I’m a Scotch man. I like Aberfeldy 18, Balvenie single cask, and Kilchoman for my top 3.

I also love a Dubonnet Manhattan or a hazy IPA. Red over white wine, IMO

    Recently I’ve been all about the “Boulevardier.” It’s an adaptation of a Negroni. My preferred blend: Campari, Carpano Antiqua sweet vermouth, Rebel Bourbon and a splash of club soda over ice. A couple cherries or an orange twist if I’m feeling fancy.

      Another great variation is to add a splash of aperol! (About 1/4/ to 1/3 oz). It mellows the bitterness of the compari just the perfect amount in my opinion.

    If you’ve got a nice collection of scotch, get a bottle of Drambuie (also technically scotch) to make the classic “Rusty Nail.” You’ll upset the scotch purists but delight your pallet

    I’m not very sophisticated, so I generally go for a beer. I like Modelo, Corona, Blue Moon, or Spotted Cow (WI Regional). Some of the Leinkugel’s seasonals are pretty good, for a while I was obsessed with their Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. Our local brewery/restaurant makes a milk stout that I get pretty much anytime we eat there.

    Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.

    I like too many for a concise list.

    I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo

    Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality

    Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way

    For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.

      I’ve tried the entry level ardbeg and it’s fantastic. I’ll have to check out the other two. Try Kilchoman if you haven’t. It’s also wonderful

    Winter: Hot toddy with Scotch.

    Non-winter: Flavored vodka and Mio. In the summer, I’ll mix that with ice and blend into a slushie.
