It may still be summer, but consumers are already able to get a taste of fall with new pumpkin spice-flavored products like Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Starbucks.
The difference (or lack thereof) between a 40 000$ bottle and a 40$ bottle really doesn’t matter for this argument. 40$ whisky clearly tastes different from vodka or 10$ whisky, and if you can’t appreciate that taste that’s fine (as previously mentioned, many long-aged spirits do taste bitter to me), but don’t make it out like people only drink 40$ whisky for reasons of prestige and marketing.
I don’t like any Johnny Walker, though, peaty whisky isn’t really my thing. We were discussing cask flavors, not smoke/peat flavors, right?
Maker’s Mark, a mass produced basic bitch bourbon, was initially marketed with the tagline “It tastes expensive because it is.” I say this as a whiskey drinker, it’s pretty much all marketing.

Why are you a whisky drinker if its all just marketing? Vodka is cheaper.
