I don't think this is sacrilege. If someone randomly is given a bottle of really expensive spirits the most likely consumption would be in mixed drinks. The stuff is like gasoline straight. To go further into the analogy, Japanese Olive Fed A-5 might be best consumed as a tartar or carpaccio...

No argument lol. Seems pedantic to me, but try it, and I promise it will be nice. I think this level of prescriptive consumption turns a lot of people off to high end booze. Again, you might enjoy fire water with only an ice cube. But I'd rather drink a top shelf Long Island Iced Tea or...

If I will consume good liquor, it will probably be in the form of a mixed drink. A $200 bottle of tequila doesn't interest me unless we're making Margaritas. A really excellent rum will be used for Mojitos or Cuba Libres. Just depends on the situation. If it is a great scotch/bourbon/whiskey, it...

I also prefer colorful Christmas lights to the "classier" all white tree lights. I maybe sometimes have "white trash" tastes. But those things are better when social judgment or pretense are not considered. Cigarette boats are better than sailboats. "Modern art" is garbage. And, in the same...

Hate all you want, but no cap, I kind of like well-done or medium well prime steaks. I know when in a "judged situation" to order medium or mid-rare, and they're all good. But I kind of like well cooked steaks with a great crust. I like Ruth's Chris and Luger's because the plate is so hot, you...

Old fashioned, mint juleps and Manhattans I don't consider real mixed drinks. It's basically straight booze. I prefer Crown for Whiskey Sours. To me tastes less crappy. I very infrequently drink liquor, but if I do, juice and/or soda will be involved.

You might be right. I don't drink straight liquor. Mainly because I'm not a pledge anymore. All the selections on my list make for fantastic mixed drinks. Try a Pina Colada with Ron Abuelo Centuria or a Margarita with Codigo or Patron Estate Release. Crown and Redbreast also mix much nicer with...

Bourbon is trash. Tastes dreadful and hard to mix. Don't know why the hipsters are pretending to be into it. I don't waste much money on booze anymore, but for special occasions things I like: Ron Abuelo Centuria Patron Estate Release Silver Captain Morgan Private Stock Crown Royal/Crown Royal...
