I realize this makes me superficial, but I guarantee there's a guy working at Four Roses who gets paid to think about guys like me, and I guess all I'm saying is that guy should be fired.

If I may, a $25 a bottle isn't exactly premium, but rather what I would think of as work-horse, nothing special branding. If I buy a bottle of Jameson or Stoli (which I general keep in stock), I don't go around congratulating myself for having made a discerning choice.
