Differences Between Plastic and Premium Vodka

In Drink, Lifestyle / 4 October 2012 / 0 comments

What is Vodka? To understand what vodka is, we need to first understand distillation. The basic idea of distillation is to take a beer or wine; something with an alcohol, and boil it until the ethanol turns into a steam vapor. In a pot still (the least efficient way of distilling) this vapor will travel up the still and once at the top cascades down a side pipe (line arm) this piping is then cooled by a cold water on the outside of the metal causing the vapor inside the pipe to condense back into alcohol.

National Bourbon Heritage Month is a wonderful time of year to discuss the products that I passionately enjoy. I have been yearning to review Buffalo Trace‘s Experimental Collection for many years and I recently received a sample so the timing worked out perfectly for a RSVLTS.com liquor review this week. The Experimental Collection has been an ongoing subcategory for the Buffalo Trace distillery for 6 years. Out of the countless Kentucky Bourbons available on the market, you may be wondering why I decided to choose this brand.

Practical Guide to White Whiskey

In Drink, Lifestyle / 15 September 2012 / 1 comment

When people talk about white dog whiskey the first thing that comes to mind for many of us is the image of banjos and NASCAR. I think it’s a foolish presumption because white whiskey is the predecessor to all -age spirits. Today legal white whiskey is being produced on an influx and many consumers don’t understand if it’s a novelty item or where it’s purpose in the spirits industry lies. Wood aging any product will cause it to mellow out from the char inside the barrel the same way a Brita filters water. This process takes away the natural flavor of the product and inserts the wood flavor. There is no real issue with consuming an aged product because it’s extremely enjoyable to spit Bourbon, aged tequila or dark rum. The real use for white whiskey is the substitute of vodka in any mixed drink. Vodka doesn’t contain any oil conquers because of the effectiveness of the column stills that it’s made in. Other spirits such as whiskey, rum, and tequila are still produced in pot stills for the most part. Pot stills strip out congeners from the product. Oil congeners in white whiskey hold any flavor you add to more »

The Best Bars In America (According to Esquire)

In Drink, Lifestyle / 22 May 2012 / 1 comment

The best bars in America: Esquire knew it was impossible right from the beginning. To identify the best bars in a country this vast and this thirsty is a task on the order of identifying the best cells in the human body. At the time, they decided to recommend only bars that they knew personally. They still think that was a good call. This meant that best bars was going to be an ongoing project, particularly since they’re always preferred visiting bars as part of their regular activities rather than organizing special missions. (If you make a special trip to find something, you tend to find what you’re looking for whether it’s there or not.) But they had — and, thank God, continue to have — good bar-steeped writers all over the country, and teh Esquire drinks correspondent, David Wondrich, gets around quite a bit and is not averse to visiting bars. Sooner or later, they figured, they would at least get to the major drinking towns in America, places with their own distinctive bar traditions and cultures. And yet some bar cities of reputation kept getting neglected. So this year, they finally broke down and decided to start pointing more »
