Title: Maker's Mark

I prefer Bourbon over Scotch and some Irish. Middleton and Tullamore being the exceptions. And the only Bourbons I like are Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve and Knob Creek.

I prefer Woodford Reserve to Maker's Mark.

I've become a fan of George DIckel whisky since visiiting the distillery in TN.

Irish Whiskey is generally my drink of choice.  I'm partial to Powers if I'm not looking to shell out too much money.  They sell Middleton a couple of blocks away, which I find extremely tempting though paying so much for a bottle of whiskey doesn't seem to be in the cards right now.  If I could, I'd never drink anything else (except a good dark beer).

I've tried a bunch of different kinds of Scotch, but haven't tasted one I'd want to drink on a regular basis.

Doesn't anybody drink to get fucked up? Or is everything about taste nowadays?

It starts out as taste, getting fucked up usually comes along about two hours in.

I prefer scotch over bourbon, but that's mostly because I got wasted on bourbon too much at school.

I had decided in my last year at university to start at the low end of the whiskey spectrum and to work my way up to the real treats. Well let's just say there's an ever-growing morass of low-end stuff. I never got past the $12-13 per bottle mark, although I was drinking hard for most of my senior year. So speaking as one of countless authorities on the low low end, shit bourbon is considerably more palatable than shit scotch.

Getting fucked up can be a happy by-product of enjoying however many drinks, but it's not the main goal. Most times when I drink, I wouldn't say I get fucked up. My regular drinks are beer or red wine (or both), so when I drink whisky/whiskey or tequila, it's usually just a glass/shot or two, just because I enjoy it. I'm also sort of a lightweight when it comes to spirits, at least compared to how much beer or wine I can handle. I can easily put back 20 beers without being drunk, but 3 or 4 decent glasses of Scotch and I'm sloppy.

Before you ridicule me, remember that I was raised by an owner of a liquor store.

American measurements are usually sold as

Half-gallons/Handles: 1,750ml
Liters: (straight forward)
Fifths (Fifth of a Gallon): 750ml
Pints: 375ml (and this doesn't actually equate with how much a pint is but I'm not sure this is how it's sold).

Going smaller than that, who knows?  Who buys less than 375ml at a time?

I'll still drink a pint of gin and walk into a show from time to time.  Pints are the perfect serving size for concert going.

Tequila is my personal savior.  Truly a creation of los dioses en el Cielo.

There's a lot of stuff I can't stand (all gin, most scotch, any flavored anything - especially vodka), but I can literally drink tequila from bottom of the barrel to top shelf and feel great all night and in the next morning as well.  I've never really understood it, especially when so many people hate the stuff.

Indian rum, eh? Is that Old Monk? I found most Indian booze to be dreadful, although I didn't mind a bit of Goan port.
As for tequila, I'm OK with it although I will almost never choose it on my own.
The worst possible thing to put in front of me is Southern Comfort. Hoo boy, did I ever have a terrible early drinking experience with that crap!

I don't want to sound like a douche or nothin but I'm kind of a sucker for Campari. It makes me feel like I live by the sea and I own a yacht. Not really a hard drinking drink though. For that my standard go to is probably JD. I'm just too perpetually broke to enjoy the finer things.

I'm telling you, the way to go is 40s, box wine, MD 20/20, and Five O' Clock vodka.
Title: Re: Maker's Mark
Post by: Doormouse on March 03, 2009, 12:26:59 PM
40s are ok depending on what it's a 40 of. I was really anti-40 for a while because of all the "Boomerang" and "Tornado" and other shitty raspberry-and-lime-flavored beers and whatnot that came in 40 form and were inevitably the only things left to drink at the end of a house party. Box wine I actually usually enjoy for the memories. Malt liquor is on my blacklist because hell I won't remember the night. Not the biggest fan of vodka either for pure taste reasons. Cheap bourbon is infinitely smoother than cheap vodka.
Title: Re: Maker's Mark
Post by: Drugmoth on March 03, 2009, 02:27:25 PM
I always enjoyed Milwaukees Best or Natural Ice for 40s.  Box wine is AWESOME.  Perma drunk for days if I have no tolerance.  MD is actually pretty fucking shitty, but sometimes you just gotta get drunk.  And bottom of the barrel vodka tastes like paint thinner.  I'm sure some of you remember the video I posted of me almost puking up Five O' Clock vodka.

People keep making comparisons, Jack Black, Ethan Suplee, now fucking John Belushi.....and I'm not super offended cuz they aren't hideous but I'm not happy about the comparisons either.  Eh.  The worst part is that I DON'T LOOK LIKE ANY OF THEM.  I would agree if I did but I don't.

I remember when I went to go see Life Aquatic and through out the whole move Bill Murrary drank Campari on ice, after the movie I went to the bar to have one and it was awful... until I requested a splash of orange juice in it.  It was very tasty then.  Which brings me to my point.  Tequila is good, but only with a splash of orange juice.
Title: Re: Maker's Mark

I guess Sasha hasn't seen this thread yet - she's the one who brought the tequila into class in the Wendy's cup. God, I loved that art class. We fucked around basically every day.

The guy who introduced me to whisky (Scotch, originally) took great offense to me liking to drink it neat, as opposed to on the rocks, which is how he drank it. He thought that somehow I was trying to one-up him as more of a manly man or something. I tried to explain that it was just a preference, and had nothing to do with penis size, to little avail.

So anyway, krsna, how does it feel to have a small penis?

If I'm drinking out of the bottle then it's fine as it is. Otherwise good scotch benefits from a splash of water, but maybe that's because I like to gulp it down.
