Message: [QUOTE="Nāraṅga, post: 3399117, member: 7408"] Great thread. My husband and I love bourbon and scotch. We trend towards the Highland style. He drinks it over ice and I drink it neat (for which he gets endless crap from his buddies). Our dogs (3 Vizslas+ 1 Boston Terrier) have been named after scotch's and our cats have been named after bourbons. The scotches/bourbons were chosen more for the names than the taste but we have come up with some winners. Bookers (Booker-RIP Ocicat) and Ezra Brooks (Ezra-current Maine Coon) are the cats. Bookers is still one of my favorites. Ezra Brooks is fine but better for mixing than sipping. Oban (Obi-RIP), Bunnahabhain (Boone-RIP), Auchentoshan (Tosh-current), and Shackleton (Shaq-current) are the dogs. Oban is great and Bunnahabhain is very good. Auchentoshan was a little too peaty for me so those of you who like Laphroag and Lagavulin might like that. Shackleton is decent too but not as interesting and I didn't mind using it in cocktails. Buffalo Trace is my go to distillery also. Because of the great price I'll use Buffalo Trace in cocktails but I am perfectly happy drinking it neat. Eagle Rare is a slight step up, and any of the Pappy's are amazing. Other favorites already mentioned are Basil Hayden, Blantons, Woodfords Reserve, Highland Park, Jameson, Whistle Pig, and Angels Envy. Others not yet mentioned that I can pull off the top of my head are Knob Creek, Glenmorangie, and Jeffersons. Another peaty one than I'm struggling through is Cragganmore. My preferred glass is the Glencairn since I like it neat and, because of the ice, my husband prefers a regular lowball. We've tried round cubes, square cubes, frozen granite stone cubes, and various size cubes. Because he likes some melt-off, my husband's favorites are uniform medium cubes. If you like it up, try the stones, and if you're somewhere in between, try the giant spheres or cubes. [/QUOTE]
