Exactly!Another question I guess, if people love it so much how do you not get plastered every time you drink it from drinking too quickly or fast? After all, straight liquor is a drink you’re supposed to sip. But if you truly love it, seems easy to drink.
Just saw this. I still don't get notifications when someone tags me even though I have it turned on.
And there it is!

About the indexing - it could happen but people would have to go back and edit their posts to something like: [type : scotch - brand: glenmorangie 10 year] to denote type of spirit and brand with optional year, flavor etc
Either way, a couple of thoughts...NineOneSeven, I hate to be that guy but I think Dewar's is a blend - I am fairly snooty with naming things as "Scotch" unless it's a single malt and from the old country
Case in point, my favorites are Glenmorangie original 10 year - I always have a beast 1.75 liter bottle hanging around. For the good stuff, I go with the Balvenie 14 year which is aged in Caribbean rum casks.
I don't care what folk say, I need mine with a little ice. My dad was scolded in Scotland when he asked for the good stuff with water. Still. I need it to take a tiny edge off, but I still enjoy the taste. I drank J&B in high school which I didn't know at the time was a blend. I can't go near that stuff now - tastes just change.
If you want to give it another go, get Glenmorangie and throw a few ice cubes in it, let it melt and give it a try. That to me, is one of the easier Single Malts, no fire - fairly mellow.
For Irish Whiskey - it's all about the Dew. Tullamore Dew. But I don't drink it much anymore.
I know that burbon has made a comeback but I don't do it anymore.
I am with NineOneSeven in that Gin and Tonics are a tasty drink. Aside from that, when it comes to Cognac, I go for Corvoisier VSOP. All brandy is nasty to me, but Corvoisier is pretty nice.
Compass BoxYep, good points. I just don't have the taste for any of the blended scotches I've tried, even the expensive ones with the big marketing budgets. The one exception is Monkey Shoulder. Very drinkable.

I think with the sweetness of cognac, I'd suggest a Jamesons.

yes! Drank so many Negronis before meals this summer. I like to sometimes substitute cappelletti for the Campari. When I can find the cappelletti. A well made Negroni may be the best cocktail in the world.

Is that Tavour? I use Beer Drop but might be switching...
It’s actually delicious. Basically alcoholic Yoo-hoo. Haha
I am much more of a wine guy but was buying beer for someone and found "Agustiner". Heard of it?there should be a sub-forum for craft beer, bourbon and wine discussion, with trading allowed.

Have you tried a Paper Plane? Super nice for summer. Equal parts Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro, and lemon juice. I like Amaro a lot better than Aperol so I sometimes adjust the balance. To make it a little lighter and because they are too easy to guzzle, I'll sometimes also add a bit of zero cal lemonadeDrinks of choice have been Negroni or Boulevardier
The Italian in me likes the touch of bitterness.
