I’m a Scotch man. I like Aberfeldy 18, Balvenie single cask, and Kilchoman for my top 3.

I also love a Dubonnet Manhattan or a hazy IPA. Red over white wine, IMO

    Recently I’ve been all about the “Boulevardier.” It’s an adaptation of a Negroni. My preferred blend: Campari, Carpano Antiqua sweet vermouth, Rebel Bourbon and a splash of club soda over ice. A couple cherries or an orange twist if I’m feeling fancy.

    Brandy is my go-to, I regularly have Paul Mason Brandy at home, but am open to trying others! Also a big fan of mead, especially homemade ones

    Jeppsons Malort with an absinthe chaser.

    I like my taste buds how I like my wife. I DON’T HAVE A WIFE.

    Depends on the season. Hazy during Spring and Fall. Sours, pilsner and lager during Summer. IPA all year round.

    Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.

    I like too many for a concise list.

    I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo

    Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality

    Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way

    For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.

    I’m not very sophisticated, so I generally go for a beer. I like Modelo, Corona, Blue Moon, or Spotted Cow (WI Regional). Some of the Leinkugel’s seasonals are pretty good, for a while I was obsessed with their Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. Our local brewery/restaurant makes a milk stout that I get pretty much anytime we eat there.

    Nothing like a good Old-Fashioned. One of the secrets is to singe the orange peel after it’s expressed over the glass before dropping in as a garnish and stirring - it adds a lovely smoky note to the drink.

    Gin is my favourite spirit. Malfy con limone is probably my favourite. My favourite cocktail is an espresso martini though. I will always judge a place by how good their espresso martini is
