POLL: How do you take your Bourbon/Scotch?

[Mr. Bones]

Jus' became mildly intrigued by this, have not (yet) tried it, prob'ly hard to get, Stateside...

[HawkerXP]

I've seen it in China. One of the pilots had some as he was doing a "reverse sear" cause the new wife wanted a baby.
Bartender said it would help with that kind of thing.

[smokin fool]

Oh man, not even at gun point....I'll take the bullet first, several if necessary.

Depends on the quality or not of the whisky. Good whisky? Neat. Not so great? on the rocks, usually just a cube or two. Mixing? Blasphemy!

Blended scotch like Famous Grouse, on the rocks. Single malts neat but some require a drop or two of water. Bourbon is more variable. Colonel EH Taylor small batch ... neat. Knob Creek with two small cubes.

[jwreck26]

Rocks but the number of rocks varies with the quality of the scotch. 1 cube for Lagavulin. Full rocks glass for Dewars. Bourbon is neat but I very rarely drink bourbon and it has to be the right bourbon.

[HawkerXP]

I take it in a glass. Straight up. Then I take it outside and use it to clean oil stains from my driveway.

[Hi, my name is Joe]

Can I be an oil stain on your driveway?

I came across this from, 'Dailybeast. c o m' a Food/Restaurant/Spirits editor (where my avatar came from), rated the best bourbons on the market

Henry McKenna Single Malt 10yr aged, single barrel, made the list, I was lucky, got two bottles, around last X-mas, been sold out, for awhile. And still cannot get it, I'm on several waiting lists $29 per bottle.

Love scotch, single malts, very big distinction, in flavors, if from the peat bogs region, strong smokey flavor, requires more aging to mellow, vs scotch from the highlands of Scotland. That 15 yr old Glennfiddck, is wonderful! Johnny walker blue, go figure it's a blend, & very pricey

[pjlstrat]

Scotch neat with a small splash of water as others have said. I have never acquired a taste for bourbons...he says while ducking to avoid debris.

[Mr. Bones]

Cheers to ya, Brother <clink> from a Bourbon Guy...no debris, sez I

[Attjack]

Neat sometimes with a splash of water to open it up. Ice shuts down the flavor. I'll do it over ice if the whiskey is cheaper though. I also do good tequila over ice on hot days.

[smokin fool]

Tried to develop a taste for Scotch, can't do it.
Done a bit better with Bourbon, neat or rocks.

[jfmorris]

Ok, I just poured myself a finger of Elijah Craig, NEAT, in honor of this poll.

[Mr. Bones]

Other Brother!!!!

[Richard Chrz]

I just had a dram of that a few weeks ago. That is a quality bourbon!

[jfmorris]

Richard Chrz yes it is!

[HouseHomey]

I gave up the hooch over 6 months ago.

I just voted again? Because I can still taste it.

[Mr. Bones]

¡De Nada, Ese! Respect!

Love ya, Brother!
You Da Bestest!

[fzxdoc]

Wow, that's huge, HouseHomey . I'm proud of you. Stay the course--best wishes on that.

Kathryn

[Richard Chrz]

Keep rocking it!

[Mr. Bones]

Internally...

[Richard Chrz]

HA!

[Greasy]

My own whiskey I'll drink neat. If I want a cold drink I'll grab a beer.
If it's free whiskey I'm not picky!!!

[Mr. Bones]

I like how ya roll, Brother!

[texastweeter]

and by the bottle...

[Mr. Bones]

So, kinda surprised, there ain't no active, live, oak barrels, there at yer place? Hmmm...

[texastweeter]

Mr. Bones that would be considered moonshinin'and that illegal in Texas...

[Mr. Bones]

Yup, sorry, Brother; reckon I lost my lil ol mind, fer a second, or two....
What was I a thinkin???
Why, now that ya mention it, why, that there would jus be not only wrong, but illegal...totally my Bad, Brother, an I aplologize fer even speakin such things...
Or fer even thinkin, at all...


Cheers to ya, Amigo!
