Does nobody around here drink scotch or irish whiskey?

Wild Turkey for US made
Jameson
Tullamore Dew
Inver House (cheap and good)
Maker's Mark is a good fall back

Bushmill's Black Bush - the whiskey by which all others are judged.
 
Makers is the best by far. I tried a new bourbon this week, Four Roses, and it was good too. However, if you're looking for a cheaper bottle that is still good, try out Old Grandad.
 
I'm a bourbon drinker myself, and I just found this new stuff called Jefferson's reserve. It has an etching of Thomas Jefferson on the back of it and it is very tasty.

this thread is starting to sound like a George Thoroughgood song...
 
Black Velvet. It has a special place in my heart. It got me through college.

Irish Whiskey is poison. I like Scotch at times and those times always require a good cigar. I'm not much of a scotch drinker.

Touché. It depends for me. Not much for smokey whiskey like leffrogue, or anything using the pete in the process. Other than that the ingredients are very similiar. JD and beam are nasty to me. So is Canadian whiskey, cept crown sometimes. I think all whiskey is unique depending on the region it is distilled.
 
Um. Bushmill Black Bush, followed closely by Wild Turkey Rare Breed for those of you keeping score at home.
 
I don't always drink liquor, but when I do, I prefer tequila.

This is like, in a conversation about red wine, saying you like cabernet, pinot, and sangria. The first two are red wines, albeit vastly different. SoCo is a recreation of a bourbon-based cocktail that is believed to have been created in New Orleans, though. Bourbon, oranges, cherries, etc. marinated together for a few days and then served over ice. Although whiskey-based, it is not a whiskey.

I'm not trying to be an ass, just a technically-minded engineer aiming to educate fellow alumni.


Now to be a snobby dickish type:

For me, in this post about whiskey, I have a hard time seeing people compare bourbons with tennessee whiskeys (Jack), scotches with irishes, etc. I understand they are all whiskies, but the variations between all of these are so vast.

Compare Woodford and Maker's if you like. Compare Bushmill's and Jameson. Compare Chivas with Johnnie Walker or Glenlivet with Glenmorangie.

You really cannot compare Woodford and Bushmill's, for example. You would be better off simply comparing Irish to Bourbon.

So - my favorite type of whiskey? I like them all up with a couple of finger-drops of water; but it probably goes Scotch Single, Scotch Blend, Irish, then Bourbon.

My favorite brand? If the company is satisfactory, any legitimate brand will do. Chivas, Jameson, and Woodford Reserve are often seen mingling in my liquor cabinet. I like to buy in bulk.

An associate of mine and I had a great business discussion over a bottle of Glendronach. That was fun. It is not often that business meetings end up with the participants actually singing the blues. When it happens, it is priceless, though.
