I feel so low rent in this thread. I have tried all the Glen this-es and thats and I still like a nice glass of Chivas Regal over 1 big ice cube. So kill me.

If I could only have one spirit, it would be vodka. Not because I like it straight but because it is so versatile. That said, I spent an amazing evening at the now defunct Russian Samavar in NYC enjoying an amazing variety of variously flavored vodkas. It was so pure that despite the fact that I drank more vodka in one night than before or since, I woke up with a crystal clear head and no sign of a headache; however, there is a high likelihood that our third child was born 9 months later! My go-to vodka is Tito's. It's nothing fancy but it is solid, especially for the price. My favorite gin is Monkey 47. It is so good that it is a shame to add a lime to it in a gin & tonic. Speaking of tonic, I now am in love with Fever Tree - so much better than Schwepps or Canada Dry.

I prefer the Russells Single Barrel (red label) to the 10 year. Big fan of EH Taylor Small batch and Woodford Double Oaked as well.
Got lucky and picked up a Michters 10 year a couple weeks ago, haven't cracked it.

I LOVE bourbon and scotch; it's the best. However, my wife bought me PX Rum from Mad River Distillers in Vermont, and it was FANTASTIC. It wasn't overly sweet and reminded me of a not-peaty scotch--almost like a sweeter Macallan.
It's one of the only rums I can drink straight.

If I had to pick something to drink other then bourbon, scotch or whiskey, I would go with Tequilla. Take your favorite Tequilla, rocks glass one round ice cube and add a squeezed lime call it a day. But that is certainly my fourth option lol.

A bourbon/whiskey drinker, that wasn't a fan of Tequila, had some of this at my house. There's always some in his cabinet, now. One of the only one's I'll sip. No lime required.
I won't spend the same amount for Tequila that I might for scotch/bourbon. Never cared to look further.
Corralejo Tequila Reposado Review
Although my experience with tequila is mostly limited to cocktails and a few tasting lessons on my honeymoon in Cancun, I am never one to shy away from a challenge. So when Corralejo Tequila asked Bourbon & Banter to review their Reposado I was only too happy to answer the call of duty. Since I...

Far less drinking stories that start with, "We were sipping 10 year bourbon neat", end with "and then I woke up in a trash can and couldn't find my pants."In the hangovers/bad decisions of my youth forum...

I have yet to develop the taste for whiskey/scotch/bourbon. I haven't tried TOO many, but it's because I just don't really like it. No idea how people can sip it. Not sure I will ever enjoy it.
I like gin and tonics, bloody mary's, rum and cokes. But I cannot drink liquor straight.
