7. Why not?
It tastes good, smooth and gets you there!
Plus you get a cool little purple velvet pouch.

18. A bottle lasts me a very long time.
I haven't tried Midleton's. But a native Mick once told me, "There's only Jameson." I was a convert before that.

I like Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve, great whiskies.

But mostly, I go whisky, especially the peety stuff - LaPhroiag and Lagavulin. Yummy! Also love the Balvenie Double Barrel.

26. I would like to try a high end jack sometime
I'm not real keen on the cheap stuff, so I'm also hesitant to drop the change for a bottle of high end of stuff just in case I don't like it. Sometime when I'm out, I should try to remember to order a glass of it.

Jack, Seagram's Seven, and Johnny Walker are all tough on my mouth, taste-wise.

Surprised the hell out of me, i'm not much of a fan of American whiskeys.
