True story, I swear.
I worked with this carpenter who was from outside of Porcupine Hills, Saskatchewan.
In his county, this one motherfucker had had the LB licence for decades.
He had jacked the prices up so bad that bootlegging was rampant out in the sticks.
The local Mountie, as part of his regularly charged duties, would confiscate all non-licensed hootch and store it in a dedicated shed on his property.
The incumbent MP (MLA? sorry, I been away a long time) would then gift it to friends and supporters at Chrimbo and New Year’s, etc.
Oh, that Mountie?
Constable Neilsen?
He had a son.
Named Leslie.
In the States I bought like 3 different bottles of cinnamon whisky and every one of 'em had some off flavor or another. This was after I saw the source (Canada) of Fireball and thought I could do better in a Virginia ABC store (Virginia being a historic home of straight bourbon whiskey). I was so wrong.
Two were off-putting at any temperature, and one was close to being drinkable at freezing but really not worth buying if had at room temperature - and more expensive.
The only cinnamon whiskey that gets everything right, at any temperature, is the Fireball. And while it’s 33%ABV and thus technically a liquer whisky, it’s really good. Fine, whatever. If you’re like me, in a bowling league or a ‘friendly’ poker game (in the US) the Fireball is cheesy but pretty damn perfect.
I don’t know. My wife bought it, but we’re both careful not to buy things that are outrageously expensive. But it’s all academic because the rum was a temporary thing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I personally enjoy bourbon and scotch much more so no big deal. I could see how some would really get into it, though. Much more mild than most whiskeys.
Mount Gay. favored tipple of sailors the world over. Go into any marina bar from Langkawi to Genoa to Kingston, and you’ll find a bottle of Mount Gay rum, and drunk sailors.
Didn’t know South Africa produced a whisky. Found at RT Mart. Super interesting and unique- kinda spicy and sweet yet light and young, and a bunch of flavors I can’t place. Bourbon drinkers might like it.

That Mount Gay XO is okay. But I’d really recommend anything by Foursquare. I don’t know if it’s available in Taipei, but there’s a guy in Tainan who brings it in.
