    Speak for yourself, every once in a while I absolutely love the mouthfeel of good >50% booze. But also, alcohol is literally poison, so it’s not particularly surprising that a lot of people don’t like it in high concentrations.

        Sure. Still good. Add stomachfeel for good measure. Part of the trick is to be really careful to not let it hit your windpipe, and to take small sips instead of trying to drink it all in one go.

            Depends. If the spirit has some harsh edges, letting it sit in a glass or decanter for maybe 30 minutes can improve the experience.

              I’m saying in your mouth, while you sip it.

              If you do that you’ll get all the burn and none of the flavour.

                Whatever you’re doing with wine in your mouth isn’t called “aerating”, that’s something you do in a decanter or glass.
