Got ill after drinking too much Bourbon circa 1982 and have not touched any whiskey since then!

Bourbon ain't whiskey. Real whiskey drinkers understand.

I was never a big whiskey drinker but I remember sneaking some Wild Turkey out of my Dad's liquor cabinet when I was a teenager. That was some potent stuff.

"Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat. Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get. No escape from the state of confusion I'm in.

Booker's is a nice bourbon
Redbreast is my favorite Irish
lately Avion Silver Tequila is drink of choice-feel much better in the morning than brown liquor

Frank could you show some consideration to your fellow IORRians?
It's like drinking whiskey and eating green olives...

My cocktail of choice recently has been an old-fashioned: simple sweet and to the point. Normally I make them with Canadian Club, but I'm curious to try them with rye. Canadian whiskey's btw do not classify strictly as rye (rye has to be made from 51% rye, while Canadian Whiskey's often do not have that amount rye,largely more corn) so I want to know what people's preferences are for a good rye.

My absolutle favorite: Rye whiskey! Van Winkle Family Reserve is the best in my opinion, but over here in Holland expensive. Templeton, Old Potrero and Rittenhouse are very good too.

But the go to rye would be Old Overholt. It is one of the cheapest, but it just has a very good, spicey taste. Good for blending with ginger ale, and good for drinking pure.

Mathijs

Overholt has an interesting history...the drink of choice for Doc Holliday:

[en.wikipedia.org]

Thanks for the suggestions for Rye. The only real rye I had heard of was Beam Rye, but I wasn't sure how that tasted, not being a fan of Beam.

Old Rip Van Winkle Bourbon. Impossible to tell a lie once you have had a couple shots.

I have learned that J.D. is not actually bourbon but tennessee sippin whiskey. Don't know the difference except that boubon apperantly must be made in Kentucky. Love Makers Mark myself but must admit being Canadian I haven't had much experiance in the bourbon field and there could be many better bourbons out there than this. Is Rebel Yell really rated as a better product? Found a bottle of it once yrs ago and thought myself it was shit.

Jim Beam. I used to like Wild Turkey 101 back when it was aged 8 years and had a real cork stopper. Then all of the sudden it was aged 3 years and had a plastic twist off cap. The quality just did not seem the same so I quit buying/drinking it.
I despise scotch, JD and also vodka. Jim Beam is cheap, tastes good and gets the job done. That's all I need in a bourbon. I am not into buying expensive top shelf bourbon. If I'm going to spend ALOT of money on a bottle of liquor then it damn well better be Gin.

Over here both the 8 and 3 year versions are sold. I understand the 3 year version was introduced as a fire destroyed a large warehouse in 2001 or so.

Would be a scotch connoisseur if I had the cash. However, as a poor man, I enjoy Chivas and Cutty Sark as reasonably priced scotches. I like Inver House as a cheap scotch.

Canadian - Crown Royal

Bourbon - Jim Beam

Basic I know, but there it is.

You're a man of the people. Of the drunken people, to be more specific.

Jack Daniel's hasn't been the same since they changed the formula from 86 proof to 80.

Much prefer Wild Turkey 101 or Maker's Mark now.

Sorry Jack - you screwed up bigtime!
