Alcohol Snobbery

Be an alcohol snob! What's your favorite elitist intoxicant..

I've also been partial to a Black Label Australian Shiraz myself.. a Rosemount perhaps..

Gentleman Jack's Single Barrel Tennesse Sipping Whiskey

or

Booker's Burbon

I'm partail to Chivas Regel 12year scotch

Knobb Creek or Basil Hayden for me thank you very much!

Not just " rum & coke" oh no . . . it has to be Meyers & coke . regular rum will just not do

knob creek or
crown royal whiskey

the only wine i can drink anymore is and older (early 90's) Italian barolo. nothing else compares.

however if i'm borke or i ran out of the above mentioned liquors above i would easily settle for a twelve pack of ice cold coors light. nothing like weak american lager.

Islay single malts as a whole ;-). Specially laphroigs, older Bowmores and Lagavulin.

A few speyside malts add variety when I feel like it for diversity.

Oh, and nothing beats Zubrowka to get wasted, except maybe cask strength laphroig.

i 110% agree with this statement.

knobb on the rocks is my drink of choice.

knobb creek is excellent, i also like the hell out of woodford reserve....another good single batch bourbon

mmmm.... Woodford Reserve. Bottle is cool too!

Knobb Creek as well

Beer = Guinness
Liquor = Dalwhinnie Single Malt Scotch

And let us not foget mead, not that cheap ass white wine with honey added, I mean real honest to Maeve fermented honey.

I drive to another state once every couple weeks to buy my alcohol in a super snobby, 'expert'-run shop. Lately I've been really into this single barrel 15 year scotch. When that's not available, Glenlivet 25 year will do. And don't get me started on the bordeaux. I sometimes spend more in a month on bordeaux than I do on my rent.

upside:
blantons
chimay, the most expensive one

mid:
jameson's
no mid-level beer

downside:
rail voddy
PBR

there's a time a place for all of the above.

I generally favour single malt whisky (Balvenie Single Barrel, Laphroig, Ardbeg, etc).
I drink Stella Artois for lager preferrence but also have bottles of the 1995 vintage of both 'Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux' and 'Carruades de Lafite' (the second wines of Chateau Margaux and Chateau Lafite-Rothschild respectively) waiting to mature to near alcoholic perfection in 5(ish) years time.

Pretentious? Moi??

So, WaTed, when are you going to invite me over for dinner?
I'll bring some Krug to get us started, and some Yquem to finish with.
I'm also partial to Dogfish Head Midas Touch if you're talking beer, and Noah's Mill bourbon.

Drink of the gods, brother.

Hell, now I've got myself thinking...
The Peerless bottlings of Bruichladdich (36 yr) and Macallan (35 yr) are pretty reputable, too.

ya'll just like saying "knobb"
(so do I! Meow!)
::scurries away::

Tanqueray Malacca. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

On the beery end of things, I'm partial to Stella Artois, when I can find it. Unfortunately, the name fails the pronunciation test--I can't ask for more if I can't say the name--and so I can't use it to get drunk. Guinness, on the other hand, passes with flying colours.

As for liquor, I'm currently addicted to--don't laugh, now--Bonny Doon Framboise. Give me a heavy chocolate souffle to go with that, and I'll do anything. Listening, ladies?
