Vic, Lagavulin is my #1 single malt (Scotch Whisky). If you like that, try Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Ardbeg. They're all from Isla region of Scotland, and are all known for their smokey/peaty taste! Anyway, I only drink good single malts (no Glenlivet or Glenfiddich thank you), and not much else as far as liquor is concerned. Blended Scotch (Jonnie Walker, Chevis, Dewars, etc., aren't that good). Bo, I'll bet if you buy a good bottle of single malt (I'd recommend the Glenmorangie Port Wood), you'll change your tune. If anyone is ever in Heathrow, hit up the World of Whisky store in the international gates. You get stuff there that you can't buy out of the UK. Plus, they're all liter bottles and not 750 ml. Also, the DFS store there have single malt tasting stations. Yes, you can get loaded for free off the BEST stuff before your flight. Another interesting fact: if it is from Scotland (or Ireland), it is "WHISKY." If it is Bourbon or Sour Mash from America, it is "WHISKEY" with an "e." Check your bottles!

It's not like I really enjoy the taste but for some reason I am not into Vodka anymore. There is a saying that Tekillya makes your clothes come off...this saying finally rung true for me this summer. This is why I haven't really drank since. It's always the last shot that kicks you in the ass. Lesson learned. I didn't see Everclear on your list. What's up with that.

I wasn't even a fan of that Remy. I'll stick to my Sierra Nevada, thanks. Hard liquor has always been overrated, save for the Crown. I wasn’t even a fan of that Remy.

It's like champagne but in the long run is cheaper. You will thank me. Convince your ladyfriends to drink Sapphire. It’s like champagne but in the long run is cheaper.
