I love whiskey thread
I've recently acquired a taste for Jack Daniels and would like to explore elsewhere. I prefer whiskey on the rocks and know very little about other types. Any guidance or opinions on whiskey?

Another easy-to-find, fairly inexpensive, good value to try would be one of the common "Glen" scotches - Glenfiddich, Glenlivet. I'm quite partial to Glenlivet, myself.

Re: I love whiskey thread
What kinda price range? In general I would recommend finding a Scotch at the highest possible price bracket that you can swing. Scotch is where its at for whiskey bro.

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, but are you aware of how many things fall into the whiskey category?
Jack Daniels is a Sour Mash Whiskey. It's not technically bourbon, but I can't name any other sour mashes. Scotch Whiskey, on the other hand, is a very different flavor. How far reaching are you trying to go here? |

[/ QUOTE ] scotch is a totally different animal from jack (or, for that matter irish whiskey and bourbon). if you dig scotch, you'd do well to try as many of these as possible: The Six Classic Malts http://www.diageobrands.com/brand_pa...ssic_malts.htm |

Re: I love whiskey thread
I tried to drink Jack and Jim Bean - trying to maintain some stupid idea of authenticity to some unwritten musician's code that I should be drinking one of those two whiskeys.
Then one night I was at a bar where Jameson was half price, and I fell in love with it. (bitch didn't love me back, but that's another story) so I say Jameson Irish Whiskey. Also Tullimore Dew - think I drank that at the Excalbaur. RB |

Re: I love whiskey thread
I share your love of sour mash -- try George Dickell.
