I’m with you - I can’t stand sweet drinks of any variety. Blecch. Scotch is a truly gift from Heaven. Alternatively, I enjoy a classic dry martini: Hendrick’s or Bombay gin, 5:1 with dry vermouth; a dash of Angostura bitters, two big fat Greek olives and maybe a thin twist of lemon peel. My trick is to keep the gin in the freezer so that it does not dilute when you mix it with the vermouth.

I do love a good Scotch but my favorite 'adult beverage' is a good bourbon: "America's Native Spirit".

Of course the ultimate combination is Jim Beam Black neat with an ice-cold Shiner Bock chaser.

Gin is an aromatic, you get more flavor by cooling it, rather than chilling it in the freezer.
