biggest thing for good scotch drinkin is good scotch weather... gotta be fall or winter...its just not as good in the summer... gotta switch to vodka/rum
 
My favorite whiskey can't be found in stores. It is a Tennessee corn mash whiskey that a family friend makes back home in Tennessee. It's clear and tastes better than anything I have had in stores. It's also very classy since it comes in a sealed gallon water jug. That reminds me; I need to go ahead and make a run back home for more! :)
 
It's not my favorite, but no one has given any love to Evan Williams. I'll be the first to stick up for it!!! After all, I do have a big bottle of the sour mash in the next room.

Who's ready for us to play solid, sound, error-free defense in the Super Regional? Wait, damn. Well, who's ready for Jax State?!?!?!

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.

Wow! A true dark liquor conniseuor(sp?)! Thank you for clarifying the SoCo topic for these folks. SoCo is a liqeour(again, sp?) not a liquor. Didnt know it had cherry flavoring though, just thought it bourbon and orange.

I don't know that anyone who drinks Southern Comfort should be regarded as a connoisseur (correct spelling since you asked ;)) of anything other than the waste infested waters of New Orleans. No offense, but SoCo is terrible.

Ha! I agree, I think he was more describing it than saying he drinks it
 
This shouldn't even be a question amongst men....

I'm not a whiskey drinker but am looking to up my game. I've pretty much only had it mixed with cola. I hear people talk about mixing it with water. Is there a standard amount to mix? Is it different depending on the type? Is ice a necessity? Forgive my whiskey noob questions...
