    In all fairness, Scotch can open up different notes and flavors with a bit of water/ice. If anyone wants Zima, we ask them politely, but firmly, to leave.

      Some (not all) Scotches can open up a bit with a little water, but would disagree about ice. You’re basically turning everything down with ice.

      BUT

      I think everyone should be allowed to order their whisky the way they like it and enjoy in peace. Ice, water, beer chaser, soda, whatever. I don’t care for those things but get as crazy as you want with no regrets.

      Zima is just malt liquor sprite.

      I’m gladly stand alone and say it’s “good” occasionally, the same way a 40 of Mickey is “good” occasionally. If you’re in the headspace, it will get you where you want to go.

        Wait, is Zima still available? I haven’t noticed it in stores in many years. But I also haven’t been looking for it, since I’ve found that I’m not a fan of malt beverages.

          Apparently not in the US, but it is in Japan.

          I think the closest thing to zima in the US now is Smirnoff Ice. I have to say it’s been a long while since I’ve had either.

      For me, Johnnie Walker is like that donkey that gets Homer Simpson into trouble. Don’t get me wrong; we have a great time together, but there are…consequences.

      Ahahahaha, it’s the old snob in me coming through, even though I don’t drink anymore. Yeah, I was quite…opinionated about things like stout mouthfeel (it has to be chewy or what’s the point) and IPAs being absolute ass.

        Ah, I’m more of the bitter (higher %) end. I’ve taken a liking to hazys lately. Big citrus fan.

          I quite drinking around the time fruit juice bombs where literally exploding on shelves and everyone was trying to convince themselves sours weren’t actual ass.

          I do miss talking about it all but I really don’t miss waking up on Monday wondering where my weekend went.

          My gripe was that IPAs had no subtlety in flavor, it was all hops. To each their own, there’s so many different types of booze these days. There’s just so much different stuff out there now. Citrus sounds neat, would probably be real nice in the summer.

          Hazys? Are you also a fan of diarrhea? That trend needs to die. How can anyone consume that much yeast and not have the shits?

    And for those of you that think you’re cool because you ordered a “hard seltzer”… you ordered an overpriced Zima.

    Lol what, scotch doesn’t even have fingers. It’s not a chicken.

    I do wonder what the Zima drinker’s sob story is though. Like, whisky is for numbing the pain, tequila is for numbing the brain, what’s the Zima trying to fix?
