Why do Americans love whiskey so much? Is it like $7.50 for a handle of the stuff?

haven't had whiskey since I was 19, where I literally crawled from my desk to my bed, proceeded to vomit out my dinner and was too poor to eat for another 24 hours, enduring the most severe hangover and DTs ever.

That Teacher's was pretty good though

Yeah, whiskey can be pretty cheap and doesn't taste like poo poo without mixing like every other cheap liquor. Also, you suck at drinking.

I was hyped up to try that stuff since I like regular grouse so much and it was just really underwhelming, not as close to an actual islay malt as I thought it would be

If you drink anything other than an Islay then you are a cretin.

Edit: Also If you drink it with a mixer you should probably be shot in the back of the head.

Seagrams 7 is American whiskey. It's also mostly "neutral grain spirits". Basically you like American whiskey, but only if it's watered down with vodka.

Just drink the most expensive one you have; you've already paid for it and you're never going to actually sell it, so you might as well live like a king for a few hours.

Trying to be hip about alcohol consumption is so corny. At least with illegal drugs there is a sizeable population of squares that are incapable of acquiring them.

My favorite scotch is Aberlour Abu'nadh. My favorite Islay scotch is Caol Ila, which I am currently out of. I also enjoy bourbon - recently we finished up the bulleit and I got some buffalo trace.

My best scotch is probably my bottle of lagavullin 16 or possibly my 1975 auchentoshen which was a gift - I think it's an 18 year old single cask single malt.

The best thing I ever tasted was The Bowmore Claret, which was a double-wood claret-cask finished scotch that has been impossible to find for at least ten or fifteen years now, my friend had a bottle and it was loving amazing.

My wife doesn't like scotch (which means it's all for me) but she likes irish whiskey and bourbon so we tend to go through those faster. For irish whisky, bushmills is vastly superior to jamesons. Vastly. Try the black bush, it's great and not too expensive.

Nobody should pay for blue label unless they have tried and decided that they hate all of the several hundred incredibly good single malts that can be had for less than half as much money. Blue label isn't actually bad, it's just a blend of other well-aged single malts with a lot of marketing behind it.
