We went finished off 2 btls of Fireball last yr at camp. Mostly, I like real whiskey over ice or neat. But thats social drinking at a place where I don't have to drive. Normally, at home, I drink very little. I'm very good natured, peaceful,and quiet when drunk. I was raised by teetotalers, my wife by a a guy who got mean drunk on 2 beers. He's long gone thankfully, but the damage he did to his nine children continues down through the generations. Booze can be bad. Kay??
My big discovery is that if you buy a gallon of red wine, the first glass may be gross. My first glass of Carlo Rossi Reserve Merlot was rude, I could barely get it down. It has to breathe, just like the good stuff. Screw the cap back on. Let a few weeks go by. Store at room temperature. It will be vastly improved.
