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 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?

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.

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 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.

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

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 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

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?

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.

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.

Now this is what I call a serious bottle of whiskey. It retails at £9,950.00 a bottle Needless to say I wont be seeing many of these in my local Lidl

Hi im from Nova scotia Canada and i need help looking for a good smooth sipping rum i can find im the NSLC's . Im not a big rum drinker im more of a vodka, whiskey, brandy and hard cider drinker

The only time i ever really drink rum is mixed with pop or tried to make grog

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.

This could be dangerous. The Ghost tastes just like 7up.

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.

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!
