Aidan, your post reminds me that I need to read and learn to set up ms3 to flash one of the dash lights when I pass a certain knock threshold.

Also, I hate vodka. I can deal with titos in a mixed drink. I'm more of a shaken dirty gin martini, negroni, greenpoint, Manhattan, kinda guy.

Scotch and mezcal cocktails are next level.

Titos vodka. Beefeater gin. Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey. Blanton's Bourbon. Ron Zacapa rum if drinking it straight. Mount Gay rum if not straight.

Brugallllllllll!!!!!

If you're a scotch guy, see if you can find Glen Moray. It's the best house scotch I've found for the price. It's a speyside and is ~25-30 bucks a bottle.

For irish whiskey, I really like Jameson Caskmates (aged in stout barrels). I need to find a decent bourbon. I haven't really had much of it.

For my current choice of scotch, y'all should give Dewar's a shot, I've gotten many friends hooked after trying it. The 12 year, (white label) is $25, and extremely good neat, mixed, or on the rocks.

I don't usually pick blended scotch.

Also, re: Irish whiskey.
Had green spot and yellow spot at a bar in beggars busy, Dublin a few years ago. It was fantastic. Also Jack / pat Ryan? Can't remember which one it was..

I first had good rum in Nicaragua. Fleur De Cana. Stuff was awesome. It was so cheap I bought the 12 and 18 year aged stuff for myself and a few as gifts for family. I was 18. I think I cried when a bottle broke in my suit case lol.

A friend and I would take a shot before and after every chem lab report we wrote. Oh frosh year of college....

If you care about what type of booze, you're amateurs.
