Pama Pomegranate Liqueur

October 1, 2021 Josh Liqueur

I’ve been loving the recent increase in the smaller 325ml bottles at the larger spirit retailers. On one of my recent shopping trips, I picked up a few interesting looking liqueurs to try including PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur.

I didn’t have any prior knowledge of this liqueur and I was really surprised to see who produces it. The bottle states that its made in Bardstown, Kentucky but it’s the only clue it’s a Heaven Hill Distillery product. And even though I’d been researching their whiskey products recently, I’d never visited this separate website with their full product list.

PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur is intended to be a versatile spirit […]

Malibu Coconut Rum

September 24, 2021 Emmeline Liqueur

Malibu Coconut Rum is produced by Pernod Ricard, a France-based company that owns a wide variety of different liquor brands worldwide. Despite the name it’s most commonly known by, Malibu Coconut Rum is not technically rum – which one can tell from taking a closer look at the bottle. The label actually reads “Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur” – as in many places it can’t be legally considered rum, and is […]

Elijah Craig Small Batch

September 17, 2021 Josh Bourbon

Heaven Hill is such a big player in American whiskey that I completely forgot they also produce Elijah Craig Small Batch. After reviewing Rittenhouse Rye and Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond recently, I was intending to try some other American distilleries but I guess I’m just drawn to Heaven Hill this year. It also doesn’t help that the Small Batch bottle doesn’t mention Heaven Hill. But it does have an embossed “1789” on bottle in honor of Elijah Craig’s contribution to bourbon history. Elijah Craig was a baptist preacher turned capitalist from Georgetown, Kentucky who is known as the creator of bourbon by being the first person in the […]

Giffard Blue Curaçao Liqueur

September 10, 2021 Emmeline Liqueur

Giffard Blue Curaçao Liqueur is produced by Giffard Distillery in Avrillé, France. Originally founded in Agers in 1885, Giffard produces a variety of liqueurs, spirits, and mixers.

Generally speaking, Blue Curaçao is an orange-flavored liqueur originally made from the bitter Lahara oranges from the island of Curaçao. The blue hue is simply a result of blue dye, and doesn’t indicate any difference in flavor […]

Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila

September 3, 2021 Josh Tequila

I’ve been going through a margarita phase this summer so I’ve been going through blanco tequila pretty quickly. On my last shopping trip, Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila immediately caught my eye because of the embossed “100% Agave” on the interestingly shaped glass bottle. But I didn’t regret my purchase after using the tequila and learning more about the company behind it.

Olmeca Altos was founded by two world famous bartenders, Dre Masso and the late Henry Besant, along with master distiller Jesus Hernandez. Their goal was to create an affordable and sustainable tequila for both bartenders and tequila […]
