You have no idea how tempting it is to produce/repackage swill and market it aggressively to chuds. Just buy some mgp juice or some other bulk producer and spend most of your money on advertising. With toxic masculinity around the whiskey industry being what it is, if you manage to convince chuds that rotgut whiskey is actually good you will be flowing in cash. If I had the money to start my own facility I would do it in a heartbeat.

It's like how they sell anything to gamers by labeling it a 'gaming' device, adding a few rainbow LEDs, and upcharging by 500%. Same shit with chuds, slap some camo on it, market it for "macho manly alpha true Patriotic Americans™," throw an extra 0 on the price, and brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Nobody has marketed booze with an RGB bottle to gamers as a confidence booster yet. Package it worth a 3 ounce shot glass engraved with the ballmer curve and watch the money roll in.

Accessory includes a single bottle chiller powered by USB.

Deepfaking R Lee Ermey to say "good whiskey is supposed to taste like turpentine and if you don't like it that's because you're not MAN ENOUGH" and then watching the dollars roll in.

Just name each bottle after a confederate general.

  • Robert E Lee Whiskey
  • Stonewall Jackson Scotch
  • JEB Stuart Gin-

Also use the same whiskey but name the bottles after battles and cities the US won in the Civil War and WW2 and make them "collectible" so good patriots buy all of them.

A business idea that crossed my mind the other day was buying low/medium end olive oil and repackaging it with a cheeky label as "72 virgins" olive oil. Idk if this works better as chud antimuslim aesthetic or with ironic craft beer aesthetic but I'm pretty sure it would work

blend of straight whiskeys

I prefer gay whiskeys myself

$125

And it's not even a single malt. Maybe it's effectively a $10 bottle.

Ninja edit: Maybe it's a $12.5 bottle and they multiplied that by ten.

I made a blend of all the soda options at the fountain. Called it Uncle Sam's Tier 1 Operator Sniper Warrior Private Seal Reserve.

Bro, bro, bro. Listen, listen. Are you a woman or French? It ain't shit without the hard t.

In one of the clearly paid reviews that have been uploaded in the past 10 days, 3/4 of the video is him verbally kissing troops on the lips. He then actually drinks a tiny sip and there are like half a dozen clear editing cuts for him to say "wow. this is good. wow. they didn't oversell that at all. they really know what they're doing."

It's like the enthusiasm I'd show a child's painting when it's clearly shit.

I appreciate that it's the only comment.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I'm sort of amazed he doesn't have sockpuppet accounts. He's obviously a shill so why not?

I bet this whiskey tastes like hearing someone shout the n word

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

I can all but guarantee you they don't distill their own spirits and just bulk purchase from someone who actually does. The whiskey is more than likely "fine" because it'll taste like 80% of the whiskey on the market doing the same shit

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Sip this in honor of the boys dying in a helicopter crash.

Ok but have you seen the special PLA reserve Maotai editions

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Until around the early 2010s, the PLA had a whole bunch of side businesses like hotels (I think I still have an 八一 8/1 branded PLA hotel comb somewhere) because the state budget was focused on domestic development and there was tacit permission for the PLA to have side gigs to supplement it budget. That changed with the first wave of modernization reforms. These are probably a lot more modern than that but Maotai is a state owned brand so at least the proceeds are making their way back to the PLA in some way, whereas the American Whiskey is just a cashgrab.

[–] niph@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Oh no totally I just like Maotai and wanted to post the picture of the lil submarine

fellas, is it gay to like whiskey?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Only if you like a blend of gay whiskies.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know literally why it's clear, but what the fuck? Why is it clear? Be brown

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol it is brown, the whiskey has apparently been partially consumed and the remainder is level with the [ranger] part of the logo

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I.juat thought it wasn moonshine

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Why are these supposed Chads showing off that they couldn't finish their whiskey?
