“What’s you poison?” Outside of the movies, I’ve never actually heard this used. :^) However, my favorite would have to be Canadian Club.
A little history. I am a former Mormon (Ex-Mo or apostate for those in the know). I joined at 16, so that coupled with a mother who had a drinking problem, I was never very interested in alcohol. Flash forward many years. I left the church and it’s prohibitions and decided my mothers problems were not my problems. So after some experimenting, I decided that Canadian Club was my favorite. It is really smooth with a hint of sweetness that does not give me that reflux feeling some of the stronger whiskies do.
I still try other whisky brands to see if there might be something I like or that compares. My brother introduced me to Red Stag. While it is ok, it if more for sipping occasionally. I don’t care much for Crown Royal and I have tried many of their offerings like the regular, Black and Cask No.16. Still, none compare.
I'm a fan of regular Jack. If you get the chance, try Jack Daniel's Single Barrel
Have you tried Maker's Mark or Booker's? Technically they're both bourbons but they're really nice. I was introduced to Booker's many years ago. It's a beautifully crafted, single barrel bourbon that's unfiltered to it clouds up over ice. These two are a couple of my faves.
I must put in my props for Bulleit bourbon. Really fine whiskey.
I have tried JD Single Barrel (it was on sale for the price I usually pay for GJ). I have also tried Maker's Mark, Tangle Wood, Jameson and a couple single malt scotches. I will need to give Bulleit and Booker a go.
My boyfriend enjoys Old Crow. Saying "it's actually not that bad." Ugh.
