    I'm not a whiskey person. I would not drink this. NO! I am more of a gin drinker. OH WELL! Better luck next time guys.

    I would never drink anything with whiskey in it. I would however drink a vodka and soda water with a twist of lime.

    I don't think this is a drink I would enjoy. I also must admit some of my answers aren't accurate as the choices weren't any I would normally make. Oh well!
