Crown and sprite with a lemon wedge that’s the best drink out there

I’m a rookie, but bourbons have good flavor going on. Canadian and Irish whiskies are just meh in comparison. No character.

My everyday whiskey is Woodford reserve. I went from
Maker Mark to Elijah Craig now Woodford.

Crown Royal


shite whiskey even by Canadian standards.

Comes with a great purple bag to stash your, uh, decahedral dice. Yeah...yeah that's the ticket.

As far as actual bourbon whiskey, you'd think every OT'er would have a bottle Pappy Van Winkle's 15 year family reserve on hand. Me personally I'm a fan of Blanton's when someone introduced me to it a year ago. Sadly, I don't drink anymore so I can save that $225 for another bottle and apply that to another vice to fill that void. Wish me luck.

It’s more of a children’s whisky.

The only crown I drink is the peach. It is fantastic.

Blantons is great bourbon.

Crown is too sweet for me. Makers is my daily bourbon.

Rocks, old fashions or sazerac’s for me. No way I could drink a bourbon and coke nowadays… fell out of love with those after college.

It’s a notch above horse urine. A small notch. Also, my Ole Miss fan BiL loves it.

Crown Royal bags are the best for holding your drugs.

I started out on crown, a long time ago. I now like my whiskey to taste a lot more robust. If you want a blended whiskey (which typically taste a lot milder) crown would be my choice.

A retired very successful liquor rep told me there’s more Crown Royal consumed during LSU football season than anywhere in the country. Da truth

Another liquor rep told me the reason Crown became so popular in La and TX was from so many baws worked in Alaska on the pipelines in th 70’s, and it was a common whiskey up there. I dunno but it is really just a inexpensive blended whiskey.

Buy it at almost any restaurant for a fair price. The secondary market is too high, and there’s comparable stuff even at the standard price.


I have never had a bad bourbon with a Jefferson label on it.
