What to drink?

[SomeGuy]

I realize this is a day late, but...

Personally, the Knob Creek. Or the CR. It's made w/ corn & has a nice sweet finish.

Wouldn't have laid money down on the Jim Beam or the Gretzky. I would have needed a taste of the CC12 before I bought it, too. Was never a fan of regular CC. Never tried the Signal Hill or the Dillon's. I have a bottle of Jack that's been in the fridge freezer for probably a decade or longer. Rarely makes an appearance any more.

CC12 - really smooth, easy drinking, actually one of my faves, much better than regular CC - neighbours bought me the first bottle and I'm hooked
CR - well, everyone knows this one
Gretzky - with gingerale and lightly poured is a nice taste surprisingly, but def not good by itself
Signal Hill - Quite good, similar to CR but not as distinct
Dillons - hated it, have only had one or two out of it
Knob - just like jack lol slightly better though
Jack - just like knob? lol everyone knows this one
Jim Beam - takes me back to the campus watering hole while in school, so gross but memories

The other one I do like is the Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve, but none left even the double barrel is ok from them though.

Is there a reason you keep it in the freezer? I think I'm about to learn something new today.

Doesn't freeze, but needs less ice to have a cold drink...I usually freeze my glass as it takes up less space lol

Lame, No tequila!

There's a couple bottles in the liquor cabinet...this was just the whiskeys, there's another few dozen bottles of other stuff...rum's, vodka's, gin's, tequila's, liqueur's, etc.

Another nice one to keep in the freezer is White Owl. Nice sipping whiskey. Haven't tried 12 year old CC, all i remember is how bad the stuff was back in the day. Sadly i don't get to sample whiskey much anymore, damn diabetes.

You guys ever try Sortilège? That's a nice Sippin bottle.

First it's tools I've never had now I'm wanting drinks I've never even heard of! Why do I keep coming back to this place?!

30% liqueur? That ain't no whiskey lol

Sure, by "definition", but it's pretty damn tasty.

Honestly didn't even realize that until you mentioned it.

Glengoyane & Glenfiditch (Scottish Single Malt Whiskey).
My spelling may be wrong, it has been 30 years since my wife and I toured the distillery in the Scottish Highlands.

Yeah. To keep it cold...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I discovered that I preferred Jack cold. If you throw in an ice cube or two, it cools it but also dilutes it. Not what I wanted. I'm not hoity-toity enough to buy those fancy rocks you can throw in the freezer & then into your drink, hence Jack in the freezer.

Now that's an answer I can relate to and appreciate cuz it makes sense!

Thank you!

I love Gendronnach 33 year. But on a new years party the rest of it disappeared! (sad face).

I try to stick to Islay style scotches - more flavour, and less burn...

I managed to buy a bottle in Scotland for 220 euros, before it went waaay up in price. It was an incredible drink. There are a very limited number of bottles left.
