I love single malt on the rocks. Or did. Consumed barrels of it in my yout'
But I was a younger lad then. Now only once in a blue moon. Or a yellow moon.

However, there is nothing wrong with it and it is the "American" way to drink scotch which is a way and there is nothing wrong with a way. I like to rinse my glass before I pour my dram in. Something round that is comfortable to hold in the palm imparting a small amount of warmth as the residual water mixes with the spirit to intensify and release the natural palette that the distiller has tried to create. If I want a cold refreshment I do like a good G and T.

I'm usually happy with a good IPA. Right now it is Stone GoTo IPA in the glass.

I quit drinking the so called "adult" beverages 40 plus years ago. Haven't missed them. Mtn Dew soda is my poison.

Not much of a hard liquor drinker, I mainly stick to Miller High Life. It is the champagne of beers. But I really like New Belgiums ABBEY and FAT TIRE. But,my god man, that stuff is liquid fart juice in a bottle. My wife hates it when I drink it.

All I ever drink is water, milk and Powerade on hot rides, but on occasion I'll put down a Grape Crush. No desire for a feeling of intoxication. I do have respect for microbrewers. They can make a good living by putting cool looking labels on their bottles and it makes beer drinkers feel hip and intellectual even if it tastes like crap. I'm thinking about rebottling Bud Light with a label of Einstein riding a road bike up the Alpe.

Islay being my favorite region. I am also a member of the Arbeg committee and get invites to sample free hooch...check it out.

Nice kit. How's the Balvenie double wood?

I kind of feel the same about single malt - there's just so much BS when it comes to the stuff, and in some cases it's driven the price all out of proportion.

And now that I've alienated just about everyone, I'll admit that I like a good single malt on occasion (without ice, you heathens) and also a fine sipping tequila, like Cuervo Reserva de la Familia or Porfidio Anejo Single Barrel. I just have a hard time justifying the three figure prices.
On the whole, I'll take a decent rye whisky, like the Canadians that Sixty-Fiver mentioned. For $35-$50 for a very good one, it's hard to go wrong. And failing that, Jack Daniels is a perfectly fine bourbon, despite its low-brow image and disdain from the snobs.

Temporarily working in Germany, so I'm loving the local pilsners.
As far as Bud goes, it IS a pilsner, so I think I'm going to give it another try. I'm not crazy about the ultra-hoppy microbrews. I don't understand why they're doing that.
