Honey Jack
Jameson
Makers
Crown

Haven't drank Vodka in ages. Drink more wine than hard liquor now while at home. Drink tequilla, but not sure what kind as the wife makes those drinks, something with fresh orange juice/lemons/limes/agave/who knows what.

Only drink Honey Jack with 1 pint of smith forge hard cider, 2-3 shots of honey jack and half lemon squeezed into the glass. Nice way to start off the evening if your intent is to get a nice buzz going.

Other than that, a good whisky (not the cheap shit...) or a nice Obstler is always welcome. Sherry of course is always a great choice as well!

A nice shot of Jack Daniels every now & then never seems to be a bad idea...

A nice shot of Jack Daniels every now & then never seems to be a bad idea...

Not judging or anything, everybody has his own taste of course.
But: Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker, Jim Beam etc., just don't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, they are not bad or anything. But one of the reasons I'm a little whisky fetishist so to say is, that I want to taste something. Getting drunk is an effect (that can be nice sometimes of course), but it is not the reason I drink whisky etc. I once heard the comparison, that Jack Daniels is the vodka of whiskys. imo, that is kind of true --> you drink it, it is okay, sometimes even good, but nothing that gives me the special something. For me Jack Daniels is the kind of thing you use to mix, drinking it pure is just not worth it for me. When it comes to whisky, I enjoy the different sensations: turf, smoke, tastes of sherry in it, salty, grassy, oily, fruity, honey, oak, citrus, vanilla, etc etc etc. I have tasted a whole lot of whiskys that I didn't like, but because they had a taste I didn't particularly like. Doesn't mean they are bad whiskys, just not my taste. And that's the thing, why I don't like Jack Daniels and co; for me, they have nothing special (good or bad). You can drink them, and they are ok and that's it. It's like alcohol with water and a little sweetness and that's it. But when you drink a (for example) Highland Park 18 years, you either LOVE it or HATE it. And that's a thing I like very much. When it comes to Jack Daniels, there is nothing to hate, but nothing to love as well. It is basically an alcoholic drink and that's it.
But I feel the same when talking about cars, watches etc for example. I bought a Mini last week as a 2nd car to have some fun with. Now there are a lot of guys that HATE this car, but others LOVE it. There is not much inbetween. Look at the Citroen Cactus: IMO it is a goddamn ugly car. And I LIKE that, because at least I have an opinion about it. Now give me the VW Passat and I have basically no opinion about it because it has nothing special to it. The 1st Renault Twingo was a genius car, because it was really special and something that couldn't be compared to any other car. Now the newer models of the Twingo are something you see from a lot of companies. You could take the Renault sign off and put a Mazda (or whatever) sign on it and people wouldn't notice.
But again: tastes are different and it's good that they are
(And I agree of course: it is not a BAD idea at all, just not a GOOD idea for ME personally )

No need to sugar-coat it zizou, you're right.

It's all subjective yeah, but there's a reason certain whiskeys are more prized than others. If you're able to slow down and really get into the good ones, it's really hard to go back. There are some great craft American whiskeys that are not widely available, but keep an eye out for brands like Hudson, Stranahan's and Westland's if you can ever manage to get it out there. Japan and India believe it or not have some killer versions.

George Dickel the the one I have on the shelf though. Nobody I know from Tennessee drinks Jack, they all drink GD.

Too old and experienced to have favorites. Whatever vodka is wherever I am. I personally buy Absolut. Drink Grey Goose at Harrah's.

Whistle pig has a good distinct flavor. Not the cheapest but I'm a fan.
