Beer is the only pleasurable alcohol for me, especially after a long hot day outside. Drinking whiskey straight is not enjoyable on the pallet, idc what anyone says. That goes for anything like tequila, vodka, rum, gin, etc… if you gotta mix sugar and other liquids to make your drink taste good then it sucks to begin with. Now just cause it's not good on the pallet doesn't mean I don't do it.
