The Blue Board

Only bourbon and scotch for me.

Finlaggan single malt (islay) from trader joes for $17/bottle is all you need to know.

I only drink single malt. I like things strong. Like Guinness , triple espressos, strong red wine, and single malt. Islay is the strongest single malt as far as I know.

I have been a Crown fan too for about 35 years. The black has a little more alcohol and has a richer body than regular Crown. I like it, but if you want to try something that's very, very good and a great value, try some (R&R) Rich and Rare Reserve for around $18-20 for 1.75 ltr. It is the best 3-4 year old Canadian whiskey that I have ever tasted. I worked for the local liquor distributor for 22 years, and sold Seagram's products for 15 of those so I have tasted almost every Canadian blend out there. I have switched about 5-6 of my tailgating friends over to it in the last year, and their opinion is the same.I don't know if it is available nationwide, but they rolled it out in South Carolina about 18 months ago because we have an extremely high canadian consumption rate here.One of the larger chain stores, Total Wine and More, has refused to carry it because they know that it will cannibalize their Crown sales. That's a strong enough testament for me.

Canadian Club Reserve

Those aren't too expensive. Between 30-50 bucks.

Not with Charter, it has a good bourbon taste that doesn't lite your ass up, I believe that's your main difference in Bourbon and Whiskey, gotta have that smokey taste

Has anyone had any of the Pappy Van Winkle? I am just trying to find some of the 10 year. The 23 year I have heard is almost impossible to find.

This is the good chit. Bourbons drinkers its a must try. But the bottle is empty.

I haven't even found a place that carries it where I live.

We had a bourbon thread on here before that went for a while IIRC.

Buy it. Send it to me. I owe you forever.
