I love both gin and single malt. I'm more likely to go for gin in summer and scotch in winter but that isn't a rule.
I haven't developed a taste for rye yet but I may give it another try. Fell in love the Glenfiddich a few years ago and now have to steer clear. It just goes down too smooth. I'm slowly working my way through the other big names but haven't found a better one for me yet. Laphroaig tastes like really good cough syrup. It's growing on me.
I never thought I'd see it but now both Jim Beam and Jack Daniels have a "with honey" product. Haven't tried either yet but I did try another with honey whiskey, Torys (Suntory). It's another I think I may have to avoid.
I like red wine but lately it gives me a headache.
I had the Jim Beam one a few weeks ago. It's not bad. It's more of liqueur than a liquor IMO. But it does go down easy.

That is far and away my favorite. Sadly so few get it.

Is there anyway I can get sweet rye syrup, thinking about making a liquor (not licker, but the real way of saying it) you know thick, strong, good for evening appetizers.
A little heavier than meade but as powerful as the applejack I made a few months ago.
maybe a Rye Malt extract?

Lock the thread.
We call that the new version of MadDog, Thunderbird or NightTrane.
Bleccccccchhhh!
Might look into that. I am trying to make a more potent version of Southern Comfort.

This is what folks around these parts call whiskey:
It is... not whiskey. It is officially and ambiguously branded as "blended spirits," and it is omnipresent.
And everyone puts ice in their beer. And cocktails are not really a thing. Though I was able to find some Angostura in Chiang Mai.
