Shouldn’t “American Beer” be closest to water?

The answer is always Whiskey, and your welcome.

True, but some of the small craft breweries don’t believe in the ‘all the hops we have’ theory.

I like it, but it’s pretty obvious to me that a peated scotch should have comparable amounts of fire and “earth”.

Interesting how all my favorites (B&B, Drambuie, etc.) fall in the color range of blue/indigo/purple.

I would’ve placed pisco and grappa more towards the fire corner.

I believe that Watney’s Red barrel is less like water and more like sewage.

What kind of Tequila is this guy drinking, he’s got them backwards, “reposado” is a lot smoother than “blanco”, Sure, “reposado” is smokier because it takes on the flavor of the wood but “blanco” is the one that actually burns.
And no, a good tequila should not burn, the more it burns, the cheaper it is.
Otherwise this is pretty cool.
*Disclaimer: Not all tequila is the same, if all you’re drinking is Cuervo you may get the wrong impression of what a good tequila shoud taste like. Cazadores is a good, relatively inexpensive tequila that’s a better reference.
