Well, there is something to say about a good whiskey. It smells like so many things, and tastes like many others.. I can just smell my glass all evening without ever drinking. It's usually expensive enough that I don't even have enough to feel it, and it lasts a long time (since I keep smelling.. ).

What you say sounds to me as if you've never tried chocolate (the good kind, not the sugary cheap one).

I can understand that point of view; I love the smell of a good cigar. I just won't smoke one for personal reasons.

And yes, I've had gourmet chocolate; I'm not sure what that has to do with alcoholic drinks.
