    The label looks like KITT took over a whiskey bottle.

    I'm more of a bourbon fan myself. All bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon. With that said, Maker's Mark is my favorite common bourbon. The best bourbon/whiskey on the planet is Pappy Van Winkles or "Ol' Rip Van Winkles". They make a 15 and 20 y.o. bourbon that can't be found anywhere else. Made in Lawrenceburg, KY; it in my opinion is the best stuff on earth. If your ever lucky enough to come across a bottle/drink DON'T waste the opportunity to try it...even if it is 30.00 a glass. <3

    Edit: Go sign up at Maker's Mark if your a fan they give you a bunch of free crap and name a barrel after you.

    @WaffleTeamStrike! v26.00: I've been drinking Elijah Craig 18 and Buffalo Trace lately, but my go to is Woodford. Makers is ok, it's usually what I drink at the bar if they don't have any Woodford (Bulleit is popular too, but I can't stand it). I don't know how to explain it, but Woodford doesn't completely coat your tongue which I really like.

    I'm not sure why I never tried Craig before, but wow, it's great, just too expensive to drink on a regular basis.

    I haven't had Pappy before, it's now on the list ;)

    EDIT: Oh Pappy is in with Buffalo Trace, hell I would love it then :P

    @UnderLoK: Woodford is great. I have a friend that prefers it. This is a travesty but I like Woodford with a splash of water (ice changes the taste). I drink Maker's neat. If I ever get the chance to partake in some Pappy's it has to be neat. I have had Craig 18 before and it was very rich, that sad thing is not alot of bars carry it.

    @WaffleTeamStrike! v26.00: I actually had Pappy 20 a few weeks ago during a small tasting and forgot or maybe I was just a little wasted... My buddy reminded me that he brought some over around Thanksgiving after I was saying that I was going to get some... I do remember not liking it :| He prefers the 10 or 12 so maybe I'll give that a shot and might like that better. The 20's generally have some funk going on that I never seem to like.

    I drink my bourbon with ice, but only a few cubes. For me it opens it up a bit especially for the ones that are pushing 110+ proof. Plus I get less wasted ;)

    @UnderLoK: Oh yeah man. It's always great to chat with a fellow bourbon geek. Yeah the 20yo for some reason isn't as good as the 10 and 12, why? I have no idea, my first thought is the fact that it's not chill filtered and comes straight from the barrel. Barrel batches usually do have quite a bit of funk. Also, like you when I tried 20yo I was already smerched so yeah. Thanks for the chat.

    I just cracked open a bottle of Charles Shaw (3 buck chuck here in the Midwest) Austrailian Chardonay 2008. I will trade this bottle for a good shot of whiskey right now. Being from Minnesota, I am more of a Windsor man than Ballantine's.

    Everyone knows there's only 2 successful ways to market liquor... 1) make it better than your competitors or 2) get a rapper to mention it in a song.

    The detail that makes this is the glass cutting. It doesn't look that hard but give it a shot. Cutting those holes is no easy task.

    I swear by Tuthilltown's Four Grain Bourbon, though the Rye is damn good too.

    It's served at several bars in NYC, for those looking to give it a shot. #whiskeypc

    A bottle of good whiskey is more likely to be emptied than bad whiskey. I'd hate to have a computer built of of any bottle that I would refuse to drink, that's just a waste.

    It's not like there are tons of things more worthwhile to do with an empty liquor bottle. Might as well keep the bottles that housed the expensive stuff.
