    It was a timely idea though - I bought a bottle of expensive whiskey to see if I like it. Apparently I’m not a whiskey person. But I like “… with coke” and wasting an expensive whiskey on that is better than an expensive whiskey rotting in my closet

      Fresh pineapple juice and any sort of whiskey, I have never had that go wrong. Splash of whiskey in pineapple or splash of pineapple in whiskey. With smoky scotch, with rye, with bourbon, every variation I have tried has been so good.

      I like good whiskey but only after it is diluted in some way - straight it just overwhelms my palate and I can’t taste it well. I need it stretched with water at least.

      And whatever I have I put in cocktails. I do agree you don’t need top shelf but disagree on it doesn’t matter at all, I have had some terrible well drinks that were bad because bad whiskey.
