Added 2020-11-20 01:39:26 +0000 UTCLet's discuss some professional techniques for assessing the flavor and character of your whiskey, whether it's a $12 bottle of corn whiskey or a $500 rye aged 17 years. I also discuss the proper glass to use and the science behind why it works best.

Similarly, I have 4 rums: a blanco, a 7-year aged, a solera, and a navy strength. Again, pairing cocktails against each type would be interesting.
2020-11-23 16:52:43 +0000 UTCI have three-plus types of gin: a genever, an Old Tom, and two (London) dry's but with different flavor profile. A comparison of the differences between them, and your call on favorite cocktails for each type, would be a fun show.
2020-11-23 16:51:46 +0000 UTCI've got a Hibiki 17 Year, and a St. George 35th anniversary (unopened!) which are my two most interesting bottles. That Boss Hog is tempting.
