Even with the most expensive brands I find when drinking Scotch in the USA, it tastes like something dirty socks have been washed in.
But when in the UK, it tastes great!
I even took wifey to the UK to show her my preference there.
I have no explanation.

Yikes. Blasphemer!
I can obsess about the size of a single ice chip that goes into the 'Vulin.

Bourbon was invented by a Baptist preacher, Elijah Craig.And that is still my favorite brand. In fact I'm picking up another bottle tomorrow.
I picked up my first bottle of Russell's Reserve (a Wild Turkey offering at 90 proof) a couple weeks ago. 4 fingers gone at this point, and I'm impressed. More spicy than other fine Bourbons. Not as 'woodsy' as Elijah Craig, but a pretty darned good sip. I also like their 101. That and Elijah at 94 proof are about as volatile as I want. Woodford Reserve, Elmer T. Lee, or Basil Hayden are my favorites for the smoother Bourbons.
When in a restaurant I'll usually pick Makers Mark because they don't carry the others. If they don't even carry that (out here in the boonies that's possible) I'll settle for Jack.

Yes, if you must drink blended Blue Label is the way to go. I much prefer the Speyside malts to the island malts (Islay Skye etc ) too peaty and harsh for my taste. If you have money to burn the Macallan is the way to go.

Olive juice..nice storyIt was a fairly unique pizza restaurant/bar with a good clientele. Virtually every kind of special liqueur and foreign beer available back then. All kinds of specialized drinks. I still have the menu. Sometimes I look at the prices of drinks back then and wonder, boy, have things changed.
I recall one Sunday I was tending bar, it was fairly slow with a couple tables filled; one by a family of 4-5. A couple came in and sat at the bar, ordering drinks. The woman couldn't decide what she wanted, ordered a special mixed drink or something, then griped about it not being to her liking. All she did was grouse about it.
The waitress came up and ordered a round for the family table. I set the glasses up and began making the drinks, some of them getting parasols and such for decorations. The woman sitting at the bar saw these and said "Now that's what I've been wanting. That's my kind of drink. What do you call that?"
I replied "A Kiddie Cocktail". They left rather quickly.
