As I stated earlier I am not a connoisseur of alcoholic beverages. In 1999 my family traveled to Ireland on business and I brought back to a friend of mine a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey. He told me it was "good liquor". I have no idea of the taste. He was and still is quite the "connoisseur".
Evan Williams is the best bang for the buck. Sadly when in the Philippines I can buy one take one at pure gold (costco type warehouse) for just over eleven dollars, much cheaper than I can buy four miles away at the Va. ABC store. Probably has something to do with taxes or lack of. Tanduay rum is the largest rum maker in the world and a bottle in the Philippines is about 80 pesos or $1.40. Rum and coke all night long for less than $2.00.

I never did develope a taste for scotch. Maybe as a kid I tried some, thinking butterscotch, and well, yuk!
Nothing worse than people giving you booze you don't like! A friend keeps bringing over different imported beers that I can't stand. Yet, he knows I drink ONLY Tuborg! Another gave me a Nice Bottle of Crown Royal, but wait, with MAPLE! Who in their right mind? And if you liked that kind of thing, hey add it to your drink at home!
Anyone on here ever drank Elijah Craig? I have seen good reviews of it. It is distilled by Heaven Hill, the same folks that produce Evan Williams.
