Thread: Your favorite brand of or Aging your own wiskey

Bruichladdich Waves is my favourite. A nice lightly peated whisky with a madeira finish.

I had a similar incident involving Black Velvet and Doritos.

Ah, I love whiskeys...bourbon, scotch, all of them!

For scotch, Glenlivet and Balvenie when I'm feeling rich, and Cutty Sark on all those other days.

For bourbon, I've rarely met one I didn't like, though I have really gotten into Maker's Mark lately.

For whiskey, I'm a fan of Crown Royal, though I tend to find myself buying scotch and bourbon more often than whiskey.

Canadian Club and Jamesons..... a decent shine is good to.. so hard to find right now.

I'm just getting into whiskey and scotch now, and I'm trying everything I can. Jack is alright, Maker's Mark is nice, a couple other single malts from Scotland I can't recall the name of have been real nice. My dad has rights to a barrel of Bruichladdich due to be bottled in 5 years or so, I forsee many razor meet ups at my place in the future Also my uncle is looking to make his own moonshine "Apple Pie" soon, something he learned from Popcorn supposedly.

Tullamore Dew is my standard, non-fancy go to Irish (and as I'm told, is what real Irish whiskey drinkers drink).

Canadian Club Cherry Cask is at the top of my list of semi-usuals.

Old Grand Dad, 100 proof, Bottled in Bond. It was one of only five whiskeys you could get with a Doctor's prescription during prohibition. It was the official "Medical Whiskey" of the U. S. Navy during WWII and the favorite of President Harry S. Truman. It is as good as Wild Turkey 101 and cheaper.

Need to make a correction. Old Grand Dad was not the Navy Medical Whiskey in WWII. Old Overholt Rye had that distinction. There were five distilleries authorized to make whiskey during prohibition. Early Times, Old Grand Dad and Old Overholt. Does anyone know what the other two brands were.

P.S. Old Overholt was susposed to be the drink of choice of Doc Holiday.
