Jameson is good, not too fond of Bushmills. The best Irish whiskey I think is Paddy's, when I can find it. Jack Daniels black label is my favorite bar drink, maybe once a year or two.
As for Scotch, I prefer redheads and single malts ;)
Glenlivet is good, but the best blended I ever tasted belonged to a friend in college - Johnny Walker but not a black or red label, it was the color of aged paper with black lettering...incredible stuff. Haven't seen any like it since.

Thank you ... wonderful montage.
I wish for those young Scotsmen, to age as gracefully as Sean Connery has. He’s like an venerable Islay malt.

I personally like Famous Grouse! Very smooth and reasonably priced. If price wasn’t an issue, I’d drink Johnny Blue all day long!

IIRC your Scotch needs *something* ... what was it? McClelland’s?

They didn’t play that last night but a good concert, all-in-all.
The Chicago Theatre is a GREAT place to see a concert. That and walking around downtown Chicago at midnight is really cool.

Have you tried Cuervo’s “Black Medallion”? I’m no fan of Tequila but this I can sip on in the cool of a summer’s evening.

The only way to drink good scotch is neat. You ain't kidding! Unless it's cask strength, and a drop or two of water unleashes the taste and vapors.
I offered my classless brother-in-law a dram of my 25 year old Lagavulin and the tosser prompty added some coca cola to it! The stuff is $275/bottle, and he's adding friggin' cola!
On another note, I've found it humorous while having breakfast in Scotland when, at some places, a bottle of rotgut Bell's is sitting alongside the porridge. Nothing like a quick lift of the constitution at 9am by having porridge and whisky!
You Islay whisky lovers owe it to yourself to make a journey to that lovely island. 8 distilleries, all of them right on the ocean. The most stunning is Caol Ila, which is situated on the sound between Islay and Jura, with a magnificent view of the Paps of Jura, 2500' mountains that rise right out of the ocean.

I love scotch, but I can’t really afford it.

I’m very lucky my favorite scotch is a cheap blend- Highland mist.

They get 9 AM whiskey without getting called alcohol abusers? Looks like I need to get on a plane.
