09.19.11 | It tastes like water. |

09.19.11 | this list is everything i dreamed it would be and more 10/10 |
Scoot
09.19.11 | fireball and apple juice awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah |
Wolfhorde
09.19.11 | Good list. I'd actually be tempted to try some of these (already tried some of 1&2), though it's not that easy to find a good 4 or 5 here.
I don't know if my ethic code agrees with someone putting apple juice in his alcohol, Scoot. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | Johnnie Walker FTW |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Looking at about $120 for the Van Winkle and $50 for the Blanton's. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | wow great list. I saw an episode of No Reservations where Bourdain drank some Rattlesnake whiskey, which is pretty much the manliest thing Ive ever seen.
That said, i dont drink whiskey anymore. It never gave me a happy buzz, I was always pissed off when I drank it and the hangovers are from hell. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | Angel, Crown is some good shit. Also, Wiser's Deluxe is a decent Canadian Whiskey for the price point. My favorite was always Jack Daniel's though. |
psykonaut
09.19.11 | awesome digs as well btw |

I've heard that before but never understood it. How does whiskey make you mean but another liquor like tequila not? |

Ouch |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Well, it's not exactly something I would recommend ingesting a lot of - especially the good stuff. I generally like to enjoy a glass before or after dinner and also while smoking cigars with friends. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | "I love old fashioned's with rye"
One of my very favorite cocktails. That and dirty martinis are probably my go-tos when I'm not having beer or wine. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | If only vices were so easily sampled. ;^) |
Wolfhorde
09.19.11 | I've never understood how any liquor can give you mood changes. Also, I never had a hangover from whiskey, but I also pretty much refuse to drink the cheap stuff and when you drink the good stuff you don't wanna waste it by just pouring it down. |
DominionMM1
09.19.11 | How does whiskey make you mean but another liquor like tequila not?
I've wondered that myself. But it's true. Whiskey mellows me, teq and jager make me aggressive and hostile. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | All alcohol tends to effect me in a similar manner - at least, in the mood sense. But then again, I have a pretty good grasp on tolerance. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | I dont have a scientific reason Omni Im just going off experience, and trust me, I have more than enough drinking experience.
Beer and Wine have always been the best buzzes for me.
Vodka is a nice even keel.
Whiskey is destruction. Maybe I subconsciously reached for whiskey when I was already pissed off, taht is a possibility. |
Wolfhorde
09.19.11 | Same here, Angel. Though I also rarely ever had problems with hangovers and having to puke and stuff like that. But meanwhile I generally only tend to drink for special occasions or just because I enjoy it. |
Athom
09.19.11 | my mom gave me a handle of bombay so now im on a gin kick (and its still hot as balls in LA). i can't wait for whiskey season.
|
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Nice. I was never a huge gin fan until more recently. I still don't know a whole lot about it, but I'm starting to find a lot of cocktails that I like with gin. Still more partial to the vodka martini, though. |
Wolfhorde
09.19.11 | Good gin can actually be pretty good. We started off the birthday of a good pal in the summer with some gin and a barbecue. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | The first time I ever got drunk was off of Silver Wolf (bottom of the bottom barrel) Gin. Needless to say if I touch the stuff now its top shelf only. The lowest grade I will drink is Beefeater. |
iFghtffyrdmns
09.19.11 | yeah crown is way too "smooth" for its own good, though I do enjoy a crown and ginger ale from time to time.
I wanna start getting more into scotch but being in college means all we really drink is natty ice and vladimir vodka, which is an abomination to this list but oh well, sorry. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | "Whiskey is destruction. Maybe I subconsciously reached for whiskey when I was already pissed off, taht is a possibility."
I secretly suspect his to be the answer for all I've ever heard that from. ;^) |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | "Good gin can actually be pretty good. We started off the birthday of a good pal in the summer with some gin and a barbecue."
I fucking love a good Gin man. |
DominionMM1
09.19.11 | "I secretly suspect his to be the answer for all I've ever heard that from. ;^)"
I'm sure it's true in many cases. But I'm still convinced that different kinds of alcohol have varying effects on some people. |
Athom
09.19.11 | i love gin. it tastes like christmas. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | "I'm sure it's true in many cases. But I'm still convinced that different kinds of alcohol have varying effects on some people."
And how they are processed by the body, I agree. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | "i love gin. it tastes like christmas."
YES! and Gin and tonics taste like summer. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | a good Gin or Vodka tonic is probably the most refreshing think ever invented. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Yes, quite possibly. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | I prefer the complexity of the Gin but there is something to be said for a god vodka e.g. Kettle One. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | Angel, three features in a row for you. I officially hand over my 2010 Best List Maker crown to you. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Really moving up in the world lol. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | lol |
FrankRedHot
09.19.11 | Angel, I think I'm in love with you. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | I had a shot of Johnny Walker Blue label once. It was pretty damn good, even better since it was on the company tab. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Thanks, Nick.
Only thing better than drinking great whiskey is drinking great whiskey for free. |
Nagrarok
09.19.11 | three features in a row this must be a record |
FrankRedHot
09.19.11 | I've had Glenfarclas a couple of times, and it's probably the best I've ever had. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Not sure about that, but three features in a two-week period might be. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | Has anybody tried Louie the 13th? |
FrankRedHot
09.19.11 | Remy? I've had my chances, but I wasn't willing to spend the money |
BigHans
09.19.11 | yeah the Remy Martin shit thats 3 grand a bottle. I never have and never will unless someone buys it for me, which means I never will. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | No, but I doubt it's worth it's price. Black Pearl even more so.

09.19.11 | James Martin's is my fav scotch |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | "I had a shot of Johnny Walker Blue label once. It was pretty damn good, even better since it was on the company tab."
The regional Johnny Walker bag piper/representative played for my wedding (friend of my brother in-law). He had a cane with a flask built into it Filled with Blue Label. He gave us both a shot before we went down the isle... that shit is seriously the bomb. I strive to afford a bottle one day. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | lmao 56k for a bottle of cognac. That shit better be at least 150 years old. |
omnipanzer
09.19.11 | "Has anybody tried Louie the 13th?"
No! but I really want to. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | thats awesome Omni |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | If I had thousands of dollars to drop on whiskey, I'd much rather get a rare vintage of scotch than some over-hyped liquor in a pretty container. |
BigHans
09.19.11 | how much would a 30 year old bottle of The Macallan run? |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | About a grand. This is what I'd really like to get my hands on, though:

jefflebowski
09.19.11 | I don't wanna be an asshole, but Scotch, Canadian and Japanses whisky is spelt without the 'e'. American and Irish whiskey is.
Aside from my pedantic undoings, 20 yr old Glenmorangie is where it's at |
FrankRedHot
09.19.11 | "I don't wanna be an asshole, but Scotch, Canadian and Japanses whisky is spelt without the 'e'. American and Irish whiskey is. "
Too late. |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | It's spelled either way. Locale has no bearing on the spelling, just personal preference - much like "gray" and "grey". |
ohfoxxxycole
09.19.11 | Jameson is so good |
AngelofDeath
09.19.11 | Hmm. The New York Times seems to have recently spurred this distinction between the spellings:

Whatever. They can suck it. |
ilikeforests
09.19.11 | I used to work winters at a nursery and the other redcaps (outdoor bitchworkers) and I would take turns bringing whiskey to share over some hard, cold labour. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a beverage so much in my life, awesome list |
iFghtffyrdmns
09.19.11 | i need a whiskeeyyyyyyyy riiiiight nowwwwww |
wabbit
09.19.11 | Canadian whiskey is good...dunno what you are talking about esp because we mainly make rye which you seem to like.
list is awesome though the brands listened seem a bit on the steep price side for most sputnikers. |
FrankRedHot
09.19.11 | Stop speaking for all sputnikers. Just because you live with your mom doesn't mean they all do. |

09.19.11 | I had a real heavy night on a variety of boozes when I was 17, and it's put me off whiskey for life. Shame, because my mates who drink it love it. Vodka's more my tipple of choice, it's a hangoverless drink for me :] |
Jruined
09.19.11 | Thank's for reminding me I'm full of thirst and my cabinet is low. Time to go get a bottle of Michter's Rye and Blanton's.
Good stuff. |

I had the same problem. it took me almost 10 years before I could drink whiskey again. |

09.20.11 | lol I still can't drink Honey Brown because of that night. |

09.20.11 | I have to agree with BigHans. I love me some whiskey but it sneaks up on me and makes me belligerent. Has anyone had the new Jack Tennessee Honey? |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | It's not bad - a little gimmicky but a good reasonably priced buy to drink with friends or to mix with. |

09.20.11 | japanese whiskey is actually so good. theyre so funny they were suddenly like hey whiskey kicks ass lets learn how to make it then boom suntory and yoichi are winning all these competitions and shit hahaha |

To sweet for my taste. |
Ovrot
09.20.11 | This list makes me want to be an alcoholic |

09.20.11 | This list can't make you want to be an alcoholic. It can only help you to realize your potential and listen to what is in your heart. |

09.20.11 | it sucks donkey ass |
omnipanzer
09.20.11 | ish dont think so!
There is a lot of shit that comes out of Canada (whiskey that is) e.g. Black Velvet or Canadian Club but Glen Breton, Canadian Mist and Crown are all decent imo. |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | Canadian Mist and Crown both suck. |
Scoot
09.20.11 | i can't drink rum any more because of st.patrick's day |

09.20.11 | D'awww everyone bonding over liquor. I'm touched. |
Wolfhorde
09.20.11 | "whiskey is gross"
I really felt a little bit of hate & disappointment reading that. |
ZippaThaRippa
09.20.11 | Hey now. Don't ruin the vibe. Bottle of jack is 17 euro at the grocery store. That's fucking expensive. |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | Not really. |
Wolfhorde
09.20.11 | That's not even remotely close to expensive for whiskey. Especially since I wouldn't even touch that stuff when I'm already drunk. |
omnipanzer
09.20.11 | @ Zippa: Not at all |
ZippaThaRippa
09.20.11 | It's expensive for a teenager alright XD |
Wolfhorde
09.20.11 | Then save your money and buy a good (expensive) bottle instead. |
BigHans
09.20.11 | It's drinkable. Here are my other alcohol-related lists in case anyone's interested that hasn't already looked them over:
^ Im beginning to think Angel is an even bigger drunk than me. |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | I do drink a lot but not to get crocked. |
BigHans
09.20.11 | Unless I at least get a small buzz I dont see the point of drinking. |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | Because it tastes good.
But yeah, I'm buzzed a lot. |
Wolfhorde
09.20.11 | I think some stuff goes pretty well with food, but mostly it goes well with good company. A nice evening with some pals, poker, maybe cigars and some good whiskey sounds fine to me. |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | Yeah, that's right up my alley. |
wabbit
09.20.11 | "A nice evening with some pals, poker, maybe cigars and some good whiskey sounds fine to me."
this but a lot of whiskey and poker turns into drinking games...and cigars may turn into weed |
AngelofDeath
09.20.11 | If you're getting together with frat douches maybe. |
Ire
09.20.11 | u have the power to turn cigars into weed woa |

Also I was drinking Bushmills 21 yr with my best man last weekend with some Cohibas after he found out his wife was pregnant. Was awesome. As usual, Angel alcohol-related list is now bookmarked.
I prefer Irish whiskeys and Scotch. Bushmills and Glenfidditch being my favorite brands. |
ZippaThaRippa
