Hey, nice one Scrambler, you got it. I didn't think anyone was gonna guess it. Second time you've won off me too...can you read my mind? I'm thinking of a number between 3 and 5, what is it?
Ha ha, good guess, but no. I'm only just beginning to develop a taste for gin. My first experience with hard liquor (in high school) was straight Seagram’s gin. Put me off on that particular spirit for quite a long time. I think Beefeater “Wet” is pretty good, and I just bought a bottle of Tanqueray Rangpur, its drinkable.
van - you a tequila drinker? I find the Don Julio very smooth, but almost without character, especially for an anejo. Have you tried Herradura, Tres Generaciones, or El Tesoro? Those are great, especially the Herradura. I think I'll have some of that tomorrow.
I don't like the Tres that much. It doesn't have the right flavors for me. Never had the other two. I actually like the Blanco tequila better. When I drank a lot I would mix it with Pepsi w/Lime. That really brings out the sweet flavors of the Agave plants.
If you don't like the Tres, you probably wouldn't care for the Herradura .. similar flavor profile, but the Herradura is just a little bolder. I drink good liquor neat, and am not nearly mature enough to take a blanco that way. When I'm mixing, I usually go for high-quality cheap stuff (my mixing-tequila of choice is actually the ultra-cheesy looking El Toro Triple Distilled -- with the sombrero cap!)

Don't worry, people always look at me weird for mixing Tequila. I think that I am revolutionary, someone has to start mixing somewhere.
Nope. My favorite is Rebel Yell, but its hard to find. My favorite mainstream bourbon is Knob Creek. Since its pricey most places, I usually order Jim Beam Black if I'm out. I'd have accepted any of these for the bonus. Either way, there will be a nice package headed your way.

Never would have guessed Rebel Yell, Wikipedia gets the assist on this one with the IBA
drink list. Only other would have been Old Fashion, and you just didn't seen the type. Good question . Now I have to get one in here.
When I went on a cruise to Mexico last year, I had my first sampling of a quality tequila and I was shocked at how different it is from the garbage Cuervo gold or that other mixto crap. This went down smooth as silk and I really liked the flavor. I believe the one I had was a Reposado, though I cannot recall the brand.
