And I'm saying that I disagree with that mentality. Should you have production bottles of cheap crap on hand? Absolutely, it's the smart thing to do.
But people that drop several thousand to stay in a nice lodge and have somebody take them to stand in water and fish aren't the type that are going to take a Stagg or Pappy and mix it with coke, they are the type that enjoy a good whiskey or scotch (no such thing IMO, but others disagree with me) and smoke cigars. Hell, that's part of the experience as much as fly fishing or whatever else is included is. I think you underestimate what the bourbon and scotch market is.
And if you have a barkeep, and somebody wants a mixed drink, you aren't pouring it with whiskey from a $200 bottle of bourbon either - that's where your crap liquor comes in.
