I highly recommend Laphroaig scotch whiskey for your purposes, John -
It has a nice smokey flavor that reminds me of riding through Toltec Tunnel #2 on Rich Muth's Golly-Gee-Olo-Gee Train . . .
If you can't afford Laphroaig, then I suggest a bottle of K.B. Hall's 'Old #500 Industrial Strength Red Table Wine' at $4.95 - double the price and half the quality of Two(-fifty) Buck Chuck from Darth Trader's. If you're REALLY desperate, let me know by next week and I'll do my best to brew up a six-pack of GRAMPS Chromo Crude Triple Chocolate Stout in time for the October Specials.
