The sweetness of Rum has never really been my thing. In general I prefer a strong sip of the best scotch or a good single malt whiskey. Rum is generally made with molasses, which gives a lot of rums an overtly sweet flavor that can be a turn off to an avid drinker of high quality spirits. 10 Cane Rum meanwhile is made with fresh pressed sugar grown specifically for use in making this delicious beverage. Avoiding the syrupy sweetness of molasses is essential for making a drink of this caliber and it makes 10 Cane perfect for mix drinks, as it will contribute to the flavor without overpowering.

Upon first tasting this rum, I was struck by how inviting I found it’s fruity scent. As a person not generally interested in those sorts of beverages I did not expect to appreciate the way they hit my senses and yet there I was. The texture and flavor were idyllic for my single malt scotch trained pallet. Further research after drinking suggests that many spirit enthusiasts have some qualms with classifying 10 Cane as a rum specifically, partially for it’s aversion to molasses but also because to some it seems closer to a whiskey.

For my money it is a tasty and satisfying drink both straight and in a cocktail. I would recommend it to regular rum drinkers and the rum averse alike!

discount liquorDrinking kosher liquor can be a fun experience, not just because of how alcohol makes you relaxed and happy, but because the social aspect of drinking can help you enjoy the company of your friends. You may find yourself talking about more intimate topics that you otherwise would not have touched. And so kosher liquor is called a social lubricant for good reason.

But be careful not to overdo it. Any more than 15 drinks in a week means that you’re an alcoholic. And while it may be easy to brush that off, you may find yourself increasingly reliant on Herzog wine or discount liquors. It is good to be aware of drinking limits since alcohol use can quickly become drug-like.

So when you are out on the town with your friends, or even when you are relaxing in a living room, it is important to keep this in the back of your mind. Drink discount liquor moderately, one drink a day for women, and up to two daily for men.  That way you will have less chance of serious health problems down the line. And moderate drinking can help lower your risk of heart disease, heart attacks gallstones, and stroke.

kosher liquorGin is a kosher liquor that is quite unique. There are two basic types of gin: distilled, which is crafted traditionally with juniper berries and other botanicals, and compound gin, which is not as highly regarded, is flavored with essences and other botanical flavorings without re-distillation.

The most common type of gin is London dry gin and is usually distilled with citrusy botanicals such as lemon and orange peel as well as spices like cinnamon, licorice root and saffron. Many people may be allergic to the juniper berries in gin, which can make them act strangely.

Tanqueray is a famous brand of kosher liquor. First distilled in 1830 in the Bloomsbury neighborhood of London, it is a London dry gin. It is 47.3% ABV and so it is important to remember that when drinking it, one must drink even more moderately than normal. The extra fifteen proof can do a lot to a body over the course of a night. Trust me, because if you don’t, you may wind up doing very risking things, such as bicycling over bridges intoxicated or misplacing valuable pieces of technology. Not that I know from experience or anything. Ahem.

You can include Tanqueray in kosher liquor gift sets and make mean gin and tonics.

kosher liquorWhat is moderation? We condone the drinking of discount liquors, obviously, but what does it mean to drink responsibly? Say you’ve had a long hard day and you want to unwind when you get home. You pour yourself drink after drink until you’re intoxicated. Since this doesn’t happen all the time you tell yourself that it is okay. But even if you drink daily and you feel yourself needing alcohol instead of wanting to enjoy it, you may be drinking irresponsibly.

The line between need and desire is a fine one, especially when it comes to pleasures such as the best single malt scotch or kosher wines. The taste and complexity of a fine Herzog wine is rarely needed, it is to be enjoyed with your family or friends. After a drink or two your body becomes acclimated to alcohol, and it thinks it needs another. Because alcohol is a drug, it does. So you can either choose to pour another finger of your kosher liquor, or instead drink a glass of water.

Irresponsible drinking is when you take that finger of kosher liquor more often than the water. That leads to frequent drunkenness. And drunkenness isn’t good. So please, drink kosher liquor responsibly.

herzog wineKosher liquor can really help you relax. After a long day at the office, a glass of Herzog wine or a couple of fingers of the best single malt scotch is a great way to unwind. Moderate alcohol consumption can help reduce stress and since chronic stress is really bad for you, a touch of alcohol (1-2 drink daily) is important to general health. But don’t go overboard, an alcohol blood content of more than .1 (most states consider .08 the legal limit) convinces your body that it is in danger, making it even more stressed out.

Alcohol can help improve your HDL cholesterol, otherwise known as good cholesterol, which has anti-clotting properties. A bit of the best single malt scotch can also give you cardiovascular benefits, and Herzog wine has important antioxidants in it.

But the reality is that when we drink Herzog wine or a glass of the best single malt scotch, we’re usually with other people. And that is what really helps us to de-stress. Because the conversations you have with a loved one over an alcoholic beverage help you to feel more relaxed and make you generally happier.

So if you’re feeling blue, try drinking a glass of Herzog wine or two.

kosher winesEveryone overdoes it at one point or another when they’re drinking, and we’ve all felt the bite of a harsh hangover. If you find that you’ve overindulged in your kosher wines or liquors, try these hangover remedies:

First of all, remember that the best cure is prevention. Almonds (at least 6) are said to help prevent hangovers, as is a teaspoon of bifidus powder in a glass of water before bed. Two teaspoons of evening primrose oil is supposed to help as well.

Now, if you find yourself with a hangover anyway, exercise. (It help your body rid itself of toxins.) A nice brisk walk is the best route; jogging might be bad for an already unsettled stomach; ditto for situps.

For the stomach:

Activated charcoal tablets. Take one per drink you have; it will absorb the impurities in alcohol that cause hangovers. This remedy should also be used sparingly, though, because the charcoal can also absorb important nutrients.

Make a banana milkshake with honey.

For a headache:

You can use painkillers, but only sparingly, and only if you don’t have an empty stomach. Aspirin and ibuprofen can do damage to your stomach, while acetaminophen can do damage to your liver and kidneys. In place of these you can try Feverfew, an herbal

Eat a raw persimmon or raw cabbage.

Take B-vitamins before you go to bed. They’ll help your metabolism and restore your energy level.

Now just because you know these preventative techniques and remedies doesn’t mean you should go out of your way and drink entire bottles of kosher liquors or wines, but if you do overdo it a bit, you’ll be prepared!

We found an article in the Prague Post, The Czech Republic’s English Language newspaper, that discusses how the health-conscious may be turning to kosher liquor as the best option.

According to the article, it is the healthy aspects of kosher liquor and its pure ingredients and production that is appealing to individuals worried about the state of their bodies.

From the article:

“Our kosher customers are, of course, also from the Jewish community in Prague, Brno and Karlovy Vary,” Hana Holubová, the marketing manager for R. Jelínek (the nations leading producer of traditional liquor) told The Prague Post. “However, the main customer is the ‘wider market,’ which does not associate kosher with faith, but with a premium-quality product.”

“Kosher, strictly translated, means clean,” said Tomáš Kraus, executive director of the Federation of Jewish Communities in the Czech Republic (FŽO). “Liquor can be kosher if all regulations are kept during the process of production. For example, it does not contain substances that are not permitted – like colorants made of insects.

And who wants to be drinking insects, right? For the health-conscious, yhte idea of ingesting anything that involves insects has got to be horrifying, and explains the desire to stick with kosher liquor instead.

My uncles call Jameson Irish Champagne. Established in 1780,  it remains the third largest single distillery in the world. It follows the same principles as the single malt scotch whiskey tradition but differs in the barley it uses. Unmalted barley gives Jameson its unique flavor. The whiskey has been the best selling Irish whiskey in the world ever since John Jameson and his son, John Jr., began distilling more than a million gallons annually more than 200 years ago.

Today, the whiskey is produced in Cork. The focus of this fine whiskey is balance; no flavor overrides another. The barley is fired by anthracite coal, which is clean burning and preserves the flavor. There is also a special reserve of Jameson aged for 12 years, and a limited reserve of Jameson aged for 18 years.

This masterful blend of aged whiskey has hints of toffee, wood and spice and is aged at the end of its tenure in American bourbon casks. The oloroso sherry casks it calls home prior to that impart a special nuttiness to its taste. The special reserve belongs on the top shelf along with any other single malt scotch whiskey. To find it for a deal, visit a discount liquor store online.

I love fall. Sure, the end of summer always is a little of a bummer for me, but I start to perk up as soon as I think about all of the delicious things fall brings. For one, apple cider! Yum. Second, fall brings pumpkins! And pumpkin flavored snacks. Yum again! Third, you can start to incorporate your discount liquors into warm beverages, the crowning favorite being a Hot Toddy. Hot toddies are the perfect way to put your discount liquors to work, and the perfect way to warm up after a chilly fall day. They are also the perfect adult beverage to drink during flu season, as they can help you relax and clean your sinuses before bed. To make a Hot Toddy, you’ll need one teaspoon of honey, 2 ounces of hot water, 1.5 ounces of whiskey, 3 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 lemon wedge, 1 pinch of nutmeg.

In your favorite mug, pour the honey, hot water, and whiskey. Add in the cloves, cinnamon and lemon slice. Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes for the flavors to mix and really come out. After the 5 minutes is up, sprinkle with the pinch of nutmeg and enjoy!

discount liquorsIf you’re looking to save money on kosher liquor, www.LiquorsGalore.com has got you covered. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite discount liquors.

Gordon’s Vodka, 200 ml — $3.49

The number three most popular domestic brand of vodka, Gordon’s combines affordability and taste. This kosher liquor is ideal straight or in mixed drinks like The Gordon — a mix of 1 1/2 ounces of Gordon’s vodka, 8 ounces of milk, and 1 ounce of maple syrup. It’s reminiscent of a White Russian, but not quite the same.

Bacardi Gold, 200 ml — $4.25

Produced with a molasses base, Bacardi Gold is the king of discount light rums. This rum is only filtered once (unlike Bacardi Light) and then aged in oak barrels for two years. If you can’t decide what to mix it with, you can’t go wrong with the classic Rum & Coke (pictured).

Old Crow 375 ML — $5.99

This Jim Beam bottle is like the Springsteen of American whiskey — blue-collar and proud of it. Unlike some whiskeys, Old Crow works well as both a straight bourbon and mixer. This kosher liquor has a nice history as well — Old Crow is said to have helped Kentucky senator Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn get re-elected, as he doled out samples of the legendary brew during his campaign.
