redbarron77 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Green Spot for Irish Whiskey! Crown isn't bad, I like Crown Black, has a nice smokey flavor. Macallan for Scotch.... Blanton's for Bourbon, awesomely smooth. Anything in a Mason jar at my house if you like homemade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Crown Royal isn't even on comparison lists of best Canadian whiskey. Top of the list is Glen Breton Rare 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky for $85 rated 95/100. Highest "best buy" is Royal Canadian Small Batch Canadian Whisky for $19.99 rated 93/100. I'd like to try this one. My Dad always bought Canadian Mist and Canadian Club. And I agree.Close to the same as Black Velvet Reserve but two bucks cheaper.(Except that the pint is in a stupid plastic bottle.) More interesting, I tried a Tequila that a friend picked up in duty free in Mexico City. 200 pesos.Really nice and smooth. I think it was an older Cuestion Tequila.edit: Heard it was Esperanto tequila. I was wrong.http://sr3.wine-searcher.net/images/labels/75/88/10337588t.jpg Edited August 10, 2014 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Crown royal is terrible whiskey... Not even drinkable. Crown maple is the worst especially. Puke.Plus, if you drink too much crown, you end up kissing a fish.. And I don't mean a trashy dirty pill head.

speedytriple Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah we seem to have beer snobs and whiskey snobs around here lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) I think Crown is a good "drinkable" whiskey. Now mixing whiskey and sipping whiskeys are a different story. Edited August 10, 2014 by 2talltim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Snobs, nah, my favorite whiskey is Rebel Yell. Yip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Crown isn't bad, I use it to make Canadian love (crown and Canada dry). For irish I go with red breast single pot 18 yr ($98). For bourbon it's eagle rare or Woodford reserve. Scotch I like glenmorhange 15 yr or higher. But I'll drink whatever you're buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarron77 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Tito's is an awesome sipping Vodka! We have this store called Spec's, and it is the best liquor store I have ever been in. http://www.specsonline.com/cgi-bin/showpage?pageid=main Awesome liquor selection, outstanding beer selection, and the wines are phenomenal. They even have a damn good Humidor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I prefer Tito's over Grey Goose, and it's distilled in Texas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Have not tried tito's yet. We usually buy kettel one if we get vodka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Crown is ok. A little sweet for my taste. In order for my bourbon taste Blantons (on special occasions)Makers Mark (just lowered the price equal to the below for 750ml) Bulliet Rye Since switching from beer to bourbon, I have maintianed a 20lb weight lose for about 2 years. Yes, I may have a small glass almost everynight, and maybe more. But bourbon on the rocks is my drink of choice anymore, and my liver enzymes are just fine Edited August 12, 2014 by Ron505 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aforrest4 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I like Crown Royal. But prefer Scotch. Nothing too special. just a simple Macallan 12 yr is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Crown is way overrated... Maker's Mark is much better. Titto's is a cheap vodka that's good in mixed drinks. Kettel one is an excellent sipper and preferred in my house. OYO is even better for an occasional and unusual sipper. Lagavulin 16... aye laddy, that's gooder than sex. Foo foo flavored liquor's are great for frat parties and raves. Yes, I'm a liquor snob. Yes, these are only my opinions. And yes, a good shine beats all comers at a party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
