    Recommend me a whiskey (and cigars)

    As I'm sitting here finishing off the last of the Johnnie Walker Black that I got for my birthday I realized that I need a new bottle of whiskey. The trouble is that I don't know anybody that drinks whiskey. With all the fine taste in firearms around here I know that some of you have got to have equally good taste in alcohol so what whiskey would you recommend?

    ETA-This is not to be mixed with anything. I am looking for a good whiskey to drink neat.

    ETA #2- let's also talk cigars a these two subjects go hand in hand. I'm new to the smoking world but it is the best bad habit I've ever started. Cigar talk starts on page 9.

    The Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky

    Glenlivit is good... aberlour 12 is better. Try it. Once you go single malt, you'll be hooked.

    Looks like we've got a scotch crowd here. I did not like the taste at all when I first started that bottle mentioned above but after tasting it several times I enjoyed that last glass a lot. Scotch recommendations are definitely welcome.

    I looked through that thread a couple times and I'm thinking of picking up a bottle of Makers Mark because of it.

    How much are you trying to spend?

    When you say "whiskey", do you mean American bourbon from Kentucky, Irish Whiskey, or single malt Scotch Whisky? They are different beasts.

    American - I am partial to Buffalo Trace bourbon. Very inexpensive, only about $20 a bottle, no import duties.

    Irish - Black Bush Irish Whiskey. About $40 a bottle if you can find it.

    Scottish - Glenmorangie 18-year-old single malt Scotch, about $120 a bottle.

    All of these taste very good neat. No ice, no water, just a glass to pour it in. I love my poison unadulterated.

    Whiskey is for mixing and Scotch is for drinking Neat
