You guys need to drink the Don Julio Tequila, very good stuff. But it's definitely made to sip on or take shots....not for drinks.

Don Julio makes a good Anejo, but I'm not sold on the others. It depends on your taste in tequila, as well - if you like reposados, one of the finer comes from Cuervo, actually - Cuervo Reserva de Familia (usually just called "reserva") is amazing, but runs in the $90-$100 range. Put it in a snifter and sip - it's unreal. If you want to go a little cheaper, try el Corazon or el Tesoro. If you're into blancos, Patron is really about the best you can do.

Actually, if you REALLY want to get into it . . . some of the best booze in the world is coming in the form of mescals, which are identical to tequilas but are created outside the Tequila region. Del Maguay would be a good starter there.

Yea... any single-malt from the Islay region such as Laphroaig and Lagavulin is very much an acquired taste. Very strong peat flavor.

Some of the single-malts from the smaller distilleries are quite good, though they are sometimes hard to find.

Ahh... the Islay's are some of my favourites because of the peat-y taste...

I'm also a fan of the Glenmornagie Port Barrel

I've also been hopping to taste a Glen Breton Rare (only single malt whisky brewed in North America - can't be called single malt scotch for legal reasons).

I like Patron Reposado. I have had the silver too, I guess I like both equally. Hell, its PATRON!

LOL.

Although I like single malts my favorite is a blend called Famous Grouse. Outstanding scotch. Anybody tried it?

Okay, sorry I couldn't help but put it in here as it was the first thing I thought of when I read the post title. I myself, am not a huge fan of scotch, but I do like tequila. Of course my favorite is gin.
