Re: Doin\' a home game in seattle for OOters, also, need input on alcoh
Oh, I just noticed you were looking for some input on whiskey as well. I don't think Crown Royal is worth the money, especially if you're well stocked in bourbon. Really, Canadian whiskey doesn't add much to your bar if you already have bourbon, Scotch, and Irish whiskeys. Neither does Jack Daniel's, actually.
If you're looking for Scotch, the selection is wide, and the sky's the limit. A decent, inexpensive blended Scotch is Johnny Walker Red. It's great for mixing, and decent for sippng. If you want a good single malt to sip neat, I enjoy Balvanie Scotch, but there are a lot of good choices. Since Scotch isn't heavily marketed like other liquors, price is a very good indicator of quality.
I also noticed that rum was conspicuously absent from your shopping list. I really enjoy Meyer's dark rum, and Bacardi is fine as a light rum. If you just don't like rum, ignore this input.
