Shock Horror. A new generation is
discovering flavour. After years of seeking increasingly bland liquids,
e.g., Budweiser instead of Guinness or vodka instead of whiskey, a new generation
of drinkers appears to be discovering its taste buds.
Vodka
sales have grown spectacularly in recent years and while may of those
drinking it do so because it doesn’t detract from the flavour of a mix
like Red Bull or coke, a Wine Ireland magazine tasting revealed that there
are many new vodkas flooding the market that actually deliver some lovely
flavours and textures. They are expensive but Martini drinkers will enjoy
these much much more than the standard brands.
On
the Moncrieff show we’ll be tasting a couple of the favourites from the
tasting Rain, an organic corn based vodka from the USA and Grey
Goose, the brand that has taken the US by storm.
Both
were supplied by the Celtic
Whiskey Shop in Dublin.
