This is my buddy Jobie and me. We have the same birthday and without any planning or wish lists he ended up buying me Johnny Walker Red and I got him Bushmills. I guess I'm more of a bourbon drinker, I like Jack and Jim Beam, often mixed with coke or lemonade. I have barely made a dent in this Johnny Walker Red since October because it tastes strangely medicinal to me. I don't know how I'm supposed to drink this stuff. It makes coke taste like the dentist. I'm drinking it now with Limeade and it's tolerable. Any ideas? Anyone have a favorite JWR recipe? Is the Red kind of low quality and did I get the bad end of the gift exchange or is this a decent whisky and I just don't like it?
p.s. secret santa, no Johnny Walker Red, please.
