Scotch for me

I like both, why limit yourself to just one.

Bourbon mostly, but I like both.

Scotch all the way

Irish, bourbon, scotch in that order.

Brunette.

Scotch, Bourbon, Irish and Rye. There are fine examples of all.

Tennessee whiskey.


Kentucky after that.

Bourbon

Bourbon or Irish - Canadian too for mixing.

I never liked scotch for some reason, tho I admit to having a very limited experience with it.

Bourbon

Bourbon Both my brothers drink scotch. My father drank scotch and mother bourbon.

Butter.

Oops wrong thread. Later!

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.

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

That's what cheap Bourbon is for.

Lately bourbon, but over the long run it's been scotch.

Bourbon followed by Rye.

Yes, thank you.

Bourbon. I've had a scotch from time to time along the pathway of life and rarely enjoyed any of them. I've rarely not enjoyed a bourbon, and to each his own.

Taste is a peculiar thing. Lifes too short to not enjoy your own personal drink of choice.

I failed to mention that the 'ice' needs to be back to liquid form and at or near room temp prior to adding bourbon, sorry

Rye for me. Rittenhouse is a daily

This.

Dont do any whisky no mo.
Havent for proly 10 years.

Bourbon 100%, all American and tasty!

Bourbon, Irish, Tequila, Vodka and the Scotch

Bourbon. Jack!!!

Meh……

Vodka, Jameson, Canadian whiskey. I hate Jim and jack. 🤮

Winner!

Bourbon.

Scotch tastes like diesel fuel.

Yep.

18/25 year old Macallan for specail occasions

Scotch. I find bourbon too sweet.

I like good scotch better. But it costs more than I am willing to pay. Bourbon I like too and it is affordable.

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.

Yup!

Scotch for sure

Single malt is great if it’s someone else’s but blends are great too.

Had to.....

What Irish whisky have you tried?

This

I prefer moderately priced single malt Scotch, but a decent Bourbon is fine from time to time. I like the cheaper Evan Williams about as much as any.

Had the pleasure of spending time in Ireland with the guy that wrote the book on tasting Irish whiskey. Had access to his personal stash. It was some amazing stuff! There are a lot of incredible Irish whiskeys but they never leave Ireland.

I have some Irish Poitin.

It's a bit different but definitely not"bland"

Jameson makes a huge range of ultra high-end whiskeys all the time. They make a series named for former presidents... Hyde #6 is one I tried that will rival about anything.

Agreed. Get away from the average Jameson blend behind the bar and Jameson is a great whiskey product.

Whatever's on hand.

Scotch

Neither like me

Jameson (several varieties) Redbreast, Tullamore Dew, Bushmills, Kilbeggan, Green Spot, Teeling, Writer's Tears...off the top of my head.

Most scotch tastes like burnt dirt to me. To cover that up sometimes they make it salty. No thanks.

Bourbon is fine.

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?

I never understood the whole Scotch thing.

Till I had McCallan 18.

Now I understand.

I prefer scotch typically for sipping. Bourbon my least favorite sipping whiskey

For cocktails though, I drink more bourbon by volume

I had the 21. Didn't care too much for it. 18 a lot different?

I pretty much enjoy all booze.... except Scotch
My son in law was a Scotch drinker until I introduced him to bourbon

[bleep] if I know. I can't afford that shidt lol.

Beats the Johnny Walker and Dewar's I'd had before that I based my opinion on for sure.

Scotch ..only I can't afford my palate. The Aberlour, the Lagavulin, the Macallan..oh don't get me started.

Good Irish Whiskey comes second. sometimes hard to find "good" in Alabama

Bourbon is a rednecks friend.

Followed by some really good shine, which I have been able to find here in Bama on occasions.

18 year old is badass!

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.

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.

Agree.

Good scotch and pussy go hand in hand.....

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

Virgil B.

Don’t like either one.

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

Yes, neat is the only way I drink.

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.

tequila !!

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

Kentucky Bourbon.

Islay Scotch

Same here. I've also started dabbling in and taking a liking to ryes.






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 for sure.

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

This.

I appreciate scotch, but much prefer bourbon.

PM sent

Rye. Knob Creek followed by Bulleit then Crown.
Knob Creek has a single barrel select I want to try, but $50.00 a bottle is just over the line.

I am the opposite, not a fan of Bulliet or Knob creek.

Really like BH dark rye, Old Forester, JD single barrel proof, dickle bonded whiskey and some others that I cannot think of right now.

Low rye bourbon followed by wheated

I have 18 y/o scotch taste on a bourbon salary.

Bourbon, with Wild Turkey Rare Breed being my favorite. It has been unobtanium in central Ohio for a month or so. My friend just gave me a fifth of Four Roses Single Barrel this morning for a Christmas present.

Ron

Bourbon .......in moderation of course.

I tried Balcones Rye at 100 proof last night. Not bad.

Bought any Pappy lately....

This is excellent, if you can get it !

Fortunately, in the ongoing fustercluck, whiskeys are many, and help a person cope. Pick your favorite.

+ 100 !!!!

Man, there is just too much ground to cover when doing the bourbon vs Scotch thing.
Especially on the Scotch side where the various types of Scotch are so different from each other.

Gotta narrow it down.

I wouldn't be opposed to giving that at a go!

Bourbon followed by Rye and Irish. All neat!

Scotch. Though some Turkey appeals.

Rapping a rye Old Fashioned and heading to bed.

The one and only bottle of Pappy I've purchased was around 12 years ago. I think it was a bottle of 10y/o and was 1/2 the price of 18y/o Glenmorangie, at that time, which is my goto 18y/o Scotch. I can rarely find Buffalo Trace in my parts, much less Blanton's or Pappy.

Larceny is my recent favorite. It is also a wheated bourbon like Pappy, just from a different distillery. In my opinion it is the best "cheap" bourbon option. Although I've also grown fond of Ezra Brooks too.

Bourbon







Few decent ones

That non-chill filtered Four Roses was really fine when I had some a few weeks ago.

That rabbit hole is good stuff too mathman. 👍

cognito brain training android

Scotch more but I don't turn down bourbon.

Derringer

Larceny....
When you love the taste of a musty, dirty, moldy root cellar

Beam makes some much better stuff IMO

They do!

Need to grab a jug of that some time.

Bro Jud, I need to try some Four Roses Small Batch. Regular 4R nothing special. My taste buds were underwhelmed by the Basil Hayden but lots of folks like it.

I like Macallan scotch and have a bottle of 25 yo given to me at retirement 7 years ago. Waiting for that really big bull to crack it open!

Cheers! 🥃

No, that ain't it.

I agree the first sign of good Bourbon. I’ve tried bourbon from other states and wanted to like them, but I haven’t found any better than Kentucky’s.

Bourbon. Though my cigar store guy has been giving me samples of high dollar scotch that you can't buy here and they are surprisingly good. He's in some sort of scotch club in Scotland. The bottles go from $150-400 a bottle. Good stuff! I'll never buy it! Bourbon is the King!

Haven’t dranked any in a while and probly be longer afore I drank any again. But if I did it’d be Old Grandad Bonded. High rye mash 100 proof.

#1 Good Bourbon on the rocks
#2 Blended Whiskey with mixers
# tie for 3 & 4 with Irish Whiskey and Rye
# 5 Scotch. It’s not that I don’t like Scotch, I just really prefer very good Bourbon over all else, so it gets picked first

*due to Ranch Water becoming a personal favorite this past summer, good Tequila (Anjeo and Resposado) have been coming on strong recently

Never a bad choice!

Have to agree with Ted on this. Pretty nasty.

The Rabbit Hole Rye is pretty tasty as well as their Bourbon.

Scotch of course

Baller! 🤙🏻

My boss just gave me a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch for a Christmas present. Damn it's good!

Ron

My buddy bought me the bottle of Four Roses small batch and I was drinking some the other night and telling my wife how good it is. She went to Kroger (Grocery store) the next day to do some grocery shopping and bought me another bottle to enjoy during the holidays. Lord I love that woman!

Ronn

Bourbon.

Osky

Las Vegas made bourbon. I’ve been to three cock fights and a buzzard Fugk, and that beats all I’ve seen.

Irish - Red breast

Scotch - highland park a good middling scotch.

Bourbon - hard to pick a favorite too much variability from batch to batch ...kinda like RL 22.

I did just open an exceptional bottle of wild turkey rye so one bever knows.

It’s actually pretty damn good jack. 👍

But that was funny 😂😂

I find this to be true also

Bourbon

I'm on the backside of a mild case of the Rona and all bourbon tastes like liquid black pepper. Luckily I still get honey and fruit from speyside scotch and light Irish whiskeys.
Having a generous pour of Quiet Man 8 tonight.

I put out two Jack Daniels packages with a fifth and two Spurs tumblers in each for the trash pick up guys this AM. They replied with a long honk from the truck.
