I know you’re probably not into Scotch. But these are both excellent single malts to begin and scotch sipping journey on:

I love me some Dalwhinnie!

Try one of those little bottles of the “new” peanutbutter whiskey. On the rocks, no water.  A little sweet, smoother than straight whisky, not very expensive.

Interestingly enough..my mom..didn't  drink mutch..but she liked Scotch..in the 80's my friend Debbie (also a Scotch drinker) suggested I try it...I was young and cheap..and bought a bottle of Cutty Sark? 

If I were to try something now..I know enough to spend a little more :whistle:

I bought Bailey’s at the store. We like it in our coffee on Thanksgiving morning. 
Can’t go wrong with cognac. Hennessy is a good choice. 

I got a taste for cognac from my wealthy grad school advisor at IIT.

My advisor at IIT had married a rich Chinese-American woman whose father owned a chain of dry cleaning stores in, I think, NYC.

So they lived in a 26th floor penthouse apartment in downtown Chicago overlooking the Playboy Building.

He threw a party a few times a year where he invited us poor grad students and expensive booze and food was always served.

As far as booze in a caffeinated drink goes, the hot toddy of rum, tea, and honey is good and smooth - and great for sore throats.

There are sweet liqueurs like Ouzo or Sambucca (both licorice flavored)or Limoncello that a lot of people enjoy. Grand Marnier (Orange) or Drambuie (Scotch with Honey) are popular.

Bourbon.  America's whiskey.  There really is no other choice.  Basil Hayden is a great middle of the road bourbon that is very smooth and not especially "hot".  

Blanton's is great.  My fav.  A little pricey if you can find it.  

Hayden is really, really good for the price.

For American, I really enjoy Bulleit Rye and Maker’s Mark.

Both Ouzo and Sambuca (which I prefer) are really good in strong black coffee.

The Glenlivet, 12 year is not too pricey and goes down very smooth. The Macallan 18 sherry oak is more pricey but definitely worth every penny once you have s taste for scotch.

As for sweet liqueurs, Mrs Z’s favorite is Disaronno.  She sips it on ice and really enjoys it.  I can’t drink it though. Way too sweet for me.   

So the next time you’re out this way @petitepedal, you can try some on us. We’ve always got a bottle.

Irish Whiskey - I like to sip on Jameson. We have an Irish Brew Pub that sells several Irish whiskeys. In blind tastes, I still gravitate to Jameson. 

Tequila - Casamigos or Rugo. Both worthy of sipping rather than shots. 

Rum - If you can find it, 7 Fathoms. It's distilled in the Cayman Islands then stored in whiskey casks, sealed in plastic and sunk 42 feet (7 fathoms) at sea for a year.  Great sipper!

Scotch, I do like Macallan a lot.

What’s wrong with Cutty? I drank a lot of Cutty when I was in my early twenties. In a working man’s bar Cutty was on the top shelf.
