Warning: Rant Ahead

» What Does Watered Down Jameson Smell Like…

Dirty armpits. Yup, I’m sad to say but it’s true. Well, I’m not sad that it smells like that. I’m sad that I know what it smells like because there is no reason to know what it smells like. I don’t intentionally water down my Jameson. Yes, I like an ice cube and yes it will melt but people splash water in even the best whiskeys. This was no slight watering down to reduce the bite my friends, this was the dirty act of a shit-head bartender.

OK, it probably wasn’t the bartender’s fault. I’m sure this offensive directive comes down from management, so perhaps I should be referring to shit-head managers. The idea that the 400% markup is not enough makes me so angry. How hard is it to be a little honest?

This is a rare occurrence but having just experienced it forced me to vent. Jameson on the rocks $10. That’s about two shots for what buys you 1/4 of a liter at a liquor store. But I get it, I know a bar needs to make money. And hey, we’re all willing to shell out for it. So at least, please, give me what I pay for.
