Whiskey

I gotta recommend Knob Creek. I got a bottle for free when I used to work for a caterer and have never turned back. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. The flavor is not too strong, but it's still there and enjoyable. The alcohol content is strong as well.

Other than that JD is always acceptable.

What is the alcohol percentage in Knob Creek? I've found that (for my taste) when it gets over 40% (80 proof) that the alcohol starts to overpower the whiskey flavor, and has a slightly coarser finish. A bite, if you will.
As far as bourbon goes, I'm still sticking with Gentleman Jack as my all time favorite. Over rinsed ice, of course.

Knob Creek is 100 proof, but I find the flavor isn't overpowered by the alcohol.

On an unrelated note, I tried Clan Campbell last night for the first time. It's Scottish, but I thought it was pretty gross. It had a really sweet taste, far sweeter than I like my whiskey.

Yup, I can't drink the Canadian stuff - far too sweet. Whiskey's gotta have some tang to it, in my book, and it's also gotta be bourbon.

Mmmmmm. Bourbon.
