It goes without saying that the taste and enjoyment of bourbon is heavily affected by the context in which it is experienced. To drink bourbon, even a good bourbon, in front of a digital screen is almost an atrocity. One shouldn't combine the real (one's drink) with the simulated (let's say an episode of an otherwise pleasant television sitcom). The latter will rob the former of all meaning and coherence. Alone in a room with a text and perhaps some pleasant sounds, bourbon is enlivening. In front of a screen, one just drinks to get drunk.
Bulleit with a single cube (take that, snobs!). Pop, crackle...ssssssss. I turn on the computer and immediately negate my own philosophy.
