names says it all. someone might want to make another one for beer starting this off with my first, my one, my only Lagavulin 16 Distiller's Edition. The perfect blend of smoky peat and sweet. A true marriage of the Islay and Speyside regions  |

Templeton Rye is amazing
Makers Mark is good...just basic mainstream bourbon
love the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve, but at 120 proof it needs a little water or ice to calm the burn and open up all the flavors. once you do that, you really get some complex flavors

I generally put a single bourbon rock in my bourbon or scotch but the Knob Creek definitely needs the water I had the Templeton Rye at a new place here in town called Bar Louie. It, along with Angel's Envy, are probably my favorite bourbons now. If you haven't tried Angel's Envy, get it get it get it  |

and going back across the pond... The Balvenie Doublewood is a very good sherry cask finished scotch that you can get for under $50. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask is a bit more, but I haven't heard of anything else like it. Instead of the finishing the aging process of the scotch in former Sherry casks, it is finished in casks that were used to age rum. really good stuff   |

Actually, the best scotch I ever had was from a buddy who gave me a few glasses of some crazy $400 bottle that he had sitting around, but I'm not paying that much for scotch for myself. Anyway, that's great stuff. |
