What (if any) difference is gained from shaking an alcoholic drink vs stirring it?

Question

You know the classic James Bond line “Martini, shaken, not stirred” is there an actual difference in the taste of the drink from shaking it vs stirring it?

Answer 1

There’s a theory that Bond wanted his martini shaken because it would dilute the drink more, and he didn’t want to get drunk on the job. But there’s still the same amount of alcohol either way. Lol
