That's funny because I had written scotch and then replaced it with bourbon. I do think the best scotches are better than the best bourbons, but ultimately I think that I drink more bourbon than scotch.That's about as close to my list as it gets. Personal favorites are definitely wine and IPA's. Prefer scotch over bourbon, though both are great, particularly in cooler months. Summer I will drink more gin or tequila cocktails. Wine(specifically Cab and Tuscan) and beer are never out of season.

I too enjoy IPAs as well as German or Czech style Pilseners and the occasional German Weisbier.
Once every month or so a Coke or, especially in the summer, a Root Beer (Sprecher's Root Beer is as good as it gets.)
Cold weather, either whiskey or scotch; but only at the end of the day for some reason.
My FIL is about to turn 96, but in his younger days (really not that much younger) he made the most incredible martinis which I would partake in when visiting them in Florida. They were a bit too smooth, though. He'd make them in a pitcher and top off your glass whether you were empty or not; it wasn't until you stood up (or tried to) that you realized just how deadly they were. I suspect it's been at least five years since I had one.
My beer choices vary with the season. Go to is always an IPA. But I like a bunch of porters in the winter. White Belgians in the fall. Sours in the summer.
Wine is almost always a cab or Bordeaux. I like my reds to be old world. Like I am chewing on a cigar, or an old leather horse saddle that has been sitting untouched in a barn for several decades.
I have tried my whole life to like scotch. I can drink them and appreciate them. But I wouldnt say I enjoy them. But I have fallen in love with bourbons. Woodford Reserve and Angel's Envy are my current favorites.
I have always loved rums. It's a very undervalued market. Papa's Pilar, Zacapa... blows the doors off of any scotch.
And unlike @AlexDaGator, I dont put pussy ass cherries in my bourbon. Just an ice cube or two.
I recommend you try a bottle of this:I have tried my whole life to like scotch. I can drink them and appreciate them. But I wouldnt say I enjoy them. But I have fallen in love with bourbons. Woodford Reserve and Angel's Envy are my current favorites.
I recommend you try a bottle of this:
Macallan Fine Oak 15 Yr Triple Csk
It's finished in bourbon barrels which adds a hint of sweetness.
Oh. And for the whisky and bourbon lovers in here..... buy these glasses. It does zero for changing the flavor. But there are no words to describe how they'll change the appearance and smell of your spirit. Prepare to be blown away.

Dont biitch about the price @AlexDaGator
Do you have ANY IDEA how many of these I can buy for $50???
And you don't have to wash them afterwards. Straight into the ocean. God's garbage disposal.

Honestly, if there's still a residue, and it's good enough Scotch or Bourbon, I bet the turtles are actually somewhat appreciative.
