AD Tasting Session – Selfbuilt's Whisky Analysis

As a palate cleanser between whiskies
To heighten / help identify specfic flavours in the whiskies
To add to the whiskies to sweeten them
To be used after we are done, so that although my actions may indicate that I am drunk, my breath will not
To help hide the sound of liquids in the box during shipping
To represent the diversity and flavour of the AD group
To illustrate that sucking on Tic Tacs while drinking whisky is not recommended
To play a Tic Tac "tag" game by blowing them through the straws
To create a mad science experiment, watching them "fizz and pop" in high-proof alcohol

To be used like chopsticks, removing any Tic Tacs that may have fallen into the whisky
To help stir the Tic Tacs, mixing them into the whiskies
To drink the whiskies more quickly and get drunk faster
To help aerate the whiskies, by blowing air bubbles into them
To pipette the right amount of water into the whisky (i.e., a "wee drop")
To stick up your nose, so you can inhale more deeply into the whisky glass
While straws all serve the same purpose, the different colours we received symbolize that similar roles can be accomplished by different types of people, just like the AD group
The second straw was included so that the first one didn't feel lonely and left out
Alternatively, the second straw is there to share sips with a friend
To demonstrate that you need to get your nose involved in the tasting experience, as drinking whisky through a straw is gross

To trick us, to see if we can tell it is not whisky. Perhaps theTic Tacs are a clue to the mystery whisky – is it “Tic-tacs and tar-mac” per chance?
You added this because you are super kind and wanted us to try another whisky
To test what we’ve learned, to see if we can identify it after the tasting session (i.e., belongs to one of the regions we are trying)
Alternatively, perhaps it is something atypical, or from an unorthodox producing region?
The label peeled off your bottle and got lost, so you are hoping we can identify it for you
It symbolizes the essential mystery of humanity, like whether we can ever truly know the hearts of our fellow ADs?
It is your home brew moonshine
It is a blended whisky representing the complex make-up of the AD group.
It is a bourbon, and you will ask us to put a few Tic Tacs in the straw to create some interesting 'mint julip' / martini type cocktail
