I forgot in my first response,,,,, THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT. The name of the app is 'WHIZZKY' you can add them to your personal library, read reviews that others have posted, look at the tasting notes, even add your own. When I was traveling for work an associate from Australia showed me the app, because he used it on his travels to remember and classify some of what he tried.
Of course there is a app for that! I just downloaded it, thanks for the tip! Also found it funny that the app has a 17+ age rating...

What is funny... most of the world has legal drinking age for spirits @ 18 and a few places in Europe 16, so those kids will even have to wait a year to use the app after being able to buy their own whiskey :)
I extensively use the similar app for beer, Untappd, mostly to keep a log for myself what I've tasted & enjoyed. I tend to remember the good whiskeys, but might just try the app, thanks for the tip!

Parks and Rec made me try Lagavulin haha
But it's so good
I love the idea of the infinity bottle. I'll have to start saving the last shot of any single malts I get from now on.
Usually I just grab whatever scotch is on special, unless it's a special occasion then I'll grab something nicer.

What are you drinking/tasting right now? Infinity bottle pro or con? I was given a bottle of Blue Note 9 year Bourbon yesterday by a friend. Very nice, very smooth. It will get in to my rotation if I can find it. I'm undecided with infinity bottles, because... I normally drink each bottle dry...
Eagle Rare. Couldn’t find any Blanton’s Original at a price I could justify, and ER came recommended as an alternative. Not bad

Then you might steer towards the motherload of heaviest peated whiskies, Octomore with the PPM over 200 (in comparison Lagavulin, Caol Illa, Ardberg have a PPM of 10-30) or if Octomore is too rich try Smokehead for an unforgettable experience

Glenlivet is my all time favorite. It's super smooth it's great for a gym party if you guys just want to sit around and relax. Currently I like / can afford glenlivet 15 :)

If my memory is correct Eagle Rare is made by the people who do Buffalo Trace. The ER 10 year in my opinion is better than the ER 17 year, the Buffalo Trace is decent as well but a little too much spice note for my daily go-to.

I haven't gotten in to Scotch. I live in the American South, and Bourbon is ubiquitous to the region, so that's what started me drinking it. I'll need to try. What is a good beginner Scotch?

I'm not sure what the average selection is like there, but in terms of what we would call "supermarket whiskeys", Bushmills is perfectly decent. Also its slightly more expensive/refined cousin Black Bush.
If you want to go more upmarket while still not breaking the bank too much, Redbreast 12-Year is great. Extremely smooth.

I picked up a little bottle of Black Bush. Pretty good!

Jiu-Jitsu Masters do not drink.
I'm currently sipping from a bottle of Jameson Distiller Safe a friend gave me.
Judo players tend to drink, it helps with the falling practice.
Anyway, back to practice.

though I suspect many do which is probably why they spend so much time wriggling about on the floor :)

I've been enjoying Uncle Nearest 1856 lately. I also just picked up a bottle of Michter's American Whiskey to try, as I was a big fan of their straight rye. I haven't broken into it yet, though.
