Episode 314 - Rare and Vintage Drambuie ...

Eric Kozlik
About this episode

This time around, we explore the fascinating flavors of different Drambuie releases. If you haven't heard of it, it's a honey and whiskey liqueur made in Scotland, and if you have heard of it…well, you know that you can't make a Rusty Nail cocktail without it.

In this episode, the bottles we taste through include:

  • Today's Drambuie base expression
  • A bottle from maybe 4 or 5 years ago…just to see if it's the same juice
  • A vintage bottle from the '70s or '80s
  • A 1980s-era Drambuie decanter special release
  • Drambuie 15-year old (made, of course, with 15-year-old whiskey)
  • And we wrap things up with the ready-to-serve Drambuie Hot Apple Toddy

Thanks to David T. Smith for providing the wonderful rare and vintage Drambuie expressions we taste through in this episode. Thanks also to Eric Zandona, Joe Barber, and Erik Owens for joining in the fun and providing their expert palates and feedback.
