Nova Scotia looks to get rid of its remaining inventory of U.S. alcohol worth $14 million before it expires; all proceeds go to charity. New Brunswick is also selling its remaining $3.4 million worth of U.S. alcohol in storage at discounted prices. Quebec donated it.

Nova Scotia to sell last of U.S. booze pulled from shelves, giving profits to charity | Globalnews.ca
The premier says Nova Scotia is 'committed to a Team Canada approach to tariffs and trade' and will not order any more alcohol from the United States once this inventory is gone.

Here's a little follow up to my tasting episode with Keith Waldbauer. Keith was busy working by that point, so my guest was @cocktailchron.bsky.social, who I'd tasted gin with earlier that same day. We had fun comparing Grandma's tiny bottle of 80s Courvoisier VS with a modern VSOP.

Okay, I said this year's turkey fat washed bourbon was fascinatingly different. The last time I made this, I did it using turkey fat that I'd got purely from rendering the skin. This time I used the turkey fat leftover from roasting a spatchcocked turkey over onion, celery, carrot, sage & thyme. 1/

The answer was Meletti. Nonino was too sweet. Meletti has some major overlap with Montenegro so, that's the one he went for. The Ramazzotti started well but had a weird finish, maybe because it's a very old bottle. The Lucano was just wrong with port. "Too alpine" he said, and I agreed.
My partner's fave aperitivo is 50/50 tawny port & Montenegro. But as I've noted previously, I moved my 48 most critical bottles to Canada. So I have neither of those here. But I did buy a bottle of ruby port to test a recipe, so I gave him four options to try. Which one do you think he chose?

YouTube tells me that none of you have yet spent just under 3 minutes watching this video about my turkey fat washing experiment. So I'm going to repost it so you have a chance before I talk about this year's version, which has just come out of the freezer and is fascinatingly different.
Okay, just spent way too long reminding myself of why I pay someone to edit my videos, but here's a trimmed down version of an ancient Facebook live video where I made the turkey fat washed Wild Turkey Turkey & Sage cocktail, in case you want to know what that's like!

When I moved 48 bottles from my bar in Cambridge to Toronto for the year, it left some holes. Some of which I discovered tonight when I wanted to make margaritas to go with fajitas. Engage Mr Potato Head mode! Mezcal, grapefruit liqueur, and a dash of orange bitters was in the right neighborhood!

I think Guinness did a great job on their 0.0, so I'd totally try this. Haters be damned - just don't order it, blokes. Its existence doesn't harm you.

Great article. Apparently the musician was hesitant to let them use his song until he saw the dailies, but I bought Jose Gonzalez' album after seeing this commercial, so I think it worked out for him, as I can't have been the only one.
“I think our bill was $74,000 on broken windows,” said Ranahan. “And the crazy thing is, everyone loved it. The people, the neighborhood, they still come out to me and talk to me about it.”

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

Very fun long read here. "New checkers are advised that you can’t trust books—they tend not to be fact-checked." "The longer you check, the more you doubt what you think you know." Researching tiny bottles and cocktail classes, I can totally relate! archive.is/RFTyo
