Favourite whisky or whiskey
#1Anything goes here, as long as it is a whisky. You can be general and give a country or region, type, or be more specific and name brand, year and barrel number. I’ll start and say bourbon, and Buffalo Trace.

#3Paul- Life is too short to drink cheap whisky and only fish with plastic rods. I have a treat for you on our next trip.
On a vacation to the Dark Continent a couple of years ago we decided to break the flight up and spent a couple of days in Edinburgh on the return. A visit to a whiskey bar opened my eyes to the different styles of scotch. Since then, I have been slowly sampling scotches from different regions. Some standouts are Lagavulin 16 y or Laphroaig quarter cask for peaty scotches and Aberfeldy 18 y for non-peaty.

#7My everyday favorite with ice is Evan Williams Bourbon. For a wee dram of single malt its Laphroaig10 for peated , Talisker 10 & a milder Scotch Balvenie 12 double Wood. I guess I just like Scotch Whisky the best.

#8I don't know how your folks can drink that stuff. To me it smells like rod varnish.

#10Lagavulin (carefully hoarded for special occasions), Laphroaig for not quite so special, Teachers for my every day go to.
I spent most of my money on shotguns, fly rods, guitars and banjos. The rest I just wasted. (Apologies to W.C. Fields)

#11I was a scotch drinker for years. Then, on one of my last trips to Canada, a friend shared some Canadian Club Small Batch twelve year old whiskey. I loved it; its what I drink now, and buy as much of it as I can whenever I find it (hard to find; not carried in VT state liquor stores, which is the only game in town in the state).

#12I find it depends on the day and my mood (and the company). There are scotch days and there are bourbon days. Once that is determined, it comes to a matter of what kind of assault you wish to place on your taste buds, married to the meal, smokes if they are around and again the company.

#13I'm going to have to side with Mark that "I don't see how you folks can drink that stuff." But then I often swing soft hackles down and across to rising fish!

#14Lagavulin, Laphroaig or Talisker.
And on a different note, I've recently found Suntory Hibiki Japanese Harmony to be very enjoyable.
