The Liquor thread
 

Just wanted to see what everyone's go-to liquors are here. Whisk(e)ys, scotch, rum, etc. One of the things on my future to-do list is to expand my liquor selection because having a choice is much better than being stuck with the same thing. Not that I can afford it right now anyway, but may as well plan ahead.

Just got a handle of Jack from a friend as a payment for helping him put in a CV axle and change brake pads, but I'm wanting to get some fifths to have for myself. I pretty much stick to whiskeys, seldom go into Scotch and Rum and absolutely never vodka, wine, or tequila (unless it's the margaritas I make). Though I haven't had any, I heard Gentleman Jack is great and pretty smooth, so that's high on the list, as well as a fifth of Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve. I most often mix with soda since nothing I've had before is particularly smooth, if it compliments a cigar it's a plus. I'd like to one day get the appropriate mixers/ingredients to make old-fashions and mint julips, because they are awesome.


So what do you guys drank? No beer discussion allowed.

Nice thread now go clear your inbox ;)

I'm a beer guy 99.9% of the time. The rest of the time it is whatever is in the mixed drink my girlfriend makes which is usually some type of rum.

I mostly drink beer these days but since that's out I'd have to go with whiskey. I like Jack and Crown myself. I used to drink gin but I haven't had any in quite a while.

Crown FTW!

Patron or go home, everything else is a latative! I may have to go over to the freezer and check on my little buddy.....I mean bottle.

I'd fight the devil himself on Patron

Tequila? You gentlemen upset me.

Or there is everclear in case you are in the mood to drink something that tastes like gasoline.

im a beer guy but if i would have to drink liquor it would have to be blue label johnnie walker :)

Water, or iced tea, and the Redbull. o wait... Pee said liquors... none. lol.

Pee is drunk. haha.

Crown and coke. Also captain and root beer is pretty smooth. But mostly a beer guy with my coors light.

+1 on the Coor's Light for the beer!

Negative.

I've tried Crown and it's alright, but it just seems like one of those "I drink this to look sophisticated" liquors. Plus it's..well, Canadian.

my buddy has turned me into a scotch snob

And now that we've strayed into the topic of beers :D (brewed right here in Florida)

Jager.


I used to love Patron but I drank an entire bottle of Silver, plus half a bottle of the gold shit in about 2.5 hours. Plus alot of beer. Puked everywhere, almost died. Can't even smell Patron anymore without feeling sick.

Only good tequila is 100% agave and clear. Patron is good but waaaay overpriced imo. Beer is my more or less go to with michelob golden light (midwest thing). If its a hard night its Jim Beam-Coke (I expect a few WTFs on that one).

There is a hometown brewery here that i drink every once and a while called Fitger's. Leinenkugel's is another good beer out of wisconsin (only good thing).

For those nights i need a quick catch up after work before we go out i take Rumplemintz shots... yea i expect shit for that too...

Vodka=insta-puke thanks to my first 3 years of college

Man, I'm with you on that one. I believe that shit is a by-product of the manufacture of jet fuel, the only other thing that even comes close to being that bad is Pepe Lopez.

Steeda, you can't mix anything with tequila but more tequila. I know a lot of people that have been sick from tequila and say that they will never drink it again. The smell of equal parts punk and tequila is something that stays with you all your life. I feel the same about brown liquors, Jack Black and beefstew is still burned into my brain fom 35 yrs. ago.

If I have to I like patrone but I'm a beer guy. Landshark FTW!

Isn't it funny how one bad night can ruin your entire outlook on a certain alcohol. I will never touch vodka again because of a night very similar to yours.

The last time (many years ago) that I got Everclear with some friends we had more fun lighting it on fire than drinking it. :D

crown, jack, makers mark all good choices. Sometimes some jim or johnny. I used to love rum..say captain, sailor jerry's (probably fav rum so far) or kings bay(dirt cheap!) but I far prefer a nice whiskey coke. Not much for drinking it straight up yet, but a strong drink sign me up.

I also drink lots of beer, when I go buy it I try to get myself to buy 6 packs of things I have never had to expand my horizons.

Don't really touch vodka unless I am sippin on my gf's drink, it tastes fine just fruity and surgary as hell usually.
Tequila...don julio shots or mix it in some margaritas.
Gin...if its just one of those nights that I am feeling adventurous with my alcohol, some gin and cranberry juice, sometimes a little bit of squirt mixed in makes a tasty drink.

as for the everclear comments...got too drunk once off it, puked...have since only used it to clean shit with, it is definitely jet fuel!

Never tried ever clear, my favorite moment with it though was watching a girl polish a bottle off (approx. 2-2.5 shots worth) tossing the bottle on the table and blowing on the guy next to her that she had a $20 bet with she couldnt do it, he proceeded to run to the bathroom and throw up.

lol funny you should say that, out of pure drunkeness and curiosity we poured a bottle of everclear inna lil racing go cart one night... and it ran... and ran WELL Just imagine what that shit does to your insides!

Imma have to say.... FUCKIN YUCK!!! If i had to drink makers mark, i'd just soon not even drink... As for rum, HANDS DOWN... Sailor Jerry's!!! If you ain't tried it, you MUST! Good 80 proof spiced rum. Plus... its gotta sailor on the label! GO NAVY! LOL *shameless plug* sorry hehe

That is brewed in PA, well, it originally started its life there. I drank it all the time when I lived in Delaware.


I drink Blue Moon and other blonde Hefewiezens. I also got a taste for Sierra-Nevada during the family bbq meets. Not real big on the micro brew ales. Guiness for the nights I skipped a meal and want to feel full but not raging drunk.

Liquor is more of an infrequent drink for me but I go with redbull vodkas and Patron silver shots.

I forgot all about sailor jerry's for a minute. I love that stuff, not as heavily spiced as captain morgan, more alcohol/volume and ultimately awesome tasting!

another random drink to try is a corona limona. Drink the neck of a corona beer, pour in Bacardi limona back to where the neck was, gently tip upside down to mix, and drink. Adds a fruity/citrus taste to the beer like lime does but obviously lemon flavored. Gets you drunk 2x as fast.

You sir are correct. However, They do have a Brewery in Tampa Fl now too :D

Now what should I drink tonight? It's finally Friday woohoo.
