Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they're expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.

Countless times i've been offered drinks that "taste good", or that "you can barely taste the alcohol" and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there's a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.

No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you've already taken a dump on it.

I can definitely see how you would feel that way, but for me, there's definitely a whole world of depth of flavor brought out via fermentation, which includes alcoholic beverages. I don't personally care for the alcohol content usually, but the flavor is truly unique and can be special.

Hard disagree with whiskey.

How you gonna say wine and coffee then be hyper specific with what liquor? Just say liquor.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's just as much variation in whiskey as there is with wine and coffee, honestly.

I mean there's just as much variation with gin, and gin is my s tier liquor, but it's not everyone's. That's my point.

Sure, I was just giving my S tier as well.

Ohhh, ok i misunderstood then, mb thought you were saying it should be everyone's

I have every confidence this is a gigabrain take that everyone will agree with

grappa should have its own sub-basement-shit-tier as both a liquor, alcoholic beverage and beverage in general.

fuck grappa. all my homies hate grappa

[–] Kittenstix@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

But im sure there are people out there that would put grappa as their s-tier liquor, ultimately that was what I was trying to say, that by putting liquor as s-tier everyone can put their favorite in that slot.

I have had grappa that sent me to another planet for the depth of flavor. I have never been able to actually find a bottle of good grappa and have long since given up. But I know that good grappa does exist
