Re: Rave: I love whiskey.
Whiskey is indeed wonderful. A friend in Chicago sent me a bottle of Bulleit Rye here and damn is it delicious. One of the best Ryes I've had.
It's funny how used your body and mind get to doing certain shots. Here just about the only thing people shoot when out in bars is tequila so ordering a shot of whiskey is actually sometimes a pain in the ass so I never do it here. Last weekend I bought this Australian guy a shot of Jameson for his birthday and it was funny watching him grimace and try not to puke. I haven't done a shot of Jameson in like 10 months but I'm so used to them from living in Chicago that for me it was nothing, even after so much time off.

I sip whiskey, I don't do shots. I was at a bar the other night when a friend ordered a loaded Corona - which was just Corona with a shot of tequilla on the side. Now that I would shoot - but he sipped it. Nursed it for 20 minutes.

Re: Rave: I love whiskey.
If it's good whiskey, yeah, shooting it is a waste. For me Irish whiskey is ideal for shooting. It's generally nice and smooth and goes down easily. If I'm going to sip whiskey then ideally it's bourbon or rye or something other than Irish whiskey which for me is usually one note and not that interesting to drink.jim wrote:I sip whiskey, I don't do shots.

Good tequila > Good whiskey > Bad whiskey > Bad tequila
I order a Templeton with a couple ice cubes after work. It's delicious.
