You are granted three magically bottomless liquor bottles. What are they?

@oft_wears_hats

Oh, I know that. I was asking with respect to the OP’s magical endless bottle rules. If I wanted single malts in my big three, would I get one batch or would it change over time to reflect the most recent batch? If I didn’t specify a batch, what would I end up with?

It won’t change over time.

You might like Grappa, as it’s made the same way. As are other Pomace Brandies. Take the pomace—all of the stems, seeds and skins left over after you press wine grapes—let it sit and ferment, then distill the liquid that’s left. MdB is just done with pomace from Burgundy grapes. It can be rather pricey. I didn’t know the DRC made one, until I looked it up. Anyway, it’s usually a pretty fiery, rough, clear spirit, but some of the better Grappas have a lot of finesse. I like the ones from Jacopo Poli, but there are other good ones too. The Moscato Grappa from Inga is quite distinctive. An unfortunate, for me anyway, thing about higher end Grappas is that you’re paying for the fancy, hand-blown bottle and other packaging a lot of the time, not just the spirit. I just want to drink the stuff, not stare at it in the liquor cabinet. Others differ.

Uuhgh… grappa. <Shudder>

1. Copper Fox Rye, not that rare or expensive, but IMHO the best rye out there for Manhattans.
2. Hendrick’s Gin
3. Oban, 18 y.o.

[silenus]

1. Either The Macallan Cask Strength (if I consider the wishes of my wife) or Highland Park 20
2. Pappy 20
3. Whichever one I didn’t choose for #1

Gotta put Louis XIII cognac at the top of any list like this. It seems as if at least two previous posters agree with me.

As for Scotch, 25-year-old Bowmore is the one I enjoyed (and savoured) the most. So, it’s number two.

But no list of good booze (especially one of bottomless bottles) can be complete without the Macallan 30-year-old.

[An_Gadai]

1. Midleton 26 Year Old Pure Pot Still
2. Some type of Balvenie, I’m not picky
3. Maker’s Mark probably.

I’m not very imaginative. I’d be dead in a year if I had even one bottomless bottle.

[Capt_Kirk]

1. Fernet-Branca, this is my favorite thing on the planet

2. Louis VIII cognac (like cognac and it sounds delish)

3. The Macallan Fine and Rare 1926. if you are going to do do it might as well swing for the bleachers.

1. Pisco - Torontel or Albilla, Mosto Verde, 4 Gallos.

2. Rum - Añejo Reserva - Brugal

3. Whisky - Johnnie Walker Blue (I don’t like whiskey, but I’ve got friends)

[bump]

1. White rum. Probably Havana Club (the Cuban kind), or barring that, Mt. Gay Eclipse Silver.

2. Gin. Leopold Bros. Navy Strength.

3. Whiskey. Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve or Elijah Craig 18 yr.

[Saintly_Loser]

A bottle of Powers Irish whiskey. Just plain Powers, no single-malt or extra-aged or anything, just plain Irish whiskey.

A bottle of Laphroig 15-year old. Lovely.

A bottle of gin. Nothing fancy, Gordon’s will do just fine.

That should pretty much cover it for me.

Kahlua

Liquor, not liqueur. Neither are 35% alcohol.

1. I’m still getting into whiskey, but some of the peaty scotches really kick ass, so I’d take one of those. Lagavulin or Laphroaig perhaps.
2. Tequila–perhaps Herradura
3. Glenfiddich scotch

I like the cut of your jib.

1. Herradura Anejo
2. Glenfiddich 18
3. This 30 a shot scotch that this bartender in Rochester gave me right before I moved. He told me I would never forget it, but alas, I have forgotten the name. I was already buzzed when he broke it out, so I may be an unreliable narrator, but I swear, I remember it as the nectar of the Gods, dancing on my tongue like a prima ballerina.

Kayaker, what is it about us and forgetting 30 dollar scotch shots? Maybe they put something in it to make us forget!!!

[Ellis_Aponte_Jr]

Bombay Sapphire
El Tesoro de Don Felipe reposado tequila

…and the third one would either be Maker’s Mark bourbon if I’m thinking more about myself, or Stolichnaya vodka if this is more about friends

@ThelmaLou

I only need one: Jack Daniel’s.

Really? 3 bottomless liquor bottles, and you’d pick Jack Daniels? Out of all the bourbons and Tennessee whiskies out there, that’s the one you’d pick if price is no object?

That’s akin to someone offering you unlimited lifetime hamburgers from anywhere, and choosing McDonald’s Quarter Pounders.

[DCnDC]

1. Canadian Club Reserve
2. Stolichnaya
3. Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum

I thought about going high-end, but ultimately these are what I drink, not because they’re affordable, but because it’s what I like.

Perhaps they want to cook. Jack Daniels makes some excellent sauces and marinades.

Even if not, Jack may be inexpensive, sure, but it’s a strange and beautiful thing. The world is richer for its existence. Not quite like McDonald’s.

Still, do you have any recommendations for Tennessee whiskies? Always good to expand one’s horizons.

If someone really loves the taste of Quarter Pounders over all other burgers, then it makes perfect sense. Thelma’s answer I understand. I don’t understand posters who are saying, “It doesn’t have to be the best, I’ll just take…” If they mean that the ‘best’ is the best in their own opinion, I can’t understand not going with that.
