Actually, the Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey was pretty damn smooth.

For vodka, I just buy the cheap shit in the big plastic bottle for like $10. Crown Rosse or Skol or whatever. I use vodka for mixing, and it is just a waste of money to buy good shit for that.

[JackWhisper]

My family has always been able to drink any and all liquor short one.

Jim Beam. For some unknown reason, any male in the last four generations, including myself, and my brother ESPECIALLY, will vomit upon drinking it. My dad's the same, his dad's the same, and his dad's the same. No clue past that, as I have not asked.

So my favorite thing to drink is anything but that.

JD TH makes for a kind of nasty hangover, but--the two or three times I've had it weren't nights for moderation either.

As I recall, Maker's is a touch sweeter than Knob Creek - it has no rye in it, so Knob Creek might be better for making cocktails with a rye profile, like a Manhattan. But they're essentially in the same band of bourbon and you can't go wrong with either. Some people have a personal preference, neither is a mistake. Maker's also has the advantage of a nicer bottle design than Knob Creek, I guess.

For a gift, go with the blind nationalism theme, or the prettiest bottle. People just want to believe, give them what they want. All the hipsters were depressed when they learned that most of the local small batch boutique whiskeys they were raving about were all made at a giant factory in Indiana, and bottled in pretty glass bottles.

That said, my weird brand loyalties are
- Bushmills 21 straight
- Crown Royal for mixing , pretty bottle and little velvet bag.
- Mount Gay dark rum for fruity drinks, because I once toured the plantation place.
- Bombay Gin, because it has all the same herbals without being stupid expensive.
- Cheapo Vodak, it's freaking ethanol and water, and you're going to mix it, right? I'll occasionally spend the extra buck and get a pretty bottle of cheap vodka.

All this, and I probably have one or two drinks a month.

I do not like the blossom of melted ice. Stones seem like a possibly good idea. I've also heard good things about the ice spheres melting very slowly. I haven't bothered to check the science of that claim.

Spheres minimize the ratio of surface area to volume.
A cube with side length 1 has a volume of 1 cubic unit and a surface area of 6 square units. Ratio of surface area to volume: 6.
A sphere with radius .62 has a volume of 1 cubic unit and a surface area of 4.8. Ratio of surface area to volume: 4.8.
4.8 is about 80% of 6. The area where warm water can interact with ice is smaller by 20% even though the volume of ice is the same.
However, ice cubes tend to not be cubes and they assume progressively rounder shapes as they melt. The difference in time to being fully melted will not be 20%, and could be a good bit smaller.

My brother owns a few sets of special glasses. He too, has notions of concern for the 'blossom' of melting ice. He has glasses that have a small fan at the bottom that continually shifts the liquor and the growing amount of water to be properly mixed in the alcohol while being drunk. It's actually quite nice, and offsets the distaste of a watery sip in a particularly good brandy.

I might have already posted a picture/link to the whiskey stones I got, but whatever.

I thought they were neat because (other than being a d20) they do have that roundish shape like the whiskey sphere icecube tray things I've seen. My only concern is the "blossom". I tried to observe him drinking last night but he had wine, not whiskey lol. Whiskey is only for when he (rarely) loses in his hearthstone league lawl.

Glad to hear most people drink it straight anyways, it seems. They make the cute tiny bottles of Makers and Knob Creek so i might just do a little variety thing. I once made a valentine a "box of chocolate" with nips in it. I think it is a pretty clever idea---but I feel weird reusing an idea from a previous v-day. IT WAS SO SMART THO.

[Gnome Rage]

I also saw bacon roses online, which I totally would love to try to make him... but he's always at the house when I'm at the house!!! :(

[Palcron]

Blanton's is probably the best bourbon I've ever tasted. For something unique, Basil Haden's is awesome. Otherwise, if you're looking for something priced along the lines of Makers and Knob but better tasting, Jefferson's and Woodford Reserve are both good.

For vodka, Reyka is amazing. No kick whatsoever, so if you're a straight vodka martini drinker, you'll be hard pressed to find better.

For gin, they're all so different that personal taste makes the biggest difference. Personally, Sapphire always worked for me, and Hendricks is good, as well (though I have a hard time calling it a true "gin" when the flavor profile is nothing herbal or spice, and is instead rose and cucumber; it's incredibly smooth, however, so even if you hate gin, it's something you might enjoy).

I've always been partial to the Glenmorangie's for scotch, but Oban, Laphroaig (if you like smoky scotch) and Balvenie have all stood out as particularly good.

I can't not love Jameson for whiskey. Easy, smooth, drinkable.

Rum is whatever. I don't care much about liquor I have to mix to enjoy.

[Ker_Thwap]

You're over-thinking this. Bacon, on a plate, still on the paper towel you used to blot the excess grease. Perfectly adequate. If you want to get all fancy, you could cut the paper towel into a heart shape.

Heart shaped roses are mean. They will inevitably lead to the comparison of "I spend hours dwelling, nay obsessing on every aspect of your gift" vs. the "I bought you these grocery store flowers and chocolates on my way home." Why are you trying to start a fight!?!?

Military Special scotch. Also overproof Jamaican rum. Both times I was hung over for days.

I never really drank bad booze. The closest would probably be a lot of Bailey's with coffee.

And here I was thinking you were going to deliver.

It's chicken, it's Cusak, with a bonus Robbins thrown in. You're too picky.

I didn't much like beer as a Freshman in college and played drinking games with "mixed" drinks. Needless to say, I have had blackout nights on all the major alcohols and don't drink them much anymore. I'm primarily a craft beer guy.. but one of my new years resolutions was to drink red wine. Been drinking a glass or two most nights... but still mostly ignorant on the subject. So far, my favorite wine has been 14 Hands 2012 Merlot.

ETA: Worst gross shit I drank was a NY Brand called "Pub Club" They made every hard stuff type.. and it was all really, really bad.

Vodka & Red Bull. To this day if I drink or even smell a Red Bull I'm reminded of it.

Also my roommate was really into Bacardi Ice so he'd always buy that. I think they're called Bacardi Breezers now.

Peppermint schnapps. Some girl on the crew team brought a bottle once, it became a tradition, then we bought it by the case. Drunken toothpaste.

I think we're talking about different Cusacks here..

[tyrant-201]

Heritage Vodka (Albertson's brand), also really cheap canadian whiskey. Hangovers for days.

[Ardwen]

I drink Laphroaig or Ardbeg when I am sipping alone, when I have guests I make them drink Bushmills at about a third the cost, I do not share well hah. Booker's if I am in an American sort of mood. Also various tequila and vodka for making mixed drinks as needed, picked up a couple of Del Maguey Mezcals over the past month or so but have yet to try them

[Androidpk]

I didn't want any of your laphroaig anyways.

I can't decide if this is genius, or if you're the worst person ever. Do you routinely have guests over who you don't like very much? In laws maybe?

[Ardwen]

Usually but not always family no, and its not like Bushmills is terrible, I just dont like to share 200+ dollar bottles of better stuff when I can share 80 dollar or whatever Bushmills hell most of them wouldnt know the difference between the good stuff and stuff I brewed up in the tub the night before anyway.

True, and it would be really sad if someone took a sip, and poured their coke into the glass.

[Ardwen]

If they would rather drink Jack Daniels why would I gave them some 300 dollar bottle of Beam or Makers instead, some people really get what they deserve

[Wrathbringer]

Worst was maddog 20/20. Once.

Those are both really great rums.

We drink a lot of buffalo trace at work, it's not too shabby.

That's good stuff. I like bullitt too (sp?). Buddy of mine recently turned me onto monkey shoulder. Good stuff, not terribly expensive.

[Thondalar]

I'm a bourbon man myself, and I usually go Wild Turkey. Yeah yeah, redneck hillbilly blah blah...Wild Turkey actually has some pretty fine bourbon. The 101 and Rare Blend can punch you in the throat pretty hard, but the regular 81 proof is my usual go-to for shots between beers.

If I'm just looking for a scotch to sip on, I go Johnnie Walker. The rule of thumb with Johnnie Walker is black for normal consumption, blue for special occasions, and red for never.

That's actually pretty funny, I just had a co-worker suggest monkey shoulder to me a couple days ago. Haven't tried it yet, but it's on my to-do list.

Bulleit is a rye whiskey, don't usually get down with the rye but it's not at all bad.

There was this shit in Korea called Captain Q's. It was like $2 for a fifth. Just the smell made some people vomit, much less drinking the crap. I also used to just drink soju from the bottle all day.

[Taernath]

I inhereted a bunch of my parents' ancient half-finished alcohol bottles now that they no longer drink. Drambuie, Cointreau and just about every schnapps flavor under the sun. Drambuie is disgusting.

Anyway, I need to get some tequila but I've never been a big tequila drinker. All I really know is get 100% agave and avoid Patron. Any recommendations?

I've heard Cabo Wabo is pretty good. I avoid tequila like the plague unless it's in a margarita.

[Gelston]

Oh, I drink Yeungling Light now, no more BudLight for this guy.

Speaking of alcohol produced by celebrities, I'm going to pick up some Crystal Head too.
