Whiskey Drinkers

TheGreatOne · 01-14-2014, 11:22 AM

I was a real Jack Daniels and Johnnie Walker kinda guy, apparently I was informed years ago by a girl that the Johnnie Red I was drinking was swill and she got me to try Glenfiddich.

Haven't looked back since in terms of an everyday scotch. Johnnie Black also and Blue when I feel like a Boss.

I am mostly a beer drinker (and homebrewer), but when I am drinking liquor its usually either scotch or gin. I like Glenlivet and Macallan a lot, and am always trying to find new brands to try. When it comes to gin, I like Tanqueray, but Hendricks is my preferred brand.

I've not tried it yet, but some of you may be interested in this story from a Cleveland TV Station:

1835 here. For those of you that don't have a Spec's near by, you're missing out!

Either way...cheers!!!

First and foremost I go with gin. But when I am in a whiskey mood, it is Irish (Connemara, Red Breast cask strength) or a single malt scotch such as Caol 'Ila or Bowmore.

Am I the only one with a drink in hand?

Always gotta have a cigar in hand. I make sure to never let my humi run out. My goal is when I finally buy my house I will turn one closet into a walk-in humidor.... ahh...

I can see it now...

When that happens you most definitely have to post pics. So what's your cigar of flavor? I'm usually an ACID guy. C-notes are the sh!t when you don't don't have time for a full cigar.

Oh god... too many to list...

My all time favorite cigar:

Padron Family Reserve No. 85

My goto cigars are:

Romeo Y Juilieta 1875
La Gloria Serie R
Oliva Serie V

I could spend the rest of the day naming all the different cigars I love, hate, or have mixed feelings about. I smoke rare, I smoke cheap. I have fallen in love with a $10.00 cigar just as much as a $40.00 cigar.

also: You always have time for a full cigar, you just might not have the time for whatever the cigar pulls you away from.

EDIT:
Just for fun I thought I would show my favorite cigar cutter & my best fake: My Lamborghini Cigar Cutter w/ a 35th anniversary Cohiba Cuban Cigar w/ Barber Poll Wrapper. Now... they never did the barber poll till the 40th anniversary... didnt realize this till I was home... I felt too stupid to take it back and fight for my money so I kept it as a reminder to inspect my Cuban purchases closer...

I like to have a variety of Scotch on hand some peaty some not.

If I can only have one in the cupboard it would be the 18year old Highland Park.

Single Malt Scotch is DEFINITELY my drink of choice! My go to is Glenlivet 12yo. However, The Balvenie 1991 Portwood has been my all time favourite! Personally I'm not a fan of peated scotches; instead give me a Port or Sherry oak barrel matured one any day!
