Barrel aged rum > bourbon. Bourbon (all whiskey) is too damn trendy, I drink what I actually enjoy.
I was at the Flor de Cana factory last weekend!! I can get single state 24 year old rum right down the street.

And I would still love to pay you to ship me a bottle or 3! I can only find 4/7/12 year here.

18 is the cheap stuff here!! Only $30 or so. They sell it on every corner.
-
Sorry, 12 is the cheap. 18 is still $40.

@MattSpeller Canadian whiskey is pretty damn good, tho.

Unreal, we have completely different tastes - I love my country but it makes some horrid coconut-ty tasting swill and labels it as whiskey. One of my life long dreams is to setup a distillery here and produce some right proper peat-y smokey scotch.

@coliver It's on my bucket list to visit

Scotch tastes like burnt mud... there, I said it. I'll take the rotting corn, sour-mashiness of bourbon over burnt mud. That being said, I do have a bottle of Bulleit Rye at home rt now...
Which Canadian whiskey tastes like coconut??? And @MattSpeller do they still make Breton's Hand and Seal whiskey? That's the finest Canadian booze I ever tasted.

I suppose that leaves more for me! I enjoy Bullet when looking for a cheaper alternative to scotch for mixing.

The worst offender by far is Crown Royal (and it's many copies).
I've enjoyed Collingwood but they want a premium for it that IMHO it does not deserve.

I'll have to look for it! Never heard of such a beast.

Collinwood is the one I always get for Canadian Whiskey.
-
@MattSpeller Scotch is where it is at. I love the floral highland scotch's!
-
@brianlittlejohn Aye, the highlands make some fine ones but I'll take a right proper filthy smokey peaty Islay any day.
-
@brianlittlejohn I think the highland ones just lack the proper quantity of suffering that the ones on the islands experienced in spades.
-
@MattSpeller What are some of your favorite Islay scotch's?
-
@brianlittlejohn #1 http://www.laphroaig.com/qc/index.htm
Lagavulin makes some fine ones as well, but quarter cask is far superior.

Mine too. I have a bottle back home.

@MattSpeller @scottalanmiller I will have to make that my next purchase.
