True, those cocktails already popular like Bloody Mary is, have survived through generations precisely because of the perfect combination of their ingredients. Playing with changing one of them for another is valid, but you shouldn't expect to have a real Bloody Mary after the new mix...

Mixing certain cocktails with a given spirit has a reason to be, hence why today it's possible to study mixology, which provide people with the knowledge needed for those cocktail recipes we can find here an there. In the case of Bloody Mary, the choice of vodka isn't a caprice someone had...

However, Baileys is made from Irish whiskey and a cream based liqueur for the consistence it has as an Irish cream. I wouldn't say it is not tasty because on the contrary, it is probably the best whiskey cream. However, and aside Jameson and Bushmills, I have not tried any other Irish whiskey...

Ah! Thanks for the heads up @kgord! It's always nice get something in return from your favorite brands, but Ambassador programs are always quite appealing because having to provide participants with a matching status, use to be really good and quite rewarding.

And not just a nice Christmas gift, but a real opportunity because with the crowded stores is hard to shop around for a last minute present that this pack can easily cover.

Personally I'm more familiar with Scotch whiskeys that with American, Canadian, Japanese or even Irish when talking about production in Britain. So I can name many Scotch brands from the most prestigious such as Old Parr, Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, Black & White, Ballantine's and Buchanan's...

I used to collect whiskey (and other spirits) bottles with their precious liquid inside, not because I had a large budget to collect them, but because my dad used to give them one in every box of bottles he used to buy to gift their friend in special occasions. In the beginning, being still a...

Well, I'm feeling worrisome because it's likely I have to move out as soon as this year is gone. Having to pack everything, hire the moving service and find a new place to go, is not really funny, much less in these celebration days. However, and on the good side end, I feel the hope for a...

Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey is and independent and family owned whiskey distillery claiming to be... On this holiday season, a friend of mine invited me to join him in the adventure of visiting Denver from a different and unique approach; taking the whiskey tour at Stranahan. I couldn't go...

When I was a child, it wasn't socially reproachable give children some alcohol to taste, so my very, very first drink was probably at age 3-4 having someone giving me a sip of beer, which tasted horrible from my sense. I was later giving a small glass of eggnog in Christmas when I was around 12...

I used to drink beer on a daily basis, mainly with my main meal. However I'm actually drinking beer only in special occasions, when there is something to celebrate, or if any friend comes and invites me one. Usually I don't drink more than one or two.

As noted above, I had forgotten about Seagram's and don't remember to have heard anything of it or seen a bottle of this whiskey when shopping. So that, I made earlier a quick research for it, and the reason we don't see it anywhere is that the distiller company broke up and while the French...

As noted in another thread, my favorite cigars are Cuban made, hence my favorite brand has to be Cohiba. But there is a wide variety of great and traditional Cuban brands to choose from; http://www.habanos.com/en/ Having them delivered to the USA might be still a major issue, while they are...

Ah! I had forgotten about Seagram's. After your mention, old-time TV commercials came to mind, it was touted as a good whiskey to try when in doubt about choosing Jack Daniels or this one. However on those years the Scotch Passport was heavily advertised and I went for this, forgetting about...

I was talking to a friend this weekend, and he told me that most of the times you can get moonshine from someone who has a small home brewery/distillery at home, and usually bottled into unbranded large decanters or soda bottles. However he didn't tell me where to get it from o_O

I love the aroma of a good cigar, even if I don't smoke cigars nor cigarettes. However perceiving the strong aroma of cigars particularly Cuban Habanos, makes me feel invigorated many times.

Moonshine is either available in my area, and I just recently heard about it. However, and as per my understanding, moonshines are derivative liquors mainly distilled at home or in non-conventional production settings, and therefore they lack of the full process a whisky needs to mature. Even...

Personally I prefer Hibiki over Suntory, this latter probably more widely distributed globally, but Hibiki does not only preserves its quality flavor, but it's a more conceptual brand when it comes to honor whiskies made in Japan. This bottle is a proof of it.

Johnny Walker is a traditional brand with a long background story, and therefore most of their advertisements spin around traditional family/society values that make us stop and watch because both of these things are being lost; social values, and brands prestige.
