the Christmas ale is so good, it's like drowning your taste buds in happiness

I know tons of scoth drinkers who think Johnny Blue is not even worth the price by far. They hate that it's a blend and think it's way overrated.

in a lot of cases, it's certainly overpriced, but i'd put it in the upper range of things i've had.

Yeah I work at a liquor store and I've heard that a number of times. Personally I have no idea.

Thanks for showing me up Hollywood! I post a 40 dollar bottle of scotch and you break out 70-80 dollar bottles! You win sir! Definitely with the epic fail part, as Highland Park is easily considered one of the greatest scotch distilleries in the world... Thanks bro!

eh, grandpa could probably still kick my ass, I wont object to his choices. that said, I have had blue label and I thought it was great.

I'm craving some maker's mark right now. I went to a maker's mark event a while back because my friend's dad is an ambassador for mm and it was great.

Giantsfan1080 · 01-13-2010, 09:44 PM

I like MM but try Woodford's one day. They are very good as well.

I'm not a big whiskey/bourbon fan. However, if we want to steer this discussion towards vodka, I can go on and on.

I dont drink large quantities any more, instead I am opting for the quality over quantity approach... especially since I am going to be killing my liver during SXSW

I went searching for the Estate, but the liquor nearby had none and I could get two of the wet-hops harvest for the price of one Estate. I hear good things though.
