I just don't want something that tastes like paint thinner.

I'd just like to remind some of you that Permafrostville doesn't exactly have the largest selection of premium whiskey. Rotgut, yes. Good stuff, no. :crying:

Especially the Elijah Craig 18yr old.
My favorite sippin bourbon is Blantons. This stuff is fantastic!!
As tedski noted and one that doesn't get a lot of recognition is the Elmer T Lee. This is an excellent pour that is very reasonably priced. When I really feel like treating myself it is a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 20yr old. This stuff is pure heaven and IMO it doesn't get much better. The 23yr old is completely out of my price range so I can't comment on it. If it is that much better than the 20yr old, it is probably a good thing I have never had any or I might be in need of some :help: (financially)!!:halfgrinw
Some other bourbons that I always keep on hand and enjoy are Ancient Ancient Age, Buffalo Trace, Bookers, Knob Creek, Woodford, Stagg, Eagle Rare 17yr and Sazerac Rye 18yr.
I am a huge fan of the Buffalo Trace distillery. They make some excellent bourbons.
I think that said it all.
Stick to ice water and coffee anymore, but Bourbon was my drink and Blanton's was at the top of a short list, neat of course with a water back.
Any Islay scotch over 12 yrs is worth whatever it costs.
Depends on what you like. I have a bottle of Lagavulin (make that half a bottle), which is 16 yr. Single Islay Malt. It is not my favorite, much more of a highlands scotch man myself. This particular Islay bottle is really peaty. If you don't like that taste, you won't like this bottle.
I'm a big fan of the Lagavulin. Maybe you just need to send it to me and let me show you how to appreciate it! hehe
Islay scotches tend to be a bit "saltier" in my opinion. Gives em a nice earthy flavor. Yeah I know I'm probably an alcoholic but I prefer people to call me "fun to party with" :thumbsup:
Isn't it funny when you're in college and you drink a lot people commend you for it but when you reach full on adulthood people look down on you for it?
I now have to drink alone in the dark after everyone is in bed!

Smoooooooth
I thought you wanted to know about Islay scotch?:scratchhe
Anyways, I might just do that. I'm not sure if it is any good anymore, because it been open for about a year. I received a bottle of Oban and Macallan's 18 year which I prefer much more and quit drinking the Lagavulin.
I like the Macallan really well too.
I wasn't saying I didn't know about it. I was saying any Islay is worth the price. I like them all.
If I have to go blended I'll take dimple pinch.
