Who keeps putting whiskey in my dice bags?

    You know, I feel like I need to inform you: when we send Crown, we aren't sending our best. If you can find the Northern Harvest version, that's at least as good as Crown is going to get.

    They recently moved a bunch of their production to the US.

    It's also made by Diagio, the Inbev of the Spirits world.

    Personally I think Gibson's is far better, but Crown gets the job done.

    I used to think Crown was disgusting. I still do, but I used to too.

    I don't drink anymore but when I did...

    Everyone should see if their liquor store can get the Canadian whiskey called 8 Seconds Black. It is soooo good.

    The best Canadian whiskey is still bad. It's all born of prohibition era swill. 🧐

    I cannot enjoy rye whiskey at all. I'll tolerate scotch or Irish but I'm a bourbon man through and through. I have an unopened bottle of pre-Trump Woodford waiting for that glorious day.

    Rye is my goto backpacking whiskey, but otherwise I'm a bourbon man.

    Or was, I guess, since I've retired from drinking.

    Why would you drink different whiskey while backpacking?

    Originally it's because the brand name kinda aligned with the activity (Bulleit Frontier). I was wanting to try a new whiskey, so it made sense.

    Then it just became what I grabbed before a trip because it was familiar and tasty.

    It's also partly because I can drink Bourbon like water, but rye and scotch not so much.
