Liquor I didn’t even know I liked

(Is there not an entire liquor section in this forum?)

I’ve always been a whiskey guy. Particularly scotch and bourbon. Not sure why but I just felt compelled to buy this Remy Martin 1738. Never delved into brandy or cognac but man…what have I been missing all this time??? It has an extreme version of that Christmas spice that I love in a good sherry bomb scotch.
Any other cognac/brandy recommendations? Particularly more affordable ones? Anyone else try any liquor they never cared to try and it turn out to be awesome?

Just tried Japanese whisky over the weekend and it was awesome. Liked it a lot better than bourbon, and on par with Scotch.

I tried some stuff called Soju, had never heard of it before, it's Korean, tasty & mean as hell.
I have a bottle that was given to me and will be taking it home.

I had always been a bourbon or whiskey guy, but had never had Irish Whiskey until we visited Ireland and I fell in love with it. I got into making cider to break my $100 per month Irish Whiskey habit, but still love a Whiskey Ginger once in a while.

Courvoisier is a nice and reasonably-priced cognac. You can usually find it for around $25. I like to sip one neat on a cool night. Hennessey VS is another one to try, but a bit more expensive.

I do like some pot-still Irish whiskey. Green Spot and Redbreast are in my cabinet. Bushmill's 10 year single malt isn't bad if you're more on a budget. Jameson is a little hard for me to choke down neat, but it's probably OK mixed.

As for liquor I never cared to try but turned out awesome...Alberta Premium whisky. I always pictured it as being cheap swill, with it being featured in Trailer Park Boys. It's not available in the US, but I had a dram at a bar in Canada last time I was there just before the pandemic. It's actually quite good. Next time I get to Canada I might pick up a bottle.
