People put that **** away in a day or 2. I'd probably finish it off in 2.

Fred probably drunk moonshine before meeting Mrs. Fred.

Believe me when I say; if you're going to sip, by all means, explore all your options before spending bug money on a bottle you expect to keep around for more than a weekend.

But if you plan on being a regular scotch drinker, go with Dewar's.

I had Cutty Sark one time which was pretty smooth

Believe me when I say; if you're going to sip, by all means, explore all your options before spending bug money on a bottle you expect to keep around for more than a weekend.

But if you plan on being a regular scotch drinker, go with Dewar's.

A regular scotch drinker should not be finishing a bottle in less than two weeks and if you have multiple options, a bottle could last you a month. If you are finishing a bottle in two days, its pretty clear what your goals are when drinking and you shouldn't be drinking scotch. You can get drunk a lot quicker and a lot cheaper many different ways.

To me a "regular" scotch drinker is someone who has four to seven drams a week. That's about a bottle every two weeks to a month. At that pace, no reason to spend a few extra dollars on a more quality spirit.

Dewars White cost 24 dollars in PA. There are plenty of single malts that you can get in the 30-40 dollar range that offer a more flavorful experience.

I had Cutty Sark one time which was pretty smooth

If you enjoyed Cutty Sark and are on a budget, you will likely enjoy Glenlivet 12. Similar Speyside tasting profile that is nice and you can get it for 35-38 dollars. Actually, if you go up to the counters at some W&S stores, they have 50ml bottles for 3 dollars that you can try out.

Moose takes his scotch seriously, damn.

Not even my favorite spirit

I usually only have 2-3 straight drinks a week, a cocktail or two, and a beer. But I demand those drinks to be quality! I also spent some money on pretty bad spirits and thought I'd lend my advice so that similar mistakes aren't made.

Don't get me wrong, if you want a Scotch and Soda, Dewars would be my go to over JW Red. They all have their places.

[TheRuckus]

I hardly drink at all anymore, and it's almost exclusively beer these days. But I do still appreciate a quality brew.

Nice. I visited Yards Brewery two weeks ago, I enjoy a lot of their brews.

It's called having to pay with your own money. I wish I could drink cocktails all the time, but I'd be ruined. I see myself forced to go beer and maybe one Saturday night a month go with Cocktails

Oh do I miss the ol' college days when my Pell Grant paid for my Wednesday-Thursday and Weekends drinking.

[CityofTreez]

Yeah, I give Moose credit for being a connoiseur of Scotch.

It's pretty strong, and it can be very dry.
It's definitely a domestic alcohol where you barely notice people order scotch/bourbon at bars, watering holes. Actually, I think I've never ordered Scotch at the bar thinking about it. I always find myself pounding scotch before going out. Unless Jameson is a scotch Irish whisky cause I primarily drink Jameson on weekends.

Nah, I just lost the desire to drink a lot after a while. Other drugs are more interesting.
