Whiskey Choices

Bulleit Rye is very good. Also Woodford Reserve if you're feeling fancy.

My normal is Jack Daniel's Black Label but on "Special" occasions I like Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. Both with ice and a splash of club soda.

Corona with lime and salt on a hot day.

Had a Boston Lager with lunch at the TGI Fridays near Broadway and Wall Street, in Manhattan, a few months ago and really liked it.

I'll second the Buffalo Trace. Also Woodford Reserve. or Basil Haydens.

If you want to try a really different whiskey, give Clyde Mays craft whiskey a try.

The other day I was looking at Ethanol on the Internet. Came up with one site saying the whiskey's requiring aging in barrels is running low in stock due to demand and insuffient stock in the aging process. There were indications that some would run out and/or become expensive.

At present some European Beers and Corona Light are my preferred choice. The mini breweries will also rate but many have too large a bottle size or high alcohol content.

During our years of full time RVing, we visited just about every museum we found, only a couple of beer breweries, and several wineries. In each of the wineries we visited, admission was free, and free samples were offered, and I bought a little wine at each one EXCEPT one in Sauk City, WI. That one had a $6 admission charge and I did sample some of their wine without finding anything that I would have carried home if it had been free. I'm sure they knew their wine was so bad visitors weren't likely to buy any, hence the admission charge.

Visited the Amana Village in Amana Iowa a few years back; Millstream Brewery there had some of the best beer I have ever had (Windmill wheat). There is a winery that had excellent wines; my favorite was their cranberry.

I used to prefer Crown Royal/7up when I was a whiskey drinker. When I went to work in Venezuela, they didn't have Crown or 7 up so I found a local substitute for 7 up that was similar but not the same and when I ordered whiskey and Chinotto(7up equivalent) I got the foulest tasting stuff ever. After 6 or more months of this, I met up with an expat from Oklahoma who explained to me that to get bourbon you had to ask for whiskey Americano otherwise you got Scotch whiskey. Well by that time, I had gotten used to the scotch and bourbon didn't really taste that well so I have been a scotch drinker ever since. Now it is a rare occasion for me to drink. I buy about a case of beer per year (Miller light or Coors or Corona-not too choosy other than NOT Budweiser) Any way my favorite Scotch is a single malt called Glenfiddich at least 12 years old. Glenlivet is also good single malt. J&B is a fair blended scotch but is kind of watered down tasting compared to a good single malt.

I'll second the Jameson's. Great on the rocks; very, very smooth.

That is the only way I drink whiskey-3 ice cubes. No water or soda. Used to drink jack and coke, but too much coke upsets my stomach.
