I didn't want to load the dice so I put some fair photos up there. Have at it you rummies.

ReplyDeleteMy vote is bourbon, particularly Woodford Reserve as my numero uno favorite with Makers Mark coming in as a close second.
While not a bourbon, I still go to my all around standby Jack Daniels when I want to get all homey and cozy. You can't beat the taste of charcol flavored whiskey and a nice C-gar.
I can't drink Jack Daniels since I got sick on it when I was about twelve years old and it gets me sick ever since.
ReplyDeleteMakers Mark is a fine cocktail though.
Last night we watched MadMen and make a drinking game out of it. At first we were going to take a drink whenever someone took one or lit a cigarette. But we would have been soused in the first five minutes. So we changed it.
ReplyDeleteWe took a drink everytime a pregnant woman took a drink or lit up a cigarette. We still got toasted.
I love TV.
Pappy Van Winkle. Finest Kentucky bourbon you'll find. I am somewhat disappointed that rum didn't make the list. Afterall, the Puritans didn't call it God's good gift for nothing, you know.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough one, because some vodkas are really, really good (Smirnoff), and some are just awful (Absolut); some bourbons, likewise. I agree with troop, Maker's Mark is terrific (we've been to the distillery in Loretto, Kentuck and it's a lovely part of the world).
ReplyDeleteGood to see so many of you lugs appreciate Makers Mark. I know I'm in the right place.
ReplyDeleteTrooper, are you a big MadMen fan? My wife loves it but I've had a hard time getting into it.
Wine is good for cooking, bourbon is good for cakes, beer works in stews and bread, vodka is good for disinfecting wounds, and scotch is good for boycotting.
ReplyDeleteAs a Nashvillian, I must recommend George Dickel. An outstanding whiskey. And go on the tour if you are ever in the area, after you have toured Jack.
ReplyDeleteBut honestly, I am a beer guy.

Bushman, fret not: I'm a big Christina Hendricks fan, and I've had trouble getting into it, too.
ReplyDeleteGood scotch. I rarely drink it, because I like it too much. Kinda like that Lays Potato chip ad.
ReplyDeleteI like to drink - but I don't like to get drunk, so I stick to wine.
Gin
ReplyDeleteI don't like to drink, can go decades without, but a good single malt is enough to turn me into an alkie. So, I don't drink. Or smoke. But dang - some days it sure would be nice to light up a stogie and knock back some whiskey.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna happen...
Beer and wine are good and that is what we tend to have with meals.
ReplyDeleteAs for the hard stuff, I divide this into two categories: Types that last a long time, which I get a 5th of and stuff I go through and so buy the larger size. The large size things I get are bourbon and tequila. Since tequila isn't on the list, my vote goes to bourbon.
Jim Beam regular for mixing and black for sipping on the rocks.
People talk about Scotch, but they don't actually vote for it.
ReplyDeleteC'mon folks, There's no paint a good, single-malt Scotch can't remove.
What, no Irish whiskey? Among people I know, we can get a good argument going about the merits of Jameson, Bushmills, Paddy, Powers, and so on. I think the sweetest whiskey I've ever tasted was a 9-year old Powers. But the bottle of Jameson that a friend doing some renovation work in an old house found inside a wall, this was from about 1912, now that was fine whiskey.
ReplyDeleteMidleton is outside the realm of regular drinking, but take it when you can.
For beer, I'll take either Guinness or Smithwick's, depending on what I need to do later, or the temperature or humidity.
Gin, Plymouth in particular.
ReplyDeleteNothing does me right like 8 or 10 ounces of Plymouth, except maybe Klonopin or fentanyl.
