Bourbon vs Irish Whiskey vs Scotch

Drink scotch whiskey
All night long

Yamazaki > Scotch > Irish >>> Bourbon

But the fields are too broad to really order them properly, and Scotch itself covers a multitude from nectar to ashtray death, and context is all, like Jameson's is the perfect Guinness partner

Ffs lads it's 7 in the morning it's a bit early for having an "mmmmmm...whiskey" moment

Canadian whiskey = brown vodka

I think it was/is popular as it mixes pretty transparent.

Hard to beat the Crown Royal bag as packaging too.

Bourbon plz

Canadian whiskey = I remember when Mad Men was on and they included a datum that Canadian was seen, at the period, as being “the superior whiskey”. I don’t know booze history well enough to know if that was true. Generic Canadian is best for mixed drinks, and a bottle of Alberta Premium is just as nice a quotidian sip choice as a bottle of generic Irish imo— much cheaper, too. I wouldn’t ever vote for Canadian over any of these other choices— except Japanese, which has always tasted to me like a mistake. Granted, I’ve only tasted the “available” Suntory-owned liquids but the “with added paint thinner” quality does not appeal.

I don’t drink whiskey any more but my favourite experiences with it were fancy Scotch-based cocktails (I stan the Laphroaig additive in a Pencillin) and having flights in Kentucky at certain rye and bourbon specialty joints. Voting for bourbon

I'd been focused almost exclusively on rums for the past couple of years but got a bottle of Green Spot in December and absolutely love it on a big rock, so voted Irish.

The only time that Canadian whiskey deserved to be viewed as "the superior whiskey" was during Prohibition, when the major point of comparison was bootleg rotgut whiskey.

I went from Irish (for years), Japanese, and now Scotch. Maybe it's because Scotch just seems like such a huge category with so much to explore, but it's hard to imagine going back to the others regularly. I've never liked bourbon and prefer rye if drinking American.

I’m not a whiskey drinker but I like a good old fashioned every once in a while, so bourbon.
