    I’ve always preferred straight alcohol. I never get why so many people are unable to drink it.

    Like… It’s strong. That’s the point. Yet still, one sip of your drink and they have to make a big thing out of it. It’s not a blended sugar drink, lol. It’s like an espresso… Brace yourself for flavor town and take a SIP.

    Maybe don’t drink shit whiskey and try a good bourbon instead?

      And the amazing thing is you don’t need to pay a premium for the good stuff compared to Scotch.

        Any suggestions? I tend to shy away because of how expensive they can be.

          Plenty of good cheap bourbon out there:

          Cheapest, but very drinkable:

          • Evan Williams
          • Very Old Barton

          A little more expensive, but amazing:

          • Buffalo Trace
          • Four Roses
          • Basil Hayden
          • 1792

      Oak contains vanillins and wood sugars. French oak tends to taste a little bit more spiced and American oak tends to be a bit more sweet.

      When making my apple mead, I always add French oak while maturing, and it makes a huge difference in taste. I add it mostly for the tannins though (the bitter part of tea), which gives it more “chew” (like the difference between white and red wine).

    I think I would unironically like this. I mean Bourbon is OK, but its not the mash up of chicken and burning promised above.

    From someone where poor alcoholics drink Listerine to get drunk despite how hard it is on their body, it is nothing like bourbon and a scourge on humanity. My city took it off of user shelves and behind the counter at stores and pharmacies until lobbying got their way.

    Oh and btw it only works short term and doesn’t even cover half the causes of bad breath.
