Favorite distilled spirit

Don't know if there are many drinkers around here but if you do, what do you like best?

I enjoy Scotch and Bourbon. Not much on the clear stuff and not a beer snob. I'll drink what is cheap and effective.

 

Mezcal! Tastes like smoky tequila.

 

Sauza blue tequila.

 

That Ta'killya must keep yall fella's warm up there... haha.

I do enjoy a shot or two of Patron every so often.

 

Love that stuff but HARD to find around here

Bourbon is my favorite.

 

Used to drink Patron but found this stuff is so clean and pure that I don't even get a headache if I have more than I should. Plus, at $18 a bottle its easier on the wallet.

 

NH state liquor stores usually have a selection, the cheaper stuff with a worm, and the better stuff too...

 

Lagavulin. 'nuff said.

 

Not so much any more, but scotch, rye, rum, bourbon. No order with the exception that bourbon is always last choice due to the after burn. And the rum better be good.

Any of it goes into a glass by itself though. Nothing else with it.

 

Bourbon for me.....sometimes a good rum if I'm feeling like a pirate.

 

George Dickel and Santa Fe brown ale.

 

Tito's

 

If you like Tito's vodka, you should try luksusowa vodka. Made from potatoes in Poland. Like a proper vodka should be made. Tito's, like most vodka available in the states is made from grain instead of potatoes. You can make vodka from a lot of stuff, but you get the most yield from grain. You get less yield from potatoes.

Don't get me wrong, Tito's is fine, but it's not as good as luksusowa, and Tito's costs more. Around here a 1.75l of Tito's is $30-$32. The same 1.75l of luksosowa is like $22.

Try it, you'll like it.

Me, I'll drink anything. Within reason. Scotch, not so much, but I like bourbon, rum, tequila, whiskey, beer, wine ( red usually, but a few whites), champagne, jaegermeister, Brandy ( only in old fashioneds though), port, hmmm.

 

Ok, if I can find it, I'll try a bottle.

 

Cold river vodka is made in Maine from potatoes too.

 

Usually cheap vodka - sometimes mixed with Kahlua and cream (yah, I know, white Russian). Other times a shot of Dr McGillicuddy

Just had a bowl of vanilla yogurt with Vermont Ice swirled in (I splurged because it looked interesting). Next up some Vermont Maple Cream Liqueur (part of that splurge thing).

 

You shouldn't have trouble finding it.

 

Probably ate 100's of worms out of Monte Alban back in my younger days! Now I would most likely throw up if I walked by an open bottle.
