It definitely can take some getting used to. Especially because we live in a society where sweetness has been mass marketed into almost everything, so our pallets have become very unfamiliar with bitter. It took me a while to understand and appreciate the complex flavor of Campari.

I got a P.O. box, send one over 😉

@@ronaldtheriot interesting. What didn’t you like about it? And what beers do you typically like?

@@liquid_x I found it very bland. Well, I typically like many different beer styles.

@@Jim-nt7xy solid cocktail for sure! 🥂

Thank you so much Joe!! 🙏☺️

@@DuyTran-ej1sfcảm ơn nhé 🥰

hmm interesting, I did try it with coke, and it was good. I wonder if Pepsi would complement better though. I haven't seen Vimto in the US, what does it taste like? Haha that was Kraken's ink on my counter, 🐙not the rum. No rum was wasted in the making of this video😊👍

@@liquid_x Vimto is a popular mixed fruit drink where I'm from. It originated in Manchester, England in 1908.

@ oh very cool! It sounds tasty. Is there any world wide drink you could compare it to?

@@boydriver2978 Oooo nice! I can see the Dr. Pepper as well. That’s awesome. Hey question, do you know that’s a UK exclusive and/or do you know any other spirits that you can’t get other places? I know for one, your NA line is quite extensive with Gordon’s, Captain Morgan, Bombay, etc. we don’t have any of those non alcoholics in the US.

@@liquid_x No, I stick to brandy, Kraken, Bacadi, pussers rum(cant really source that these days ) and Woods Navy. Have not tried NA spirtits so couldnt answer.

@@boydriver2978 nice! those are good, whats your favorite Brandy brand?

@@liquid_x cheap french or spanich brandy for adding to instant coffe, otherwise covoisier

@@boydriver2978 oooo sounds tasty, I have yet to try brandy in coffee but it sounds delicious. I have really been enjoying Courvoisier as well. Nice!

@@susanaviana1629 thank you!! ☺️

@@davism542 I didn’t get a chance to try that one. Is it also Thai?

@ yes, it is Thai

~549 baht at 7-11

@@worldalvin nice! It is tasty! 🥂

@@swtpeakay sweet! Let me know what you think when you try it. 🥂

@@cpea12 Ayy solid! Have you tried some of George’s other expressions? I’m curious how they compare to their flagship?

@@liquid_x the 8 year is great, too!!...The #12 is now called Original Recipe, aged at least 6 years. Always a big fan of Dickel products and visited the Distillery in Tullahoma.. Enjoy!

@@munkeepilot haha thats fair. What are your favorite sippers?

Well, whatever happens to be in my glencairn glass at the moment 😜. I’m a big blanco guy, but I love the spice…I’m also a big fan of peaty Islay scotches and smoky mezcals. For blanco tequilas, I really enjoy sipping Volans and Siete Leguas and Patron (yes, it’s popular to hate, but with a blind tasting, you’ll be shocked how high you rate it if you’re a blanco sipper). But I’d have to say Tequila Ocho is my go-to blanco. Fantastic! Affordable! Beautiful, simple bottle. I’ve spent far more for far less enjoyable blancos! But my real secret is this…sip slowly for a glencairn, really try to savor the aromas and the experience, and you’d be amazed how you can enjoy sipping some of the “worst” stuff out there! Kinda the same way that your girl doesn’t have to be a “supermodel” to be gorgeous…take a “lesser” girl and really start to explore her, get to know her well and prepare to be amazed! Keep up the nice videos, great quality!

@@ClaudeDiamond ooo so cool! I would love to try the reposado or anejo sometime, cause I really do enjoy the flavor of the blanco. 🥂

ohhhh yeah! I'm seeing some recipes that don't banana liqueur, but yes I think that is what I was thinking of. Thank you! XD

@@damonomusic Ayyy I’m so glad! Thanks Damon!! I’m glad the algorithm is recommending me! 🥰

@@lauraharak8015 Thank you so much Laura! I wish you could too, the cherry coke flavor of it is so fun to work with. If you find it somewhere, please let me know 🥂

hmmm it's been a very long time since I have had Grey Goose, so I can't speak to it specifically. Haku vodka is the smoothest vodka I have reviewed, though it is more in the Grey Goose price range. Down more in the $20 range I have enjoyed Reyka, which I also reviewed. I am really curious about Beluga as I have seen it being displayed in movies and such as a very high end vodka. I have also been told Absolut Elyx is smooth similar to Grey Goose. Hope this helps, let me know what you try. 🥂

@@KristophDeLove thank you so much Kristoph! That means a lot. 🙏

Thanks so much Hunter! I'm so glad you like the Bumbu. When I tasted it I had a feeling you would like it. Cheers bro! 🥂

haha exactly what I was hoping for ;) thanks dude! XD

I had a roommate back in the day, White Russians were here nightly cocktail 🤷‍♀️, she used Stoli. I love tequila, use vodka to clean my yoga mat😂.

Thank you so much! ooo I haven't tried Finlandia yet, but you are making me curious haha. I tried Russian Standard in a martini and I was very impressed. My personal preferences: For this price point (around $20) I have enjoyed Reyka which I did a review on. My current favorite is Haku, though it is a bit higher price point.

Haha I can understand that. I'm glad it helped! Thanks for the comment.

@@tonytone4867 yeah I can see what your saying. Yeah that makes me very curious about their reposado and anejo. Let me know what you think if you end up trying them.

Did you try the Oreo first or the Coke?

@@liquid_x Soda first. I've had "soda" themed treats before so I assumed it wan't going to change. But snack themed soda was new.

Aaand the most alarming iteration is the one I want to try-the infusion😅

@@RenayOpish it was an interesting experiment for sure haha. If you end up trying it, let me know what you think. If I can get my hands on more Coke Oreos and Oreo Coke, I might try carbonating the infusion. Cause I do think that could be good.

The maple notes are exceptional. I do love what the Lincoln County Process brings to bourbon. 🥂

@liquid_x you should check out heavens door Tennessee straight bourbon and their double barrel you'll thank me later lol

Thats so cool! I'm glad you like it. I thought it was super good too. Much different than your normal cheap stuff.

@@nategin9009 the original Redbull Krating Daeng, yes. The redbull that we see around most of the world is actually Austrian. I have a video on it here. ua-cam.com/video/YWWSArXWaKA/v-deo.html

Ooo I bet that one is good. Definitely let me know what you think of this one if you try it.🥂

nice! This is definitely a solid one. I'm glad you like it 🥂

This did take me a while, there are a bunch of techniques to be able to find more flavors. However also being able to understand what you are tasting and being able to articulate that into describable words is another skill as well. I would suggest starting by tasting 2 different spirits side by side. Try to figure out what makes one different from another. After that try different brands of the same spirit (rum, gin, whiskey, tequila, brandy). I would stay away from vodka while you are learning just cause vodka is going to be so hard since there is so little flavor in it. Let me know what other questions you have. I have been thinking about doing a video on tasting so your questions are definitely helpful for me. 🥂

What are you referring to by cherry essence? I can imagine the pits are doing a lot of the flavoring. Similar to how some amarettos use peach pits to get their nutty and fruity flavor. 🥂

@@liquid_x Luxardo maraschino liqueur does not smell or taste like cherries. It is more about the woodiness from the pits. Pits don't give a fruity flavor.

@@jimklemens5018 That's interesting that you aren't getting any fruity flavor, because they use the whole cherries, with the stems and leaves in the liqueur to infuse. I can understand the heavy woodiness because of the stems and leaves though. Maybe you just got an extra woody bottle or something.

@liquid_x The Luxardo website doesn't mention a taste or smell of cherry fruit.

@@jimklemens5018 I think we are at a disconnect because taste can be very subjective. Everyone’s pallet and nose is different. So saying something doesn’t have a particular flavor might be accurate for you, but not for someone else. Also sure, on Luxardo’s website all they say is “the aroma is typical of marasca cherry distillate”, which suggests cherry flavor without explicitly saying it. However many other websites including Liquor.com, Diffordsguide, and people on Reddit, all describe the liqueur as having a cherry flavor. Give it a taste sometime and let me know if you find some fruity notes.🥂

@@dontslipjustslide4501 Thank you I really appreciate that. 🙏

@@hunterhoddevik2357 ayyy that sounds awesome!! Was it the Signature/#12? Or one of their other bottles?

@@bryanwilliams3665 haha that’s funny. I’m glad you like it!

@@7.i.F.3 haha nice! Got back to where (country)?

@@damonomusic ayy thank you bro!! 🥰🙏

Everyone has their own opinion on this. My personal opinion is that they are different. Carmel is those chewy cubes, or what you put around an apple. However caramel is the sauce that you drizzle on top of whipped cream or the stringy caramel in a snickers bar.

Ooo that would be fun to do at some point. Thanks for the suggestion. 😊

@@supercalo2000 Thank you so much!! Ahh so cool! Yeah it works well for sure!

haha I know it sounds weird, It's what brings the earthy tones. But honestly it is really good. 😄
