In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......

[CO Hummer]

As I stated earlier, my new year's resolution is to figure out whiskey. Sure, I've had plenty of whiskey here and there over the years. But I wanna get more into and figure out (1) The best overall whiskey regarless of price, and (2) the best 'everyday' whiskey.

I started early in December and polished off bottles of Gentleman Jack, Maker's Mark, Jack Daniels Single Barrel, and Black Maple Hill (16yr version).

So far I'm partial to the Black Maple Hill, but it's the most expensive. I really like the JD Single Barrell too.

So tell me - What the best for version (1) and version (2)?

Here's my latest purchases this week:

[tower]

Definitely #2! Turkey 101 is best.

[DennisAJC]

My stock is running low.

Had a JW Red, Black and Blue but that all went bye bye last party. There's one in there worth $400 and it's almost gone.

Drank alot this month. Weird.

Kira drinks the JD stuff. I get headaches from that.

CROWN is the way to go for me if I'm out.

I think you need to clarify though...

Staight up? or mixed with coke or other beverage?

That says it all. No decent whiskey gets mixed. Already been at it, eh?

[lennyrebel]

After years of practice trust me Crown Royal is by far the best--never a headache or hangover just the dxmn best whiskey

Crown is the absolute best thing to come out of Canada.
Damn, already to page 2.
Can't believe I didn't see this thread sooner.

On the rocks and nuthin else baby.

Sometimes with 7up or Coke but on only the rare times I feel fruity.

I prefer just drinking the whiskey straight. No Coke. No Ice. I like it that way, and it seems the best way to truly differentiate the tastes.

I'm sipping some of the Wild Turkey right now. I have to say it's not too shabby. But there is a bit a medicinal taste to it that.

My next purchase is going to be a bottle of Crown Royal. I've never had that.

Wild Turkey, haha, my first. Whew boy!


Hard liquors are fine and all but they taste like sh1t, whiskey specially- admit it.

I only drink on occasion

-but I have this bottle of Absinthe Edouard I have been looking forward to, after the pregnancy of course.

I really like the preparation ritual, controversy and mystery of it all. Plus you get to buy all cute little silver spoons and special glasses. It's still illegal here I believe, but only to sell it, not consume.

Actually, I heard the Absinthe ban was recently lifted. But, I haven't looked in to it any further. I had a bottle and I'll be honest. It tastes like sh!t and doesnt do a damn thing except get you drunk.

I had a couple Woodfords tonight. While I do like it, it didn't go that well with Sushi.

It's not whiskey but I had to bust open the frozen bottle of cough syrup and throw back 4 shots!
