Care to answer a few whiskey questions for the scene in my novel I'm working on right this second?
Sure...
Though I expect it's changed a fair bit in 200 years.
You want to meet the real me now?

You people are so judgmental.
You say judgmental, we say discerning.
Am sad now that I have finished my box of leonidas.

So, in looking for my bottle of PVA glue, I realized I have not just one, but two bottles of a product called Stiffy.
I kid you not.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is sad making.

It's totally sad making. So sadmaking that I'm so overwhelmed by the sadness that I can only sit here, rock back and forth and say, "knuffle bunny".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I want more chocolate, Kat. Leonidas sounds goooood. I think I'll make brownies tomorrow. For tonight, I'll go to bed.

Oh, no doubt. But I've only ever drunk the stuff as part of mixed drinks (mmm...whiskey sours). Which leads to my first question: what does the good stuff taste like? If a lady who was accustomed to drinking nothing stronger than wine were given some of her cousin's private stash from the family distillery (N.B.--must look up whether the family distillery would've been legal at this point in history), how would she react to it? And what would be an appropriate quantity of whiskey to offer someone unused to it if your goal was to help her bear up under severe stress (mostly emotional), but emphatically not to make her obviously drunk?
Thanks!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
a wee bit of bestiality, is that all it takes these days?Yeah well there was a bit of video from years ago on the internet (which obviously is for porn) that reentered my brain when you mentioned that bit. Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
I think I'm going to be weak and just download it from the ether in that way I shouldn'tWeak is good. Unless you are ita and making horse fellatio insinuations. And then weak is bad.
Stiffy.Must. Not. Make. Lesbian. Joke.
Or 12-year old joke.
Must remain silent obviously.

What Stiffy is. Lee (and, apparently Cass) get your head out of ita's brain.

Depends on the whisky, but usually it's a nice sort of smokey woody taste, with a strong bite and a hint of sweetness. To someone unused to it, there is a strong chance it would taste appalling.
I expect a single small glass of the stuff would be enough.
