Why is whiskey called bottom shelf?
Excuse me, but could you please elaborate on the origin of the term "bottom shelf" when referring to whiskey? I'm curious as to why this particular phrase is used to describe certain types of whiskey, and what it signifies in the world of spirits. Is it perhaps related to the price point or quality of the whiskey being discussed? Or does it stem from some historical or cultural context that I'm not aware of? I'd appreciate any insights you might have on this matter.
