Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Bourbon,
Hat:
I don't think such a gin even exists, to be honest.
It's just a bad idea!
Inlander:
Oh, it exists.
Not in Australia any more though, sadly, ever since the importer decided to stop importing it. But I've still got half a bottle and I'll guard it with my life!
KharBevNor:
Jesus, I never thought I'd see people being such fucking snobs about gin.
I mean good grief.
It wouldn't be so ghastly if I didn't have a fair idea most of it is class pretension. Like Inlanders friends who 'don't drink gin', only you guys have allowed yourself to drink gin by making sure you get more expensive or obscure varieties.
Inlander:
No Khar, it's just that some gins taste like shit, and some don't. Like pretty much any alcoholic drink. And like most spirits, the better stuff is generally also the most expensive, and because it's more expensive, fewer people buy it, and because fewer people buy it, it's not stocked by as many bottle shops and is thus more "obscure".

This is for those of you who didn't want to read through Tommy's novel back there. This is also the point I wanted to make for those of you who keep saying things about Jack Daniels and Makers Mark and calling them bourbon when they aren't, because you are dumb.
This is also to derail the shit about gin, because gin is gross unless you like drinking paint thinner.
Edit: I am particularly prejudiced against gin because I don't like mixed drinks. That is, I don't usually do mixed drinks, so actually it is probably because I haven't had any good ones [that involve gin]. All the martinis and gin-and-tonics and gimlets [and most of all the other mixed drinks] I have ever had are absolutely horrifying to the tastebuds, and I will not even start with what it is like straight up.
