Good scotch is a pleasure. However, on the occasions that I cozy up to whiskey, it's usually Jack Daniels Black. Sorta like the old name of bourbon and branch. Sometimes I forgo the branch part.
I'm essentially a Budweiser and really expensive tequila fan. I love really good margueritas. Cheap tequila tastes like turpentine. My last trip to the liquor store got me a pint of tequila that cost me $67.00. At that price, you gotta ration it and hide it when your son in law comes into town.
However, when it gets cold outside I like De Kuypers Apricot Brandy. Take a sip of that stuff and you can feel the warmth spreading through your body. If you're not careful, you'll get so warm that you can fall of deer stands and bass boats.
I don't like vodka in any form. I recently mentioned that to a friend. He was doing a consulting gig in Russia and brought me a bottle of the best, most expensive Russian stuff. It was unobtainable in the US at any price. He told me to put it in the freezer for a couple of days and sip it straight. Ok, I tried and then returned it to him. It brought back 50 year old memories of projectile vomiting in a friends brand new Ford convertible. As I recall, my girlfriend broke up with me after that deal. I thought that was kinda narrow minded at the time.
