Coke? Coke!?? Sorry for the hijack, but this urgent matter must be attended to.
DJ, since you're from Oregon and obviously inexperienced in this issue, let me explain. Take a glass tumbler. Fill it halfway with ice. Add 3 fingers of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. Drink in two long draughts. Repeat. Preferably this is done at home. On the front porch, in a comfortable chair. With a few good friends.
Unlike most scotches, Jack Daniel’s does not require water to release the aromas and tastes with overtones of oak, caramel, pecans, maple syrup, raisins, and citrus. If you must add anything, branch water is the only acceptable option. Anything else is blasphemy.
As you were.
