so all that fuss leaves only a reductive version of

Your favourite type of whiskey (or whisky, if you prefer)

(scotch)

Well, no. This one included beer, cocktails, wine and other hard spirits.

And whiskey STILL won out. Pretty impressive, imo.

The Lagavulin on my drink shelf says Scotch.

This means that you need to drink more of both.

Scotch is the one though...

this is the correct final. whiskey is my best friend. feelin the mom or dad at 5 sentiment above. what really tears me now is that i can't stand to drink cheap scotch, but find cheap(er) bourbon much more enjoyable. given a vast fortune it would be scotch easily. given my actual fortune it's more complicated. i think it's still scotch

― k¸ (darraghmac), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 09:39 (fifteen years ago)

scotch easy. that being said, hanging out a couple of friends with a bottle of jim beam is usually a good unpretentious way to spend an evening

― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 10:39 (fifteen years ago)

I love both. Abbott OTM.

― monster_xero, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:22 (fifteen years ago)

A bump for bourbon's sake.

― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:23 (fifteen years ago)

cheap bourbon > cheap scotch

good scotch >>>>>> anything else in life

― jeff, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:41 (fifteen years ago)

SCOTCH

― a cankle of rads (Gukbe), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:44 (fifteen years ago)

although there is nothing quite like going to a bar and asking for a 'bourbon' and the bartender saying 'which kind?' and then replying to that with 'i'm not sure, what do you recommend?' and the bartender saying 'Jack Daniels?' and then getting to smugly retort, 'uuh, that's not a bourbon. that's a sour mash.'

― a cankle of rads (Gukbe), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:46 (fifteen years ago)

but still Scotch.

― a cankle of rads (Gukbe), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:46 (fifteen years ago)

The only difference between Jack Daniels and other Tennessee whiskey, and bourbon (whiskey) is that Tennessee whiskey is filtered through charcoal.

Several brands of both bourbon and Tennessee whiskey start with a sour mash, which is a technique to add consistency to flavor of the whiskey over many batches, and also to limit the growth of bacteria.

― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:58 (fifteen years ago)

I would not lie about such things.

― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 22:59 (fifteen years ago)

And the winner is Scotch!

Congratulations to all. Lets get pissed!

― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 23:00 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

and yet it's still not a bourbon, so my bar-based pedantry stands xpost

― a cankle of rads (Gukbe), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 23:06 (fifteen years ago)

justice was done! good job, Scotland.

― a cankle of rads (Gukbe), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 23:06 (fifteen years ago)

No, you're right. But just wrong about WHY you're right.

Bourbon will have its day. And most likely the next day, too.

― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 23:10 (fifteen years ago)

there really is only winners in this poll.
