Like my grandfather (the man who taught me to drink whisky) said, “ if it’s good enough to drink, why mix it at all? If it’s not good enough to drink straight, why drink it at all?” :)
The apple is the only one I've ever tried. Was at a dart tournament over the weekend and the girls were giving samples of Crown Apple and cranberry. Was pretty good.
I'll have to stop and get a couple small bottles and try them out. Reg and apple....
I am a straight up guy but will admit that I've had a hot toddy or 2 with Crown Apple that was killer for a cold high school football game. Best served in a Starbucks travel cup (to keep warm)
Unless you are buying crown black or better, I would consider it mixing worthy. I'm not a big crown drinker but I always had coke with it.
These days if I mix whiskey, I mix it with sprite or ginger ale. Although, if it's high end whiskey, I won't mix anything with it. About the best whiskey I will mix with is bullet.
I Bartender and Bounced when I was young and full of PI$$ and Vinegar. I tried a large variety of Whiskeys, some Great some Paint Remover. My favorite...JAMESON....JJ
SDK, I know a couple who mix Crown apple with cranberry juice on ice. I find the stuff repulsive BUT love Crown(regular) on the rocks. Mix is for rotgut to hide the taste ! :)
I'm not a fan of any of the flavored liquors. My favorite Irish whiskey at the moment is Kilbeggan with one rock.
I keep cheap stuff on hand to use in BBQ sauce. Every once in a while I get in the mood for a mixed drink. Out comes the cheap whisk(e)y, scotch, bourbon, or brandy to mix with Canada Dry ginger ale and a lime squeeze.
