@earl-of-trumps saidI never cared for LaBatts
Nothing wrong with Labatt's Blue
For some reason it always gave me a headache.
@great-big-stees saidYou're right about Scotch
The only really “good” whiskey is single malt from Scotland.👍🥃
When I did drink whiskey I found I liked a good straight rye the best
Bulliet Rye was good
Old Crow was good. Bourbon Makers Mark was great, Evan William's was okay, a bit minty, but Ancient Age was terribly sweet and syrupy, awful stuff.

For a while I drank cider. One guy I knew made his own hard cider. It was really good. During the winter months he made true apple Jack. Everything available in stores isn't true apple Jack. They sell apple Brandy etc. You see true apple Jack is distilled by freezing cider, then thawing, the alcohol thaws first, they save the early drain, then repeat the process a few times
He ended up with 40 proof end product
@gambrel saidDang, a quart of that and you would know you had had a drink.

@the-gravedigger saidI meant 40%

I should have said 80 proof
@gambrel saidThat method is preserving some Aromas better than the ordinary distillation process.

(Distill a cider and you get roughly the same as if you distill potatoes (wodka).

If you distill a cider, you get Calvados! Which is an acquired taste, maybe, but which definitely has a lot more individual character than any vodka.
Vodka is water and ethanol, and if you're lucky, nothing else. (If you're unlucky, methanol, fusel oils, and/or benzenoids play a large part in destroying your brain and liver.) Calvados, by contrast - and other fruit brandys - contain the flavours of the underlying brew. Calvados tastes of apple, slivovic does taste of plums - and if bad, of the aforementioned fusels, but it doesn't have to, and at any rate, does taste of more - and then there's Poire, Kirsch, whatever. All of them are miles ahead of mere vodka.
@shallow-blue saidWodka is a booze hounds drink. A pal of mine gets through a bottle in a night when he is not working the next day. The only time I drink it is when I go into town with him.

The ethanol quickly gets to work on the frontal lobes.
@the-gravedigger saidLOL@ t-g....Would Wodka be the same a Vodka? 😉
