"I don't like malt liquor"
That is the statement I received when I tried to give someone a bottle of single malt whisky.
I am clearing out my liquor cabinet since I no longer drink. I was listing what I have to someone and they came up with that "I don't like malt liquor" statement when I mentioned single malt whisky. I tried explaining that it is not malt liquor but single malt whisky and gave some information on what single malt whisky is which went right over their head. "But I don't like malt liquor". I have a good idea of why they don't like malt liquor, but that belongs on some other forum.
They probably would have put the single malt whisky on ice or mixed with with some kind of soft drink like coke or 7up.
