Jack Black was good enough for Sinatra, so it's good enough for me. No mixers though. I think a shot of jack and a bud longneck are one of the great american combinations.
Crown Royal makes a great Manhattan, super smooth. Also love Crown and Ginger.
Found a relatively cheap bourbon called Old Weller at the local liqourama, it's high proof (107) and seven years old. Might be worth looking into if you are into that kind of thing. I like bourbon at high proofs, like grandad and turkey. I try to stay away from Beam... for some reason it just makes me sloppy drunk.
Best blended is Johnny Walker. Favorite single malt is Oban 14. This one bartender told me that all the little independent distilleries are pretty much out of business and certain distributors have bought up all their stock and rights to their lablels. Anyone else hear anything like that?
If it's Irish, it has to be Jamesons. And as they say in the Emerald Isle, "There's nothing like whiskey to make a lad frisky."
