The Dave has ruined my whiskey moments, for now anyway.

I'm doing the Atkins diet again now, and I was comfortable drinking whiskley because it's zero cabs (all spirits are 0 carbs actually). But then The Dave had to stick his (admittedly well informed) nose into my business to point out that, even though it's zero carbs, alcohol breaks down some blah-blah-enzyme-blah-blah such that the Atkins diet doesn't work.

Now I'm sober and TheDave is laughing at me.

The rat bastard

Sober in the name weight loss? Its not worth it, man!

Johnnie Walker Blue is orgasmic.

I usually drink Glenlivet 12 yr. Macallan 15 is solid and Balvenie is excellent but I rarely drink it. I need to pick up a bottle.

18 yr Dewars isn't bad either.

I enjoy my whiskey and scotch straight on the rocks.

So my question is, is it acceptable to drink brandy and cognac on the rocks, too? Or are you just ruining it by not slightly warming it with your palm in a proper snifter? I don't see why I can't enjoy them the same as I do whiskey, unless there's some sort of unwritten rule I should abide by.

$12-13 actually ... but don't let the price scare you off. And buy black label, not green.

So, I was at the liquor store the other day and up the shelf with some expensive scotch was a bottle of whiskey from Colorado. I was a bit tempted, but a 40 dollar price tag scared me off. Anyone have any reviews or knowledge of this stuff. Sorry, forgot the name.

loborugger · 11-11-2009, 05:33 PM

Just picked up a bottle of this on a lark tonight. Priced at 23 bucks, it didnt look to bad. Its very smooth, with a slight taste of vanilla. Not an instant favorite but quite good nonetheless.

Oh, I wasn't looking for a review or anything. It's just that you said you couldn't remember the name, and I'd seen that stuff before, so I posted the pic in case that was the one you were thinking of.

As for Irish Whiskey I cannot get enough Tullamore Dow. Personally I prefer this over your normal Jameson.

Typically I have been a huge bourbon fan. Maker's Mark and ice is one of my favorite drinks, although I am fond of knob creek as well. I have also found recently that I like, and am surprised, by the green label of Jack. Its much smoother than the normal Jack and therefore its easier to drink more quantity without mixing it in Coke. I don't like cola in any of my drinks as I don't much like sweet drinks.

If you like Jack (YUCK), you outha give Evan Williams a try (they still age their whiskey 7years, which Jack stopped doing when they changed their label from "7years old" to "old no7", most people didn't realize that even though that swill isn't aged as long anymore.)
