Im a beer fanatic.
As far as spirits, NOTHING beats a fine single malt scotch or even a good bourbon ie anything in the Van Winkle series.
My favorite Single Malts are Lagavulin 16yr & Highland Park 12yr.
In the coming weeks, Im going to buy a bottle of the Talisker 18yr and Caol Ila 12yr. Both of which I have yet to try. The Talisker 18yr was voted the best single malt in the world last year so we shall see. I just wish I could find a good bar which has this stuff on hand. It would still be expensive, but not as much as blindly buying a fucking $80 bottle.
