Whiskey vs. Bourbon vs. Scotch battle royal!

[RossMAN]

Edited the poll slightly to accomidate the finer half of the species

ROTFLMAO

Threads and posts like this are one of the many things I miss about good 'ole ATOT.

Try Aberlour Abunadh(sp?). It's undisclosed age, and cask strength. I like it much better than the standard offering.

I will take that advice, thank you. I haven't yet probed all of my avenues to acquire rarer scotches -- in my state, liquor sales are thru state-run liquor stores only, so everything I've purchased was by necessity available "off the shelf," so to speak. The selection is still pretty good, but certain specialty scotch is a rare find indeed. We recently passed some legislation to open liquor sales to private businesses, but I haven't take the time to figure out what that means (if anything) in terms of taking delivery of distilled spirits from out of state.

One scotch one bourbon one beer.

 

[Lifted]

Nice. Looks an awful lot like mine. In fact, I think your bottle of Nadurra is exactly where mine is at.

Oh, and I've only poured maybe 3 or 4 times from my bottle of Laphroaig, and the cork broke in the damn bottle. :|

 

[busydude]

Scotch.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Every scotch I've ever tried tasted like a dirty sock that just wiped out a dirty ashtray. Gimme whiskey

 

[The Boston Dangler]

brown liquor tastes like it comes from the hardware store, not the liquor store.

 

[Zebo]

Rare times I drink it's vodka and ice cold OJ/GFJ/Cranberry juice. Gotta get vitamins when i poison my body. e.g. vagina who does not enjoy any of these

Seriously I like Glen Morangie.

 

[Colt45]

Irish, followed by a toss up between bourbon and rye. depending on how I'm feeling I'll drink any of those.

Scotch is shit. It's like they took perfectly good Irish whiskey and filtered through a bog that was on fire, so it tastes like fucking burnt moss. WHY?!



Your poll is a gigantic POS. Does 'whiskey' mean Irish and Canadian/rye? or all whisk(e)ys? did you fail hard?

 

[xSauronx]

depends.
bushmills in my flask
bourbon in my juleps
scotch on the shelf

 

[Anubis]

lol did you sneak into my house or something?. counting from the left i have bottles 1,3,4,5 & 7 in addition to a few others sitting on my shelf

highland park 12

so did mine
i used one of the wine topper things to seal it after i got the cork out, looks stupid but it works

 

[DigDog]

no way.

i can't srsly believe there's anything in the lead before whisky.

------------------------------

scotch is a mishmash of whatever whiskey is around for sale, put together and bottled "cuz it gets you drunx"

bourbon is what you make when u wantz to get drunx but have no "proper materials"

whisky is heaven. the water of life.

unless ofc u drink rubbish whisky; in which case it's poison.

maybe you should extend this poll to include "i have drunk sinle-malt, full-cask whisky" and "i have never drunk single-malt, full-cask whisky"; i doubt anyone can make a point as to why a corn-based spirit is better than a 19yo Port Ellen by Rare Malts.

Doublewood! That's the bottle I'm currently working on.

I also have a "joke" bottle of Scoresby ($7!) which isn't as similar to paint thinner as you might expect. That's only used for mixing.

Scoresby is a lot better than the price would indicate. I have a hard time "recommending" it. It does make a decent mixer if you like that sort of thing, and it can be enjoyed straight. It's good you want scotch, but are absolutely broke.

 

[crownjules]

Scotch (single then blended)
Bourbon
Irish
Rye

Just scored a liter of Johnny Walker Black Label on sale at the duty free shop for $35. Yum yums.

Yea, I keep the bottle around so people don't destroy the beauty that is Doublewood, or whatever other more respectable bottle I have.

I'd flip out if someone used one of my good scotches for Coke. Anyone is welcome to as much of my whisky as they want, but don't do stupid shit like put it in some nasty sweet concoction.

I suppose that would be one of my quirks(going to the quirky woman thread), but I think it's justified.

Indeed. Its one of my "house rules" which are literally posted up on the wall.

Good scotch > good whisk(e)y > good bourbon

but

cheap bourbon > cheap whisk(e)y > cheap scotch

I would have had a different vote until recently where I was introduced to Glenfiddich Solera reserve:
http://jason-scotchreviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/glenfiddich-15-year-old-solera-reserve.html

Soooo good... one of the only whiskeys I can drink straight up without mixing it with anything. I actually like to drink it out of a wine glass. So much flavor, and such a nice balance.

I love to mix crown and coke, but if someone poured some of my Glenlivet / Glenfiddich stash in with coke I would have to choke a b1tch.

Usually I have a massive sweet tooth, but not when it comes to my scotch. I can tolerate scotch and soda(If you are drinking whiskey in India this is a must; there is no way in hell that one can drink neat).

It is either with a splash of water, on the rocks or neat.

Impressive - now I have a nice list of what scotches to try next!

 

[ElFenix]

anyway, rye > other whisk(e)ys.
