Something to fill their time, I guess. They're not that busy acting, after all.

Nose: Blasts out of the glass with the unmistakable sting of bargain-bin neutral spirits hastily dressed in faux bravado. Industrial ethanol leads, followed by artificial vanilla, spray-on oak essence, and a plasticky sweetness that suggests the “barrel” was more copolymer than cooperage. There’s a faint whiff of imported bulk alcohol: filtered, flavored, and shipped halfway around the world before being rebottled with a flag-heavy label and a chip on its shoulder.

Palate: Thin, hollow, and aggressively obvious. The base spirit tastes suspiciously like vodka that’s been lectured at about whiskey rather than properly introduced. Harsh alcohol heat is masked with synthetic caramel and liquid smoke, producing a flavor profile that’s less “aged” and more “assembled.” The oak note arrives suddenly and unnaturally, like sawdust dissolved in rubbing alcohol: loud, one-dimensional, and deeply insecure.

Finish: Short, bitter, and oddly sticky. The fake oak clings to the tongue alongside a chemical dryness, leaving behind the unmistakable sensation of having consumed something engineered rather than distilled. Any warmth feels less like maturation and more like inflammation.

Overall Impression: Tears of the Left is less a whiskey than a political prop: cheap foreign neutral spirit cosplaying as rugged authenticity. It trades craftsmanship for slogans, complexity for culture-war signaling, and aging for additives. In the end, it doesn’t taste like tradition or rebellion. It tastes like oak-flavored vodka marketed to people who think subtlety is a conspiracy.

Rob Schneider is.. A loser

I'm sad that Sorbo turned out to be a colossal prick. I wanted to like him because, despite having soap opera level acting, I enjoyed Hercules. I can't enjoy it now.

Never really cared about Rob Schneider, despite enjoying a movie or two once upon a time.

Speaking up about a difference of a opinion is one thing, even if your opinion is shit, but this isn't political opinion. They're actively trying to hurt people and encouraging it from others. This product doesn't bother me, but it does speak to their character. Like the product, their character is shit.

You know what's really funny?

Rob Schneider's most artistically relevant role was playing a homeless guy who gets arrested for stealing food in a fascist dystopia.

What a bunch of hacks, they should count their lucky stars, almost anyone could be a decent actor given the chance, they certainly couldn't do worse than these two losers.

Those fellows must have been seriously hurt by someone calling them names when they were young and impressionable. Smokey Robinson was closer to the truth with "Tears of a Clown". It applies to dipshits regardless of which hand is predominant. /s
