    Clan Macgregor-a Pretty Good Scotch ?

    This Scotch Whisky is a cheaper kind of blended scotch and its kind of on the thin side as well, but the taste is citrus and peppery- and also rather smooth on the palate when it finishes. A lot of people like this scotch and I used to drink it in my younger days quite a bit as well. Its has a...

    Best Beer With Calamari?

    I would watch overpowering the fish with the beer to much and pair it with a tropical island type of lighter beer at that-like say I would go with maybe a corona light beer with a slice of lime in it, because this would really give your meal a overall island kind of feel and look about it as...

    Lооking Fоr Swееt Сigаrs.

    I smoked a few of the Black & Mild Cigars(middleton cherry) back in the day-and they make a cherry cigar with pipe tobacco in it for pretty cheap. You can just light these up for a great smell and never really smoke them and they smell great- you can usually find these pretty easy in stores though.

    The Kentucky Bourbon Cocktail Book

    I think its nice to go grab a cool book of bourbon-cocktails off the shelf with some great design and artwork-and these books give you a sense of place as well. Some of us grew up back in the day when we bought physical books-so if you like the looks of this cocktail book,you should buy it for a...

    What Do You Think Of Cutty Sark ?

    I think Cutty Sark is a pretty good blended Scotch Whisky for the money and I have had it a few times. The nose is cut herbs,and floral-while the palate has a honey crisp apples taste to it. I like this on the rocks and find it a good budget Whisky overall-what do you think of this Scotch,if you...

    Shot Glasses

    I have a few shot glasses that come with the whiskey sets at Christmas sometimes-but I really would not call it a collection though. I think some of these collections could be worth some money all together if you collect-or there could be very rare ones that you could collect and then sell for...

    Whiskey Flask

    These flasks come with many designs today-and you can get anything printed on them these days-so you might look very hip at a college football game when you pull it out of your pocket or when you are on a hike with yur friends as well! I could see that you might even want to start collecting...

    Brewery Tours

    Yes, those are some good questions to ask,but I think I would be more interested in the tasting or samples of the beer and forget about all the important questions indeed, to ask the beer tour-guide. Also I would ask them if they had some good discounts on cases of beer-but really you should try...

    What You Sipping

    That looks like some great tasting scotch whisky you are drinking-but that brand(glendronach)is not one I am familiar with,though it looks like a single malt-and I like your tulip shaped glass to really get the nose of the whisky as well as you drink it. I am not drinking anything right now but...

    Greetings From The Bourbon State!

    I was wondering if you ever had some of the Four Roses brand of bourbon-and they have won lots of awards for having some of the best bourbons in the world. They have a mission-style architecture for a distillery-which is nice as well,but what do you think of their bourbon if you ever had some?

    Favorite Canadian Beer ?

    I was wondering what your favorite Canadian beer was-and it seems like back in the 80s people drank a lot of Moosehead brand beer as well. I drank some Moosehead back then-and found it to be a pretty tasty beer-also though I remember a beer called Labatt Blue which I have had-and Molson Golden...

    Mexican Beers?

    A beer that you see in the stores alot around here is Tecate-and I enjoyed this beer quite a bit in the past-but its smoother than a lot of the other mexican beers. This beer taste even better with lime-and if you drink it on a beach as well on a hot sunny day-and it has a lot of character.

    Which Beer Do You Prefer - Ale Or Lager?

    I would say if you put either down in front of me,I would drink up-and both are very good choices for types of beer. I find a lot of the pale ales go with food pretty good,and a good example is of course Sierra Nevada Pale Ale- there are a lot of other ones as well. I use to like Killian's Irish...

    What Makes You Come Back Here, The Site Or The Word Whisky ?

    I think this site is very informative and you can find some good ideas on what to buy or not to buy-when you go to the spirits store. Its funny-when I was a kid you would watch the western movies -and the cowboys always drank beer and whisky in a saloon-but they say the whisky and beer back in...

    Favorite Caribbean Beer ?

    What is your favorite Caribbean brew- and I have had a few of these island beers-the ones I have tasted-are Red Stripe,and Presidente. Another good island beer is Piton, a beer made in St.Lucia and named after a mountain there, and was rated the best Caribbean Beer. This beer(Piton)is a lager...

    The Bourbon Trail

    It seems like bourbon is to Kentucky like wine is to California-and there is something in the water I think that makes it iron -free and calcium rich, which is great for making bourbon. It seems like a lot of fun though -sitting around and drinking mint juleps and lots of other things to see as...

    Why Dоеs Sсоtсh Gеt Bеttеr With Аgе, Аnd Is Thеrе А Pоint Оf Diminishing Rеturn?

    Yes you can lose the taste of the grain after awhile when they are distilled-and in the case of Scotch the grain being barley. This process(to much wood aging)does kind of ruin the root of the Whiskey like the peat and grain taste-so a lot of people just do not want to taste to much wood. I...

    Kentucky's Best Distilleries

    I would like to check out the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceville,Kentucky and it was built in 1910. This place has some wonderful Spanish Mission-style architecture and is on the Nationl Register of Historic Places. I think they just brought back their Bourbon to the states though and...

    Bourbon Same As Tennessee Whisky?

    They are basically the same but Tennessee Whiskey after distillation-must be filtered through sugar maple charcoal. This process kind of strips the Whiskey of its harsh flavorings and this really makes a smooth and more drinkable kind of Whiskey(remember the song by George Jones-and the lyrics...

    Whаt Is Thе Diffеrеnсе Bеtwееn Whiskеy Аnd Bоurbоn?

    I would say Bourbon has to be produced in America -also it has to be 51 % corn with rye,wheat,malted barley,or malted rye grain -filling out the rest. It(bourbon) has to be stored in charred-oak barrels as well -while whiskey barrels do not need to be oak-and not new or charred. The thing when I...
