She's very young and inexperienced, and while I think she's nice and surely did well in medical school, she doesn't make me feel reassured or like I've been in the presence of wisdom.
I hadn't really had whiskey until Alexis introduced me to it. Careful with scotch--if you get the cheap stuff (under 40 dollars a bottle) it can taste like liquid smoke. I like bourbon, which is a little sweet under the fire, and rye (which is kind of peppery and tastes real nice with ginger ale). Canadian whiskey is perfectly acceptable on a budget, even the kind that comes in a plastic bottle goes good mixed with coke or seven up. I've got no beef with Irish whiskey, but it doesn't taste much better to me than anything I can get for 2/3 the price. I also like any of the above plain on ice, but it took a while to acquire that taste.
Since you are a student of manliness, I can see you developing an appreciation of the stuff. I picture you with a bottle and a shot glass, drinking it neat.
