sorry but that doesnt count.
i had [very expensive whisky] and it was very nice, but we're not making this into a price war;
"what standard, $10 cocktail made from yer ole juices, syrups and supermarket alcohol do you prefer" is the intended message.
ofc i had some Rare Malts bottlings of Port Ellen (17~23)so i'm all up for a "bestest whisky ever" battle; you'd lose.
i like a nice grasshopper when done right, but it's a cocktail that's *so* easy to get wrong, i'll settle for any martini, anytime.
