Mojito while watching BBC Earth dvd.

Mr Powers, no worries that I might be reduced to the Four Roses "Blended Whiskey." I learned that lesson more than 40 years ago, a lesson which made a confirmed beer drinker of me for years afterward. Now that I have the opportunity to try the unadulterated Four Roses products I am even more disgusted with what they do to arrive at the rot-gut version. The rumor mill has it that it was Seagrams, which bought out Four Roses after the war, and then set about to turn people off the competition for it's own excellent Canadian Whiskey by creating the blended abomination and, in effect, ruining the reputation of the brand, at least in the USA, for over 50 years. Apparently what happens is that the product is cut with "Neutral Grain Spirits" (read that as white dog aged 4 hours). The finished product is a firey mess with all the appeal on the palate of castor oil. The Small Batch version of the good stuff, on the other hand, seems to me to be sort of Elmer T Lee like. Now, off the soap box.

I bought a bottle on a recommendation and have to say, I was disappointed with it.
tasted like watered down coca-cola.
Might not be the cork, might be the bourbon.
