You mind showing us the data?
So all whiskey drinkers have been evaluated and most are alcoholics? Seems a tad convenient to me.
Limoncello takes me back to Italy.
Better be quiet or someone will think my one after dinner limoncello last year makes me a lush
Bulleit rye
If you like limoncello take a stab at making your own its quite simple, requires few ingredients and is infinitely better than the commercial stuff. I tried it once and have been making it ever since.
Crown Royal is smooth and makes for a good sipping whisky. They now have several flavors, but original is my favorite. My daughter gave me some Hibiki Japanese whisky I really like. I don't mix anything with my whisky, including ice or water.
A friend recently turned me on to various Japanese whiskeys. The have a different flavor profile from the American whiskey I was more familiar with, but then, I suppose Canadian and Irish whiskey is the same way. I very much encourage someone who is adventuring with whiskey to try some Japanese pours. Like you, I really enjoy them.
Islay is my region of choice.
Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Bruichladdich distilleries are at the very top of my list.
It's a large percentage but not all. About 20% of people do 90% of the drinking out there. I found it hard to believe, but one guy who used to be a heavy drinker told me he'd drink an entire bottle of rum and coke every night. I think at one point he had cut down to 1/4 or 1/2 a bottle. But at 17 drinks a bottle, that adds up to a lot per week. I think the cut off is more than 15 drinks a week makes you an alcoholic by definition.

It's how much you drink a week, not much much you have on hand.
Agreed. But some hold their liquor better than others. And it depends on who is responding on this thread and their “standards “ that they want to force on you
Well I suppose you could argue what the right number is, but if you look it up, the consensus seems to be more than 15 drinks a week for a man and more than 8 for a woman. That number has probably gone down over the years as people used to drink a lot more in the past and not be considered one.
My favorites...although have not been able to find Eagle Rare in over a year, recently have had a hard time finding Buffalo Trace as well...but price has gone up from $29 to $35 a fifth! Heard overseas demand has spiked and they have chose to supply that market ???
Ancient Age is one of those that is **** good.....kind of like the SuperTech of Burbon! hahaha
Just when you thought you had the rules down pat...
There are a number of other companies that do this, too.
