As a cocktail fanatic, these are all very solid recommendations. Wray and Nephew is an incredible rum for the price but be ready for something super funky.
The Wray and Nephew overproof is one of, if not, the most frequently consumed rums in Jamaica. It's delicious mixed with some Ting grapefruit soda, which some grocery stores sell in their Caribbean or West Indies section of the international food aisle.
Gotta love the Wray and Nephew pick, but like other people have said, it's super funky. Think overripe bananas, but damn it goes well in a cocktail. Plantation 3 Star is another good pick, same with their 5 Year.
As someone who's gone through all tiers of vodka, Luksusowa is the only bottle I will buy. It's water with 40% ABV, thin mouth feel, no taste, no odor, no burn.
Love seeing reyka, had my friends try it and they've only had bottom shelf and grey goose/titos (branded bottom shelf) and they loved it in every drink they had. Almost dangerously smooth
Love your stuff man, it's great info for someone who has a single store within an hour of me. My go to liquors are unflavored Svedka, Plantation Rum, Four Roses Yellow Label, and JW Black.😊
For the money WT101 is fantastic and definitely a personal favorite. Comparatively, depending on where you are OGD 114 is also a great choice in the 25-30 dollar range.
The purple McQueen is OK but nothing beats the original Chill it in the freezer and its absolutely delicious. Smooth as velvet. If you're feeling adventurous, grab some friends, fill a bong with it and take some gin rips. Theres a taste reminiscent of froot loops and a nice clean crossfade.
Ive been drinking milagro since 2011, their select barrel reserve Anejo is my Best and favourite "mid" tequila. i normally sip on don julio primavera (since i stockpiled 7 bottles) or addictivo
I can't recommend Old Grand-Bottled in Bond enough. Baking spice, fruit, it's like Christmas in a bottle. And James Bond bought in the books. The whiskey snobs also love it.
For vodka, I personally love Svedka. I find it super smooth but still fairly strong and it goes well in fruity shit (otherwise they wouldn't have a Svedka vodka in every flavor imaginable). Their blue raspberry was the first liquor I ever bought and their plain vodka is now my go to.
Funny, but everytime I served titos the customer raved about it. I've upsold to premium, wheat, potato bla, bla, bla, but I always get asked what vodka i chose when they asked for something not well.
Make a video on Żubrowka. Mix it with any juice for a malty pie-like flavor. Apple Juice chaser with this thing tastes like an apple pie. I'd avoid total wine and go to a local eastern european part of town, as total wine scams you for $25 for 750ml
As someone who considers himself a cocktail enthusiast (I even have cocktail books!), these are all great. The rum is kinda a rabbit hole, there is a lot of options and regions and taste does differ depending on that. Sadly can't get my hands on any amazing tequilas here in Europe though.
Id suggest to do two different colors for the text when two different people are talking, gives a better "back and forth" feeling to the video instead of just a weird text overlay that says everything like a robot is reading the video
... As an alcoholic for over a decade, I can categorically tell you that Burnett vodka is the best alcohol to quality to money ratio that you're gonna find in that liquor store... If anyone's looking for it $10-$12 handle of vodka that's going to drink better than most of the mid and even some of the top shelf bottles... I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, brother Burnett is the way to go👌
Is Tito’s more expensive at his store he acts like it’s so much more expensive than anything else he shows but you buy an actual handle for like 25$ around here? And it’s 10x distilled I’ve seen you guys recommend 5x distilled over it like no gross I get Tito’s marketing is annoying but hey show me better 10x distilled vodkas and I’m game
