Whiskey Drinkers

[62_Kiwi]

What are your favourite brands of whiskey and how do you drink them ?<br /><br />I'm partial to most types of Scotch and I drink it straight on ice...Johnny Walker, Chivas Regal, Grants, Glenfiddich...age/price dependent on how rich I feel at the time (or how much overseas travel I'm doing). I find it hard to pick an overall favourite (they're all good ), but recently was introduced by an Irish friend to "Jameson" - Irish Whiskey... and that is good stuff!!..very smooth (triple distilled). If forced to name a favourite (in the reasonable price category) right now I'd pick Jameson.<br /><br />Is anyone here a fan of Irish whiskey ? If so which do you recommend ?<br /><br />Cheers

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Glenfiddich when the budget allows - neat.<br /><br />As for irish, always a bottle of Jameson in the house - on ice or neat. IMO its the best for your buck (much smoother than Black Douglas).<br /><br />Aldo

Scotch drinker here.<br /><br />Use Highland Mist to mix my favorite. .. Rusty Nails, neat.<br /><br />Favorite blended is Chivas Regal, favorite single malt is MacAllen, both neat. Save those for special occasions like today, when I turn 69.

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

When I drink the occasional whiskey it is Jameson hands down. That is the smoothest whiskey bar none. <br /><br />I'll have one in your Honor JB, Happy birthday.

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

back when my blood pressure was low and I was normal weight, I used to drink Makers Mark, Crown Royal and Johnny Walker Red.<br /><br />After being told my blood pressure was high and I needed to loose 20lbs, somewhere along the line the alcohol was off the menue....<br /><br />Pressure is lower, almost normal.

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Chevas or Johnny Walker.If i can afford it black or once in a lifetime blue label.I never spoil the taste with nasty ice.When it is room temperature it is possible to taste the oak aroma from the barrel.<br />When drinking cheap whiskey it is a good idea to hide the taste and mix it.

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Jack and Coke, or straight.

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Thanks for your replies guys, very interesting.<br /><br />Mark42, that's great news about getting your blood pressure down...even good whiskey is no substitute for good health.<br /><br />Crab, the good ole story makes it taste even better...I'd better get some of that.<br /><br />JB, Happy Birthday and many more rusty nails! (I'll have to try one of those too)<br /><br />...and it looks like Jameson is more popular than I realised (but not surprising though).<br /><br />Cheers & good health fellow whiskey drinkers!

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Pretty partial to single malt scotch, prefer Islay or highland malts. Straight. Favorite so far is Lagavulin, but at $60/bottle, I don't get to drink it a lot!<br /><br />I like maker's mark and wild turkey too, esepcially the wild turkey rye. Yum!

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Crown is fine. Jack Daniel's is good, but I have found that Jim Beam is actually smoother. I like it on the rocks, and enjoy sipping away slowly. Any decent bourbon will do.<br /><br />Can't handle scotch---makes my stomach burn like the ****ens. I'm a bourbon man, at least when it comes to hard liquor.<br /><br />*hic*<br /><br /><br />-dd-

Re: Whiskey Drinkers

Jim Beam Rye (yellow label) straight .. no frills... my palate likes it.<br /><br />there is another I like but, I can't remeber the name.<br /><br />After the person told me what they paid for it I didn't like it soo much and chose to forget about it.
