Members .homewrecker. Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sorry to derail but what do you smoke? Anything good Typically Partagas, Punch, Padron, AVO and Gurkha but I try justabout any I can get my hands on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bricks & Bones Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 What we call Scotch Whiskey, the Scots call, Whisky and if you ask one, they'll tell you that only the Scots make "whiskey." Should be made of pure barley. I'm not a corksniffer, but corksniffers turn their noses up at Glenfiddich, which I don't get because it's a nice one. It's smokey and fruity and milder than other types, especially the Islay stuff which is real smokey and can get astringent (though I do like it). The advice the guy gave about Glenlivet is good, too. Good entry points, these two Glens. Other types of whiskey: Irish Whiskey: Don't know it too well but the method is "Triple Distilled," and if you ask an Irishman, he'll tell you if it's not triple distilled in an Irish pot still, it's not Irish whiskey. All I know is I love that Jamesons 12yo on the rocks. Bushmills is popular, too. Pretty sure it's pure barley like the scotch. American Bourbon - lots of good stuff out there. I think it's mostly corn, but I'm not sure - maybe mixed with other grains. Try Jim Beam. Good mixer with coke. I don't have any bourbon in the house, but it can be nice. Evan Williams is nice, too, and inexpensive for the 15yo stuff. Nice and sweet and smooth. American Rye - Don't know it too well but I use Wild Turkey Straight Rye as a mixer. Too spicey on its own. Canadian Whiskey - Very popular in the States eve since prohibition. All the greats: Seagrams, Windsor, Canadian Club. Basically a smoother Rye blended with other grains. Great for mixing. For neat or on the rocks, try Crown Royal. Corksniffers scoff at it but it's a world class whiskey and so smoooth. Those are the main ones, I think. Just Woke Up. tl/dr.Will have a look after work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CrystalLake Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm not a huge mixed drink fan, as I really avoid pop in general... but if I get one, it's a Crown and cranberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sommy Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Whiskey mixed with ice. It's unfortunate that my drink du jour right now is Maker's Mark, and it seems like every time I drink it, I get a hangover without fail I don't get hungover off of anything else.

Members saturdaysaviour Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Manhattan is the way to go. Sometimes I switch it up with Absinthe + a bit of lime juice + top off with ginger ale (in a rocks glass). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nomenclature Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Caesar. Can be difficult to get a good one, and most likely not outside of Canada.I enjoy switching it up though, martinis (typically classic dry gin, never vodka and rarely fancy variations), white russians, palomas, manhattans, the typical boring doubles of X & Y mixes...
