Ok, reading the KY or TN thread.
Why buy 101 whiskey, and water it down?
That's how they make 80 proof.
I like 101 Wild Turkey. Straight, or in iced tea or lemonade.
It's strong I get that.
But why do the aficionados insist they love strong whiskey, then cut it?
I not fighting here. If you like Shirley Temples, or guzzle 151 straight, I don't care.
But, what am I missing.
Water makes my strong whiskey taste bad. And then, there's more of it to drink. Batchy!

Good whisky "opens" with just a few drops of water added. It does not ruin it... adding several ice cubes on the other hand only makes it easier to drink by those that do not like whiskey.

Maybe I have tried too much water.
I do like it cold sometimes. But not on the rocks.

All alcoholic beverages taste like [bleep]. I like whiskey best. I like tequila too, but that's just crazy. Do whatever it takes to make it taste better.

I either drink it straight or once in awhile with ONE small ice cube. A touch of water opens up the flavor noticeably, especially with Scotch. JMO

Whiskey on the rocks is one of my favorite drinks. I guess I'm a wussy.

Shooting a 270 absolutely will! Yup. Yelling someone else how to drink whiskey makes you a wuss. I like mine with Coke. Even the good stuff.

Yup. Yelling someone else how to drink whiskey makes you a wuss... But ... but... telling someone else how to do something is the very soul of the 'fire.

There's your answer Dillon......look no farther. In my thread I specifically said a "splash" not "water it down". I do the same thing with 90 proof. I don't drink any 80 proof but not because I'm too good for 80 proof.....I just haven't found very many that I like.

If you were sitting in this 12x12 butt hutch with me right now, with this front coming through. 80 proof would be just fine.

No doubt......back when I used to think setting in a Duck blind on a cold winter day was a good idea 70 proof Black Berry Brandy was "just fine". Like I said earlier I don't look down my nose at anyone's choice in alcohol but I do occasionally find humor in it.
