What Carbine Chaos you weren't watching the mighty demons?
Monkey Shoulder ain't bad, and I'm usually a single malt man, but Canadian Club (also blended) is my favourite.
Ardbeg just about knocked me out, but I am not a seasoned drinker, yet.....

What Luke beverages do you drink?
Stick with scotch either neat or with a dash of water. Don't be one of those 3 cube guys, just proves you're clueless about how to drink it. If you want ice that's fine but either pack the glass so the ice melts slower or use one big cube.
Here are my thoughts on your drink choice and how I judge you;
Beer drinkers.
- The guy who only drinks craft beer; Don't get me wrong i enjoy craft beer but I'm pretty open to anything, craft or not. May as well get some sleeve tattoos and change your surname to Masten if you insist on only craft.
- Corona drinkers; Anyone who drinks a beer that needs a ****ing lime in it to give it any flavour needs their head checked. There's a time and place for them and that time and place is with your pussy, non-beer loving mates. That or the past as you want to forget you ever had a thing for them. Sorry Keys.
- Pale ale drinkers; Their favourite must be fruit salad with edible flowers sonthey go for the beer that smells and tastes closest to it. That or they're a slave to fashion.
- VB/Carlton draught/Toohey's/etc...; Dad drank it and I have no opinions of my own so I decided to drinknthe same thing, probably from the age of 14. Oh and Winnie blues.
- Import drinkers; So sophisticated and classy, these people don't realise they're drinking their beer's country's equivalent of Fosters.
- Melbourne bitter; "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok..." I used to buy this shit out of a shopping trolley at bottle-os in Launceston back in my teen years for $1, now it's one of the more expensive beers on tap adored by flanelette loving hipsters in trendy pubs all across Melbourne.
- NZ sav blanc; these same people probably drank crouchen riesling back in the day and jumped on the chardonnay bandwagon yet now claim they hate it. Anyone who drinks something that smells of cats piss and passionfruit needs to make better life choices.
- Big barossa reds; Boring businessmen with no mind of their own looking to impress others guys who have no idea about wine either. Of course there's some amazing wines from there but when the only wine you know is penfolds grange and insist it's the best, well you're probably the kind of guy that name drops people you met 5 years ago like you know them to try to clinch a business deal.
- Merlot drinkers; Ever seen a unicorn? Neither have I.
- Glennfiddich; You just spent 5 minutes staring at my collection of single malts, asking me questions yet settled on Glennfiddich 12yo? You're either clueless or cheap.
- Johnnie walker blue; "What's your most expensive scotch?" This person doesn't understand that the most expensive is not necessarily the best but they are a tosser who just wants to show whoever they are with that they have money to burn. Expect this person to order with 3 cubes, take one sip then ask for a splash of coke.
- Anything peaty; had Laphroaig once on a work tab and now has to tell his mates/colleagues how much of a whisky expert he is.
- Creamy drinks; Personally i rarely see these people anymore but it's almost always some fat lady in her thirties, some old duck who only drinks brandy alexanders or some tool who keeps raving how awesome they are because he can't taste the alcohol. Of course you can't mate, i put one shot of chocolate liqueur in there and charged you $16...
- Negroni drinkers; Either hipsters, pretentious gits or bartenders. I know this for a fact because I am the latter 2 of those 3 options.
- Vodka martini drinkers, shaken; Fresh off their James Bond marathon these people think they are the height of sophistication where really they're just morons. Never order this drink in a decent bar because everyone working there will judge you. Oh and the drink's real name is Kangaroo cocktail.
- Fruit tingle drinkers; Just show me your ID love...
- Bundy drinkers; All those great rums out there and you choose to drink the one that tastes like a sweaty miner's arse? Probably explains why those fly in, fly out workers like it so much.
- Scotch & coke; Fine if you drink the cheapest scotch but when you start asking for Johnnie black or better then that just tells me you've got more money than sense.
- Tequila sunrise; A favourite of the RSL denizens this drink tells me you have all the sophisication of a homeless guy in Frankston.
- Vodka cranberry drinkers; Typical WCE Bigfooty board poster.

why pretend to be something your not.
I used to always drink neat but it'svactually recommend to add a small amount of water and never ice. The water takes the edge off the burn without chilling and reducing the flavour.
Oh and I updated my post to answer the other part of your question.

What do you currently drink?OK bzparkes, what Scotches would you recommend? I'm trying to work my way through them to see which I like.
Bender all you need is the double (8.8). 4 of those = dreamlike state.

Currently have Ardbeg 10 yo and Glen Moray in single malts
Have Canadian Club and Monkey Shoulder in blended whiskeys.
I pretty much try to sample different brands and styles each time. What does that tell you about me?

Well Islay whiskies are my favourite so because you've got Ardbeg you're good in my books. Had Lagavulin 16yo before? It's pretty popular these days but was the whisky that got in interested in Scotch. The Glenlivet founder's reserve is really good and you can usually get it on special for under $50, which is surprising considering how good it is.Currently have Ardbeg 10 yo and Glen Moray in single malts

Oban and Cragganmore are also 2 must try whiskies. Personally I want to try Balvenie but haven't been able to justify the cost at this stage. Also anything Japanese by Suntory is phenomenal but hard to find and pricy. I try to pick up a couple of bottles duty free whenever I come back from overseas.
Normal, it makes you normal.

Yes, my father in law likes those peaty whiskeys, so I usually buy him Lagavulin or Laphroaig for his birthday. Have got him Oban and Cragganmore in the past.
Lagavulin was my preference of those 3. One I bought him, can't remember which, felt like I was being kicked in the head by the donkey that carted it up from those smuggler's coves!
Glenlivet have looked at. Will look into this Balvenie. If I splash out enough, I will invite you around.
Suntory, I have not even looked at.

It's a nice idea, but at $12 bucks each that's $48. I can get a carton of Hoegaarden for $50.
