I got a couple bottles for Christmas.  Old Forrester 100 and Bulleit 1/4 oak.

Enjoy my bourbons on just a couple of ice cubes, no mixers.

Old forester is my go to right now. If you like the 100, you'll LOVE the 1920 prohibition. 

I drink scotch neat but the only drink I make with scotch is a Godfather....it's a drink everyone should have at least once.

1 shot scotch, Islay is preferred Laphroaig 10 is my go-to here

1 shot Amaretto. I prefer Di Amore

Its spectacular. You could do it with bourbon too but it'll probably be very sweet

Sounds like that should be called a Canoeboulou.

When we were in Jamaica, we had Sangsters Rum Cream. Absolutely delicious. But you can't get it here. I found a recipe that is pretty damn close: 

• 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

• 1-1 1/4 c amber rum (appleton's is what i use)

• 1 c cream or half and half

• 3 Tbsp chocolate syrup

• 2 Tbsp fresh brewed coffee

• 1 tsp real vanilla extract

• 1 tsp coconut extract

Throw them all in a blender, chill for an hour. 

I feel that I should mention  a Godfather again. They are that good

Haven't done liquor in years, evidently I'm not very good at it.

Rusty nail.  2 parts scotch, 1 part Drambuie, twist.

I used to make fancy drinks at happy hour for folks.  One of the faves I would do is a Peach Cobbler Martini.  Peach brandy, splash of peach vodka, splash of frangelico (that's what gives the bready/oatmeal flavor), cream.  Shake forever.  Plunge the shaker into the well and spin in between making other drinks.  Re-shake forever again.  Pour into a chilled martini glass.  It will be thick and have ice chunks in it almost as if you started the process of making ice cream.  Cinnamon stick stir/garnish, and grind some fresh nutmeg with a nut on a rasp.

You can adjust that for any flavor you wish.  Blackberry you could use Chambord and blackberry vodka.  Apple, blueberry, whatever.  You can also do it just as a straight up brandy and finish with a couple drops of vanilla (which I called a Panna Cotta).  I also did the Panna Cotta cocktail with caramel and called it a Flan.

Awrite, I'll try it...(sip) yeah OK. The smoke goes with the almonds quite well. Trying  it with an Ardbeg wee beastie, next time I'll give it a go with Laphroig....cheers!

I prefer the Rusty Nail - scotch and Drambuie.

Fave scotch has to be Lagavulin, but it's a little too punchy neat.  Splash of water

In reply to Jay_W :

I've been trying to find Wee Beastie around me and haven't had any luck.

I'm glad you liked it, imo it's probably the best cocktail people haven't tried

I usually drink Laga neat, it's definitely a smoother Islay.

Have you tried Laphroaig? It's......much punchier than Laga
