    On my flight to California I ordered a Glenlivet. I thought that it would help me to sleep, and I like Glenlivet. They had run out of it on the plane and gave me a Dewars, gratis, in it's place. Very disappointed. And I still did not sleep.

      Dewars is the worst. But I don't like Glenlivit much either. I much prefer peaty Scotch.

        Ugh! Ever since one fateful night as a Freshman in college, I can't stand the smell of Jack Daniels. Apparently you can't either if you need to put all that junk in it!

          I don't think I've had JD since I proved to someone that I could indeed drink it straight from the bottle without a qualm.

          I don't dislike it per se, but if I'm going cheap I'd rather have Beam.

              I think blends are less likely to taste like lighter fluid.

                What does lighter fluid taste like, anyway?

                  Just like Dewars.

                    I must just be weird. I've liked every whisky I've ever tried. And I've never even had Jack Daniels.

                    My Balvenie, Speyburn, Ardbeg, and Glen Moray bottles are all almost empty.

                      Pappy van Winkle is supposed to be the best. Goes for over $1,000 a bottle.

                        Drinking Blue Label is a quick way to become poor.

                          My philosophy/justification for buying top shelf whisky: the more I spend on it, the less likely I am to abuse it and drink it quickly.

                          ETA: Also, it lasts me for a good long time. My bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan has lasted me more than two years so far, at the rate I drink it.

                              Eh, I think I'll hold onto that one.

                              Funny, If I wanted to really turn somebody off of whisky, that's the one I would have them try. Hoo boy that one is powerful.

                                Sounds like my excuse for buying craft beers. I can't help but linger over a nice imperial stout or barleywine.
