... I know it's not technically in the same vein, but for the sake of EVERYONE, even just for a laugh: Jame's May's "Captain" Sloe Gin. It sells itself!
When James takes a taste of his own gin, and says 'Oh that is superb, it really is', it reminded me of that episode of Top Gear - race to the Mexican boarder where Jeremy and James make a conclusion and say "the Aston Martin and the Lexus were tremendous, they really were, and the Viper was awful, absolutley awful.
Im not just saying this because Always Sunny is my favorite show, but Four Walls was one of my favorite bottles Ive ever bought. Im usually a big bourbon guy, that's 90% of what I drink, but this stuff was incredible. Something different, not too sweet like straight Irish Whisky, not too peppery like straight Rye. I really recommend it if you can find it. Good price too.
Watching James May tackle celebratory drinks is a journey worth toasting. By the time he hits Ricky Gervais's Dutch Barn he’s already warmed up, delivering tasting notes with the precision of a sommelier and the wit of a pub regular. By drink 6, he’s questioning his life choices, and by the final round, we’re just glad the camera’s still in focus!
The Papa Salt bottle is meant to evoke the look and feel of "beach glass." It's one of my favorite things to find while hinting for interesting rocks and stones on the beaches of Michigan. Easier to find than Petosky stones, anymore.
about as much involvement as they do with perfumes that have their name. having said that though. would you turn down millions of pounds if someone offered you a drink deal?
@@howdareyou41 I'd like to think that I value my integrity enough to say no, since by the time would have some name recognition worthy of a branding deal, I'd also have enough money to stand by my principles.
I feel like Ryan Reynolds is the type of guy who would actually be involved in the development of Aviation gin. Idk if it existed before or if he just bought the company, but between Mint Mobile, Wrexham, Aviation, Deadpool, etc, he does seem to get balls deep in the projects he undertakes.
I most liked the fact that James poured his own shots with his still healing wrists. Man you can actually ask someone from the staff to pour one for you lol.
That Cygnet bottle is beautiful. It took me a while to see that he was spitting out competing Gins, of course their inferior they are not Jame's May Gins.
Funnily enough, I briefly met James May and Jeremy Clarkson in North Yorkshire many years ago, and they were indeed both having fish and chips! I was on my way back from another fish and chip restaurant that they had both initially tried to get into, but I think it was fully booked or too close to closing at the time, so they were turned away! I can safely say the fish and chips were amazing!
I am a staunch tee totaler, but I find james May facinating so even if he is doing something that I would never consider doing myself; I will still watch with a smile on my face.
I love how he aggressively dislikes every gin, then likes the whisky, but then discovers its associated with Ryan Reynolds and then immediately stops liking it.
Yeah, whenever I see a man with a shaking hand pouring himself a gin in the afternoon, I automatically assume that it's because he must be recovering from a bicycle-related injury. 😆
He literally said that he was one of the Always Sunny people along with Glenn and Charlie. And as someone who's watched IASIP in its entirety several times I am still not capable of pronouncing Rob's surname correctly without a few practice runs even though I know exactly what it should sound like

Do you really think James "Helped making the Gin?". Even in that promo video it is portrayed as if he only came about with one singular infusion for the Gin. In truth the Gin-guy probably showed him five different flavors he was going to make in the future and one became "James Gin"
the aggressive noise and spitting of the gin and then no explanation as to why is killing me 😂
Right?! What was so horrible about it? Is it indeed just salt water?😅
@@serenity713 its not bad and I really dislike gin so if I can stomach it then either he is joking or a snob.

@@Chris_the_Muso Exactly, was my first thought "Oh right, it's because it's not his"
