What is it you can't face?
Gin: pretty much any reasonable quality one. Probably Bombay Saphire if pushed.
Vodka: Not fussed. Only drink it with a mixer and I can't tell the difference.
Rum: Only ever drink it drowned with cola and only then when there's nothing else to drink.
Whisky: <puke>

My eyes are black holes
This Bombay Saphire is almost double the price of the others - must be some good stuff

No rum in the house, haven't had a drink for a week, might have to pop round the corner to Jerry's Offie in a minute to try one of these.

I am Noodle's bitch.
Gin - Plymouth, obviously, as I'm from Plymouth and just walk down to the distillery and get it.
Vodka - Stolychnaya, as it's lovely premium vodka and was my first grown-up spirit of choice. Happy, if somewhat blurred memories.
Rum - I prefer dark rum, personally. Something like Morgan's will do for me in the rum department.
Whiskey - I've always favoured Irish whiskey over Scotch, and I drink regular Jameson's as a normal tipple while opting for a bottle of Bushmills 10 year Old Single Malt for special occasions.
Incidentally, if a Brazilian EVER offers to make you a glass of 'Capeta' decline gracefully. It's a mixture of bottleg Brazilian tequila, vodka and Guarana and is quite the most lethal substance I've ever imbibed. It make traditional homebrewed farmhouse scrumpy look like shandy in the lethality stakes, and that's saying something.

Nice work indeed - I'm a bit of Banks loyalist, but it's difficult to quibble with a rum that's cleaned up awards as often as El Dorado. How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?
Any sign of XM in there as well. Found a place online, but a shop nearby would be very tempting.

That's a good price mate, with no massive premium over internet prices. Considering that El Dorado once won the (Wray & Nephew award) best rum category four times in a row and tonnes of other accolades it's actually never taken the piss when it comes to price. It's a great luxury rum. You'll have to remind me where Jerry's is to be sure, but that's a tempting local option.
Gawd only knows what the £260 and more bottles taste like. I've had a few glasses of the single estate/barrel variant, but that's less than half the price. Tasted great, but I'd be more than happy with XM 5 year old as an everyday rum, El Dorado or XM Royal as the sipping specials. Too rich for my blood - I've happy memories of picking up this stuff by the crate in Guyanese rum shops for comparatively sod all.

Gin-I don't really drink apart from in cocktails so have no preference really.
Rum-Havana Club, Mount Gay, whatever really apart from Bacardi. I tried some Sailor Jerry and it was gorgeous.
Vodka-I tend to buy Absolut or Smirnoff but I'll drink pretty much anything although I do get worse hangovers from cheap vodka I think.
Whisky-never drink it but I do like Jack Daniels which is bourbon isn't it?

Is so vanilla
Gin - tbh, I'm not fussy, I've never done a taste and compare test, so I'll drink whatever G&T.
Vodka - not really keen, but I've brought bottles of duty free Absolut pear and Absolut mango back for a friend who is the cocktail queen, I always bring back some random concoction when I'm passing through.
Rum - again, not really keen. I remember having some 70 proof stuff ages ago though, it was apparently the stuff that they used to dish out in the trenches in WWI before the men went over the top of the trenches. It had an effect on me like the Ready Brek kid, I sipped it and then I felt all warm inside and then felt that I was glowing orange round the edges. Good stuff.
Whisky - Laphroaig is my first preference, but I vaguely recall liking Ardbeg and Lagavulin and stuff as well, basically decent single malts.

Tea. Biccies. Happy now?
'Whiskey' is Irish, American or Canadian. (JC, you there man?)
'Whisky' is Scottish.
My fave is probably Caol Ila.
Gin is ok but it needs something in it.
Vodka is for drunks.
I aspire to good rum.
