Good Quality Liquors

Recommended Posts

I've never been into hard liquor, but just curious what are some good quality liquors of choice among traders?

 

Not sure where this came from, guess I've watched too much Boston Legal where Denny and Alan sit on their high rise porch drinking some quality liquor. I wouldn't mind a drink or two after some days of trading, but don't want to buy junk.

 

Give me some ideas... cost not a consideration, I'd much prefer a quality drink over cheapness.

After a hard day's trading, nothing better to kick back with than a flask of MD 20/20!

I'm a cocktail man after a hard day's work. But occasionally, I'd have a nice small shot of bourbon, no ice, Southern Comfort or Four Roses (smooth and lightly sweet... good stuff). Of course there are some nice real whiskey, either scottish or irish, depending your inclination. My next objective is to try the Johnnie Walker Blue Label, I heard it ain't cheap (I believe the bar down in Spain charges 85 euro a shot). That would be a treat when a nice day of record-breaking win for me (ha ha ha).

You guys should try an after meal drink called "crema de limoncello", lemon cream liquor, served ice cold. Excellent way to digest your meal. Italian specialty shop should have them.

Torero yea I've had that its really nice. Its a good summery drink. Unfortunately these types of drinks don't look good in a public place here where they are seen as "girly" drinks, so us blokes have to put up with beer and hard liquor such as whisky, vodka, and bourbon.

 

One drink that I love if you really need a pick me up in the wee hours of the morning is a jager bomb where you take a shot of jagermeister and mix it in with a red bull. Two or three of those will keep you rockin on till the sun comes up.

Nick - been there, done that. Looking to 'move up' the alcohol consumption chain if you will. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing like a cold, fresh draft Bud Light in a chilled glass at the right time. Gone are the times of massive beer and jager bond consumption. ;)

 

Cheers! :beer:

Well in terms of higher class liquor, I like Chivas Regal Scotch whiskey. Its not bad. Also Glenfiddich is good if you like whiskey. I prefer whiskey over bourbon cause bourbon is too sweet.

 

For the clear stuff, Finlandia vodka is good its got a sharper and not so powerfeull taste like a Smirnoff does. Very nice when it's cold so perfect for a martini mixer.

 

For you rummies Baccardi 351 will make you see another dimension after a few hits its some potent stuff.

Wray & Nephew overproof white rum from Jamaica (the stuff they keep under the table at the island bars) is highly prized for its "medicinal" qualities.

May we know what those qualities are?

 

I agree with Brown, after a while, they start to taste stale. There bunches of wines and liquors to be tried and enjoyed. Life too short to stick to beers imo. Of course, I heard Belgium has over 200 brands of beer, I've only tried 30-40, so working on that to-do list too.:p

Hoegarden is a fantastic white beer. White being unfiltered. Perfect in summer. We have a Belgian style Beer Garden here where I live and its great in summer.

 

Ohhh for real upper class liquor theres always Hennessy cognac. Its a distilled wine thats slightly sweet to the palate. Its pretty darn expensive though and when you're paying through the nose for it it makes sense to put it in a brandy snifter and inhale some of it back before swishing it around in the mouth and swallowing it down.

 

Man I should be a spokesperson on alcohol.

I love Boston Legal too. I'd wager they are guzzling a decent Cognac it looks too dark for a single malt scotch. I'm off to Cognac for a blues festival shortly I guess between wine and beer a few cognacs will be sunk.

Irish Whiskey - smooth! : Jameson or JD Powers

Rum - no coke needed, Nicaraguan award winner: Flor de Cana

Beer: Belgian : Belhaven!

 

Canadians say their beer is so much better than elsewhere, not a fact in my opinion. Best microbrew comes from Norcal and Oregon..

    • Date: 28th March 2024. The US Dollar Strengthens As Economists Believe The ECB Will Struggle To “Hold”. Early this morning, the Fed Governor advised “there is no rush to cut rates” and “the data within the upcoming months” will be vital. The US Dollar Index rises to a 1-month high. The value of the USD will largely be based on today’s data on economic growth, consumer sentiment and pending home sales. Dollar and index traders are closely monitoring tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect will read 0.3%. A higher inflation reading can potentially pressure stocks and support the Dollar. Strong declines in NVIDIA and Netflix stocks pressured the NASDAQ on Wednesday. Though, buyers entered late in the session to boost the overall price. EURUSD The latest comments from members of the Federal Reserve are supporting the US Dollar. The forward guidance between members of the Federal Reserve is mainly not aligned. The Chairman advises the Fed does not need much more proof for the regulator to feel comfortable reducing rates. Whereas the Fed Governor, Mr Waller, advises there is no rush, and he wants to see a few months of data before determining the next move. Therefore, the upcoming inflation and employment data will remain vital and could even push back rate hikes further. According to economists, the Federal Reserve will cut the interest rate on 3 occasions this year, but the timing of the first cut is less certain and may change depending on upcoming data. A positive factor for traders is that EURUSD exchange is not witnessing conflicting currencies. The US Dollar is trading 0.12% higher while the Euro is declining against most currencies. The Euro is trading 0.06% lower against the Pound and the Canadian Dollar and 0.16% lower against the Japanese Yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Italy, Mr Cipollone, said that the authorities were confident that inflation would return to the target of 2.0% by mid–2025. He also supports the lower of interest rate and will use this as a basis for adjusting monetary policy. The Euro is generally under pressure as investors believe the European Central Bank will struggle to avoid cuts if the Fed decide to delay their adjustments. The US Dollar will be influenced by four major economic data releases. The US Final GDP, Weekly Unemployment Claims, Pending Home Sales and Consumer Sentiment Index. If these read higher than expectations with the weekly unemployment claims dropping, the US Dollar is likely to witness further support. However, investors should note the main release will be tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. Traders are expecting no major news for Europe and volatility levels may fall tomorrow as European markets are closed for Easter. Technical analysis currently points towards a continued downward trend. The price is trading below the neutral on the RSI and below the 75-Bar EMA. However, investors should note this will also be dependent on upcoming US data. USA100 The price of the USA100 was under pressure throughout the whole US session but was saved by an increased volume of buyers late in the session. However, a positive point is the components held onto their value. Even though the index fell in value, only 28% of the components declined. Investors will now turn their attention towards tomorrow’s PCE Price Index and the upcoming earnings season which will start in mid-April. The price is now trading slightly above the Moving Averages but slightly below the 50.00 on the RSI. Therefore, technical analysis remains at the “neutral” level and continues to indicate a larger price range. If today’s economic data is positive the stock market can witness confidence and support as this continues to indicate a soft landing. Though, if the data is too strong, it could also trigger a hawkish Fed which is known to be negative for the USA100. Always trade with strict risk management.
