WHISKY!!!

I drank J.D for 3 decades - spent....well, I should have a house right now - lol -  
landed in detox - AA meetings now - sober two years - healthy and clear thinking again -
but ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh those photos get me salavating !
I hope, in a few years, to return back, moderately, if possible, to having J.D - any whiskey !
feel emasculated - not having a couple shots a day -

There was some talk about beers, and you know I love good beer...

But I really had to check is there _any_ people who love the holy water, Whisky.

And I found just this one thread where the last post is laid about seven years ago. Whaaaaat???

I will keep this thread up from this moment by myself, even if anyone comes to support me.

Ok- let´s start. I adore scottish single malt whisky. I never touch bourbon or blended whisky.

In honour of that I poured to my glass 12 yrs Caol Ila to keep myself in mood.

Anyone join me now?

I haven't bought a good single malt in a long time. I have my birthday coming up soon though...

Then I suggest you for the sake of your birthday to buy a nice bottle of fe. Lagavulin. Maybe?

I'll drink for your bd and for your good health!

Not much on hard liquor anymore. I’m more of a beer drinker now. If I do drink bourbon I go with Evan Williams single barrel.

Whiskey man, don’t you play that hand too long !

I currently have a bottle of Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire whiskey and picked up a bottle of Fireball (I LOVE that stuff) earlier today.

Never been much of a drinker. A glass of wine on Christmas eve and a cold Mexican beer while watching football (soccer) matches in summer, and that's pretty much it.

I love my beer but I had my fill of whisky in college.  My favorite drink when going out with friends was a whisky sour and inevitably I ended up getting sick.  I then switched to rum and had the same result.  I eventually learned that for whatever reason me and dark hard liquor do not get along.  Now that I know my tolerance level I can drink gin or vodka with no problem but give me anything with a dark liquor in it and I'll be sick as a dog in the morning - if not before then!

Nah, you guys enjoy your hard liquor banter; I cannot partake.  Besides for what people spend on those extravagant scotches I can buy a HELLUVA lot of good, high quality beers.  For example, yesterday I made a run across the MO River to my favorite beer store and dropped almost $350 on a TON of HIGH END beer; that much money would be, what, one bottle of fancy Scotch?  Pass.

Since my surgery for cancer, I cannot drink alcohol. I do not have an esophagus anymore so what I drink does not absorb in the stomach any longer. My only attempt after the surgery to drink - I had like three sips of a sam adams when my wife and I went out to dinner and was spinning

Yeah I agree Toho, I’ll save my money for more beer. I don’t really drink high end beer though unless you consider Michelob Ultra high end. Lol!

I can accept this explanation.

Just because I love high quality beers.

My whisky drinking isn´t drinking whisky. When I enjoy whisky, I only drink one glass of this divine nectar at a time. There is no sense drinking one bottle of great (and expensive) whisky in one sit. It is just wasting the flavor.

I would like to ask what HQ beers you drink, but not in this thread. This is WHISKY-thread.

Check out the beer thread in the Unsound Mind forum.

I surprised myself with 12yrs Bunnahabhain.

I've been working a little too much lately and having now 6 days vacation I wanted to have something really smooth.

Highly recommended!
