  [quote]Single malt, on the rocks only....lots of whiskey very little rock ;-)[/quote]  Shame on you, on the rocks !!!!!  You can't spoil a good malt with water, it must be taken straight. There IS no other way to enjoy it.

  Wicklow, I don't know for sure, they are pretty secretive about their recipe (lol).  If you like dark rums, I'd recommend trying this one.
  
  Alex,  although the post is titled Whiskey and We, I think it's OK to include any other distilled spirit that tickles your fancy.

  Thanks Mike, I'll try anything once and if I don't like it, then I'll send the bill to you.
  
  Happy drinking,

  I like my whiskey neat, or on the rocks. My favorite Bourbon is Woodford Reserve & my favorite single malt Scotch is Highland Park 12 year old.

  I like Maker's Mark, but for those of you on a budget, I am quite impressed by the smoothness of Evan Williams considering its insanely low price.

  I'm also impressed by the taste of Evan Williams.  I recently tried their honey bourbon - very smooth.  Some excellent bourbons mentioned so far.  I've seen the Kraken  on the rum shelf - I'll have to give it a try.  Still working on another bottle of Black Seal.
  
  
  
  Cheers!

  WATER...... It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter Of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more Than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, We are consuming 1 kilo of poop!However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, Vodka, beer or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a Distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.It is better to drink wine and talk sh*t than to drink water and be full Of sh*t.There is no need to thank me for this valuable information, I am doing This as a public service.

  I wish I could afford Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, any smooth single malt straight to sip on.  When in the mood for Scotch, it's Scoresby or another low shelf brand.    Lately, since I'm allergic to pain meds have been drinking vodka with either V8 or pineapple juice.  If it's rum I want, it can only be Mt. Gay Eclipse that is rum tasting.  Wray makes a good sipping run as well.

  I have tried most types of whikey over the years and come to the conclusion that price has very little to do with one's taste. These are my favourite drinks and cost far less than many others on the market, and in my opinion are far superior to many of the overpriced ones.

  You guys gotta try a Rye whisky.  My favorite is Templeton Rye that just turned legal in about 2006. It has been produced since before prohibition in the Iowa foothills and was a favorite of Capone, he would stop and get it on his travels to the Kasas city area.  It is truly the smoothest ever.  It is however hard to get outside of IA, Ill or MO.

  Being Canadian, I'm partial to rye whiskey and Canadian Club is the basic drink.  But being Scottish, I'm very fond of the single malts.  I don't care for anything blended.  And I've never developed a taste for bourbon or Irish whiskey.

  Discovered what has become a new favorite over the summer.  It's a brand from Sazerac called Fireball - Canadian whiskey infused with cinnamon.  Great during the cooler climes and equally good on the rocks in the warmer months.  I don't think it's available everywhere but if you can find it give it a try.

  I enjoy my JD single barrel.  In the winter the JD winter blend is great.  But only available in certain states and months.  So i stock up and also take a few battles to florida with me in the winter
