Glenmorangie 12 or 18 yr old is truly the nectar of god.

I wonder who Dark Eyes was. His is my favorite cheap vodka.

No Jameson fans on here, eh?

I had a glass of it ("only" $40 for a shot) to celebrate (rue?) my return to Los Angeles.

I was drinking the shot while viewing the Los Angeles skyline from the rotating restaurant atop the Buenaventure Hotel.

It was very smooth and tasted good.

If you like something a bit better than Black Label, I would suggest looking out for a bottle of Green Label. A very good blended scotch at about half the price.

Jameson is a great whiskey. You can often get great deals on it in the grocery or drug stores. Pretty much every bar carries it, so its always there when you want it.

On a few occasions I have used it as a chaser when I'm sipping a particular strong scotch such as Laphroig or Lagavulin.

I like Jameson. Even have a bottle on the bar as we speak. But I’m more partial to the Tullamore Dew bottle sitting next to it.

For Rum, I'm partial to "Black Seal" ... Whisk(e)y ... Pinch, Glenfiddich, Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Jameson's ... It's not all good, but a lot of it is.

If you can find it the Appleton 12 Year is very, very good.

Quite reasonably priced, too.

Usually on the rocks; sometimes neat. A high quality bourbon should never be sullied by a mixer, IMO. Then there's local rotgut that's undrinkable unless it's cut with a liberal amount of cola or whiskey sour mix. LOL

Mine was #795200. And that was one helluva nice barrel certificate they sent, too, right down to the wax seal.
