I'm a big fan of whisk(e)y and wondered if there were any other fans here. I even went so far as to take courses in distilling and have distilled my own whisky at a distillery. Having family in Kentucky and having lived in Scotland I am a fan of bourbon, rye and single malt. I also wrote for the Bourbon Zeppelin for a while. I really love the history of bourbon
Current favorite everyday bourbon - Heaven Hill Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond Current favorite everyday rye - Woodford Reserve Rye Current favorite everyday Single Malt - Cragganmore 12 yo or Talisker 10 yo Current favorite blended whisky - Nikka From the Barrel (Japan) Favorite Whiskey experience - Getting to spend time and interview Jimmy Russell, Master Distiller, Wild turkey Favorite all time bourbon, so far - Wild Turkey Rare Breed 116.8 or Old Forester 1920 Favorite all time single malt, so far - GlenDronach 15 yo Revival |

Says the Irishman. I so need to get more familiar with Irish whiskey, a huge oversight on my part. I've heard so many good things about Single Pot Still but hvaen't tried it. Shame on me. Have you tired RedBreast? |

I keep a stocked liquor cabinet for visitors but don't really drink much alcohol anymore. With my meds, It hits me too hard and I pay for it days after.
I do like spiced rum and Irish whiskey like Jameson's. My brother in law has an interest in beers. He brews his own and collects beers from all over. Likes to visit breweries. Have you searched whiskey on pinterest? You might find it fascinating? https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=whiskey&rs=typed&term_meta[]=whiskey%7Ctyped |

Have you tired RedBreast? Strangely enough, I don't really like the most sold one, Jamesons. But Red Breast is decent enough

Huge fan of Elijah Craig Bourbon, either the Small Batch or Barrel Proof. The Elijah Craig 12 yo was better than the Small Batch, but Oh well, bourbon got too popular and they starting running out of stocks. So now Elijah Craig Small Bath is made form whiskies between 8-12 years old. Still for the price Elijah Craig Small Batch is an excellent Bourbon.

I bought my brother a still for his birthday over ten years ago . I still remember sampling his first batch of bourbon and making everyone else drink it first . His skill and quality of alcohol has definitely improved over the years ., he makes all kinds of spirits and liquors .. but his bourbons and whiskies are the best .. very pure and smooth . . When it comes to alcohol I prefer quality over quantity ... it is a special treat I have occasionally rather than Something i frequently indulge in

I’m not a fan of alcohol. I like the way it tastes but I don’t like the way it feels. It seems like a good thing at first, but then I think about it and realize something is not right. One time I bought bread in a plastic bag imported from Germany; it said “ no preservatives, just yeast, amaranth grains, and other natural ingredients. I opened it and it smelled like straight licquor. I could definitely feel the effects of the alcohol which I did not like, but I have to admit more flavor does dissolve with the alcohol.
Some people like the way it feels. Not everyone is the same. |

Somebody told me that one particular Irish political party preferred Jamesons, and the other Bushmills. |

My clan in the Scottish highlands makes its own whisky.
Historical Note: The word whisky is the short form of the Gaelic word uisge beatha, which means water of life. See: The History of Scotch Whisky, Uisge Beatha |

Love this about New Zealand. I watch a guy on you tube from there who distills at home. I think this shows NZ is a very advanced country, ahead of the rest of the world. In Sweden we can make beer for our own consumption, but not spirits. I think this is crazy. Actually thought about moving to NZ just for this reason. But, there was something about having to have a job, not sponging on NZ society. Then there was the fact I'm sure Blondey would block the application.
