To date, as a result of quality and price, mostly price, my two favorites are both Scotch. Glenlivet 12 year single malt is my current go to and I am also fond of Teachers Highland Cream blended. I once had some Jim Beam Black (I think) which was nice.
I drink these neat.

I'm a single malt fan. Not sure I have a single favourite, but it would probably be something like Jura or an Islay single malt like Bowmore. I have a bottle of Loch Lomond at home, which I've never tried but we brought back from holiday this year. I'm looking forward to testing it at Christmas. I'm not a massive fan of blended whiskey, but Famous Grouse and their variant Black Grouse are reasonable. I can't bear Bells or Teachers. Outside of Scotch, I'd have to say that my favourite spirits are Himbeergheist (like a Schnapps made from raspberries) and a good țuică (Romanian spirit made from plums). James |

James I'm a fairly newcomer to Scotch, which is why I started on a couple blended versions. I'm sure as my tastes develop I will find new single malts I enjoy. Glenlivet seems to be a popular standard among many fans of Scotch. Laphroaig is not one I can drink at this time, I shy away from Islay Scotch for the time being. I'll have to look into the others you mentioned. FG isn't bad. |

I'm becoming a Scotch and Bourbon guy, myself. So far, my favorite single malt scotch is Highland Park 12. I like Glenlivet, too. But I usually drink Black Grouse or Famous Grouse because they taste great and are affordable. I'm still too weak for drinking 'em neat, so usually add a couple of ice cubes. As for Bourbons, I really enjoy Maker's Mark. In moderation, of course.  |

Evan Williams Black Label. The Black is surprisingly good for how inexpensive it is. I always keep it around. If I have a little extra cash though, I reach for the Woodford Reserve. I guess its not too expensive, but both of those satisfy me just fine, so I dont see the need to spend even more on something super fancy. For every other type of spirit, I just get whats cheapest*** as I am probably mixing it anyways. Ive been known to have some bourbon neat, then turn around and have a cosmo with the wife. Dont judge...  *** Unless its tequila. Then I try to get something a little nicer so I dont die. |

Ouiske (Sotch, whisky)--Laphroaig, Caol Ila, JW Black Label (will crack open the Double Black after Christmas)
In the cocktail world, which I rarely visit, I like rusty nails (best with Chivas and Drambouie) and this one other cocktail which was unique--featuring lemon and cask-strength Laphroaig.
Cognac and brandy: Courvoisier, Georgian brandy, (Haven't tried Armenian yet)
B&B: Benedictine and Brandy (Cognac). Benedictine is pretty sweet on its own, but it's a distillation of herbs blended with brandy. Great on the rocks after a difficult day.
Grappa--a local variety from a vineyard I visited.
Ouzo, when I feel like it.
Bourbon, when nothing else is available.

Aberlour A'bunadh, Lagavulin, and Scapa are my favorite Scotches. All three are radically different from each other.
For Burbon, Bookers is my favorite with Maker's Mark and Bulliet, with the latter being what I probably drink the most.
Martell Cordon Bleu is my favorite Cognac

I would like to try some different scotches, but at the considerable cost of some I have seen, I don't see it happening anytime soon. I have a hard enough time paying $35 for a bottle. At $80 plus, it can stay on the shelf.

Drambuie tops the list. Bailey's comes next, together with its non-Gaelic cousin, Brandy Alexander.
The husband is a whisky buff, with Glenlivet and Glenfiddich among his favourites.

Very rarely drink alcohol, but spirit favourites include Bushmills Black Bush, Schnapps and a good vodka, but not at the same time. Certainly had some excellent local distilled spirits in Greece but generally prefer a cup of very weak black tea.
Mixed malts like Teachers and Bells are no good except as a topical antiseptic if you have nothing else to hand. Once gave a sick guinea pig - notoriously difficult to treat when ill - a dose of scotch and garlic, it recovered immediately. The vetinary said it recovered because it was frightened I going to give it a second dose!

I really like bourbon. I recently tried this whiskey, but the price is quite prohibitive to me: http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=32046Straight, of course. And sipping, no shots. |

I agree. My flatmate drinks bourbon with ice. Ice kills everything. |

I drink Irish Cream straight. My Dad's aunt would come back from the grave and kill me if I didn't.

I keep my Bailey's in the fridge (naturally), so it doesn't even need ice. One single cube in my Drambuie is enough to chill it without diluting it.
Husband adds just a splash of cold water to his whisky, claiming it brings out the flavour.

I once drank that out of test tubes. Also vodka mixed with very cheap energy drink tastes surprisingly good. But have you ever mixed your vodka with red wine? |

No. If I can help it I don't drink wine. Did you ever drink vodka with red wine? |
