What's this?

Yeah, it's interesting how my taste for brown liquor has changed.

I always drank bourbon with ginger or 7up until probably my late 20's. I just didn't like the taste. One weekend I made my typical drink and it tasted like sugar water and from that day on, I have been drinking bourbon and water. My taste buds changed over night.

I also never cared for scotch but sipped some a few years ago and found that I liked it. I've stayed away from it though (mainly because it's more expensive than bourbon) until recently. Now, I occasionally enjoy sipping a scotch on ice in place of my bourbon.

And no, I have no idea what I'm talking about; I just know what I like.

I think I've found my Scotch, Glenmorangie Original (10 yr.) -- Tank 08/26/2017 5:43PM

Nice one. It's very light and smooth. But too light for Pops. ** -- MontyPythokie 08/27/2017 4:59PM

I rotate Glenmorangie, Balvenie, and Laphroaig quarter cask. -- Gadfly 08/26/2017 9:14PM

Thanks, I'll give those a try. -- Tank 08/26/2017 9:56PM

Add Highland Park in there ....you'll like!! ** -- DonHo-kieHi 08/27/2017 08:39AM

Smoky character of scotch is due to exposing the malt to burning peat. -- Gadfly 08/26/2017 10:22PM

Love it! Not a day sweet as most bourbon. Not as smokey as most scotch. ** -- FSIHokie 08/26/2017 7:40PM

Oh, I am a scotch plebeian, but I wasn't trying to be disparaging -- `lag 08/26/2017 7:59PM

Anyone that uses mixers with their liquor should stick with the cheap stuff -- EDGEMAN 08/26/2017 9:25PM

Totally agree. Why demand Grey Goose for your Bloody Mary? -- Tank 08/26/2017 9:37PM

I've got a bottle of pretty middle-of-the-road Macallan 12 -- `lag 08/26/2017 8:19PM
