Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for drinks, especially if you're into bourbon and rye:

  1. Bourbon: Bourbon has been seeing a surge in popularity, and it's a great time to explore this classic American spirit. Platforms like CaskX even highlight bourbon as a growing asset class, showcasing its craftsmanship and appreciation over time. Smooth bourbon options are always a hit.

  2. Rye Whiskey: While specific rye recommendations aren't mentioned, exploring high-quality rye whiskeys from reputable distilleries is a great idea. Rye tends to have a spicier profile compared to bourbon, making it a unique choice for whiskey enthusiasts.

  3. Other Recommendations:

    • Japanese Whiskey: Known for its smooth and refined taste, Japanese whiskey is a fantastic option if you're looking to branch out.
    • Scotch: If you're transitioning from wine, a sweeter and less complex scotch like Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (finished in ex-port casks) or Arran's single malt (finished in ex-Amarone casks) could be a good start.
    • Craft Beer: Belgian Strong Dark Ale is a standout recommendation for beer lovers.
    • Cider: Basque Cider offers a refreshing and unique alternative to traditional drinks.

For bourbon and rye, sticking to well-known, high-quality brands ensures a great experience. Cheers to exploring new flavors! πŸ₯ƒ

I’ve been dry for a year, as a personal choice, Nov 1, the gates are open.I’ve always been a single malt scotch guy but don’t shy away from the blended scotch whiskies. Here’s my personal list below, others may beg to differ, but that’s fine. 

Speyside Scotch: These are smooth with floral and fruity notes. Personnel recommendations are Glenlivet 15 and 18, Glenfiddich 18 and 15 and of course, The Macallan: 12 (cherry), double cask and 18. 

Highland Scotch: Almost like Speyside, but a little bit more bite. Glenmorangie 18 and 12, Glengoyne Legacy and 15 and Oban 12.

Island Region Scotch: Talisker 10. Smokey hues. 

Campletown Scotch: Don’t care for the region.

 Islay Scotch: favourite region, all are Smokey and peaty with hints of iodine. Enjoy with steaks and cigars. I’d recommend Lagavulin 16 (my fav), 12, distillers edition and 8. Then you have Ardbeg (Wee Beestie, 10 and 15) followed by Laphroaig (10 and 18). 

Now, for blended scotch whiskies it’s Johnnie Walker and Chivas. For JW, Blue Label, 18, Green, Gold and Double Black, yes in that order, but don’t sleep on Red, it mixes well. For Chivas, Royal Salute 21, 18 and 12. I swear the RS21 is GOATED and better than anything JW sells on the regular on the shelves.

Enjoy these after a a well accomplished work week and/or with friends. Remember drinking and driving is for scum, and alcohol shouldn’t be a depressant for issues that can be solved by talking to those who truly love you and want you happy and well.
