From now on, when I drink whiskey, I will ONLY drink breakfast of champions; Johnnie Walker Black Label. In honor or Hitchens! My mentor!

Just got myself a bottle to try it out! Of course my first sip is going to be a tribute and a toast to Christopher Hitchens who has imparted so much wisdom and intelligence upon the world! Here's to you Hitch, I'm sure you have convinced god into becoming and atheist by now!

Blended is for pussies, with all due respect to the late great hitch. Straight, bourbon whiskey. The one thing the us does right as far as alcohol goes

That feel when you're watching this while drinking JW Black.

Too bad he was not a marijuana smoker, he would still be with us now, although not himself, the drug of your choice has a lot to do with personality, and who you are, when you have a choice at least, weed is not much of a choice when you have to travel much to theocratic and absolutist states.

@warmongerpro Or people not stupid enough to spend copious amounts of money on their booze.

Never've tasted Black label so far. I've had Red, Green and Blue label. Gold too and even "Swing", but never Black.

I wonder what I'm missing.

LoL, you guys need to take in consideration he drank like a fish. I'm sure if he could he woulda drank the best top shelf liquor 24/7. As it was given budget, time and availability he seemed to prefer Johnie Walker black label. Its not that good of a whiskey though really, its not even the best Johnnie Walker makes. Don't be surprised to find its nothing special when you drink it, I'm sure he had better taste in whiskey than that. Not bad though for mass produced stuff

@Thezaurus17 I wonder why your comment was marked as an spam.
