Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I’m quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what’s the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I’m trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they’re waiting for.

    When Kissinger went to Hell I shared a bottle of Samsong Whiskey (Rum) with a friend I worked in Asia with. It was nice to have something local. We celebrated his first anniversary in a similar manner.

    It is what it means to you that’s important though.

    To me a good Scotch Whisky is an event drink. Drink it to celebrate, drink it to mourn, share it with friends, or hoard the whole bottle to yourself, just as long as there is some some triggering event that warrants it.

    Originally, I was planning on buying a bottle of Clase Azul because I like tequila and the bottle looked nice. I tried it and it was good, but a little too sweet for me. I now plan on buying a bottle of Komos and trying that. I saw a tequila sommelier video on YouTube and he mentioned it.
