Here's a question for the gallery: How many different whiskeys have you actually tasted? I mean really tasted, not mixed, not chilled, and if cut it was with a small fraction of spring water.

Which way do you lean these days? I'm coming back around to really appreciate bourbon and rye.

A few dozen or so. Used to be a hobby of mine to try a new cigar and a new whiskey every week or two. Not a whole bottle, just a couple fingers worth. Now I usually stick to what I like. But when I have the chance to get together with friends, I'll sample a new one if it's around. We don't gather in pubs anymore. Usually at a cigar lounge or garage. I swear cigars and whiskey taste better in a friend's garage.

Which way do you lean these days? I'm coming back around to really appreciate bourbon and rye. That's a tough call. I just enjoyed some Jefferson Small Batch - good stuff, but I lean more towards single malts. I have Highland 18 and Lagavulin 16 in the cabinet now - along with some Buffalo Trace Special and a Whisky Pig in the Rye category. I guess it depends on the day and the weather. The colder, crappier, nastier, uglier the weather...the better and better that Lag 16 goes down!

Old Forester "Signature" 100 Proof, largely because of the low price, but it really is pretty good stuff.
Bushmills "Black Bush" is easy to like, but a little harder to pay for.
I'd really like to try the Redbreast 12 yr. old and the Wild Turkey "Rare Breed", along with a few others, but I'm afraid I might like them. ($$$)

I like Knob Creek when I can afford, about once a year for Antelope camp.

Well, no one has mentioned yet Four Roses which is my favorite bourbon; closely followed up with my favorite Tennessee whiskey, George Dickel. Iffin y'all can't deal with that then my fall back is Beafeaters gin. So there! I like British sports cars too!

Absolute favorite is Glenfiddich 15, but a close second is Jameson Irish Whisky.
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites
