August 5, 201610 yr The definition of scotch is made in Scotland. Like champagne from the champagne region of France. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app Thanks dad, I already googled it tho.
August 6, 201610 yr Author I just had my first beer last week. It was nasty Did a student buy it for you? Most beer is hard to get through for me.
August 6, 201610 yr whats yallz favs whiskeys/bourbon? scotch to smokey for me Booker's is probably my favorite. It's very hot but still incredibly smooth. I don't drink it much at home outside of special occasions because it's rather pricey for me (I'd really like to try the more expensive stuff...), but I'll normally have it instead of a cocktail if I'm out. 101 is what I get the most for home since you can get a handle for so cheap and it's ABV is so high. Bulleit and Four Roses is also great in that price range. Tom Sims is good to have around as a bottom shelf bourbon. Very few other brands hold up to it in the ~10-12 dollar range. Perfect for bourbon and cokes, getting drunk, or using it on people who don't appreciate liquor.
August 6, 201610 yr I've been meaning to get more into scotch. Had Lagavulin recently and that was really good. What should I try out in the $25-40 range?
August 8, 201610 yr I don't know how anyone can drink that shit called gin It's about as smart as wanting to drink diesel fuel. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
October 6, 20169 yr Author Yeah gin haters are crazy. Finally tried Bombay sapphire and the New amsterdam gin which has more citrus notes. Man they are great. Now Tequila? That shit smells like a dank dirty alcohol soaked taint. i think I'm mainly a rum guy but enjoy whiskey and gin. Vodka is just too plain to be enjoyable in anything other than a cocktail.
October 6, 20169 yr Not a rum fan Fuck gin Fuck vodka Tequila is fair. Whiskey is the tits. Bourbon is the tits. Scotch is the greatest thing to come out of Scotland ever (and border collies). Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app

July 1, 20188 yr Any of you tried RedBreast whiskey? I got into thebottle of Jameson Black Barrell and Captain Morgan reserve I had sitting around since Friday, and I quite enjoyed em. Was thinking of try Redbreast but wasn't sure if it's worth the $65 for a 12 year old bottle or should I cowboy up to the 15 year at $115 a bottle. Theres a 21 year old bottle, but for $250 I think I'd stick with Blue Label. Little help here woudl be appreciated. I know you guys are degenerates like myself so I don't feel the need to go to a fancy board and get "schooled" on how to drink to enjoy, not to get plastered. I only get plastered when I enjoy it.

July 2, 20188 yr Have never tried it. Fun that this thread is back up I guess. I don't always dredge shit back up from "Giveafuck bay" but when I do I hope to turn future generations of the board into cultured swine too.
July 6, 20188 yr I'm a simple man. My three favorite drinks are a Dry Gin and Sugar Free Tonic, A Dry Dirty Martini, and Jack Daniels on the rocks. I'll dabble in others on rare occasion, but I primarily stick to these things. I will never buy a Gin and Tonic at a bar because the tonic water is almost never fresh and/or they only have straight gin. I'll only get my Martini's from classy places because those are usually the only places I can trust to make them right. Alas, these two I usually only have home. Jack Daniels on the rocks is about the only drink I can trust a place to make proper when I am out and about.

RedBreast is some damn good Irish Whiskey. May be some of the best on the market. Its a nice change from scotch from time to time. My suggestion, try to find a bar with some Redbreast (wont be your cheap as shit local crapholes) and have a drink. Test it out if you dont want to take the plunge. Bushmills is also pretty decent stuff.

Jack Daniels on the rocks is about the only drink I can trust a place to make proper when I am out and about. Absolutely true on Martini's. It all comes down the the barkeep. If they know their shit, they can knock a Martini out of the park. If they are a useless hack, its going to be a fucking disaster.

Bushmills is also pretty decent stuff. That's a pretty great suggestion, I didn't think to go and grab one at a bar. I guess I'll pull up a stool one of these days. Luckily I work in South Beach so I'm sure there's about 100 places I can get my hands on it fairly easily. Just overly paranoid a bar has the cheap stuff in the top shelf bottles for schmucks like me who don't know the difference yet. I enjoyed the Black Barrel Jameson, and might try the "Gold?" or "Single Cask" options they have soon. Seems like Jameson doesn't put out a bad product period. ProTip: Jameson sells a beer bottled sized option tht's perfect for sneaking into movie theatres that sell beer. Paul Rudd is great in Ant-Man lol.
July 10, 20188 yr Absolutely true on Martini's. It all comes down the the barkeep. If they know their shit, they can knock a Martini out of the park. If they are a useless hack, its going to be a fucking disaster. The best Dirty Martini I ever had was from this fancy Italian restaurant not too far from where I live. The waitress who took our order did not bring me drink, the barkeep did. That really impressed me. And quite simply, it was fantastic.
August 4, 20188 yr Where are my fellow liquor drinkers? Can't let this thread get stale again like a 6 month old whiskey.
