My brother accidentally broke (more like destroyed but oh well) my nose as a kid when playing baseball and as a result I lost a lot of ability to discern smell and taste. I've tried so many wine, liquor, beer, and many more food tastings but it never really registers beyond what you'd expect when you lose that ability: salt, fat, the cool sting of liquor, fizzy, etc (if that makes sense).

I've bought some high priced liquors before and while my friends have been able to denote special things about them I just can't seem to; so, since I usually drink for a buzz anyway I've just settled on buying a 1.75L of 190 proof Everclear and water it down to 3L since it's essentially a more economic exchange anyway.

Silver linings...I guess.

I like sipping bourbon and rye whiskey, neat with maybe a splash of water.

My sense of smell is undamaged; I can taste some differences but a $75 bottle is not necessarily "better" than a $25 bottle to my taste. So I usually just buy the cheaper stuff.
