New Drink Hunt: #1 Jack Daniels

I have reason to suspect that my long-standing sole beverage, Guinness, is bothering my insides. Furthermore, it is not getting me drunk. Over the coming weeks, I will be looking for a new beverage of choice. Having fallen out with All other 4-6% beers, and having no affinity with "grape-juice +" I will be sampling the more spiritual beverages. Candidate 1:

The Order: felt fairly manly and convincing, if a little hipster-ish. 7/10

Sniff-Test: smells comfortingly like something our old lawn mower might run on. 7/10

Initial sip: tastes uncomfortably like something our new lawn mower might run on. (Electricity). 4/10

Swallow: vague recoil. 4/10

Aftertaste: charred soil. 3/10

Booze-effect: heady already. 7/10

Manliness factor: good. I like being a dude with a stiff one in his hand. 8/10

Willingness to continue: None. I am unwilling. 0/10

Overall: 50%

A disappointing result. A drink I could have happily wielded regularly, had it not tasted like something uses in engineering.
