Bonus points for non-American products.

That's dope. What made you quit?

Buffalo Trace is probably the most popular distillery in America right now. Outside of regular Buffalo Trace bourbon you can barely find any of their bottles at MSRP. A $40 bottle of Eagle Rare going for $100+ SMH

Larceny is solid, especially their Barrel Proof

It's funny because I was drinking Makers Mark in like 2008 and I don't remember people requesting it much. But maybe they did. I don't know.
Well I drank mostly Makers 46 and then I got into Woodford Reserve for a bit.

My go to bourbon along with Old Forrester 1920

 

[Don De Dieu]

I could make this a real long list, but a few favorites:

For bourbon, if it's being mixed (especially Manhattans or Old Fashioneds), Four Roses or Old Forrester are my go-tos. OF 1920 is a nice pickup especially for the price. If I'm going rail, Evan Williams punches way above its weight.

If I'm drinking it neat, Weller 12-Year or Old Fitzgerald 15-Year are highest on my list. Depending on the year, the Old Forrester Birthday series is a good call. Same for Midwinter's Night Dram. And if you gotta go Pappy, Lot B gets slept on - lot of bang for your buck. Although, it's worth trying the 10, 12 and 15-years if you can get it.

For the under-the-radar (compared to bigger names), Bardstown Discovery 6 is nice.

Non-bourbon, Gunpowder, Wigle and The Botanist are dope gins, big fan of KoHana for rum and Auchentoshan for scotch.

I work out, but my consumption of beer didn’t do
my belly any favors. I wanted to shed the beer belly before summer, so I’ve decided to abstain from drinking until my body is where I want it to be.
