I'll have to remember to try Macallan the next time I buy a bottle of hooch. For the money I don't think you can beat regular old Bushmill's. Last I saw, a fifth was priced around $22.00 American, and yet it tastes better than most whiskeys twice the price. Maybe you wouldn't care for Irish whiskey because they almost never use peat.

Back to the smoky variety, the best in that category IMHO is still Jack Daniel's. The difference between it an bourbon is that JD is charcoal filtered before it's casked. That mellows it some, yet still leaves distinctive character. All Tennessee whiskey is charcoal filtered, but Jack Daniel's is the best. It's a very popular brand for a reason.

Ahhh, I love the smokiness of scotch, but there are some scotches that have more sherry-like flavours than the peaty flavours. Aberlour's Abunudh is a nice one that only has a hint of peat. If you can get your hands on a MaCallan that's a really nice whiskey with no smoke at all.

Anyways, I'll see if I can taste some of that Gibson's or Wiser's soon. We can compare notes

Really? I kid about Canadian whiskey - Crown Royal, Pendleton, and Tangle Ridge are all great tasting, and even regular old Canadian Club and VO are pleasing to my palate. I know there are a few people out there who dismiss Canadian whiskey because they claim it's too 'light' in flavor, and for the cheap shit that's true. But a glass of good Canadian hooch, especially the higher end stuff like Gibson's and Wiser's, can stand toe to toe with whiskey made anywhere else on Earth, IMHO.

Scotch and bourbon both taste too smoky to me, but they'll do if there's nothing else around.

Lol, I've only had bourbon once and it didn't really impress me. I still haven't had any Canadian whiskey. Weird, eh?

And I don't like bourbon. I'd rather drink (ugh) Canadian whiskey.

The truth: I don't like scotch. I prefer regular whiskey, preferably blended, and even more preferably Irish whiskey. I just said scotch because it made the sentence flow better. I'm a wordsmith.

Thank you! Oh, and can you recommend any good scotch?

I like my jazz as I like my scotch - smooth. Also my bowel movements.

Glad I could do it. However I don't think I'll be posting the Gilberto/Getz video any time soon. I haven't posted a video in half a year, and I don't see myself doing it any time soon. If you want to post it, be my guest. If I see it posted I'll promote it too.
In reply to this comment by Fusionaut:
Thank you for the promote and that is a great video as well I think you should sift it!

This song really takes me back. Even though it was released before I was born, it still received a fair amount of air play in the early '70s, back when there were more than talk shows on the AM dial. Of course I'm referring to the Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz version that most of the English-speaking world is familiar with, but Eliane Elias's is awesome too.
