I plan on purchasing one bottle of good liquor for my smokes, looking to spend no more than $100bucks, and I need some recommendations.

You see I am a beer man myself, but I have been looking into getting a bottle or two to keep things sophisticated around the house.

Ideas?

THANKS!

ya know, I don't even know the difference between bourbon and scotch - I guess I should look it up one of these days.

Also, mostly I smoke dark full bodied cigars.

I have found that a good stout beer is excellent with cigars. If your looking for some kind of hard alcohol ... single malt scotch is a great choice. You can often find a decent priced scotch.....try to find at least a 12 year old at the minimum.

Before you buy an entire bottle that you might not like, go to a nice bar and sample by the glass.

If you are not a liquor drinker, why buy a $100 bottle?

I used to drink liquor......and even then I wouldn't consider such a thing.

If you feel you must develop a taste for fine spirits, go to a classy bar and sample some.

For cigars, I'd stick with brown liquors........bourbon, scotch, dark rum, etc.

I'm with Drafter on this one - buy $100 worth of good beer - preferably a porter.....

If u arent a drinker you probably shouldnt start with scotch. U should probably start with something more mild like a rum or vodka. At least you have variety with mixing on those 2.

First, bourbon is what scotch wants to be when it grows up.

(Just kidding. Don't flame me yet.)

Andy is right. There is no need to spend $100 on liquor, although you certainly can do so. There are many excellent bourbons (depending on where you live, of course) for less than $20 for a fifth.

BTW, bourbon is a whiskey distilled from mash made of at least 51% corn which has been aged in new, charred oak barrels. There are more rules for what can and cannot be called bourbon which I cannot recall at this moment.

^12 - bar costs are so high he might as well just buy the bottle, especially if it is to be shared with guests

^13 - good call, but you have to drink after opening.

I vote you get a few decent bottles of a few different things, and you can easily do that for under $100. You can even grab a nice sixer of Super-IPA's with the change!

18: Bar costs can be high, but not as high as spending 100 bucks on something you don't enjoy.
