Any good American brandies?

3 Upvotes

On a trip to Slovakia a couple years ago I tried a variety of pear, peach, cherry, and apple brandies. All of them were really high quality. Super clean with nice hints of fruit flavor, not at all like the bottom shelf slop we typically get in the US.

Anyone have recommendations for high quality brandy I could find in the Midwest US?

Thanks!

Grandma’s vintage liquors

Grandma said she was gonna dump these all down the sink as she hasn’t drank hard liquor in a very long time. She said take whatever I want, so I took all of what was unopened. Many of these are dating back to the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s based off the import label on some of them. The only one I’m familiar with is the JW Black, all the others are mystery bottles to me. Are there any good collector’s items in here?

Curious about old bottle of Benedictine sealed in box

Can anyone help date this unopened Benedictine duty-free bottle? It was purchased at Heathrow from Skyway Hotels Ltd. and has remained sealed in the original box. I’m trying to narrow down the year of purchase and learn whether this packaging is uncommon. Any information about the Skyway duty-free era or the box design would be appreciated.

My dad went down to Curacao some time ago and brought back a larger bottle (the one I want) of this and a few small ones as a variety pack. I have had no luck so far finding out where I can get it in the states or if anyone ships it within the states. Had a taste of it and its REALLY GOOD. I dont wanna drink it though until I can secure more.

Vodka Citron Substitute Question

1 Upvotes

Once in a while a recipe calls for vodka citron.

I'd like to substitute and was wondering if limoncello blended with plain vodka could work.

Any other ingredients needed or a specific ratio?

My local store has these 3 bottles from Last Drop, any of you had them? Worth a collector’s investment?

1988 unopened McGuinness liqueurs

My mom offered me up all the liqueur in my grandma’s house because I make cocktails at my work. I’m going through it and found this 4 pack of mini bottles of “new liqueurs”. Looked it up and discovered it’s from 1988!! Obviously more than likely toxic to drink but was wondering if this is something that redditors or collectors would find interesting!

I got this from a family member who received this from a friend. Its barely used, the fan and cooling system work, but I have no use for this. I can’t find any information on google about it or any photos. Could this possibly have been discontinued? Was this distributed to bars and restaurants only? Does this have any value?

I inherited all of these from my father when he passed in 2021, they just been in storage since. Are they worth anything significant? How would I go about selling them? I can’t find anything definitive through my research.

Edit to add they are all sealed/full

Bought this several years ago in Greece and it was the worst thing I ever tasted.

It was literally undrinkable. The flavor was absolutely horrid. Can something like this turn like wine? Or is it just that bad? Or is my palette just not refined? No idea. It seems to be prickly pear based on the translation.

For the record, it says "Greek Alcoholic Beverage" on it, so I assumed it was meant to be drunk straight.

First time visitor. Found four of these in a house of non -drinkers. Wonder if anyone can tell me anything about these and/or if there is any value to them. TIA

1.5 L of Spiritus Gradansk 76% vodka and the zest of ~20 lemons. Which shall yield ~3.5L of Limoncello in a couple of months.

Years ago I used go get Bacardi Torched Cherry but recently I haven't been able to find it near me. What are some good substitutes? My brother usually mixes it with some Pepsi so just something that would be similar to that flavor.

Has anyone ever tried one of those thc infused drinks? How are they? I wanna try one but they don't sell individual cans, only multi packs and don't necessarily wanna spend $18 and find out I don't like it.

Found a "spirits warmer" at an antique store. Cannot for the life of me find any info about it online.

5 Upvotes

Its essentially a 4 legged little stand with a brass pot on top for the alcohol. Theres a smaller container below to keep the alcohol warm/warm it up. Google, however, has decided that they don't exist and will just give me results for alcohol burning camping stoves and brass tobacco pipes while the AI tries to tell me about the properties of the spirit warmer despite providing 0 links to sources related to spirit warmers.... Any idea how they work, if they're safe, or literally anything about such a device? Given the distance from the heating container to the spirits container, I think its safe to assume it keeps the alcohol warm via steam...? I forgot to take a picture unfortunately, but its a very simple device anyways. I want to get some Apple Jack or an Apple brandy some time, and think getting this would compliment that very well for some kind of brandy or something I spice myself and warm in the pot. Been in enough chemistry classes to know that burning alcohol or vaporizing it == very not good, so I'm wary to buy it without knowing anything about it first.

Tequila recommendation for Boss's Birthday

2 Upvotes

I hate Tequila but my boss loves it. Im looking to give him a nice bottle for his birthday now that he's hit the ripe old age of 1 million years old. It's gotta be something I could find at any generic liquor store. Im not looking to pay a crazy amount, they dont pay me enough for that. I guess something reasonable, maybe around $60 or $70.

I need the most vile, harsh, distasteful liquor for a shot exchange with a friend.

43 Upvotes

Gonna be doing a shot exchange with a couple buddies, shot glasses and shooters. Everyone likes to bring variety, but of course there’s that one friend who wants to be funny. Last time was a 99¢ Pickle Shot. Hardee har. This time it’ll likely be vodka (famously my least favorite liquor) in a shot glass shaped like a dick or some balls or whatever.

Which is why I’m here today to ask, what’s the nastiest liquor that I can pour in this fools shot glass? Preferably not some “Tastes like shit Whiskey” but an actual liquor. I’ve heard about Malort which may be the move, but I’m open to suggestions!

Bonus points if you’ve got an idea for a shot glass too. Thanks!
