I find it difficult to believe there's utility in enjoyment to justify the difference between a $500 bottle of bourbon and a $50 one - Reagen Dec 30, 12:48 18
- Tasting notes of cherry etc correspond to a range of amino? Much like audiophiles talk about speakers having siblings, rumble - zeitgeist Dec 30, 17:51
- There’s a really big difference between like $50 and $150 here. $50 will get you like a Monkey’s Shoulder, which is fine but pretty bland. - mafic Dec 30, 15:37
- Having had Johnny Blue, I can say it's definitely worth the price tag ($250 here I believe). - sycor Dec 30, 13:07 2
  - Ahh, I remember the halcyon days of the 2010s when I could get a bottle of Johnny blue from duty free in Hong Kong for like $100. - mafic Dec 30, 16:51

    - Heh. That sounds like the reaction I get when I try to explain my having a favorite vodka - JD Dec 30, 13:36
    - Cuervo is fine for margaritas. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 13:09 2
      - But you're not using $250 liquor as a mixer either -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 16:21
      - If you're mixing liquor into something, then sure. Neat or On the Rocks, the $50 will assuredly taste better than the $20. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 30, 13:12
