I thought they pulled US whiskey off the shelves.
The LCBO certainly did.
I was wondering why it would even still be there. Old pic I guess?
Alcohol is one of the easiest things to substitute. Why even consider American alcohol?
Because spirits are an art as much as a science.
Like with cooking it can be both. For truly terrific stuff is definately art, however for mediocre stuff it’s mainly biochemistry.
Canadians are better artists.
With brands you know for years, you know what you’re getting. Some folks probably don’t want to test new ones. Maybe we should provide substitution proposals.
Honestly I find most liquors are easy enough to substitute for the average drinker.
Yeah if you’re some kind o whiskey connoisseur that drops hundreds or even thousands on bottles there’s maybe a difference. But for the average sub $100 you’ll easily find a substitute just moving within a similar price point
Depending on the person beer can be a bit harder, but not impossible by any means
Maybe I’m not the right person to have started the conversation I guess. I’ve got a 500€ bottle of single barrel Scotch here, and a lot of her lesser sisters. This rhymes to a less insane degree with gin, rum, tequila and various European fruit distillations. Then there’s the wine, and since I’ve been friend-dopted by my best vineyard owners, this game has improved a lot as well.
I do enjoy stuff like this, and it’s quite a journey to find what you’re into.
For a mixer I wouldn’t go into so much detail, of course.
Two things.
Americans don’t produce anything as good as a single malt scotch.
Scotland would never spontaneously shred their international reputation the way America has, so international scotch sales will be safe in perpetuity.
We absolutely do make competitors that rival Scottish single malt, we just don’t copy them. I understand it’s fashionable to shit on everything American but you would do well to avoid sinking into outright bigotry
You make nothing that rivals Scottish single malt.
You would do well to avoid tone policing. concentrate more on domestic sales, to compensate for the international sales that you’re never getting back.
There really isn’t much reason to buy American when Argentina wine exists. California wines tend to be significantly more expensive too.
Beer is a bit of a different story, but Europe has the best imo.
If you like aged whiskey/bourbon a nice hack is using barrel chips and an ultrasonic cleaner to rapid age lesser liquors. It works super well even with a pretty junky cleaner.
8 feel bad for California, I’d rather focus on Kentucky whiskey and the other deep red states. They are the ones that need to be targeted.
Kentucky has a Democratic governor
I don’t give a shit. Those fuckers gave us Mitch McConnell! He’s been directly responsible for where we are. The damage he’s done won’t be fixed for generations.
