Making these work in whiskey & spirits

Shoot the pour close and slow. The color against a window and the legs in the glass buy you three seconds before you've said a word.
Name the proof, mash bill, and price on screen. Whiskey people stop to argue or agree with specifics; 'smooth' gets scrolled past instantly.
Take a side against snobbery or flipping. 'You don't need the allocated bottle' videos outperform reviews of stuff nobody watching can actually buy.
Never fake a reaction to a first pour. This crowd catches performed 'wows' instantly; an honest 'huh, that's hot' builds more trust than praise.
