Tullamore Dew does it for me. I also like a number of beers (NOT most american beer, which is dishwater). Most of the microbrews are pretty good. I particularly like some of the Eastern European beers. Alas, I haven't yet found a source of supply for those here in Virginia. I simply can't afford the wines I like.

Well, I explained my favorite Scotch, I guess I should finish.
I drink full flavoured beers. Any stout I can get my hands on, though Guinness isn't my favorite.
Some good 'flat beers' I drink are Kilkenny CA, Cafreys, Boddingtons (anyone ever tried Tetley's?).
Bottled beers (sparky's) are Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale (aye boy yeah, get'er int'ye), Sleeman's Cream Ale, Big Rock Honey Brown, Rickards Red.
Wines, a nice dry merlot, but shy away from those with a likeness to balsamic vinegar, White or pink zinfandel, and rarely a Cabernet Sauvignon. Californian and BC wines are quite nice, but the French (as in those from France, not Quebec) have really got the wine thing figured out.
Don't drink rhum, my first time drinking was my last time drinking rhum; Vodka is heartburn in a bottle and after a bad experience with it and bennies, I've vowed to never have either again; there was a time where I'd drink a quart of Baileys, but that ended after a few bad goes; haven't tried Absinthe yet.
Pretty much, the only hard liquor I drink is Whisky.

Actually you can buy it there now. They passed a law providing a special exemption. They can't sell drinks of it, but you can buy whole bottles to take with you. My dad and I went on the tour back in April.(They live about an hour south of Nashville, and we try to visit at least once a year.) It was very interesting and informative. The folks were all super nice. You can buy the whisky right there at the end of the tour.

This is good news. Thanks for the update. The tour was cool and I was disappointed to NOT be able to buy the product there.
