    I'm sure there's some legal reason for this, but I really wish they would have shown the brands of these liquors -- especially that rum! If it can fool an expert for $24 a bottle I wanna try it.

    I think it would be fun to have a non-expert college student try to guess cheap vs expensive liquor. Experts have been trained to identify the subtle differences that indicate quality, but I would like to see how noticeable they would be to a layperson. Plus, I could a college student, like myself back in the day, taking a whiff of the tequila and saying, "Okay, this one is making me flash back to that crazy night on Spring Break."

    I once went to a whiskey tasting at a well-known Canadian distillery…at one point our host lined up a row of rye whiskeys and then asked us all to pick our favourite. Of course it unanimously was the cheapest, mass market one! I guess the more expensive ones were too challenging for our inexperienced palates.

    • @lostboy8084
      @lostboy8084 5 місяців тому +3

      Paying a huge amount for vodka is stupid as really you should just be choosing it for the material as potatoes and corn or grain vodka does at least make some taste difference not much but it does myself I prefer potatoes vodka but that is my choice other people may think differently. In fact there isn't much difference except more impurities would be removed so more smoothly texture and less harsher burning that of course is my opinion having worked as a bar back ( the guy that stocks the shelves at the bars and it does require some knowledge) and having tasted more than a few times cheap vodka and expensive vodka.

    It should be stated that there are really great products out there in the $20-$30 range. Just because they aren't $100+ doesn't mean they're low quality.
