I've been drinking Gran Legacy whiskey for a few months now, saving my Knob Creek for a special occasion. Tonight I took that first sip of Knob Creek and....
it tasted like shit.
My taste buds have become acclimated to the bottom shelf swill.
It's all right though. That was just the first sip. I'm sure I'll reacclimate in the next few minutes or so.
But it was a bit of a shock to sip from a $60 bottle of whiskey and go, "blech."

Ah, there we go. Sip number six went down great. That 120 proof warmth is hitting the spot now.

Someday, young sailor, you will resort to gargling booze shots in order to get that burn. Enjoy the burn. Yes indeed.
Or course, more genteel is to sip it with a single rock. The frozen water sort.

Yeah, all the jumping back and forth confuses the tongue I guess.
I used to live off of wolfschmidt vodka, then I made the mistake of climbing the ladder in "quality." Now Wolf tastes like burning baby faces.
Take this as a lesson kids: Don't fly too close to the sun, or the porch lights.. or head lights. Hell just bury your head in a hole in the ground with a six pack of something grimy and tell 'em I said, "fuck em all!"

I've told ya all before, start with the expensive stuff first. 3 to 6 drinks in switch to the cheap shit. Your tastes buds don't care by then and you'll retain the love of the good stuff.

Re: Something funny happened on the way from drinking rotgut
yeah defo best shit first...i do it with everything..beer included. i usually keep at least a case of cheap shitty beer around just for 1am onward swills. by that point your wasting the good shit i recon. I once cracked open a 5 year old magnum of chimay blue at like 4-5am after an all day/night drinking session in town...came down the next day to the bottle being open, flat and nearly full with a half hearted attempt in a glass next to it.
i probably didn't even enjoy the few sips that i dont remember. would have been too big a beer for me at that stage in the session.
by the time i'm 10-15 drinks in i honestly am not gonna care too much what i'm drinking...vermouth and cat litter daiquiri? just so long as I've got a chimay chaser!
