Recently discover a local rye whiskey from a distillery called Whistlepig. It's fairly pricy at $65 per bottle, but boy is it smooth and delicious. Makes a great Manhattan, but even better neat or on the rocks.

Was just given an 18 yo Glenlivet as a farewell gift so I'll be doing what I can to help the cause of Scotch.

My dad exclusively drank scotch when I was a kid. Me and my buddies tried to cut it with everything known to man. We eventually settled on Squirt. Tasted like crap. But it worked out great for us because my old man drank scotch and waters, so hiding our tracks was pretty easy without getting noticed. Easy way to get sauced for us.
