Favorite Bourbon and/or Scotch?

powered85

Curious what other on here enjoy for a good Bourbon or Scotch.

For Scotch these are some current favorites:
Glenfiddich Distillery Edition
Bowmore 18
Glenfarclas 17
Craigellachie 17

And Bourbon:
Blantons original
Four roses single barrel
Bulleit

Think I'll try Woodford Reserve double oaked next time I pick up a Bourbon.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Lagavulin
Benvoulin

Maybe I should be careful posting after a half bottle of wine (but it fit in my calories for the day).

Hudson baby bourbon

Love some scotch from the islay. Personally i am an oban or laphroig guy

I guess I prefer black douglas

But 99% of the time I mix it with coke so the scotch isn't so important.

I used to joke that I mixed 20+ year old scotch with fanta, it annoyed some scotch aficionados.

I'm not a scotch fan, but I love bourbon. I prefer Eagle Rare or Woodford Reserve. So smooth!

If you can find it, William Wolf small batch rye on the rocks.

I drink Maker's Mark Bourbon with Coke Life (green can sweetened with stevia)

I like maker's mark, and Jack Daniels but I usually settle for Jim Beam

I've just found a new affinity for bourbon (and Coke Zero). Never been much of a Scotch girl.

I usually just drink Jim Beam, so will look at the responses for some good bourbons...though I'd hate to 'ruin them' with my Coke Zero.

Ah, it depends what you are drinking for! A wonderful aperitif is Glenkinchie, 10 miles down the road from me. Or after dinner or by the fire, Lagavulin or Old Pultney from the very north of Scotland. BUT!!!! dare I say that Bushmills from Ireland is wonderful too. Whisky is simply braw. And if you put coke in it, you should be shot

twice, just to be sure!

I like honey bourbon with lemonade.... Yum

Wow lots of Bourbon fans on here! Tried woodford reserve double oaked last night. Definitely a great Bourbon!

Have to say I prefer Scotch over Bourbon but not by a long shot. Both neat. If higher than 45% occasionally add a few drops of water to dial it down a bit.

Oban

For single malts

I still like scotch on the rocks. Big ice cubes if possible. I've tried with just water but don't like it as much.
Rye needs some kind of coke. Coke Zero these days.

Hands down Johnnie Walker Blue Label

I'm starting to think my favorite is the bourbon in my glass at the time

Good taste, same here. Or a nice glass of Talisker. Can't afford Lagavulin at the moment sadly and my bottle of Laphroaig quarter cask is down to the last couple of glasses

Bourbon - Bulleit, Basil-Hayden and Maker's Mark - Depends on my budget for the week, LOL. I can't really quit get over the peatiness of a good scotch. Brings back bad memories of getting knocked to the ground and eating dirt in gradeschool.

I love whiskey. For cocktails I either take Maker's Mark bourbon or Old Overholt rye. On the rocks, I like single malts like Glenfiddich or the Japanese Yoichi.

A friend who is a taster brought me a bottle of Charbay R5 Hop Flavored Whiskey, Lot 3. New favorite.

Laphroaig QC is nice as well. Have to say of all the peated ones my favorites are Talisker 18 and Bowmore 15 and 18.

I currently have Woodford Reserve double oaked open and this is a great Bourbon. Certainly holds its own against some of my favourite Scotches.

Scotch single malts: Balvenie Doublewood 12 years old and Royal Lochnagar Selected Reserve

I've yet to try the Doublewood 12 but I've had their 12yr first fill and it's fantastic. Will have to try this sometime.

Woodfords reserve not a fan of the double oak, bulliet, angels envy, basil hayden and whistling pig. Plus a good cigar! Not a fan of scotch.
