So get more. You'll feel much better, then create the pattern of replacing what you drink. Works for me.

Anyone had the new Crown Maple?  Thoughts?  I thought it was pretty decent when I tried it with water.

tasted like I was eating pancakes, I didn't like it 'cause imo whiskey shouldn't taste like pancakes.

I'm a Canadian whiskey drinker.  One day I was buying a bottle of Crown and some old man told me that next time I should buy Forty Creek. He said it tasted just as good but was cheaper. So, the next time I went I picked up a gallon of Forty Creek. Well... it wasn't bad but it was not in the same league as Crown. More like Seagrams. And... it wasn't that much cheaper.

Ya, I don't disagree with this one bit.  It's interesting though, if nothing else

It was much better than the 357 Canadian maple rye, however.

Is it weird that I absolutely like Seagram's better than I like Crown?  I think the only liquor more overrated than Crown is Patron, but that belongs in the tequila thread.

How do you drink it?

Lots of different ways?  Favorite is with ice and just a splash of Coke, but also enjoy shots, on the rocks, whiskey and coke, whiskey and 7up, whiskey and ginger ale.  Really whatever, as long as it has whiskey.

Not a huge fan of sipping it neat if it is warm.

hmm.. ok.

I don't notice much difference between Crown and Seagrams when mixed with 7up or coke but when drinking it in a shot or on the rocks Crown just seems much smoother to me.

I bought some Woodford reserve a few weeks ago and broke it out last night.  It has the bite that I like in a bourbon but the flavor was not great.  1792 has a better flavor imo and the towny liquor store stocks it so there's that.  Some poster (I think Cire?) said they liked Woodford reserve and I was just wondering what exactly they liked about it.

Tullamore Dew is a better shot than Jameson.

 Since most emaws are , I'm going to assume that most of you enjoy Maker's Mark from time to time...

The following will come as very disturbing news, and I suggest heading out to stock up before the watered down crap hits the shelves.
