i thought you said markey mark for a second
It's possible, he is a banker.
Glenlivet 18
I need to taste the Caol Ila and the Ardberg.
- My favorite: Lagavulin 16 y.o. Extremely peaty and smoky.
- I got the chance to taste a Bowmore 25 y.o. a few weeks ago and that was spectacular to say the least.
- Talisker is a must have also. I have the 10 y.o. at home... Can't find the 18 y.o. anymore. It's smoky, but not as peaty as the the Lagavulin for example.
- Macallan 12 and 18 is always nice also for a lighter whisky.
- Another great one and I think lesser known is the Springbank 15 y.o. I finished my bottle, but I'll certainly buy another one.

Drinking a little of this at the moment (it's been a long day)
I love Irish whiskey

Split a bottle of that with a friend, it's good but the ardbeg is way better.
I've been enjoying Rittenhouse 100 Proof Rye lately in old fashioneds, manhattens, and sidecar-type thing with lemon and simple syrup.
Called a Sazerac. Invented in New Orleans pre-civil war. I like them but prefer an old fashioned.
about to finish a bottle of Buelit Rye. I like that stuff.
Four Roses Single Barrel now. love it neat.
Cyrus Noble bourbon. Distilled in Kentucky, aged in San Francisco.
Good? Friend recommended it but from past experience his recommendations are kinda hit or miss.
famous grouse blended scotch....
do NOT recommend.
First scotch I ever had, my then 22year old GF got it for me when I was 18. It still tastes just as bad.

whoa...adding brown sugar to bourbon? that's kind of new/neat.
did some whiskey drankin' last night. Had some Sazerac Rye & some Kinnickinick Whiskey (local sorta) all in old fashions. want to try the sazerac neat.
Bulleit Rye isn't bourbon.
Picked up at the local booze store on super sale! $43 + tax!
Happy Deathday to me!

How is it? I had some once and wasn't terribly impressed, but I'd already had a few really good scotches that evening.
I love it.
This I look forward to trying (once this baby comes out...11 weeks and counting)!
These are excellent choices. The Macallan is very easy on the palette and goes down oh so smoothly.
I miss whiskey/bourbon...11 more weeks!
Maker's Mark, keeping it simple tonight.
Will be pouring a jar of Black Maple Hills as soon as I am done with this Founders Red Rye.
Wife bought me a bottle of this for my birthday.
I was drinking it neat until I was talking with a co-worker who organizes tastings. He said to add a little water and the taste will explode. I thought it was amazing already, this stuff is fantastic with water.

Meh. Though I picked it up on super sale for 43 bucks, so hard to beat.
I had the honor of having a few slow shots of Stranahan's snowflake whiskey the other night, and it was AMAZING.
I'll admit the main reason I bought this the first time was because there was a bike on the bottle. But I bought it a second time because it was gosh damn delicious.
Gotta say, this may have passed Stranahans as my favorite whiskey, its amazing. Plus its 10 bucks cheaper.
