Default Liquor you think is overrated

I feel that Grey Goose and Patron are overrated. Don't get me wrong, they're absolutely awesome products but I feel there are better vodka's/tequila's for the same if not less money. They just have good marketing and they're in rap videos so......

Ketel One > Grey Goose and still 10 dollars less.

Cazadores > Patron

What products are out there that you guys feel is all hype/price?

I agree with you about the Grey Goose.

Hands down Grey Goose Stoli imo tastes superior, and at a superior price.

Patron is a fantastic tequila, but usually is cost prohibitive for me. 1800 usually makes a decent substitute.

Hrmm... over rated liquor.

Grey Goose takes the cake for me in vodka. If you're willing to pay a premium price for vodka, go with Ciroc or even Pravda.

Tequila would probably definitely be Patron. I used to love this stuff, back when the only tequila experience I had up to that point was Cuervo and Three Fingers. Gran Centinario is one of my favorite tequila's and usually at a cheaper price.

Scotch, I will probably have to go with Johnnie Walker. The line up is well respected, but I can't understand paying such a premium price for blended scotch. Give me a good single malt like Glenlivit or Glenmorangie.

I think hypnotiq is extremely overrated, but it sells. I mean for as much as you pay you should be able to get drunk.

Girls do love it though..

Vodka in general. If I wanted my drink to have no taste, I'd drink water.

Ehh it's hard to say. Judging by strictly just personal taste . . . I find Malibu rum so overrated it's amazing. It's . . . ugh. But I will say though, I haven't seen it around in a while, i.e. friends buying it, people ordering it in drinks, etc.

Yes

and if I can go to my grave with at least two satisfactory reasons how the girls-liking-it thing can be explained, I'll die a happy Mootch

It just doesn't make sense

No wussy, but Maker's Mark is a fine bourbon IMO.
