I am a pussy, because I like things that taste good and whiskey does not taste good!  What's the point of nicking booze from yer parent's cabinet if you hate it all. Damn you taste buds, damn you.

Whisky. My favourite brand is Springbank. We still have some of a bottle of 25 year old Springbank at home and are very careful with it, because the 25 year old no longer seems to be for sale, and even if it was it would be very expensive. A 37-year old version of Springbank also exists, but I never had the chance of tasting it. Since the 25 year old one already is sublime, the 37 year old must be nectar of the Gods. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I'm actually with Stonas on this one. I never seemed to start liking alcohol, so i just kinda gave up. I have to find some other way to be sophisticated and rebellious at the same time.

I agree. Unfortunately, i live in sweden, so we're huddled in our cocoon for 6 days a week and then we drink until we're just alive enough to tell people we love nasty stuff and hit someone on our way home from the pile of snow where we spent the night. Still, my personal gripe with it is that i can't swallow it, it tastes like poison to me. All of it, even the melon-tasting ciders with radioactive green hue which some people don't even bother trying to get drunk with. : ) -------------

Good thinking. You'll be better off. And is drinking really all that sophisticated? I used to tell myself that I was classy because I drank fine wine, micro-brewed beer, and single malt scotch. Turns out I was still just an alcoholic. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

I haven't tried as much liquor as I have beer. However, I tried some pretty decent brands of both whiskey and tequilla: Johnny Walker and Petron. I'll take the JW every time, no contest.

Tequila, although used to like whiskey more. But to be honest, I barely drink much alcohol anymore, other than the odd glass of wine at parties sometimes. -------------

If you call Johnny Walker "decent" you have not tasted any really good Whisky yet, else you would give it some other rather depreciating name. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

It's one of those things which symbolises adulthood. Also, you get extra points if you say "a glass of wine to the food is alright, but i never drink to get drunk". Except, of course, you still do. : ) Sweden has a very strange alcohol tradition, it's like finland but with less naked men in wooden ovens beating each other with twigs.
That is a great tip! And then i can turn off the lights for short periods of time in between curves while not wearing a seat belt! -------------

I use to love whisky, but somehow I've managed to lose the taste for it, I've a bottle of 10 year old http://www.thebalvenie.com/ - Balvenie that's been sitting in the drinks cabinet half finished for the past 20 years. But now I seldom drink spirits neat, aside from the occasional after dinner Armagnac. ------------- What? |

Neither, thanks -- but if you twist my arm (and buy) I'll take one shot of bourbon, before starting on my beer.
As far as straight booze goes, I prefer dark rum -- a nice sweet, chewy Demerara.

I am a scotch girl rather than a tequilia girl............ things always get a bit mayhem for me with tequila! Now with a nice Laphroaig and a log fire things are much calmer indeed! :-)

well being the poor college student that i am i cannot afford expensive brands and if i listed the brands we do drink on a regular basis i would be laughed out of the forum. mostly a beer man. much prefer tequila to whiskey but most of my whiskey comes in jack and cokes so i couldnt tell you for sure on that one. i wish i had the money to drop on some nice tasteing alcohol. Naddy lights and Smirnoff - combo's getting quite old.

I voted whiskey.
Why?
Because Tequila is too damn easy to drink.
I laid off liquor for nearly eight years because of what tequila did to me.
Even now, I don't drink anything straight.
So whiskey (well really bourbon or vodka) wins by default.

ghost_of_morphy - you've summed up perfectly the dilemma here - to appreciate, but to abstain, too; always aim to reach contentment before capacity - moderation is all
As for tequila being "too damn easy to drink" - I disagree 100%; I vave to say I cannot believe that drink is popular; it tastes like the product of an intestinally challenged goat with a urinary tract infection - horrid, horrid stuff. -------------

Raffaela, Friede and I are wine drinkers too. we never drink more than one whiskey as digestif after the warm meal of the day (which in Germany is eaten for lunch and not for dinner), and it has to be a really good one. we always have at least 5 or 6 malts to choose from at home, one of them for those "special occasions" being very expensive ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

my experience with the stuff too.. I'd add the vile aftertaste of seawater to your goat pee analogy however I do like a nice shot of liquor now and then, it helps with digestion (as Jean noted) and you can't beat it as a cough suppressant.. I usually like a good brandy or Scotch |

OK, speaking as someone who likes both tequila and scotch, I'd have to say each of you haven't had any of the really good tequila. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yes! One spirit I really detested on my first try was gin, then I had some Bombay Sapphire. Still not a big gin enthusiast, but can't pooh pooh gin. Though not technically spirits, beer and ales I've never liked, maybe the whole foamy thing... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
