I prefer good tequila.

I found it to be an acquired taste, and once acquired, it was tough to drink anything else.

I no longer drink and haven’t for 25 years....

I do miss it.

I am left with an occasional beer on my boat or a wine with dinner from time to time.

I’ve been thinking of buying a bottle of expensive brandy and keeping it hidden in my nightstand or in my gun locker. ;>)

Now that I have turned 60, I think I am supposed to hide a bottle of something to sip, from time to time.

*Excellent* scotch, you should enjoy it this Labor Day weekend. :-)

Wish that I could.

But I will be spending it at my other brother’s home who does not drink.

The only hard liquor I drink is Southern Comfort. And I'm not even really sure what it is, LOL!

Yes! If scotch whiskey had a sound, this would be it.

Here’s the TRUTH about how each Scotch distillery gets such a unique taste. Remember how each distillery takes its water from the nearest stream? They tell you that it’s the peat used in the process, but really...those streams are draining all the water from the fells and glenns...all full of sheep.

Yep, all that sheep wee-wee filters into the ground water...

It’s still the best stuff...loved it when I had the taste for it...

No thanks. When I was about 16, I drank half a bottle of Glenfiddich. Cured me for life.

Admitting a limit to the wallet, I have found over the past 35 years or so that you likely can’t go wrong with any single malt Scotch more than 15 years old...

I second your vote for The Glenlivet 15 year old. I like it better than the 16 year old Nadurra, or the 18 year old. I haven’t the heart to open my 21 year old Archive yet.
