Anyone know much about whiskey?

[Darth Wagtaros]

Or both.

I usually get Old Granddad.  Or Evan Williams.

Whatever happened to Suntory?

In any case, there are almost no liquors as good as the best single malts.  Some very few cognacs are near them, but cognac is a scam wrapped in a marketing packaged wrapped in a rapper.  Top Irish whiskeys can match top bourbons, but no rye whiskey can match top bourbons.  Some few vodkas are transcendent, but frankly, they are not worth the delta over the midrange.  Vodka is as big a scam as cognac.  The best rums are better than the best ryes, and may equal good bourbon.  If vodka is the crescent wrench of the liquor world, and rum the phillips screwdriver, tequila is the hex wrench.

I don't understand all the hatred I have seen towards rye whiskey.  I guess languish just hates Canadian whiskey.

Canadian (rye) whisky is totally different than (American) rye whiskey and, unfortunately, probably doesn't even warrant mention in the OvB/Scipio world of analysis. 

But I'm never one to say no to a Canadian Club and ginger ale.       I'm also partial to Seagram's 7 as a shot.  Canadian whisky is as smooth as the driven snow of its true North.   

I am also partial to Canadian Club and Seagram's 7

We'll raise our huge tumblers of Canadian whisky high on Sunday in honor of the National Basketball Association and the Boston Celtics.

I've decided to drink some whiskey.

Actually, this thread inspired me to buy some Drambuie for my Dad for New Years.  He mentioned that it was favorite.  He used to be a bar tender, and so presumably has a lot of knowledge of drinks.  And fights.

My wife got a bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag cherry flavored bourbon to make some dessert recipe she had. I tried a nip, and omg it was awful.

Yeah every time I see the commercial for that stuff, it makes me almost cringe.  I've had "black cherry" flavored booze before and it seems to be just universally bad.  At least to me.
