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.
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!
