Well, I will add more...

Bad vodka, bad rum, bad whiskey...

But is there a 'good' liquor that shouldn't be drunk straight?

I initially read the title as
"List of liquors which should not be drunk"

I think I liked it more that way.

Gin - unless you are female and over 70 years of age.

Martini by definition are not "straight" gin - as vermouth is part of the drink, as is usually ice in the shaking process.............

Martini

Straight gin

Straight gin If teh gin is good enough, you can skip teh vermouth.

And liquor can be chilled over ice and still be "straight."

Just out of curiosity - what sm Scotch do you order ? It depends on the type of establishment I'm in. Most bars in the US don't carry single malt Scotch unless you're in a big city or high end place. The single malts offered are often just the biggest brands like Glenmorangie or Macallan. Now if you're in a big city and in an upscale place (or even just a well stocked British Pub) then you can find a wider selection including bottles from small or family owned places. Right off the top of my head I can't think of the names.

I do remember when my dad's Uncle & his cousin (my dad is from Scotland but his parents brought him to the US when he was young) came to visit us. They brought a bottle Dalwhinnie 29 year old as a gift and that stuff was liquid gold. I haven't had any since though given that it sells for $300 a bottle here in the US. More often if I want a Scotch I'm forced to get a blended (but still quality) Scotch like Johnny Walker Black Label or Blue if it is a more posh club. That suits me well enough most of the time.

Oh the stories I could tell (and most of them reasons NOT to drink it!)

[estuapped]

Most of the whiskey market in the US gets taken up by bourbon whiskey which is the traditional American version of whiskey. Irish and Scottish Whiskeys are popular at pubs for each respective group plus most bars at least stock a few mass market versions of each.

Scotch seems to have much more cache here then Irish Whiskey or domestic Bourbon Whiskey and so is able to command higher prices for similar quality. Yuppies have especially bought into the idea of high end limited edition Scotch Whiskeys, taking vacations in Scotland along the Whiskey Trail, and treating Scotch like wine connoisseurs treat fine wines. This increased demand for quality has really brought up the price of single malt Scotchs in the US and the domestic bourbon makers have been eager to follow suit.

In the last 10 years there has been an explosion in micro distilleries making high end bourbons often from family recipes which are hundreds of years old, made in small batches, and sporting labels crowing about vintage years and extolling the uniqueness of their water/malt/maker/etc. Quality wise the best domestics can run with the best Scotchs though price wise I'd say Scotch still can command a bit more. The brand Marker's Mark was the first of the new American high end whiskey brands but now it seems America's traditional whiskey regions are crawling with new specialty distilleries of all sizes.
