Since I'm loving the Jack Daniels so much, I had to try the other "Tennessee whiskey", George Dickels. This stuff is great!

So far, my favories, in order:

(1) Jack Daniels, Black Label (yes, old regular #7)
(2) Old Weller 107
(3) Jack Daniels Single Barrell.

I will also give high honors to JW Blank, Crown Royal.

Latest purchase:

Would you please post a pic of that same bottle tonight around midnight? Thanks.

This is a topic that has been at the center of discussion for years at every Scottish dinner that I have ever attended - I have sat in front of big open fires all over the highlands over the years bashing this one out.

There is no right or wrong - its your personal choice.

But if I was to only drink one whiskey for the rest of my life it would have to be Balvenie 12 year old Doublewood - it goes down the throat like the Devil in velvet trousers.

You cant go wrong with any of their products.

And on the subject of gin - there is only one option for me - being a colossal gin drinker - Hendricks Gin - made in Scotland - it is a cucumber based gin - serve it with Schweppes (the ONLY tonic that belongs anywhere near gin) with a slice of cucumber - not lemon.

Try it and get back to me - if you drink gin and have never drunk Hendricks then you are in for a treat.

If you have not already, try whiskey with ginger ale. Crown goes awesome with ginger ale.

Or with Cream Soda.

BTW
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage kicks butt.
Knob Creek, and Evan Williams Black label are good.

As for mixing with water, chill a glass squirt some good cold clean water in the glass, pour it out and add 2 fingers of your Favorite Whiskey. This is the proper way to mix it.

Excellent Idea! I've been just adding a few squirts of bottled water.

I've only had one tasting of the Evan Williams. But it was VERY good.

Last night at dinner had a Woodford Reserve and then some Knob Creek. I definitely preferred the Woodford, but both were good. Actually, I haven't yet had something 'bad'. But I'm not that fond of Wild Turkey since it tastes a bit like medicine to me.

I recently got some plain Ole JD and thought it tasted a little like Aqua Net Hairspray, same with Maker's Mark.
Been meaning to try some Woodford, and some Bookers.

You only interested in Bourbon? I actually like JD a lot. Love the sweetness.

Maybe that's it. Might have developed a taste for Bourbons.
Funny but at 45 years old I am now just starting to drink hard spirits. I mean I drank some such stuff in my late teens and 20's but they I always seemed to get into trouble (fights and such) with the hard stuff.
Give me a beer and I am happy. *Insert song "Tom T. Hall, I like Beer" here*
