I don't often get that with whiskey, but I get it ALL THE TIME with rum. There are times where I'll find a really great spiced rum for example, and it'll be really smooth and the spices aren't overpowering, then I'll have it the next week and it'll taste so sweet I want to puke.

I've always been more of a fan of Scotch than American whiskey. I always found it to be a bit more refined, smoother etc.

I was raised on bourbon and american whiskeys, its very diverse. You got your sweet Tennessee whiskey, your more complex rye's, Kentucky bourbon (yes its different) and then the plethora of strait bourbons..

I haven't got a taste for scotch. Gotten down on some Johnny Walker a few times but don't care for it enough to buy my own, had some pretty good Glen Fiddich as well but those two are the only memorable scotch brands I've had. The others were cheap shit that tasted like poison. What's a good budget brand scotch to start with? I don't wanna drop $60-$100+ on a bottle of something I don't quite have a taste for just yet.

It took me a while to truly appreciate bourbon, I'm willing to give scotch another go.

Corona sucks but modelo especial is good, so is negra modelo. The negra is you guessed it, dark. Almost a Mexican take on a boch.

You don't have to buy a whole bottle of something to find you don't like it. It's more expensive per drink but if you go to one of the more classy bars in your area and say you're keen on sampling Scotch and are wanting for recommendations, I'm sure they'd give you some suggestions.

The rather standard, popular scotch is Chivas Regal 12yo, but to be completely honest I'm not fussed on it. As I mentioned earlier, things like Laphroaig and Lagavulin are excellent, so see if any local pubs have them and you'll save yourself having to buy a bottle if you don't like it.

In fact, most of the Islay single malts are great. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_whisky_brands#Islay_Single_Malts

Being from kentucky I ultimately respect bourbon. Scotch-wise you mentioned johnny walker. I've gone with the red label before and was not let down. I've yet to try the rest but look forward to.

been interested in japanese beers lately. especially like asahi super dry. i like sapporo as well, but none of my local liquor stores stock much more than that. what's the rules on importing?

also, if yall want a cool way to get a lil goosed, buy a camelbak (the one I had held 2L of liquid, I believe you can buy a bigger one though(google it if you have no fuckin clue what a camelbak is), buy a can of frozen orange juice, a can of gatorade power (I recommend fruit punch personally), and a bottle of vodka. get a pot, fill it with 3 parts vodka, 1 part water (you can obviously change this depending on how strong you want it), heat the water up (not to boiling, but at least to the point where its too hot to dip your fingers in), then dump the frozen orange juice log in there and mix it (ideally probably only use half of the log, save the other for later since it's much more than you need), and then dump a fair amount of gatorade powerder in there. mix well, put it through some type of sieve (not totally required, but will help your camelbak not get filled with gunk). stick that shit in your fridge for a few hours to cool, once cool toss it into your camelbak and you've got one fucking highly alcoholic beverage that tastes like orange fruit punch that you can drink all night by just sucking on a small tubular straw.

the best part is, girls always ask what's in your camelbak, and then they usually ask for a sip, then you get nice and close to em while they suck your camelbak. then, if they get real slutty with it, you know she's lookin for the pipe, and you can also tell if they get real toothy with it or not. plus she'll get fucked up off of your 45 proof fruit juice

the real only downside is washing the camelbak the night day. you gotta make sure to wash it GOOD otherwise mold will develop and it'll be just downright disgusting

tucker max?

No way! Open up a can of TECATE. Best beer in mexico in my opinion.

 

[Anet390]

An ice cold beer straight from the cooler is the smoothest thing in the world. I really hate shots of anything that's not vodka. Favorite mixed drink is a White Russian (milk/cream, vodka, and Kahlua) but Jack and coke is a close second.

Suggesting tecate is the best beer in mexico is like saying natural light is the best beer in the US. Jesus Christo.

Try modelo, Victoria or pacifico and get back to me. Tecate is a watered down attempt at an american style lager, sure its OK on a hot summer day but it is what it is. A watery american style lager.

I like a couple of these after bud light.

my favorite!

The owner of the bar I was at was a big Pats fan and insisted on giving a group of us free shots of Don Julio 70 throughout the night ... It was beyond easy to take it... +1

If I could only have one drink the rest of my life:

 

[HaloLegend]

all types of vodka for me lol.

 

[Mullet]

JD and Coke is my only drink.

Used to smash the cheap wine back in the day, but grew out of that. Not really much of a drinker anymore.

 

[Sun]

I can only drink vodka honestly. I've yet to find anything else I won't gag at drinking.

 

[ColemanRay]

I've recently started drinking and I have come to find that I enjoy beers and some liquors... Bacardi 151 is strong as shit and it's good mixed. I would prefer to drink a summer time beer or even a rum and coke!
