Some rums (and whiskeys) are meant to be mixed and NOT enjoyed neat.
When in a social situation like tonight with guests over, I typically want mixers.
Most of the times that I drink something neat are more contemplative such as after dinner or on the deck or in front of the fire - oftentimes alone times.
Guests or no guests, I'm not gonna mix something like Woodford Double Oaked or similar. Just saying.
Guests? It's usually beer time, or Evan/Cokes or 7&7s.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Yep. What I mix is not on that level, but it's far above rail or even Seagram's.
Trust me, I've learned to recognize the difference.
Have a whole shelf of stuff that I wouldn't mix.
Have several shelves of high quality mixing liquors. I like variety and I just won't settle for schwag anymore.
I think we are talking on the same level. I won't touch crap like Phillips and such, mixer or no mixer. And I admit to Seagram's in 7&7s. That's about as low as I go though. *tips hat*
