I was recently talking bourbon with a friend of mine, and mentioned, in passing, that Elijah Craig was my favorite. He made some comment about it being low-end and not that expensive. I had to come back with "I don't drink it because it's expensive; I drink it because I like it."
What's with people thinking that because they're drinking their whiskey out of a bottle with a wax seal and a fifty dollar pricetag, it somehow makes both it and them some sort of refined, gentlemanly item?
It's whiskey! It warms you up on a cold day and makes bad movies entertaining. They act like they've found a brand that tastes like liquid Klondike Bar or something. For crying out loud, let's be honest: You don't go to the liquor store looking for something that tastes good; You go looking for something that tastes bad in an interesting way! In fact, if you find something that does taste good, put that stuff back while you've still got the judgement to do so!
Sorry, just a rant I've had on my mind for awhile.
