Scotch or Bourbon?

[year of the roo]

The new mckenna's bourbon isnt bad.

cheaper than turkey but dearer than beam.

very smooth.

oh and in response to the question........


i hate scotch. its way too sweet.

Scotch too sweet but you happily drink Bourbon?

There is no emoticon for how I feel right now. Deary me...

Candian Club, Though I've only had the premix with Cola. What is the "Dry" stuff like? I also like Highlander.

Im mostly a beer guy, but CC is my fave drink.

Highlander is cheap, nasty stuff. CC is neither Scotch nor Bourbon.

Expand your repertoire my friend

Definately Bourbon as my quaffing drop, Makers Mark

Burbs varies a lot tho, i think Beam tastes like distilled dog s**t

Nothing against scotch however

PS: scotch or bourbon? Depends upon the drink. Never got into the entry Beam and Walker.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

Like both.

Don't mind a bit of Southern Comfort.

This from a bourbon drinker. Me thinks someone is in athread a little over his head.

I did too until an 18th birthday party many eons ago.

Drank a bottle then woke up in a puddle of vom that smelt like SC. Could never touch the sickly sweet stuff again. Even the smell knocks me.

Teachers Highland Cream

Dont overlook Jamieson though

When did Teacher's cease being a Scotch and became an Irish Whiskey? Teacher's is the pick of the $30 blended whiskies IMO. Kicks the hopelessly overrated Johnnie Walker.

Duncan and Burns isn't bad either. A 12 year old whisky for under $30?

Peach flavoured bourbon?

Sissy drink.

Just nerding on a bit more-

Jack Daniels is called American Whiskey and not Bourbon because it is made in Tennessee, not Kentucky (Bourbon is a trademarked term for Kentucky Whiskey). The taste difference is the charcoal filter JD employs.

I am 99% sure Irish Whiskey is triple distilled, as opposed to distilled just the once in Scotches. Gives Irish a sweeter, smoother flavour.

The Term single refers to the fact it is from one distillery, as opposed to blends which are from several. From memory, up to 30 distilleries contribute to Jonnie Walker Red Label.

I'm pretty sure SC is actually a fruit liqueur, the marketing just plays it up as a bourbon.

Bulleit Bourbon is ****ing brilliant stuff.

Yes

 

[Mancey]

Ahh Bulliets.

Wild turkey pre mixes used to be my catch up drinks, changed to the bulliets. Geez, they're rocket fuel.

McKennas aren't bad tho.

 

[davey_23]

I usually drink Jim Beam because i am a student and dont have much money but have to agree Bulleit is good s**t

Alot of my mates drink Woodstocks cos its cheap but it tastes like s**t.

 

[Korn]

which one is better, bourbon whiskey or tennessee whiskey?

Canadian Club is great. CC & Dry premix is not great, however mix them yourself and it is very nice. CC is a very versatile whisky, can be mixed with many things and even made into cocktails. Buy a bottle and give it a shot.

I used to be a bourbon man, however I am a scotch man these days. I still drink both though...

My favourites...

Bourbon: Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, Jim Beam.
Scotch: Chivias Regal, The Macallan and Highland Park (I don't buy either of the last two, but I work for the company that sells them!)
Whisky: Canadian Club, Jamieson.

 

[Stakerz]

JimBeam all the way

 

[janiek]

i'm a blend girl
famous grouse or jamieson's my faves
if i want sweet then i mix the grouse with a bit of drambuie to get a nice rusty nail or jamieson in with some baileys

 

[Smoooothy]

chivas regal scotch on the rocks

beautiful stuff

i dunno. its just if i compare Johnnie Walker to Beam...... With Coke Obviously........ I find the JW too sweet.

Even Woodstock bourbon tastes alot sweeter than beam.............

This coming from a mostly beer & kahlua/milk(later) drinker though.

JD would be the "bitumen of choice"


Not sure how it works.

John Lee Hooker solved the problem, both, 1 Bourbon, 1 Scotch and 1 Beer.
