Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

When I decided bourbon and scotch had gotten ridiculous a few years ago, agave was my next move. Then that got crazy and I turned to rum. Hopefully by the time rum gets popular, whiskey will be cheap again.

@68degreesorless You're 100% right,just try and stay a little bit ahead of the curve. I've followed a similar path in that I'm drinking a lot more agave based products,and I can definitely thank this thread for inspiring me to up my game when it comes to that. I got tired of chasing after bourbon. If I can't get a certain tequila/mezcal it's only because it's not available in my area,as opposed to being allocated.

@ARNC , I haven't had the Goose Island collab. I'm not big on finished Bourbons. Now, a Goose Island stout, aged in Bourbon barrels would be a different story. I have had the rye. It's very good. But, for a significantly lower price, you could get this... https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/84434/green-river-rye , and be just as satisfied.

@scooter that black labeled Origin bottle from Bardstown was real tasty. I'd do it again. It's the only one i've tried from them though. Are any others a better buy?

It depends on your personal preference. The Origin black label is a wheated Bourbon. I'm a rye Bourbon kind of guy, so the white label is my preferred dram. It was very close to making my "always on hand list". But, it's a $42 bottle in my neck, and it just couldn't knock Four Roses single barrel off my list, which I can get for $45...

Thanks @scooter! Green River added to my wish list (currently growing faster than I can buy but I guess I’ll catch up eventually).

@scooter fair. I’m more of a high-rye guy myself. But we like what we like

How do you guys drink whiskey? Do you drink a glass in the evening or do you prefer to drink vodka to the bottom of the bottle? It's hard to drink a lot of whiskey. Whiskey is not as easy to drink as vodka. I drink 250 ml of white water per evening.
