I don't like whiskey. Far too strong for me and I don't like the taste.
Lemonade improves it. Lemonade improves every alcoholic drink in my opinion.

No, WT 101 is terrible. WT in general is terrible. Everyone stop drinking it. I've heard rumors that the basic 101 line may become allocated, could you imagine? That undrinkable swill becoming allocated? Hilarious. STop buying it and making the demand outweigh the supply.Wild Turkey 101 on budget. WT Rare Breed is a good cask strength. Any others probably Old Forrester 100. So definitely 90-116 proof![]()
It's the same thing as buying juice concentrate vs. buying bottled juice, the more concentrated it is the cheaper it is to distribute the product.
Whiskey "marketing" doesn't follow the laws of economy of scale, but if everything were shipped cask strength (e.g. it could be written into law to make it mandatory), then everyone would just be saving money.
For the Bourbon industry all they'd have to do is take a vote on it with the existing regulators, the level of standardization they have is really admirable.I would love it if you were right. I’m gonna stop there.![]()
Regulations can be confusing. For flavoured whisk(e)y to be called that it must still be at least 40% abv or 80 proof otherwise it becomes a liquer or spirit based drink.Whisky, Scotch, bourbon, Irish, Canadian whisky, Japanese whisky... these terms were very confusing for me at first. For decades I never even paid any attention to these. But, I was surprised that bourbon and scotch were the only two with restrictions and regulations. Anything can be a whisky, and anything can be added. Hell there are cinnamon and honey whiskies.
I don't recommend Japanese whisky. I tried four of them. They were trying to recreate a scotch, but developed a throat napalm. I guess they like their burn in Japan.
I like Irish whiskies, or the few I've tried. But, like the term whisky here in the US, any old shit can be added to it before bottling.
