Bourbon, by a long margin. But I like Scotch, Irish and Japanese whisky as well. Even rye is good every now and then. You can keep the Canadian stuff though.

I never understood the whole Scotch thing.
Till I had McCallan 18.
Now I understand. 18 year old is badass! It isn't what it used to be. If you ever see a bottle of Macallan 18yr from the 1978 distillation season go ahead and get that second mortgage.

Damn George, you gonna invite us over or what? To the OP’s question, bourbon. Neat. But I like scotch as well. Having some tonight. Johnny Walker Black.

For going cheap I find Bourbon holds up much better than Scotch as I descend the price scale. Agree.

Good single malt Scotch for special occasions. Irish for every day drinking.

After 50 plus years the only bourbon I buy is Elijah Craig and Bulleit. Love Aberlour Scotch and rye.

I like all of it, it just depends on the day. Bourbon, Scotch and Rye all neat and in no particular order. Irish would be last as it just doesn't have much of a flavor profile. What Irish whisky have you tried? Jameson (several varieties) Redbreast, Tullamore Dew, Bushmills, Kilbeggan, Green Spot, Teeling, Writer's Tears...off the top of my head. Well, if Redbreast and Green Spot don't suit then Irish isn't for you. Is it safe to assume you didn't pollute them with ice? Yes, neat is the only way I drink.

I prefer scotch by a large margin. Folks on here know my tastes run towards the bottom shelf. My all-time favorite is Scoresby. For someone with attenuated taste, this varnish remover/industrial solvent has a honey-like finish.
I like your attitude! I just wish I could develop the same. My tastes get too expensive at times.

I can't handle any corn whiskey, after a near-death experience in my very early 20s. The mere smell will have me hurling. Scotch has such a varied palate it's impossible for me to say. So much variation. The ones I have enjoyed tend to be high priced; to me, decent mescal is as enjoyable and with at least as varied nuances. I prefer rye whiskey over either bourbon or scotch for just relaxing.

Scotch ranges wider than most other whiskys. From peaty Islay to the many upland and coastal varieties Something for almost anyone.

I like both, why limit yourself to just one. Same here. I've also started dabbling in and taking a liking to ryes. Bourbon, by a long margin. But I like Scotch, Irish and Japanese whisky as well. Even rye is good every now and then. You can keep the Canadian stuff though. I pretty much have the same opinion on all the Canadian whisky I've swilled down over the years. But someone on another whiskey thread here recommended giving 40 Creek a try. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on a bottle yet so, I'm still open to finding a good Canadian.

Bourbon, especially the wheated versions. Most Scotch tastes like medicine to me.
