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.
