whiskey drinkers

Whatever Canadian is on sale that month works for me, the wife CR only. Mist, Windsor, CC, VO, they all taste a little different but with diet soda or in a Manhattan who knows. CR Special Reserve with a little water for a special occasion. Have not tried any of the flavored CR's yet.
 
When we go to Red Lobster I always get peach ice tea. Bought some peach CR and mixed it with some bottled sweet tea and WOW was that ever good!
My new favorite mixed drink! Iowa won't allow it yet so I had to get it in Missouri.

Many years ago I was auditing the state liquor dispensary. Liquor is sold
through state stores in Idaho. I was working a few minutes after 5PM and
the old superintendent invited me into his office. He told me he had a store
that was coming up one bottle of Black Velvet short every day. He called the
manager and said you don't know me, but your going to. Then he gave
me a 5th of Black Velvet and said take this home, set down in your easy
chair, pour a glass and just sip it. Pretty soon you will be out of this world.
I did and I was.
 
I've always found the Canadians a bit lacking on flavor although the CR Black is the best of them. I don't mix soda with good whisky. That's what the cheap stuff is for. Although cheap I find the Jim Beam Black too good to adulterate. I will sometimes add a splash of good water to my whisky. A good blended scotch with a good bottled sparkling water can be enjoyable. Good straight stuff I drink neat. I do enjoy a good Gin with tonic and wedge or twist on a nice sunny afternoon as well a Cuba libre. But that's about my limit of mixing liquor with soda. There's just no hope for some of you guys.
 
Crown Peach is OK, but.......

If you haven't tried the Salted Carmel version, then....... well just find some.
We started a Thanksgiving morning tradition a couple years back, sipping Crown Salted Carmel while prepping the turkey and dishes for the day, yum yum.

Tourist walks into the bar at the Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow, Wyoming.

Orders whiskey and water.

Bartender puts a whiskey bottle and a pitcher of water on the bar, says "If you want one of those fancy mixed drinks, you gotta make it yourself!"
 
I have drank CR for years. I prefer it on the rocks. I started out on Seagrams 7, Lord Calvert Canadian, and eventually VO. VO Gold is better than regular VO in my opinion.
 
I’ve been slowly working on a nice 12 yr. aged bottle of Bib & Tucker Tennessee Bourbon and I’ve gotta say, it’s one of the better Tennessee Bourbons that I’ve ever tried !

When my Dad ordered a Scotch, if someone asked him if he wanted ice, he would growl :" if I wanted a mixed drink I'd have asked for one!"
Me. I like ice..
