Grain, water, yeast, oak. Ancestors nod. Liver files reports.

The Take

Whiskey posts a Slop Score of 14 because it sticks to grain, water, yeast, and oak with recipes that predate seed oils and dye stacks.

It is not healthy, but the four-ingredient purity beats every modern additive drink on the shelf.

The Verdict

Pair it with a cast-iron skillet steak for matching pre-1990 energy that doubles the based factor.

Buy it. Slop Score 14.
