i have been in miami all week and was drinking from day till night. my preference is jack daniels/rum.
i was also introduced to Chivas (scotch) +splash club soda/lime. it was a "chill" drink, but i'm not sure what to buy! http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/p-347-johnnie-walker-red.aspx?vid=497
long island ice teas are my shit to drink also, is this a bullshit buy ? http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/p-4351-captain-morgan-long-island-iced-tea.aspx?vid=4669
I'm whiskey/rum + coke guy!
i've always had my seagrams though with sprite, does it mix equally as well with coke as (jack daniels?) http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/p-1805-seagrams-7.aspx?vid=2095 which is a better tasting alcohol?
i cant decide.......

EDIT: Oh, and premixed drinks (e.g. LIIT) in general are a bad buy. And a nice bourbon will blow JD#7 or Seagram's out of the water. 
Buy a nice bourbon.
Good value: http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/p-1782-bulleit-bourbon-frontier-whiskey.aspx?vid=2072
Cheaper: http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/p-2317-wild-turkey-101-bourbon-whiskey.aspx?vid=2610
Cheapest: http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/p-3076-evan-williams-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey.aspx?vid=3371
Scotch is nice but terribly overpriced.
I'd recommend Laphroaig 10 or Glenmorangie 10 for good values.

I rarely agree with Pris#1, but I definitely agree with him here. Blended scotches are awful.
The only decent one is Famous Grouse, and I'd take a cheap single malt over that any day. Cheap being $30 or $40 in the wonderful world of Scotch.

"right, now here we have this mediocre batch of scotch, if we mix it with this really horrible scotch, slap a huge price tag on it and a little gold foil on the label, we can get rich and have a laugh at the yanks
We'll call it... Chivas Regal
we can get the crazy guy down the street to piss in the bottle, you knowm, that guy that thinks he's the king, anyway, we'll charge 8x as much and call it Royal Salut"

Well, it is a slight exaggeration.
But Macallan and Highland Park aren't going to supply their best barrels of 12 year aged scotch so that they can be blended into Famous Grouse. They're going to supply their younger barrels, their shitty barrels, etc. etc.
Then they will use the nicer barrels to release single malt scotches. So that they can proudly put their name on those scotches.

dont take everything so literal... it was a means of describing why it tastes so bad
everyone knows the toilets at the local pubs are pipped straight to the distillery

If you dislike that distillery fine, but making a sweeping generalization about why blended scotch exists is just spreading misinformation.
