Who loves Whiskey?

Good grief, anyone mixing whisky with coke needs to have their head examined.

Try out the Corsair Triple Smoke, Elijah Craig 16yr. Both are very good, the Corsair even peaty. Jack, Makers, Jim etc are kinda the Bud/Miller of the whisky world imo, and I steer cleer of them. They tend to be very brassy, and unrefined. Just my .02
 
Hey the cheaper SoCo will do...11 bucks at Walmart!..Evan Williams was ok...SoCo was better to me...then Jack and well that's my limit of trying yet.....Actually having a little Jack right now...
 
Everyone has to taste the lesser expensive stuff to for a time period unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I guess I've had most all of them over my 36 years of making the legal age to drink time frame. I guess you know SoCo is a liqueur not a Bourbon, only real difference is that in liqueur they add sugar and / or flavorings to make the drink sweet (which appeals to most of the ladies). BTW where did you get SoCo at a Wal-Mart? They don't normally have distilled spirits as the license to sell is only for beer, wine and pre-mixed wine based flavored drinks like the Daileys Pouches.
Anyway, drinking the good stuff is an accrued taste. Never knock what another likes until you have a few chrome hair on your head. Then you can distinguish that Gentleman Jack over old No 7 or green label is much better but single barrel is top dog in the Jack Line up. And great whiskey is not to be mixed with sugar drinks, it is made for a Man to sip and enjoy. Scotch must be old and drank neat, by old I find that mostly 15+ years and up and often a good single malt. Irish whiskey is my game, to me it suits the taste buds better than almost anything (well almost, I can think of one thing better but we won't bring that into the discussion). Jameson is good, so is Bushmills but Redbrest is fine as is Midleton Very Rare and Knappogue Castle just to name a very few from grand old Ireland.
I stockpile when I have the extra jingle, price is better when you buy the case in lieu of one bottle. Having a rather large home bar, should you have an interest I may have extra available - I'm an old chrome haired horse trader that has a fondness for firearms and the related items that go with them..........
 
No one likes the Pappy Van Winkle? Gooood stuff. For the last 3 years an we are going again this year, a group of my friends runs a marathon in Kentucky called the Bourbon Chase. It's a 200 mile race in which 10-12 runners run different legs between 6 or distilleries. Myself being super out of shape, drives one of the vans between the pickup point/drop off points. It's neat though to tour these distilleries and see all the history in them and around them. Jim Beam, Woodruff, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, Makers Mark, and Heaven Hill.

Pappy Van Winkle and Macallan both work for me. Been a minute since buying the real good stuff, last year (35th anniversary) I bought a Johnnie Blue Label and a Jameson Gold Reserve - coughed up just short of $300 for the two. Great drinking but I need to win the lotto !!

I think I have an unopened case of six JD Single Barrel tucked away, may need to drag it out and work up a gun trade with one of you fine gentlemen.......
