Pour something else over it. Call it ‘a blend’ it’ll be trendy before you know it.

May try it with sweet vermouth to see if I can cover the yuck!

Bought some Leadslingers Fighting spirit Rye whiskey................ Really want to like it but this stuff is to sweet , no pepper and can't even be made into an Old Fashion!! Oh well, all is not lost I picked up a bottle of Stolichnaya 100 proof and the vodka tonic is hitting the spot!!

Well I lied , I made an old fashion but it sucked so I dumped it down the drain!! I know 'abuse ' but it was nasty and I am not that poor lol!!

As much as I wanted to try and support Leadslinger I read too many bad reviews about all their whiskey offerings to spend any of my tiny liquor budget on them.

This is what I do with bourbon that I don't like well enough to drink neat...I haven't tried it with rye but there shouldn't be much of a difference...

I pour it directly over coffee grounds using my Mr. Coffee, with it turned off of course.

I use the same amount of coffee as I would if I was making a full pot. If you like coffee it makes a pretty good infused sipping whiskey.

I hate coffee, wife loves it, this solution is interesting/ingenuity,. I am not keen on anything mixed, I used Arizona Arnold Palmer with the Leadslinger and that was ok though.

I used to try all kinds of things to make bad bourbon drinkable.

I even made some bacon bourbon and some smoked brisket bourbon. Both of them turned out pretty well but the coffee infusion was the easiest and the best tasting to me.

I have a $10 bottle of bourbon that was given to me recently that is okay neat but it's just not my thing so I will probably end up making coffee whiskey with it.

20 oz Hillbilly Bloody Mary...

2 oz EC (EverClear), large dash of Worcestershire, 7-8 shakes of Tabasco, then filled up with V-8 juice (which already has celery).

Sort of a "drink yer supper" type thing...
