Leperflesh posted: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. Seriously though this is true. It's pretty good but definitely not $200 good.

Blanton's, Bulleit Rye, and Bulleit Bourbon in the cabinet. Want some other ryes, but the college town liquor stores here go quantity over quality.

But really, the best whiskeys are the ones that taste good, smooth enough to drink on its own, and cheap. Ever since I first bought it, Tullamore has been my go to for that.

co-op's 12 year old single malt much like tesco's finest it's another supermarket own brand that keeps annoying the whiskey industry by being nicer than the swish brands. Shame co-op's bank is sinking fast so get it while you still can.

One of my salesmen gave me a tasting of Casa Dragones yesterday, and it was nice. About as nice as tequilas that cost $200 less. They've managed to out-douche the lifestyle vodka labels, and that's an accomplishment.

Shame co-op's bank is sinking fast so get it while you still can. i love supermarkets doing "finest" spirits because they are generally surprisingly good. i got some marks and spencers sherry-aged rum that's surprisingly decent, and tesco were doing a thing a while back where they were blatantly selling bombay sapphire in a different bottle for far less. then they discontinued that brand so it was even cheaper!!

Buffalo Trace bourbon is a good one that hasn't been mentioned yet. It's got the perfect balance of great taste with a little bit of kick to it. I hate whiskeys that are too smooth, personally, like baby-tier Irish and Canadian whiskeys, and some of the "high end" bourbons fit that too. When it comes to scotch, I always just drink Glenlivet because that's what my grandfather drank and it reminds me of old times.

I was specifically thinking of NYC, which tends to burn through trends quicker. I recently moved to the Pacific NW and gin is my second favorite drink after bourbon. What are some good local gins around here? Dorothy Parker gin is a really nice native NYC gin to try. Less juniper than traditional, and more floral, but not in an annoying way.

It's the inevitable 'above it all' goon post. Guaranteed to show up in any thread where people have opinions about anything. Ransom is an awesome Oregonian barrel-aged gin. I like it 1:1 with grapefruit juice.
