It’s always hard to tell what’s real in these wacky interwebs, but this marketing ploy by Argentinian beer company Andes sure seems to be legit. Not only legit, but really quite inventive. In this think-inside-the-box, free-social-media, scantily-clad-promotional-girls world of beer advertising you have to take your hats of to Andes if they really pulled this […]

Distilled in 1938, it's older than WWII
Wow how I’d like to get my hands on this Mortlach 70 Year Edition, now officially the world’s oldest whisky. Distilled in 1938, this Speyside whisky (the Madman’s favorite Scotch region) comes stunningly presented in a wooden bespoke box, with its delicious liquid contained there within glowing the color of sun-bleached polished mahogany. No matter […]
Sure Crown Royal ain’t the best whisky in the world, but as far as massive distillers go it’s a damn fine option (let’s just say it has a safe place in the LIAS wet bar). To give Terence more boozy options for his personal selection, they’ve just dropped a new 90-proof spirit that boasts notes […]

Gently introducing coeds everywhere to the wonders of whiskey
The idea of mixing honey with whiskey seems vomit-inducing at best, barbaric at worst. Somehow the marketing team over at Seagram’s 7 thinks differently, as they’ve just launched their 70 proof Dark Honey spirit. I’m pretty sure I’m not their target demo, however — I’m thinking this stuff is squarely aimed at the sorority girls […]

When all you've ever wanted fits in one fine leather briefcase
Without question, our favorite “affordable” single malt Scotch at LIAS is Balvenie 15-year, absolute gold at Costco for about $40 a bottle. We would’ve loved to try that Balvenie Madeira, of course, but haven’t had the opportunity (Balvenie, if you’re out there sweet Lord of Scotch, feel free to send us a sample!). To give […]

Limited Edition luxury bourbon to keep winter nights warm
The Van Winkle family recently announced the release of a very limited Old Rip Van Winkle Family Selection 23 year-old bourbon whiskey decanter. Every barrel of whiskey was chosen from the lower, cooler floors of the aging warehouse, allowing this wheated-recipe bourbon to age more gracefully. Julian and Preston Van Winkle hand-picked these select barrels […]
