No go on the rum, it’s a distillation of a different set of sugars. Scotch is unusual in that it’s a spectrum from ‘WTF? This tastes like it was filtered thru PEAT fer Chrissakes’ to an ethereal liquid that gets you drunk without ever hitting your stomach. (Do you have any idea how FAST you can get drunk when it enters your bloodstream thru your tongue and goes straight to your brain?)
Ah, I didn’t realize we were talking hard alcohol. As long as I can have beer and wine, the for my booze I choose Jameson’s.
Gin of some description. If you told me today that I could never drink anything but gin and tonics for the rest of my life I’d be put out, but I wouldn’t cry about it.

If it’s one brand of any beverage, it’d be Silver Oak Cabernet.
If it’s one hard liquor, it’d be Corazon Tequila.
Bushmills 16 yr old.
It would definitely be a bourbon. After my Great Bourbon Experiment of 2003, I think I would go with Eagle Rare 10yo.
Stone Ruination IPA.
I gave much consideration to my favorite stouts, but they can wear me down after awhile. The IPA’s always taste refreshing, and have that unbeatable aroma.
I’ll take a bottle of Powers to fill this eternal glass
And drink with the prayer that the OP’s scenario never comes to pass.
Cheers!
One type of alcohol forever? I’d have to go with Wyder’s Pear Cider, but I would be very sad.
If I still got to drink beer, wine and cider, I’d have to choose Balvenie, Doublewood 12 year. But I’d still be sad.
Ditto. I shudder to think of life without dry martinis.
I’d have to go with sapphire for the best strength and price to taste ratio (maybe everclear if it weren’t so expensive.)
I’d go for St Brendan’s, which tastes the best out of an cremes I’ve had, but it has so much sugar that it gives me a huge sugar down when I drink any more than a shot’s worth.
If it was one base liquor only, I’d go for a GOOD vodka. If I can’t add adjuncts to get whatever flavor I’m looking for (age in barrels for a passable whiskey type, mix with molasses or sugars for a rum type, fruit extracts for flavored vodka, etc…) then I’ve no business in the kitchen.
As for beer, give me grains, and beasties (yeast) and I’ll make anything you want. (well, I will once I get a new set of gear, mine somehow disappeard in the many moves since college)
I’d go with Basil Hayden’s.
