    Well now, a subject close to my heart. (Close to hand as well actually, sip)
    My favorite is Wild Turkey. In my cabinet right now is also a jug o Jim Beam, Old Grandad, and Kentucky Gentleman (which techinically is a blended bourbon). I prefer my Turkey on the rocks. Gentleman is good diluted with Coke, and is primarily here 'cause my brother likes it. Ofcourse I'm a student of all disiplines, so right now I'm havin a Black Velvet -Coke. Enjoy Crown Royal very much, and have developed a real taste for Calvert Extra (which is American, not Canadian).
    I would be very happy to tip a glass of your favorite with you. Always time for a good sip of whiskey and conversation with a new friend !!
    Hmmmmm,,,,, Turkey on the rocks....... gotta go:D

    My favorite of bottles that say "Whiskey" on 'em is Jameson's Irish Whiskey. My bourbon-drinking friends who can afford the best love Knob Creek over all others. I tend to stick to scotches over bourbon: Glenmorangie Single Malt (when I want to spend the $) or Famous Grouse blended.

    But, heck, I got more than a few Early Times stories...or maybe I should say flashbacks....so its all good.
    :cheers:

    I keep Southern Comfort in my trunk( for medicinal reason ya know ), I have a row of single malts hidden in the garage, and all of the $20 and under from CostCo above the fridge. What I drink totally depends on circumstance. An ice water and a single malt with a steak works really nice.

    but it really is

    Bourbon Beam tastes like 7up to me. Be interested in hittin' a swig of that Woodford though ain't never tried it. Thanks for the information! We jump down to Ky easily on the weekend I'll look for a bottle of it, in the meantime.

    I got some bottles of JDwhiskey that are rare and actually higher proofs.I really like it alot. OPended one and it was smooth as could be for JD. been there to JD on many occassions. Actually got a deed to some land and a squire card to JD.

    R U drinkin it out of a shot glass that you pulled both out of the freezer, or you drinkin it with a coke or what. Whiskey that is good with Coke might not be as good straight.\
    Or you drinkin crown over rocks.

    What no Makers Mark? Great bourbon!

    Bookers and Blantons are top notch as is Knob Creek, single barrel bourbons are the top of the game as are Single malt Scotch,

    For single malts there are a lot more expensive ones that I've enjoyed however The Dalmore 12 Year old is hard to beat for the money, they also make a Cigar Malt at Dalmore which is harder to find, it's more of a blend but it's good

    Have some Jamison at home good stuff almost gone.

    I'm a Tennesee sipping whiskey kinda guy.

    To Quote David Allen Coe "Jack Daniels if you please" .

    I've heard some wonderful things about Makers Mark one of these days I'm gonna have to try it.

    I can't stand Scotch. Tastes like wet straw to me.

    Like Drill Sarge my ol man drank some JW Dant I haven't seen that on the shelf in years. I'm gonna have to try some old Ezra too.

    iced tea

    I was at the local horse track about five years ago and saw a cutie tipping a bottle of jack and chasing it with lipton iced tea. Next thing ya know we are tippping and chasing with lipton iced tea she is originaly from TN/KY but lives in Canada. She brings down the cuban cigs once a year and we split a bottle with her and lipton, FYi she works for NESTea but it does not work or taste as good. Try it you will be surprised. This is coming from a fella that has snorted JD thru a straw just to win a bet for my friend. I did'nt have to buy the shot so who really won?! :D :cool: and it was years ago when I was in the service and invincible in my youth.
