I was in a store browsing bourbon when a guy filled a shopping cart with several bottles of Johnny Walker Black.

So I asked if it was all for him.
“Yes, its all I drink any more... I live way out, so I am stocking up... these bottles should last me a few months. I think I may enjoy it too much, but I am old, and I can’t imagine a better retirement plan.”
Jefferson’s has a number of expressions under the Ocean and standard versions. They are well looking out for if you don’t mind paying for them!Never tasted any of those but that Jefferson's... That colour, OMG!

Not to put down Johnnie Walker, but once you try some Islay whiskies it’s hard to go back to blended. Good choices are Ardbeg 10 YO, Lagavulin 16 YO and Talisker 10 YO.I'll give this a try, thanks, love the aroma and flavour of Double Black Johnny...I have the Platinum Johnny, about a half bottle left, its so freaking smooth at room temperature, I also drink Johnny straight and at room temp...

Never had the platinum one. Im gonna check out the price but i have a feeling that it is too expensive for my pocket.I'll give this a try, thanks, love the aroma and flavour of Double Black Johnny...I have the Platinum Johnny, about a half bottle left, its so freaking smooth at room temperature, I also drink Johnny straight and at room temp...

I recommend that you try bourbons that are higher than 40% ABV. They have a better taste to them. A few drops of water bring out other aromas.
The Pikesville Rye is 55% ABV.
If you enjoy smoky peated whiskies, you need to try Islay whiskies. Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Ardbeg and Bunnahabhain should be on your list. You won’t go back to Double Black.I've not tried Rye Whiskey before but I've wanted to...This Crown Royal Mash is okay, it's got a little bite to it though...I'm drinking it straight at room temperature (about 76 degrees) in a bourbon glass and chasing it with Coke Cola...Its not bad but Johnny Walker Double Black is much better lol...

The Wild Turkey rye makeup is 51% rye, 37% corn and 12% malted barley. So you will be able to taste plenty of corn in the mashbill.Generally I prefer rye, but a good bourbon is hard to beat. One of my favorite ryes is Wild Turkey, which is the first rye I tried if memory serves. I reasoned that I like Wild Turkey bourbon very much, so that was a good place to start. I can still taste some corn in rye now and then, but by law it can be mixed with plenty of bourbon.
Evan Williams is damn good whiskey, and cheap too. Their 1783 is really good, and still a great deal. Like me some Jameson too, now and then. Goes down a little too easy in the middle of March.
