I usually drink Chivas or Jameson. But I usually prefer wine over whisky most of the time.
Have to try this Irish Mist sometime, never seen it before.

Valis knows how to drink well.

I'd add glenmorangie and laphroaig to his list. I had a special reserve 18 year laphroaig once, and it was glorious.

I like Old Pulteney and Bruichladdich but let's be honest any single malt is good. My wife is hardcore and loves Laphroaig. I like Famous Grouse for an everyday blend.

I love bourbon and rye as well. I have some Rough Rider rye that I am enjoying quite a bit. Makes a mean Manhattan or Sazerac but it's also great with a splash of water. Mmm, Sazeracs...

Irish? I wish I had some of my Green Spot left. : (

Glenfiddich is one of my favorites. I am dying to try Lagaluvin, but I don't have that kinda money.

I actually have a bottle of Green Spot at home right now! Quite good.

Lagavulin 16 is worth the hype, as is Monkey Shoulder. Templeton is good and well priced for a mixing whiskey. Bulleit for absolute bottom shelf. Macallan Rare Cask for reasonable top-end. Brenne for a dessert whiskey. Bib&Tucker for a mid-upper sipper. You're welcome.

Oh, and JW is all overpriced trash on par with Grey Goose for Vodka or Patron for Tequila.

A lot of love for Lagavulin on this thread. Thanks! Now I know what to buy for my upcoming anniversary. : )

JW blue is as good as is touted....killer

JW Blue is overpriced for what it is. You're buying a name. You can find whiskeys as good or better for less.

I can also drink box wine, yet i choose not to

Your comment makes zero sense.

Canadian Springs mixed with Orange Juice and red bull. I call it a brainbomb

Again JW Blue is awesome---my guess is you have not had it

I've managed and consulted for cocktail and whiskey bars across the country and down to the caribbean. I've toured 14 separate whiskey distilleries in the course of my job, from small-batch to mass production. I've tasted, drunk, and pissed more whiskey in the past five years than you will in your entire life. I've had JW Blue label enough to know that I will not buy it when there are distinctly superior, less cost-inflated whiskeys on the market. Now if you're buying it for the name, and to brag to your pissant little friends about the bottle of Johnny Blue you've got in your cupboard from three christmases ago, that's fine, but if you're drinking whiskey for the taste and the experience, you'll fucking listen to someone who's profession it is to provide that.

Buy some JW Dant and help feed my family <3

Also, Choosy, if you're a career alcoholic as you claim, you should be a lot happier and nicer than you are because your job is most people's dream.

@Choosy

You're a bit of a shit, has that ever occurred to you?

You like what you like.

I'm a bit of a shit who knows his whiskey, though.

I'm in college and every penny I have ever made has gone into whiskey and rum, so if you ask me, all you are is a bit of a shit.

@choosey, you little shitstain. I have no need to brag, especially not about a liquor. I need not go into what i do or have, and most here will tell you I don't get into that, but your not on my page, Fucktard.

Also, FUCK YOU Choosey, i had to +1 Bo sox........asshole

It's always the pricks who are so easily pricked. Enjoy throwing your money at a name.

Have any of you tried the Japanese whiskey that won best in the world a few years ago?

Yamazaki?

Once a loser always a loser choosey. As someone in your field of expertise touring only 14 distilleries doesn't seem like much....me guess you are a liar

I mean, I've been to 5 distilleries and I don't even like whiskey that much...

Ive been to 50+ wineries around the world and all i do is consume the product.
