Whiskey: American or Canadian ?

[classicrockgriller]

Just wondering if there are any whiskey: sippers, drinkers, gulpers, or shot takers out there? Name that favorite one and how you abuse it or how it abuses you.
My whiskey of choice is Crown! Smooth, sweet...could be made into a marinade. When my funds get low I still go to eh! land and get Canadian Hunter. I really don't like American Whiskey, .....unless that is all there is.

CRG,
If you don't like American whiskey than you haven't had Booker's poured straight out of the bottle into a Brandy snifter and sipped just like a fine Cognac.  Rarely do I indulge in a whiskey but when I do rest assured it is Booker's.  Just happens to be a Kentucky brewed whiskey from the Jim Beam family by the way.

JD straight out of the bottle. I used to buy it by the case in Calif but here i can only but 4 bottles at a time?

Yeah i use JD in my jerky marinades.

Yup! Sometimes I'm a whiskey sipper... sometimes a gulper... sometimes a shot taker... but allways a whiskey drinker!  :D

I like Crown too but my favorite is Schenley Golden Wedding and Schenley OFC. Both are a Canadian whiskey from "ehh" land... just like me!  :D

I live in such a small red neck area that I have to drive 22 miles for Liquor and can only bring a 1/5th back or
I can go to jail for transporting..the fine is $500.

Depends on my mood, and whether I'm feeling rich or not.  Have drank Crown, Black Velvet, Southern Comfort, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Kessler, Sunny Brook, Seagram's, and Canadian Hunter.  The only one that disagreed when I did not mix it, was Jack...it tried mighty hard to get back out, but I wouldn't let it.  Of course, then there is Rye Whiskey, one that is very smooth, but almost lethal in it's "Bootleg" form, is Templeton Rye, made right here in Western Iowa.

one of my first whiskey as an adult was jack. I have always been a dr pepper freak so i tryed that. Called them pepper jacks. Something about the after taste of American Whiskey. Soon switched to Crown.

CRG,
I'm about as refined as a sewer pickle in a punch bowl.  I just happened to discover Booker's by chance one night.  Someone bought me a shot of it and rather than throw it all back in one gulp, I wanted to taste it first as I had never had it before so I drank a bit of the shot and realized it was just too smooth to throw it back.

That's all it took and that, my friend is how I discovered Booker's.

It Is JD for me and I take it any which way I can get it.

I have to say here that Ky intrigued me on Booker's. Next time some one is coming from States side I will have him bring me one.

Nepas, I always bought JD by the case and still do and directly from the distributor and not some liquor store.

Afraid I limit my sipping to single malts from the place where they wear kilts.
