What are your favorites or go to’s. Special occasion stuff. Bottle for a nice quiet evening. Bottle for a gathering or crowd.

Actually tried to search this, I think the search function isn’t working this evening.

What kind of whiskey do you like? Sour mash, Rye, Bourbon, Irish, Canadian, Scotch?

For casual drinking Jim Beam for me. On special occasion I like Crown Royal or Maker's Mark. Real high end stuff is wasted on me.

Swap the Jimmy for some Comfort and I agree with TrappingThomas

I'm a cheap drunk -- Black Velvet works for me -- It didn't for a long time back in college - I couldn't even bring myself to take a drink for several years after my jr high/high school escapades.

Buffalo Trace, Angels Envy or Elijah Craig are all very good. Makers 46 or Wild Turkey 101 if your after something with a little more bite to it. Evan Williams white label is a very good inexpensive bourbon

Very seldom have a drink anymore, special occasions ... whatever is being served. From my early years, if I recall correctly, after a few belts they all began to taste good and the women became more attractive.

15 year Glenfiddich is my favorite for a special occasion.

Evan Williams for all the other times.

I’m not much of a drinker. I do sometimes enjoy a touch. Rye, sour mash, Canadian, I’m not particular other than not peat heavy. Trying to broaden horizons with smooth in the forefront. Looks like several good suggestions so far.

Rarely partake anymore but when I do it is a Canadian Whiskey called Forty Creek. My all time favorite is one called Tangle Ridge but I can't find it any more. I prefer both over Crown.

For normal drinkin im fine with a mixer of BV/ coke or pepsi or whatevers there. I used to drink bourban but now i prefer the canadians, irish or some rye. If im enjoyin a sippin whiskey it could be Crown, but more likely Pendalton or Jamison. On the rocks, let the ice melt just a touch. If you can get your hands on some bootlegged Templeton Rye out of Iowa, youll appreciate it. Had a buddy show up to my place several years ago with a 750 of that in a capt morgan bottle and he and i and another buddy (no one is under 210 lbs with the biggest at 270) got pretty well done that night. Idk what the proof is on that stuff but it definitely seems more stout than the store bought stuff.

You should try some Forty Creek if you can get it. I like Pendleton and Crown but I think Forty Creek is a little smoother with a little more flavor

At all costs, avoid something called Fighting (the other name for rooster).
Some good old boys in Festus, Missouri brought us some of that crap when we stayed overnight in their armory.
It's a miracle that we got our convoy rolling the next morning.
