The beer thread was popular so here goes.

First of all, since the NCAA's last visit I have decided nothing good comes from Tennessee including their liquor. I have placed a ban on Tennessee whiskey and found out I can live without Jack Daniels. I like Kentucky whiskey such as Knob Creek as well if not better.

I have also taken a liking to Rum now that I have found some really great rum instead of the just good rum sold in most US liquor stores. La Favorite Blanc and Rhum Clement VSOP are the best to me.

I really like good vodka and Belvedere is my favorite. I don't know what the infatuation with Gray Goose is all about. It's too harsh for my taste. My second favorite vodka is the lowly Absolute. If I want flavored vodka I flavor my own.

I like Scotch so well I collect them. Without counting I probably have close to 50 bottles of Scotch with varying levels of Scotch inside each bottle. My favorite for the present is Dalwhinnie. It's a lighter, smother, more fragrant scotch good poured over ice.

I don't have much use for Gin but keep a bottle of Plymouth for company.

Tequila, there is a bottle of Herradura Blanco and some Mayor but I don't like Tequila very much.
 
My husband loves 10 Cane Rum out of Trinidad.

Unlike you, Bayou, I refuse to give up my Jack and prefer the Single Barrel variety. Only drawback is that the Single Barrel can vary in taste bottle to bottle. For consistency in quality and taste, try Gentleman Jack.

For a good mixing rum, try the Puerto Rican born Don Q.
 
I like tequila
patron and cabo wabo blanco

Jack Daniels -- it likes me, and I like it! :)

I really haven't found much else that I like to drink. Most mixed drinks are either too sweet or too sour for my liking. So, I stick to Jack.

The weather turned darned Arctic on me in mid-September when I was up in Northern Minnesota for a weeklong camping/kayaking trip.

A brought a long a flask of Stoli Vanil. Kept me pretty warm on the couple of nights the temps got down into the 20s.

Booker's.


randalls_1967_68531798



In 1988, Booker Noe introduced his own signature bourbon,
Booker's True Barrel Bourbon. Inspired by a 200 year-old tradition,
Master Distiller Emeritus Booker Noe, grandson of Jim Beam, created
his very own bourbon. Unlike anything you have ever tasted, Booker's
is the only bourbon bottled straight-from-the-barrel -- uncut and
unfiltered -- a true connoisseur's sipping bourbon.

First created as a holiday gift for his special friends, Booker's whiskey was so
well-received that he decided to make it available to bourbon lovers worldwide; much to the joy of spirit connoisseurs everywhere. Booker's Bourbon delivers a range of intense flavors from oak-tannin and smoky vanilla to lighter tones of mocha and coffee. Add spring water to customize the taste and finish to your palate. The complexity provided by this straight-from-the-barrel bourbon makes Booker's the rarest, absolute best bourbon you can buy.

Booker's Bourbon is the only uncut, unfiltered, straight-from-the-barrel,
connoisseur's sipping bourbon available today. It's bottled at its natural proof of
between 121 and 127, and aged between six and eight years. Booker Noe, Jim
Beam's grandson and master distiller emeritus, hand selects each barrel that will
become Booker's Bourbon. Each barrel that will become Booker's bourbon is aged in the very center of the rackhouse where the temperature and humidity combines in the perfect proportion for the finest bourbon. This is truly the absolute best bourbon available.


Booker Noe

Booker Noe, sixth-generation Beam and grandson of Jim Beam, joined the family
business after graduating from the University of Kentucky in 1950. Booker proved to be a quick study, and in 1960, became the master distiller of Jim Beam Brands Co.

This world-class distiller became a true American legend in 1988 when he
introduced his special bourbon, appropriately named Booker's. This landmark
bourbon was the first to carry the Small Batch designation. As Booker says,
Booker's Bourbon is the way bourbon used to be, the way it was meant to be.

Yes this is a real Scotch Whiskey and I have a bottle in my collection. Back when the English posed a tax on all whiskey made in Scotland some whiskey makers got past the tax by making whiskey and calling it something else. That is how Sheep Dip came about. It's not a bad scotch but has a slight gasoline smell to it. Taste is light with hints of orange peel, heather and toasted bread.

It's $50 in local State stores in Alabama. 125 proof, unfiltered and is as smooth as you can imagine. Knob Creek is good and another in this family is Basil Hayden. It is about 80 proof and like Booker's it is very smooth.

Personally (in addition to Budwieser products) I drink tequila beginning in the spring and don't switch to bourbon until football season starts. I brought back some tequila from Cozumel that was better than anything I had ever tasted before....a local told me the key was to get something that was 100% aguave....if it is it will be on the label, anything else is a blend. I had been drinking Cuervo Gold but discovered it was a blend.

By far the absolute best liquor I have ever had though is a little thing we call "Jackie Watson"............my friend who I have been going to games with for over 30 years knows the fellow that makes the stuff. I first tasted it in 1975 (or thereabouts) and with rare exception drinking a miniature at halftime has been the ritual at every ball game. It is distilled in a stainless steeel vat and when we get it its clear. We put it in a wooden keg and as it ages it becomes darker similar to store bought bourbon/whiskey. It is usally 150 proof or better and smoother than any store bought whiskey...the only thing close is Booker's.

I do not like mixed drinks.....tequila is taken straight with salt & lime and bourbon/whiskey is taken straight with a chaser.
