People that drink whiskey straight, why lie to yourself?

I mean, at least put some water or ice in there to open it up. Sipping a good bourbon/whisky straight is pretty dumb.

Agreed. Give me a Crown ‘n coke and I’m good. Usually what I order when I take the ole lady for date night to Texas Roadhouse. You think I’m going to listen to her drama about the other receptionists sober?

Just put in a little splenda

Half gallons of Old Crow cost $100 now? fricking inflation.

I think it's all about what one likes. I've never cared for bourbon. Or any kind of whiskey for that matter. Occasionally will shoot some tequila, as long as it's a premium brand. Generally I'm strictly a beer drinker (no Bud Light). But I know plenty of baws who would rather sip whiskey than drink beer.

Refuse to believe people can enjoy sipping this shite unless its mixed in coke or sprite.

See, you’re supposed to do this troll by being overly snobby, especially on this board. But being overly pedestrian in your tastes is one way to go too I suppose.

why as an adult male, would i drink something i don't like?

I don't like watered down whiskey. I like my whiskey and my scotch neat.

mixing whiskey with coke or sprite is what a kid does. Either drink it on the rocks, neat, or go drink a Zima insted.

Sipping whiskey is one of my few real pleasures in life. If do it every single day. I have toured distilleries in Scotland and Kentucky and sought out strange and unusual distillates to find what I think is the perfect flavor profile.

Many people do the same thing with wine. But wine sucks. I bet you like wine. You sound like a woman.

Adding cokes or mixers makes it too sweet and syrupy.

You have to realize we're dealing with a generation or two of man-children. They won't drink coffee unless it's a frappuccino. They play video games and collect funkopops. Of course they want their liquor to taste like a child's soft drink.
