OK with the St Patrick's day festivities about to start on Friday, and run through the 21'st, what is your Irish beer of choice? Guinness stout, Harp Lager, Smithwicks Irish Ale, Killians Red ale? yes I know Coor's brews Killians..
Can't say I'm really a fan of any of those. If I have to drink something Irish I'll go with whiskey.
Irish whiskey is my least favorite of the main whiskey families.
Agreed, I can't think of any that I particularly care for. I'll go scotch and call it close enough. Or bourbon and give a middle finger to the rest of the world! USA!! USA!! USA!!
Jameson Black isn't bad but I prefer scotch
I'm coming back around to scotch, been trying a lot of it lately. Just bought a bottle of 2014 Kilchoman Machir Bay last night. Peated and finished in sherry casks, right up my alley as far as scotch is concerned.
I prefer Port cask finishing myself. I really love Scotch, but not as an incidental drink. I put Scotch in that class of things I enjoy that require a significant portion of my attention when I enjoy them - along with smoking cigars, riding my Harley, shooting, playing music, and the cute blonde I married.
That sounds like a full attention agenda!
Yeah, but see, there isn't a lot of overlap. Scotch and cigars is okay, shooting and cigars is okay, Scotch and playing music is okay, Scotch and the blonde is good to a limited extent. Scotch doesn't go with Harley's or shooting. So, there are tradeoffs.
