May 24: Queen Victoria’s Birthday
It's Queen Victoria's birthday. Born in 1819, she served as the regent of Great Britain and Ireland for 63 years. That's a long time to be the CEO of an Empire. So, you're probably wondering, did the Queen like a tipple or two? She did, though she didn't have the same tastes as the commoners. She didn't have the same tastes as anyone. Her favorite drink, and I have to give her props for this, was half red wine and half single malt scotch. We'll just call it the Queen Victoria Cocktail because I don't think anyone else will touch it. She also liked scotch and sodas, various wines and even the occasional beer. Top quote: "Give my people plenty of beer, good beer and cheap beer, and you will have no revolution among them." She put this theory into practice, allotting each of her household servants eight pints of beer a day. True story: Every year the Lochnagar Distillery delivered a unique barrel of Scotch whisky specifically tailored to Victoria's tastes. It's good to be Queen.

Guernsey, Channel Islands
As I mentioned last week, I had a week away from home. As a widow, I have not been brave enough yet to do singles holidays (although I am slowly coming round to the idea). I do once a year grab a few days away with my best friend from university days, but she does not like the idea of flying, so holidays abroad are ruled out. It was therefore with some surprise when she suggested this year's trip might be to Guernsey in the Channel Islands via the ferry from Poole. It is off the cost of France and has its own currency and health system, so I could at least pretend it was "abroad". I met my friend in Poole on Friday 8th May and we stayed one night at the Travelodge there. She had driven from Hertfordshire and I had got the train to Poole from London. Unfortunately my room had been sprayed with some very strong air freshener which gave me a headache within 5 minutes of being in the room. I had to get out of there and go for a walk in Poole to clear my head. I think the maid m

Whiskey Review: Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon
We’re diving into one of the staples of the bourbon shelf: Four Roses Small Batch. It’s been a while since we’ve had anything from Four Roses on the podcast, and this expression sits just above their entry-level Yellow Label offering. Where Yellow Label blends all ten of Four Roses’ proprietary bourbon recipes, Small Batch narrows it down to just four: OBSK, OESK, OBSO, and OESO. Four Roses is known for its high-rye and low-rye mash bills and five different yeast strains, which combine to create those ten unique recipes. Small Batch is bottled at 90 proof, up from the 80 proof of Yellow Label, and carries no age statement, though most estimates put it around 6–7 years. With a shelf price around $37, it competes directly with fan favorites like Elijah Craig and Cooper’s Craft 100. Is it worth your money? Let’s find out. This review is taken from our podcast episode " Fight Club (1999) / Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon ." Click the link to listen
