Good Quality Liquors

[brownsfan019 17]

I've never been into hard liquor, but just curious what are some good quality liquors of choice among traders?

 

Not sure where this came from, guess I've watched too much Boston Legal where Denny and Alan sit on their high rise porch drinking some quality liquor. I wouldn't mind a drink or two after some days of trading, but don't want to buy junk.

 

Give me some ideas... cost not a consideration, I'd much prefer a quality drink over cheapness.

After a hard day's trading, nothing better to kick back with than a flask of MD 20/20!

LOL

[brownsfan019 17]

The days of 20/20. A really rough day could call for some 151... :p

Forty Creek Whiskey is by far the best liquor I have ever had.

I'm a cocktail man after a hard day's work. But occasionally, I'd have a nice small shot of bourbon, no ice, Southern Comfort or Four Roses (smooth and lightly sweet... good stuff). Of course there are some nice real whiskey, either scottish or irish, depending your inclination. My next objective is to try the Johnnie Walker Blue Label, I heard it ain't cheap (I believe the bar down in Spain charges 85 euro a shot). That would be a treat when a nice day of record-breaking win for me (ha ha ha).

Johnny Walker is always good. I mostly drink Chivas Regal and Crown Royal.

I like beer also.

You guys should try an after meal drink called "crema de limoncello", lemon cream liquor, served ice cold. Excellent way to digest your meal. Italian specialty shop should have them.

[Nick1984 10]

Torero yea I've had that its really nice. Its a good summery drink. Unfortunately these types of drinks don't look good in a public place here where they are seen as "girly" drinks, so us blokes have to put up with beer and hard liquor such as whisky, vodka, and bourbon.

 

One drink that I love if you really need a pick me up in the wee hours of the morning is a jager bomb where you take a shot of jagermeister and mix it in with a red bull. Two or three of those will keep you rockin on till the sun comes up.

I hear ya, Nick. I'm live in the southern midwest of the USA. Its the same.

[brownsfan019 17]

Nick - been there, done that. Looking to 'move up' the alcohol consumption chain if you will. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing like a cold, fresh draft Bud Light in a chilled glass at the right time. Gone are the times of massive beer and jager bond consumption.

 

Cheers! :beer:

Well in terms of higher class liquor, I like Chivas Regal Scotch whiskey. Its not bad. Also Glenfiddich is good if you like whiskey. I prefer whiskey over bourbon cause bourbon is too sweet.

 

For the clear stuff, Finlandia vodka is good its got a sharper and not so powerfeull taste like a Smirnoff does. Very nice when it's cold so perfect for a martini mixer.

 

For you rummies Baccardi 351 will make you see another dimension after a few hits its some potent stuff.

Wray & Nephew overproof white rum from Jamaica (the stuff they keep under the table at the island bars) is highly prized for its "medicinal" qualities.

[torero 10]

May we know what those qualities are?

 

I agree with Brown, after a while, they start to taste stale. There bunches of wines and liquors to be tried and enjoyed. Life too short to stick to beers imo. Of course, I heard Belgium has over 200 brands of beer, I've only tried 30-40, so working on that to-do list too.:p

[Nick1984 10]

Hoegarden is a fantastic white beer. White being unfiltered. Perfect in summer. We have a Belgian style Beer Garden here where I live and its great in summer.

 

Ohhh for real upper class liquor theres always Hennessy cognac. Its a distilled wine thats slightly sweet to the palate. Its pretty darn expensive though and when you're paying through the nose for it it makes sense to put it in a brandy snifter and inhale some of it back before swishing it around in the mouth and swallowing it down.

 

Man I should be a spokesperson on alcohol.

[BlowFish 10]

I love Boston Legal too. I'd wager they are guzzling a decent Cognac it looks too dark for a single malt scotch. I'm off to Cognac for a blues festival shortly I guess between wine and beer a few cognacs will be sunk.

Irish Whiskey - smooth! : Jameson or JD Powers

Rum - no coke needed, Nicaraguan award winner: Flor de Cana

Beer: Belgian : Belhaven!

 

Canadians say their beer is so much better than elsewhere, not a fact in my opinion. Best microbrew comes from Norcal and Oregon..
