OK, here`s the deal Jim.
What kind of whiskey and or liquor do you choose for those times when you have had enough of the world`s BS and you just absolutely, positivly must get blasted beyond a reasonable doubt?
I`m not talking about the "pinky finger extended, casual, limp wristed" drinking session here.
What I`m talking about is "critical mass" drinking here. Ya know for those times when your dog bit ya, your pickup won`t start, Mom`s in prison, your boss is a total jerk and your wife run away with the plumber type things. :)
Let`s hear it.

Old Crow ... bad times deserve bad whisky. :aok
Rye whisky, rye whisky
Rye whisky I cry
If I don't get rye whisky
I surely will die
-
heh! Haven`t heard of Old Crow in a long time. I had an uncle that consumed that stuff llike water.
I prefer Old #7 when I drink whiskey. Don`t drink it much.
If I`m going for cheap I go with CM, but the stuff is like drinking water.

Nothing beats Jack when you want to fade to black..
and the next morning it reminds you how miserable you're still supposed to be feeling.

so your talking about everyday
As a self annointed JD professional.
Old # 7 is ok, but for outstanding results drink Jack Daniels
Silver Select Single barrel. 100 proof smooth as silk.
Should be outlawed it just too good and too bad at the same time.
Gentleman Jack is my preference.
And I never get a hangover from Jack no matter how much I drink.

Malt Liquer or mad dog 20/20.
You see, for me the therapy is in the "I want to die" hangover the next day. And a couple of 40s of OE or grip of cheap wine will give me that 24 hour hangover.
Once you recover, whatever was bothering you really doesn't seem that bad.

As a long time friend of Jack I would have to say your situation calls for something different.

RYE WHISKEY
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
I'll drink when l'm dry,
If the hard times don't kill me,
I'll lay down and die.
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
Rye whisky, l cry,
If you don't give me rye whisky,
I surely will die.
I'll tune up my fiddle,
And I 'll rosin my bow,
I'll make myself welcome,
Wherever I go.
Beefsteak when l'm hungry,
Red liquor when l'm dry,
Greenbacks when I'm hard up,
And religion when I die.
They say l drink whisky,
My money's my own;
All them that don't like me,
Can leave me alone.
Sometimes l drink whisky,
Sometimes l drink rum,
Sometimes l drink brandy,
At other times none.
But if I get boozy,
My whisky's my own,
And them that don't like me,
Can leave me alone.
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds,
I know you of old,
You've robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold.
Oh, whisky, you villain,
You've been my downfall,
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me,
But I love you for all.
If the ocean was whisky,
And I was a duck,
I'd dive to the bottom
And never come up.
But the ocean ain't whisky
And l ain't a duck,
So we'll round up the cattle
And then we'll get drunk.
My foot's in my stirrup,
My bridle's in my hand,
l'm leaving sweet Lillie,
The fairest in the land.
Her parents don't like me,
They say l'm too poor;
They say I'm unworthy
To enter her door.
Sweet milk when l'm hungry,
Rye whisky when l'm dry,
If a tree don't fall on me,
I'll live till I die.
I'll buy my own whisky,
I'll make my own stew,
If I get drunk, madam,
It's nothing to you.
I'll drink my own whisky,
I'll drink my own wine,
Some ten thousand bottles
I've killed in my time.
I've no wife to quarrel
No babies to bawl;
The best way of living
Is no wife at all.
Way up on Clinch Mountain
l wander alone,
l'm as drunk as the devil,
Oh, let me alone.
You may boast of your knowledge
An' brag of your sense,
'Twill all be forgotten
A hundred years hence.
(From American Ballads and Folk Songs, Lomax )

The best Whisky comes from Canada
Crown Royal is the daddy
V.O. is a less aged version but more affordable for daily consumption.
1/2 Gallon a week is the norm.
-
Cold Duck....hmmmmm, good.
-
Ancient Age Bourbon..... A plastic 1.75 liter bottle is under fifteen bucks.
Depending on the situation I'll drink it straight... mixed with a Sprite & Ice... sometimes when the mood hits, I'll mix a teaspoon of real Maple Syrup into threefingers of it.
Them my favorite.... a few shots in a Lemon-Shakeup from the state fair.
In the situation you describe, Just pound it.
-
I really need to amend my answer. The correct answer is: Whatever is available.
At least that's how I've been living during this, the ****ty and wierd time in my life. I really do hope that this ends soon, as it's becoming something of a habit.

Unless I'm mistaken (naaa, that never happens), Old Crow is not a rye. It's a sour mash corn whiskey. Nearly all rye whiskey is from Canada. Crown, V.O., C.C., ect. There are very few American rye's anymore. I know Wild Turkey still makes one, but that's about it.
Now back to our show...

Pretty Tasty Kentuky Rye (http://www.oldripvanwinkle.com/newbs/vw/website3.nsf/docsbykey/HNEY-5FFLWJ?opendocument)
Jim Beam makes an awful rye too.

Goaly,
Give Canadian Hunter a try.
It is a Seagram's product that has not been aged as long as VO which has not been aged as long as Crown.
My theory is they all the same just difference in how long they keep them in the barrel.
Whisky is the antidote to life.
You must have personal rules though.
My rules follow (no desire to impose these on anyone)
No toddy's before 5:00 (4:00 on weekends and holidays)
Vodka mixed with fruity drinks is ok before 5:00. But no fruity drinks after 5:00 . Must switch to adult cocktails ie Martinis, Vodka and 7-up after 5:00.
Margiritas are allowed after 12:00(noon) and only on the rocks only after 5:00 pm.
Rum is frowned upon unless it is during daylight and must be near a beach. (Females only)
Beer OK 24 hrs a day but I generally switch to a toddy a 5:00

Out of the two, I prefer V.O. to Crown. I like the taste better. Go figure.

can't drink brown liquors.
bad bad bad experience in youthful days of over indlugence.
something about a bucket of my own puke, answering the door in my underwear, and falling down a whole flight of stairs so i'm told... i only remember the awful smell and taste of waking up with a pillow filled with what can only be described as "used" southern comfort and taco bell, and a terribly pain in my hip from landing on a concrete floor at the bottom of the stairs.
to this day the smell / "bite" of brown liquors makes me dry heave

Jack Daniels Black Label
Jack Daniels Green Label

Crown Royal for drinking when I'm having a good day.
I don't drink on the bad days. never had a problem that got better if I'd get drunk and ignore it for a day or 3.
-
Jack Daniels if you please.
:aok

When I gets it, it makes me happy
When I don`t gets it, it makes me sad
When I gets it, it makes me frisky
I ain`t alking about what you think I am.
I`m talkin bout whiskey.
A little ryhme from an old friend that has since left the world. Willie G. Johnson a.k.a. Cootie
Spent lots of time with this old gent in my youth and after I was grown. He had more common sense in his little finger than most could store in a life time.
-
Maker's Mark straight up. Best bourbon around IMO.
-
Jim Beam makes a great assortment of small batch bourbons
my personal fav is Basil Haydens,
mmmmm Basil Haydens Manhattan, mmmmmm
the others are Bookers........about 126 proof, it has flavor !!!!
Knob Creek, and Bakers
They also make an 18 year bourbon called Masterpiece.
It is finished in Cognac barrels. Not really sure how they got around calling it a bourbon, since they have to be aged in NEW charred oak barrels to be called a bourbon

Drinking Drano generally puts an end to all of life's little problems.
-
you are forgetting the best of them all: moonshine whiskey. one shot can make you buzzed.
-
Prefered Crown Royal...until I tasted Crown Royal Special Reserve.
2 to 3 oz.s with a couple cubes of ice. Makes the day go away.
-
What, no Scotch drinkers?
-
Getting wasted on a single Malt is no fun under the circumstances he's outlined. Save the single Malt for when he's happy again. Then he can enjoy experience..........:)

Sandy,
What is the deference between a scotch drinker and an alcoholic?
The alcoholic goes to classes.

Dewars Whisky from Scotland is what I drink. Great great stuff. Don't drink that rotgut stuff like Old Crow, Kentucky Gentleman, etc when you feel bad. Because after drinking that ***** you are really gonna feel bad.:(

You answered your own question Tap. It is AGED in new charred oak, according to law. That makes it a legal bourbon. They take the bourbon and "finish" it in cognac barrels. If they "aged" it in used cognac barrels (which aren't charred BTW) it would be a whiskey, not a bourbon.
-
1. What is bourbon?
There are strict laws governing just what a Bourbon must be to be labeled as such. For example, at least 51 percent of the grain used in making the whiskey must be corn (most distillers use 65 to 75 percent corn). Bourbon must be aged for a minimum of two years in new, white oak barrels that have been charred. Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor, add sweetness or alter color.

Ah, the loophole Sandy is "at bottling". They do not add anything at the time of bottling such as flavoring or coloring. It is indeed a loophole they are exploiting.
And to get to the subject of the thread, if ya want a rotgut, nothing is worse than Kentucky Deluxe. KD, Killum Dead. 20% whiskey, 80% neutral grain spirits. 100% rotgut.

of which the tequila equivalent would be Jose Cuervo Gold. ;)

While I abhor Curevo Gold, Torada or Juarez would be more equal rotgut to KD.
