I believe I directed a question to the wrong thread earlier...

So I think I have officially developed a love for whiskey. It started with Jameson, but now I've added Maker's Mark to my cabinet.

However, I was dissapointed by Johnnie Walker. I would still like to find a Scotch, so does anyone have a suggestion?

I would also be open to other whiskey suggestions.

Apologies for dual posting at this point, but I was told that I might find better suggestions here.

If you like the flavor and smoothness of Jameson's, you'll probably like Glenfiddich. The 12-year and 15-year are both quite nice, but given how the latter is a $75 bottle of booze, I would suggest trying it the way I did: find yourself two other Scotch aficionados, and split the bill.

I hope to try the 18-year or 21-year at some point, but that might require a fourth highbrow Scotch drinker to show up, and right now my social circle ain't got one.

A big part of the key with Scotch is how much peat character do you want? They vary over a rather wide range, from fairly mild to extremely intense.

As I wrote in dymt, Knob Creek is a great bourbon that's widely available, and imho is more flavorful than the other common ones (Wild Turkey, Makers, etc.). Willet is a really nice premium bourbon, which is much smoother and more flavorful than most. Blantons is also nice.

I'm a huge fan of Laphroaig 10 (also cask strength) and Bowmore 12, but then I'm a peat-smoke freak. :D I find that Caol Ila 12 is really growing on me as well. Bruichladdich are creative... hell, /any/ Islay will get my vote!

You might look into Highland Park, which is an excellent non-smoky dram, more of a "summertime" Scotch. I'm also partial to Balvenie Double Wood, and GlenDronach is highly underrated.

Knob Creek is sounding very good. The bourbon suggestions I am getting are all reasonably priced and available in my grocery, so those will be easy enough (although I might have to go with the Maker's Mark gift set just for the extra goodies).

Scotch is a different story. Definitely a jump in price on those. I do love the flavor and smoothness of Jameson, so I'd like to try Glendiddich (but again, it carries a significant premium over Jameson, Knob Creek, and Maker's). I might have to bug some friends when I'm home for the holidays before I get a chance to try another scotch.

EDIT: similar but side note, has anyone tried Crystal Head vodka? I caught sight of some, and even though it's pretty steep (almost $50), I'm tempted to grab one just for the bottle.

Just half way through a bottle of 12 year old. A pretty good deal these days at $68 Can. The 18 year old is very very fine but pricey.

Some 22-year-old Bunnahabhain from 1989.

Definitely an Islay, but with a sweetish fruity taste. Mellow and complex. I like.

Brother Thelonious.

My goodness this beer is good. I have it chilled to right around 32 degrees. It is voluptuous in flavor, but not at all heavy or overwhelming; rather, I'd say it's perfectly balanced over a broad range. It's smooth, creamy, and yet effervescent. It is ever so slightly tart. It finishes with a mild carryover much like a Merlot. In fact, I recommend it in a wine glass with just a 5 or 6 ounce pour. A pint of this would be overkill and would probably build too much on the tongue; in small sips it is exquisite.

Double Dog. Possibly to be followed by an Expedition. That'll probably do me for the evening. :wink:

Love me some Steadman as long as they're not flying straight at me.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

I am currently repairing / restoring from backup about 30gb of music which was damaged on my MicroSD card on my Galaxy S3, due to stupid bugs in PowerAMP.
Do not use it, vile crap.

PlayerPro it is.

Unless you meant to post this in another thread, you need to tell us what you're drinking while you restore your music files. :wink:

I'm drinking Diet Sun Drop (Dr. Pepper's answer to Mt. Dew).

Jack Daniels on the rocks. My back's killing me and this honestly seems to help a hell of a lot more than tylenol.

Gentleman Jack. I went out for a friend's birthday last night and had some Single Barrel for the first time, so I'm apparently in the mood for whiskey.
