Non-Bourbon Spirits for Bourbon Fans They say variety is the spice of life. So, here are my top picks for non-bourbon spirits for bourbon fans.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲!  Today, we celebrate this timeless spirit and its incredible legacy spanning over hundreds of years and transcending cultures and generations. At PPD Global, whisky holds a special place in our hearts. We are the proud home of the best whisky brands in the world, produced in Scotland, Ireland and USA. Our portfolio features iconic names like 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫, 𝐉&𝐁, 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐭, 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐧 and 𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧 – just a taste of the world's best-selling brands. This day is a good reminder of how amazingly diverse in flavours and experiences is the whisky universe: from the smoky and spicy, to the sweet and fruity, or something in between. It holds many influences that help this most complex of spirits draw us irresistibly towards it. Just think about Scotland, with its wide variety of single malts, blended whiskies, and single grains. Or about Ireland known for its smooth, triple-distilled character with notes of honey, malt, and spice. With its versatility, whisky fosters authentic connections, bringing people together through great experiences. As Mark Twain once famously said: ”too much of anything is bad, but too much good whisky is barely enough.” Some people enjoy their whisky neat with no ice or water, while others like to bring it alive with a dash of water. Others prefer theirs on the rocks. Whisky also plays an important role in cocktail culture worldwide. Think of the classic Old Fashioned or something as simple and easy as a Scotch and soda in a Highball glass. Whether you're a single-malt connoisseur or a whisky cocktail enthusiast, we wish you happy World Whisky Day 🥃 #WorldWhiskyDay #Whisky #Spirits #Drinks

It’s Whiskey, Viagra, and Manatee Appreciation Day. Now, I shouldn’t have to say this, but, do not mix these three things together for one very questionable March 27 party! I implore you. Whiskey (Irish and American) and Whisky (Scottish, Canadian, and Japanese) has seen centuries of uncertainty surrounding its origins – be it Irish or Scottish – but one thing to be sure, to be sure, is that “uisce beatha” (pronounced ‘ish-ka ba-ha’, meaning ‘water of life’) has been lubricating Celts for a millennium. The difference between the two Gaelic countries’ pure drop is much more than Irish Whiskey being spelled with an “e”. It’s distilled an extra time (thrice) for a more elegant and mellow smoothness, while Scotch is simply double-distilled. Canadian is nearer to the Irish recipe, while Japanese more closely-follows that of the Scots. The muck that’s much of American bourbon is often effectively single distilled in a continuous column and deserves to lose all amber-coloured class with a dash of carbonated coke, rather than served in correct fashion: with a drop of water, a compressed ice ball, or simply sipped neat. There’s been many murmurings that the biggest importer of Johnny Walker Whisky in the world was Saudi Arabia (where alcohol has obviously for years been haram). Solely for the diplomats, it perhaps promoted peaceful, albeit potentially inebriated, partnerships. But now there’s an off-licence bottle shop open in the Kingdom, the currently unconfirmed dark secret record of exceptional wetting of whistles with whisk(e)y may come to official light. If you want a proper taste of the old country today, though, point your pinky for a pot of the precursor to whiskey: Poitín – which dates back about 2,000 years. The Irish moonshine can only be made from cereals, grain, whey, sugar beet, molasses and potatoes, and almost certainly helped form the Irish word for hangover, póit. That might give you an idea of what you’re getting in for when you dabble with the partially illegal liquor. Despite the danger, Disney decided a dram of the “mountain dew” was due some silver screen time in pre-James Bond Sean Connery classic “Darby O'Gill and the Little People”, which sees titular Darby in the throes of a drinking game splitting a jug of poitín with Brian, King of the leprechauns. Loathe to take on magical miniature men? Then stick to the whiskey. Besides drinking it for pleasure, many people drink the powerful cancer-preventing antioxidant ellagic acid-packed tipple for their health; some mix it with warm water and honey to soothe sore throats; rub it into babies’ gums to help them sleep; or drizzle a dribble into dressings and desserts. Others, however, claim that drinking whiskey will prolong their life… but they’re usually just very drunk! #Whiskey #Whisky #Poitín #Potcheen

NATIONAL TEQUILA DAY On July 24th, commemorate National Tequila Day with a little lime and salt. Mix up a Margarita, Paloma, or a Mamasita to celebrate the day! People have been making Tequila for centuries, and it was once known as mezcal wine. #NationalTequilaDay In fact, Tequila is mezcal, but mezcal isn't Tequila. That's because Tequila is distilled from a specific type of agave plant. Also, the law protects its production. Take a sip, and we'll travel into Tequila's history. #RealEstateMiami #SouthFloridaRealEstate #RealEstateAventura #AventuraRealEstate #RealEstateSouthFlorida #AventuraFlorida #SouthFloridaRealEstate #MiamiRealEstate #RealEstate #Realtor #houseexpert #househunting #realestate #home #RealEstateAgent #RealEstateBroker #RealEstateExpert #RealEstateForSale #Realty #Broker #HomeForSale #HouseForSale #PropertyForSale #HomeForSaleMiami #HomeForSaleSouthFlorida#SouthFloridaRealEstate #HomeForSaleSouthFlorida

Whether you work in the spirits industry or not, the rise of Tequila and agave spirits has been impossible to ignore, with more and more people realising that tequila and agave spirits are more than shots and salty memories. Agave spirits is a category rich with traditions crafted in the heart of Jalisco and Oaxaca, for generations. It is this very tradition that inspired Christopher Frederick and I, to take our mission 'to put Africa on every back bar in the world', to the world of agave spirits. So, we are excited to introduce you to Sango, a premium additive-free 100% agave spirit, hand crafted with wild African Agave. Sango is an authentically African take on tequila and a bold reinvention of time-honoured agave craft, community and culture, and most importantly, made in Africa. It’s a journey that has taken us across the African continent to find a plant that people thought only grew in Mexico, to the United States, the largest agave spirits market in the world. Sango Agave joins our other children, Bayab Gin, Vusa Vodka and Mansas Whisky in the Spearhead Spirits family, a portfolio that we believe will define the future of the African Spirits category. We haven’t shared much about this mission of ours over the last 4 years, but that’s about to change, because who keeps a good story to themselves, eh? Until the next tale, why don’t you visit www.SangoAgave.com and learn more about Sango, the spirit of new traditions.
