RE:What types of whiskeys are people drinking here?

I'm about to start just under a month's whisky and whiskey tasting. A good friend (and fellow nudist) gave me an advent calendar with a different dram for each day.

Now I've just drunk the dram for 19 Dec. Here are my tasting notes (very subjective scores out of 20). I list them in date order starting 1st Dec. 1 Tullamore Dew (Irish) 18/20. 2 Ka Va Lan (single malt) 16/20. 3 Glenfiddich 15/20. 4 Cardhu (my normal tipple) gold reserve 18/20. 5 Four Roses Bourbon 12/20. 6 Glen Scotia Double Cask. 7 Dubliner (Irish) 8/20. 8 Glengoyne 14/20. 9 Tullamore Dew 10/20. 10 Shackleton (blended) 7/20. 11 Elements of Islay 6/20 (probably too peaty for me). 12 Rebel Yell (rye) 14/20. 13 Teeling (Irish)7/20. 14 Jim Beam devils cut (Bourbon) 11/20. 15 Monkey Shoulder 10/20. 16 Pike Creek (Canadian) 14/20. 17 Bulleit Frontier (rye) 17/20. 18 Haig Club 16/20. And 19 Jim Beam (Rye) 17/20. Sorry if I gave a low score to your fav tipple. As I said it's subjective and it's a matter of my personal taste. You will like ones which I might not appreciate fully.

What scale are you using to rate your whiskys?

Never really got into bourbons here, for some reason. I'm a single-malt scotch kinda guy, especially the islay types. Laphroaig 15 is my go-to.

I am partial to ride with me, but Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a close second. Of course Crown Royal is always a yummy go to.

Thanks for accepting me into this group. I like Jack, Jim, Crown, Bullit, Blanton's, Woodford Reserve. But my favorite is Garrison Brothers out of Texas. I plan on going to your their distillery soon. If you haven't tried it you need to. I recently got hooked on Old Forrester Rye it is amazing. I usually add lots of crushed and Dr pepper or coke to my drinks and a few maraschino cherries, with the exception of Garrison Bros. I like it on the rocks.

Another Knob Creek fan here. I received sever different whiskies for Christmas, and purchased a couple for cooking and sharing. Lately I have been drinking a different one every night, I think I like this! I like whisky, have rarely had a mid to top shelf that I didnt like. Monkey Shoulder, Knob Creek, Sexton, and I am even drinking the Gentleman Jack I got my wife for bourbon balls. And no I did not spill my drink in my lap. I like the variety, may pick up a Rye probably Bullit and a single malt for Sunday. All are preferred neat, on a cube or two.
