A little whisky to wash your palette of drama

[Ratt]

I'd take it to a party in a flask.

I'm not normally a fan of rye, but that one sounds delicious. And I'm down for bourbon any time!

[Fern]

Well I don't want to brag but I am somewhat of a malt liquor snob myself so I can relate, LOL

I find the 2009 Schlitz Blue Bull to be one of the finest.

It has subtle undertones of will work for food, and a crisp lemme hold a dolla aftertaste.

I haven't gotten whiskey bent in a good while... I've been drinking vodka all year as it's been HOT out

and I've actually been taking it easy recently. maybe a beer or two per night

but this thread and the promise of cold weather on the horizon has lit the fuse... there will be whiskey soon. oh yes, there will be whiskey!

Depends on your tolerance of hard liquor and your palate. I drink all my scotch whisky straight, no ice. Most blended whiskeys are with coke on the rocks. Quality rye and bourbon are typically straight or with 2 clean ice cubes. Try some stuff.

aberlour a'bunadh is some terrific scotch, my bottle is 121proof.

lightbulb!

I can handle it ok I guess, but man I have a hard time choking down some liquors. Is it like beer and develop a taste for it? I dont mind the crown and ginger or coke, depends how drunk I am I can do scotch and water on occasion. Light pours though

Definitely. I became a steak snob, then a cigar snob then a liquor snob... I think it was a gradual understanding of taste and variances in things I already liked. I picked up on scotch tastes quicker than I expected, I already have m favorites and my scotch collection is already almost as deep as my cigar collection.

For some starters, seriously pick up a bottle of Balvenie Carribean cask 14yr. Lots of sweet undertones and a very tolerable scotch. A constant on my bar.

Yah I like some stogies, but liquors I have a hard time with straight. Ill give it a go I'm always adding stuff to the liquor cabinet.

[DON SVO]

If you don't like the Carribean cask I'll buy the remainder off you. That's how certain I am you'll enjoy it. Try it with some ice cubes after letting it settle a few minutes if you can't tolerate it at first. If you can discern the maker's subtle flavors (locale/barrel/age/etc) after a bit, that's when it starts getting fun.

Don't breath through your mouth at all when drinking whisky if you're not used to it. You'll cut a lot of heat out if you just breath through your nose.

Yah I use that trick while shooting stuff, I just developed a hell of a taste for beer. Ill buy a bottle of that carribean cask tomorrow. Just sip it straight over ice?

Pour 2 fingers and let it sit for five minutes. Try sipping it straight. Sip, smell after swallowing, repeat. See if it's doable. I prefer and decent scotch or whisky straight.

I just drink mine over ice. I drink it fast enough so as not to let it get watered down. I'm not much on sipping anything
