    Intro To Whiskey

    You could try the cheaper,but still very good whiskeys like Jameson and Bushmills(both are irish whiskeys)-and they say Jameson is usually the first Irish Whiskey that they try and is mildly sweet and has some floral smells as well. Bushmills taste of grain and honey and is a bit smoother than...

    Jim, Johnny, Or Jack?

    I think I would have to go with Jack Daniels on the rocks as far as my favorite ,and I remember visiting the Distillery in Lynchburg TN as a kid back in the 70's and they gave me a Jack Daniels change purse and shot glass I think -when I went there. I also remember the smells of the place a lot...

    Best Bourbon Cocktail?

    I just drink bourbon on the rocks usually-but I need to try a Mint Julep because this sounds quite interesting. This drink is made by adding a teaspoon of powdered sugar and 4 mint leaves with 2 teaspoons of water (muddle these together)- then add cracked ice with 2 ounces of bourbon. This is...

    Holiday Weekend

    Most holiday weekends I end up drinking wine,because it goes with the food for the most part,but I drink some Irish or Scotch Whiskey sometimes-and even mix some lime juice in the Whiskey as well and have it on the rocks. I would go with some good cheap Scotch Whisky like Clan Macgregor for a...

    Do You Have A Favorite Whiskey Drink?

    I usually just like my Whiskey on the rocks but something I would want to try is Scotch & Lime and i think the lime juice cuts the barley sweet flavor of the Scotch,without washing the smokiness out of the Whiskey. I think Papa Hemingway drank a lot of these because he spent a lot of time in...

    Ever Thought About Brewing Your Own Beer?

    Its interesting because Jimmy Carter was involved and created an exemption(1978) from taxation of beer and then you and your family could then make beer in the comfort of your own home and this was after 50 years of laws, leftover from prohibition. This legalization though started people towards...

Some of these brands include Magnum,Hurricane,Schlitz Bull,Steel Reserve,King Cobra,Old English 800,Colt 45,and my favorite Mickeys- a Irish Brand.

    Where Do You Rank Jim Beam?

    I am not sure I have ever had Jim Beam-but the one you see pictured(Jim Beam White Label in your post) is the cheapest one they make I think-but also they make one called Devil's Cut-but I would try the Jim Beam Black Label because it runs like 20 dollars maybe and its cheaper than the Devil's...

    When Did You Have Your First Whisky Drink?

    I am not sure how old I was but probably 16 or so-and my grandma kept it under the kitchen sink or it was down in the basement sometimes as well-and this was a older type of house. The brand was always Canadian Club or Canadian Mist Whisky-which were both pretty good but I always mixed it with...

    Whiсh Bоurbоn Mаkеs Thе Bеst Оld Fаshiоnеd?

    They say that the Four Roses small batch Whiskey is pretty good but I have never tried this one-but it does sound good. This Whiskey has a taste of Caramel,butterscotch with some spice and redberries as well. You should buy a decent brand of Whiskey-but it does not have to be the best brand by...

    Any Whisky Regardless Of Expense

    I would pick a Irish Whiskey,but not a expensive one because I might get to used to it and then it would be hard to keep enjoying it so I would go with a nice cheap -tasty one like Tullamore Dew. I would drink it from a tulip shaped glass as well-and enjoy the sweet citrus smell. This Irish...

    What Type Of Glass?

    I usually drink my whiskey from a Lowball glass as well,but I am looking to go to more of a Tulip-shaped glass and they have a slightly bulbous base and are tapering in at the top. The reason for this kind of glass is to concentrate the aroma of the whiskey at your nose and this really enhances...

    Bourbon

    I think bourbon is aged in new white oak charred-barrels and is 51 percent corn-and also it has to be made in the US. Whiskey is usually stored in used barrels and sometimes they even transfer the whiskey into finishing barrels as well for some extra quality and taste to the product.

    Darker Vs Lighter?

    They say that today's whiskeys have more sophistication about them than yesterday's -so it has more flavor. I think the barley-based whiskys(scotch)(aged in used barrels) are lighter than those that tend to be very corn-heavy which are bourbons. The dark colours of the whiskey comes from the...

    Best Beer Ad Ever!

    I was looking at the Corona beer ads on youtube and remember most of them-and a lot of them are ok-like the beer can rolling around on the pavement and different people picking it up with a raggae artist singing a song-then the can exploding. I really like the simplicity of the one below though...

    Whаt Is Thе Bеst Wаy Tо Drink Jim Bеаm Whitе Bоurbоn?

    I think the price makes it (jim beam white label)more enjoyable which is a great low price but I would just like my bourbon on the rocks. I just like the tasty flavor of bourbons with the toasty oak and vanilla types of flavors and also has a little spice taste as well. I like to put it over...

    Least Favorite Beer??

    (Hoegaarden beer- thats a funny name and I think bevis and butthead would get a kick out of that) I am not to big on Natural Light and also I am not that big of fan of light beers in general, because when I drink I would like to drink less amounts of beer as well-and drinking a better tasting...

    How Much Do You Usually Spend Buying Beer?

    I would say to look for a good deal on cases of beer(or bigger amounts)if you can buy ahead of time ,but I am not sure that this is the cheapest way to buy beer though-but if you can afford to,I think you could save money this way. I drink wine mostly these days but never bought beer ahead...

    Whisky Popularity

    You might want to check out the brand of Early Times Whiskey,and like Jack Daniels, its a Whiskey and not a Bourbon but its made in Kentucky and not Tennessee. Its not a bad Whiskey and its in the same class they say as Jim Beam and Evan Williams-and all these brands are popular at a very good...

    Jack Daniels; The Most Representative Bourbon?

    I think a good Bourbon at any price is Evan Williams and they say its one of the best selling brands worldwide and I think its right behind Jim Beam as well. The black label variety that Evan Williams sells is known as "something that is cheap and dosen't taste half bad" and I have had it many...
