And if I ever saw anyone mixing my Grey goose with juice/pop etc….they would feel the wrath. It’s just wrong because there is a HUGE difference in taste and smell.

Why didn’t they ask me for the taste test? ;)

However, blind taste tests are more informative than my own non-blind perceptions, and they seem to indicate that differences in taste are more about expectations than what the tastebuds are actually doing. Of course, a writer having a few friends over isn't exactly scientific, so I'll wait for the peer-reviewed research.
