For those who enjoy a few drams of “the water of life” the web sites http://www.smwsa.com and http://www.duncantaylor.com should be visited. One of my favorite neat sipping whisky’s is The Macallan 18 year old. Enjoy.

I never got into the whole craft beer thing, but I have been looking for a good rye whiskey. I don’t think I’ve seen that around before.
Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel for me tonight, paired with a nice cigar.

Maybe you’re like me…I dunno, but I see the whole craft beer thing sort of like garage bands…people will sit around (white people of course…usually college educated ones) naming them off till they get to one the other guy hasn’t heard of…once one guy gets to one the other hasn’t heard of then BAM! That’s the one that now becomes the best craft beer according to the guy that has drunk it…some stuff that’s only made for one day every 4 years and they only make 3 bottles of it and it comes with a birth certificate and has some animal in the name, like dog or warthog or the name of some forgotten tribe that lived there fifty million years ago.
I’ll have a domestic beer and my buddy will tell me “That’s not beer!” So then I look at the label, point at where it says beer and then contradict him.

Maker’s Mark reverses decision to dilute bourbon.[/quote]
While I don’t like Maker’s Mark at all, this will prove to be a good decision for them. People are still pissed at Jack Daniel’s for lowering the alcohol content from 45% to 43%, and then again to 40%. They’ll probably keep many of their loyal customers by not diluting their product.
Ancillary, but I’ve actually got some unopened 45% JD bottles on my whiskey shelf from the early 80s. [/quote]
Has anyone tried Makers 46? Much different from regular MM?

100% accurate, IMO. And even if there are a handful of good craft beers, you literally have to suffer through hundreds of bad beers to find the diamonds in the rough.

So I did decide to try out Rebel Yell. Too sweet for my taste. Not bad in general, but it really was surprisingly sweet. For under $20, I think I’d rather go with Canadian Club.

Kinda off-topic, but Costco house brand beer, really? I guess it’s not as bad/generic as it sounds?
I am not much of an adventerous drinker and have come to limit my choice of liquor to different whiskey variations. Wild turkey 101, Jameson, Crown, and Beam, when I’m cheap, are what I have settled on as my rotation. I do have a question for those more experienced in whiskeys, is there a solid scotch to be had for under $40? I have tried several but havent found one that wasnt harsh yet.

Finally managed to find some here in Australia, and am surprised at how good it actually is.
Tried Bulleit for the first time a couple of nights ago. I shared with some co-workers. It was a hit. One guy hates bourbon and it took me 6 times to get him to try just a little. He said, “I am going to go buy a bottle of that it is so good.”
I also tried Chevas that night, but that was really harsh. Bulleit was very smooth.

Yeah, I had about the same experience with that as you. Gave the rest of my bottle to an old college roommate who is just going to shoot it anyway. Will have to get my hands on some Glenmorangie and try that. Have never really been able to find a scotch that I enjoy.

You may just not like scotch. I’m not much of a scotch guy, but there are some I enjoy.
I thought maybe you were a scotch guy but only expensive stuff, and you were looking for something a little more affordable.

Na Im just cheap. The scotch’s I have tried I found to be very harsh but thought it might be due to it being a cheap scotch. I guess I have been kind of suprised by my dislike for the scotch’s I have tried due to my love of all other things whiskey.

That was the first whiskey I ever bought all because it was the one Connor Macleod drank in Highlander.

Missed your reply. I like rebel yell for the price. And it has a cool name.
Did you drink it straight or on the rocks?
I love bourbon, but bourbon is bourbon.
If I am dropping big dollars, It’s single malt scotch

Nearly any craft beer is better than a coors, bud, miller etc…
You just have to know what style of beer you like.

Budweiser is the king of beers. The king. Do you know what that means? It means no beer is above it. It reigns supreme across every beer in all the land of beers. It’s king.

Budweiser is like sex in a canoe. Fucking near water.
BTW Wild Turkey makes a very good Rye whiskey.
When peole say a beer is too watery I tell them I’m not looking for some challenging-to-drink orc draught.
Even light beer compared to regular beer…4% to 5%…it’s not like the regular beer is that much stronger than light beer.
