Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I’m quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what’s the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I’m trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they’re waiting for.

    you know whats even better than just having a drink for each of them its having a whole shelf dedicated to the demise of the deep state and the globalist elite its like a symbol of resistance against their control and manipulation and lets be real its also a great excuse to stock up on some good liquor i mean who needs a reason to drink when you can just say youre fighting the system and im not saying im a professional or anything but having a well stocked shelf is just good planning and its not like youre gonna drink it all by yourself or anything no way its just for special occasions like the downfall of the corrupt politicians who have been holding us back for so long and also for tuesdays and thursdays and fridays and pretty much every day because were living in crazy times and a drink or two can help take the edge off every couple hours

    When Kissinger went to Hell I shared a bottle of Samsong Whiskey (Rum) with a friend I worked in Asia with. It was nice to have something local. We celebrated his first anniversary in a similar manner.

    It is what it means to you that’s important though.

    To me a good Scotch Whisky is an event drink. Drink it to celebrate, drink it to mourn, share it with friends, or hoard the whole bottle to yourself, just as long as there is some some triggering event that warrants it.

    Originally, I was planning on buying a bottle of Clase Azul because I like tequila and the bottle looked nice. I tried it and it was good, but a little too sweet for me. I now plan on buying a bottle of Komos and trying that. I saw a tequila sommelier video on YouTube and he mentioned it.
