Oh, I think I lost you... the point was precisely "scotch, tequila and cognac are the ONLY ones to be dranl straight in my taste" 😉
The rest are to be mixed.
Originally posted by Moldy Crowhere here to the good stuff. one of the worst realizations of my life was that the $50 bottle of tequila is worth it. I'd always thought of tequila as a kindof diesel, but the good stuff is so smoooth...oh so smoooth.
The only times I fall back to mixers are when I'm at a social gathering with a crappy bar(like a wedding). Then I still kep it minimal; Seven-up and whiskey, cheapo bourbon and sour. But I'd almost rather drink cheap beer than cheap liquor in a mixer. I can drink cheap rum, paint thinner vodka, and gin a proper Englishman wouldn't wash his dog with. But I ...[text shortened]... can't go back. I don't even want the ice cube defiling my single malt 12 year old scotch!
I was always under the impression if someone wanted to stop drinking you try drinking scotch whiskey because I would rather stop drinking rather than have to swallow that gawld awful poison. Now Tequila my favorite next to Tennessee sour mash Bourbon whiskey (Jack Daniels)is another story. Either one will make you get up and dance on the chess board. Just be careful not to trip. 😕

Edit: I wonder what I should be beaten with. On second thought, I don't think I want to know.
Originally posted by Darth SpongeTechnically you are correct. Tequila is a type of mescal. Worms are not allowed in production of tequila only in some brands of Mescal unless you dig one up and drop it in. Which I don't, but I didn't think anyone cared enough to spoil my joke. 😛 But just because you did I am going to give everyone a recipe guaranteed to make them smash their scotch bottles into the fireplace preferably full.😛
there's no worm in tequila... mezcal has the worm. and mezcal is less refined than diesel. enjoy with lime.

Originally posted by WulebgrSo, what's a good bourbon or scotch to try? I drink vodka or wine, usually. I won't drink Jack Daniel's. One incident back in high school has left me scarred; I can't even smell it w/o my mouth watering in preparation for a good hurl.
Bourbon, as Scotch, should not be mixed. Some allow an ice cube or two, but the better the quality (both the drink and the drinker), the less ice.
