That’s the art of blending, in’nit? Taking two or more bad tasting whiskies (or whines for that matter) and blending them into something better than any of them tasted alone, though never anything a connoisseur would enjoy.

I find that adding a 1/4 teaspoon of bourbon to an inexpensive red wine (e.g., Trader Joe's three-buck chuck Cabernet or Merlot) gives it more "character".

Of course nowadays wineries are selling red wine aged in recycled bourbon casks.
