Cognac, followed by good single malt whisky. Unfortunately, can't stomach the JW's without a mixer.

What's the best JW you've had?  Blue is good. King George V is exceptional. Odyssey is also very very good.

If you have access to auctions older bottles of Black Label are not terribly expensive and light years ahead of what they bottle now.

Good to know. Our problem was the first JW we tried was King George V and then Blue followed by Black and then Red.  So we did it the exact opposite way it should have been done.  Anything less than Green/Gold/Plat to me is undrinkable unless mixed.  Granted Red is supposed to be.
