What's your favorite style of whiskey-Bourbon, Canadian, Irish, Scotch or Tennessee? I prefer Bourbon followed by Irish. Farmerart, any Canadian recommendations?

First off, in English the word is spelled whisky, English being one of the two languages of Canada.
The dirty little secret of Canadian whisky is that it is mostly corn liquor with only a small portion of liquor distilled from rye. Personally, I find almost all Canadian 'Rye' to be undrinkable swill - Canadian Club, Crown Royal, Seagram's 7, etc. Weiser and Gibson have aged blends that are passable (only if someone gives you a bottle not if you have to buy the bottle).
There is one outstanding exception to these corn liquor abominations that are passed off as rye whiskys. That exception is Alberta Distillers. All products from Alberta Distillers are 100% rye whisky. If you can find it, Alberta Distillers Special Reserve 30 is most drinkable. It was released just before Christmas, 2011. I bought a case @ $55/bottle, a very reasonable price for a premium whisky. Unhappily it is no longer available in my area of Canada. The 25 year might still be available but it is not as smooth and mellow as the 30 year. Alberta Distillers is owned by Jim Beam so you might be able to find the stuff in USA.
My personal preference in whisky is a single malt. In my opinion, malt barley is the best grain for making a whisky and the Scots (particularly along the River Spey) have the fermentation, distillation, and aging process down perfectly.
Umm......how do you tell that whisky is one of my great interests?

I didn't know that anybody still drank Whiskey. All I ever hear in the clubs is tequila.

I DON'T consume alcohol! It is NOT needed by me to relax & have fun. Nor is it needed for FALSE intoxicated courage.

@Farmerart-I appreciate your words of wisdom. I wasn't sure which spelling to use. I really enjoy the Pappy Van Winkle from Buffalo Trace. I have family members whose job hq are based out of Lexington, KY so I've been able to try different Bourbons. The tour at Woodford Reserve is my favorite tour, so far.

I do NOT drink others. Only THESE are enjoyed by me. If your preferences differ, I DISAPPROVE and consider myself SUPERIOR.

I prefer scotch, though I don't mind Jack or Johnnie Walker.

Kentucky bourbons...can't get enough of them. Some of the more memorable are Four Roses, Pappy Van Winkle, and Woodford Reserve. These are probably the only ones I'd order for bottle service. If the ladies can't keep up, they might not be worth the time.

I like anything girlie with lots of fruit and barely any alcohol at all. And it must of course have an umbrella and in a fancy glass. I know that all of that will impress my mom who is the love of my life!

During a reception at Calumet Farms after a business seminar in Lexington, KY, I asked the bartender for Jack Daniels and ginger ale. He refused to serve me. As we were the only two Black people in the room, I told him that it was ironic that he would do this to me. He laughed and said it had nothing to do with race, but location. "You have ordered a Tennesse whiskey. We are in Kentucky." I then ordered Maker's Mark and ginger ale. He said, "It will be a pleasure to serve you."
Both are my faves.

I guess all my years of guzzling Mountain Dew and eating Taco Bell at the drive-thru have caused me to develop an immature, unsophisticated palate. I rarely drink hard liquor, but when I do, I actually like Canadian swill - Canadian Mist being my favorite. And I find JD absolutely disgusting.

Motor, your refinement, good manners and fine taste in all other areas, including women, excuses your low life taste in liquor.

If you don't drink, as per the OP's question your opinion was specifically not asked for. So once again Alucard provides overwhelming evidence of what a sad pathetic piece of shit loser he is.
I'll wait for the pm now.

When I was young and stupid, as opposed to being old and stupid now, I was a fan of JD and other such swill. Oddly enough, it was in the Marine Corps that I acquired a taste for good single malt Scotch and Irish Whisky. JW Green ain't bad either.. Since moving to Kentucky, certain bourbons have gained my favor as well. Four Roses is among the best.
