Bailey's Irish Creme is like an alcoholic milkshake.

Car Bombs FTW!

Caol Ila

Are you speaking a different language?
Never even heard of that...


Favorite liquor is Port. Love a good Port Wine, but since that's mostly a dessert wine, Stoli Vodka, Bombay Sapphire Gin.

It's a Scotch whisky. Fantastical stuff.

It actually is a different language -- Gaelic for "Straight of Islay." The distillery is on the Scottish island called Islay, which is a region that makes a very distinct flavor of Scotch (very peaty compared to other regions).

Apparently it's one of the biggest ingredients in Johnnie Walker scotches (which are just blends of other scotches). That's funny, because I don't like Johnnie Walker scotches because I don't think blends are worth a ****.

Jager, Jack, and anything else you pretty much put in front of me

Not that I'm a big Scotch drinker, but I'd never even heard of it.
I love trying new things, though, so I'll look it up.

Johnnie Walker is a blend of other Scotches? Meaning a mix of other brands?

I've also funneled an entire bottle of mad dog 20/20.......THAT is something I don't recommend.

Jesus. Imagining this makes my soul ache. That stuff is so bad.

The only hard alcohol I can handle is whiskey (any brand, really). everything else makes me nauseous.

If you're going to do Macallan, you have to spring for the 25 year. It's much better.

It's a lesser known brand, but it's delicious.

Yes, that's absolutely correct. People think Johnnie Walker is top shelf Scotch, but any blend is by definition subpar. They blend in order to obtain a consistent flavor (i.e., single malts can change over the years, just like a wine from different vintages will change). But when you blend, you're necessarily obtaining a more generic flavor that is less distinct and less flavorful. I don't drink blends, unless I'm at a bar and am drinking solely to get drunk (in which case I'll add ice to my Scotch -- otherwise, you drink it neat or not at all).

I think that Scotch is one of those things that you really have to build a palette for, like good wine. It's easier to enjoy something like Walker Black when you first start drinking Scotch than it is to appreciate even something mid-range like Oban.

Right, but when you do, everything else tastes like water.

I don't drink, but I think Nyquil counts.

I'm not 21 yet, so I'm not hip to alcoholic beverages.

Jagermeister. I can shoot that stuff like crazy.

Jager bombs are also excellent. Last new years I had about a dozen of them and I couldn't figure out why I felt like running a marathon and going to sleep at the same time.

I also really like Grey Goose on the rocks with a twist of orange or grapefruit.

Red.

Mix the red and the green.

would have to disagree with all blends being subpar by definition. while that has traditionaly been the case with whisky like bells or grouse some of the modern blends are really top class and not necessarily worse than a single malt.
