WT Rye is gone? Man what a sincere bummer. I still have one unopened bottle I got in I think '07, but now I don't want to drink it.

I'm a big fan of Karlsson's vodka. It's a potato vodka and has a very interesting nose and taste, I would definitely recommend it to people that view all vodka's as tasteless and having no character.
Saw a bottle a couple days ago at the local ABC store. Check Green's on Buford Hwy. Those guys have everything.

Laphroaig 18 yr and Templeton Rye.
Pretty sure Tower had some, too, when I was in town several weeks ago. I was in to buy the last four bottles on the shelf of Rittenhouse.
I don't drink, but when I did:
Cognac: Remy Martin preferred over Chivas
Vodka: Gray Goose & Blevediere are both smooth, but for the money Smirnopf.
Scotch wiskey: Black label (Blue label costs too much & red label is too harsh)
Rum: Bacardi (clear)
Gin: I don't like gin
Beer: Heinekin

Bluecoat, Bombay Sapphire, or Hendricks when I'm drinking gin (nice variety of infusions).
Redbreast or Bushmills 10 when I'm drinking Irish Whiskey.

Top shelf? I only have one shelf, so all my booze goes on it. My Lagavulen sits right next to HP 12 and Dewers White label.
I tend to not drink very often lately, but when I do get to have a whole weekend to myself I don't spare any expense.
Grand Marnier is one of my favorite drinks, neat. The Louis Alexandre is a bit less sweet and a nice middle ground between the Cordon Rouge and the overpriced centennials and sadly not readily available in the US.
I hated gin until a bartender who knew his business gave me a shot of Hendricks, now I actually prefer that for martinis.
Generally I don't like whiskey, but Crown Royal's better offerings are not bad.

Well, my good friend.....we will have to get together and toast an Oban 14. One of my favorites. Or perhaps I can interest you in a Bowmore 12.
I'm frugal so I don't buy top shelf often.
But I love: Glenlivet 12 year, Stoli, Tanqueray

Ketel One, Dry Fly, Grey Goose. Yes, I like good, smooth vodka. It has taste. It taste like bitterness and craziness. It tastes like something is about to happen. BTW Im the most chill guy youll ever meet and am not a mean drunk... but vodka is where I go. I really want to try a $100+ bottle of Cognac, but dont know what to get. Does anyone have advice? Pms would be appreciated. Thank you.
ardbeg, laphroaig quarter cask (love that dirt/earthy taste) and evan williams single barrel or jack daniels single barrel. jd sb over crushed ice in summer.
Sipping Bourbon: Blanton's or Four Roses Small Batch
Sipping Tequila: Clase Azul Reposado or Partida Anejo
Gin & Tonics: BlueCoat or Hendrick's
