New offerings from Unibev

There�s nothing more satisfying to a true foodie than a solid meal.

Now, solid does not necessarily mean no fluids ;).

Let�s face it, a bit of alcohol does wonders! [For those who drink of course]

We�ve been laying a bit low for quite some time now but we�ll rise from the ashes
sometimes & share with you our experiences.

This post focuses on a few items we�ve received from Unibev, a premium spirits company.
This post is solely about alcohol so, caution is advised.

Coming down to what we�ve received:

Oakton Barrel Aged premium grain whisky, Governor�s Reserve premium grain
whisky & L�affaire Napoleon premium French grape brandy.

We really liked the brandy as it was very smooth & had characteristic grape flavors. The bottle was also a highlight. Though we didn't quite indulge in this, we really like it and are saving it for the colder months and for the sangria!!

The Governor�s Reserve was disappointing. It was not smooth at all & in fact very coarse.
The only way we could try is by diluting it. It�s mentioned that it has blended scotch,
but it does not feel the same. The blending needs steep improvement.

The Oakton Barrel Aged whiskey was a tad bit smoother than the above.
The blending seemed very similar with the difference in smoothness.
From an observatory point of view, both the whisky�s tasted very similar
to Seagram�s Royal Stag.

Regarding market advantage, there does not seem to be one.
Whisky�s such as Signature and Blender�s Pride have a larger market share & are priced
lower.

So, the Governor�s Reserve gets a thumbs down from us. In fact the whiskies need quite some improvement.

We enjoy drinking a variety of alcohol & we have the experience to provide
accurate comparisons.

That�s all for this post.

We have a couple of posts lined up so do stay tuned!

We would love to hear from you in case you have anything to add ;)

Till then�drink responsibly & bon apetit!
