One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer...

[KPP]

In light of the upcoming Holiday season, I must admit a multitude of beverage choices are running through my mind...

So, if given the opportunity to pick one (emphasis on "one") of each a Bourbon, Scotch, and a Beer...what do you choose?

(*If one of the three isn't your thing, substitute a Rum in there somewhere)


Bourbon - limited experience here, but George T Stagg is gonna be hard to beat now that i've tried it.
Scotch - Macallan 18
Beer - Pliny the Elder
Rum - Zacapa XO

 

[usmcpurcell]

My choices personally:

Bourbon:Eagle Rare
Beer:Celebrator Bock (for winter)
Rum:Zaya

 

[Herfin' Harg]

Bourbon: Van Winkle Family Reserve 15
Scotch: Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist
Beer: 512 Double Pecan Porter

Bulleit Rye infused with raisons, oranges and cinnamon. Starting infusing it last week.
The Double Pecan Porter sounds amazing btw.

Wow Tough question, especially as it depends on the weather, the food, the cigar etc... But I would go with:
Scotch: Glenmorangie 18yr
German Beer: Reissdorf Kolsch
American Beer: The Poet (New Holland)
Wine: Throughout the winter I go with port...

Bourbon - Haven't tried enough to have a good favorite, I do like Woodford Reserve in an old fashioned though.
Scotch - Glenrothes Select Reserve is a good go to for me
Rum - HC7
Beer - Dogfish Head Bitches Brew. Man, I want to find more of this.

Wow, that's tough. Haven't had much scotch in a long time.

First the wish list, as I don't have any of these:
Bourbon: W.L. Weller (the antique version, barrel strength)
Scotch: Macallan 30yr (wth, right?)
Irish: Redbreast 15yr
Beer: Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout.

Now for the realistic one, based on what I have:
Bourbon: Stagg
Scotch: Dalmore Cigar Malt
Irish: Jameson
Beer: Brooklyn Chocolate Stout

 

[Mr. Robusto]

Bourbon: Booker's or Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Scotch: don't drink scotch, but need to
Beer: Bell's Hopslam

 

[dpricenator]

My best choice would be to have you all come ove rto my place with you choices so i could test them to see what works best.

 

[aea6574]

Bourbon: Booker's or Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Scotch: don't drink scotch, but need to
Beer: Bell's Hopslam

The Hopslam is a good choice, I always try to get at least a couple of six packs when it comes out, tasty stuff.

Best regards, tony

If money were no object:
Bourbon: Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23yr
Beer: Dark Lord Imperial Stout
Scotch: Macallan 50yr
Cognac: Remy Martin, Louis XIII

But I'd probably have
Bourbon: Booker's
Scotch: I've never really tried a good Scotch, but open to recommendations. I'll add it to my Christmas list
Beer: 512 Double Pecan Porter! Herfin' Harg got this one right. Good stuff.
