A couple guys I know were going on about how great a certain kind of Scotch was. I asked to taste just a cap full and... it tasted like DIRT!!! "You guys drink this on purpose???"
They were letting on I'm uncultured. Maybe so, but I'm not drinking that stuff again!

Scotch is an acquired taste,

I like Islay regions scotches, Caol Ila is my favorite,

Snapple peach tea Yes, scotch is an acquired taste....I haven't acquired any in a loooong time.

When I was younger I worked for a Mom and Pop business that kinda halfway demanded we all go out and have drinks on them after work on a regular basis at a local bar. I was going through my stage of "everything gave me a hangover but not a buzz" stage of my life.

I found that scotch did not give me a hangover like whiskey/bourbon so I would order a scotch and Coke. The bartender thought that was hilarious, assured me no one had ever asked for one before, and came to know me by "Scotch and Coke". I always thought that was weird of him since scotch IS a whiskey.

After a short while I just started ordering a Coke and everyone assumed it was a mixed drink of sorts. Strange times.

When I was drinking, I drank scotch and ginger ale. Coke is too sweet.

In the mil we jumped with padded bottles of Boones Farm Wild Mountain or Apple Dabble. Always a good vintage....June.

Boones Farm - a fave of poverty stricken college students. Only 98 cents the bottle when I was in. My gf really liked it!

[lyman]

funny, had a convo with some folks about Boones farm not long ago,

a friend and I used to drink White Zin, she was 21+, I was not quite 21, so she went in and got a bottle,
we would drink it in the theater watching a movie


Elijah Craig in the glass tonight, 94 proof, and mighty good

many many years ago I was a 7 in 7 person,
Seagrams 7 and 7up,

not bad then, can't drink it now

In my younger days when I was doing wine, it was Ripple, Spanada or Rhineskeller (aka ratkiller). Never did Boone's Farm. Don't much care for Scotch; remember having a terrible hangover once after drinking a bottle of JW Red. Drank a lot of beer, foreign and domestic, between the ages of 18 and 55; after that not so much. Always found that the best beer was that what was made locally.......Japan it was Kirin, Philippines it was San Miguel, Australia it was Fosters and in Seattle it was Rainier; here in California either Coors or Sierra Nevada IPA. Nowadays, might have a few shots of Jim Beam on occasion but, that's it. Beer makes me piss too much and feel bloated.

Lyman....while stationed at Langley VA. a neighbor introduced me to Polar Bear and Black Bear wine. Lot like Boones Farm but Black Bear was better. I think they were regional. That's 1972...are they still around?

not heard of either, but I was 9 in 72

local back in the day was Richard's Wild Irish Rose, IIRC it was made in Petersburg for a while,

granny had a bottle of Cold Duck in the fridge every Christmas, sometimes it was the same unopened one from the previous year
