Jager bomb craze....

Talk about bad sweats the day after drinking that much red bull. I was like a 50 year old women going through "the Changes"

Re: Whisky..

1792 has my full attention here lately. I was on a Woodford's Reserve kick before that. I've drank plent of Gentleman Jack as well. Blanton's is awful nice, but is about $45 a fifth.

I usually keep a bottle of good stuff and a bottle of Evan Williams on hand. That way I don't go through the good stuff too fast if I'm trying to get a good head quickly, or already toasty and not getting the FULL taste effect of the good stuff.
