We always used Everclear. It was usually a mistake.
During the day, we had to cross the state line to buy everclear. So many times I wish I hadn't crossed that boundary.

I'm jealous! On a Monday night even. I have to save Balvenie 15 & other favorites at that price point for special occasions or at least the weekends! I need to come visit!Balvenie 15

There is a very good reason I have not had Cutty Sark in 30 years and I plan to keep it that way.Earlier this wk at a little bar & grill my choices for Scotch to drink were blended only, & as long as you liked JW Black, Red or Cutty Sark you were in good shape there. The bartender dug around & found an unopened bottle of Cutty Sark Prohibition. So I tried it. It did have some peat smoke but otherwise I couldn't tell what might have gone into the blend. With no age statement & bottled at 50% ABV it was a bit rough & needed a cube or two to tame it down some. I haven't drank any Cutty since I was a kid.
Last night at a better establishment from my choices for an after dinner Scotch I chose a couple of drams of Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask. Thick & oily the finishing taste from the Caribbean rum was pleasant as an aperitif. I will probably enjoy it again sometime as an aperitif while dining out but I really like the Doublewood series in 12 & 15 at home.
