Old B&B is not = to new B&B

My parents have a bottle of B&B from the '50s that we break out on holidays. It is amazing. So smooth and boozy. I picked up a bottle of B&B at the liquid store and it's SO sweet and syrupy. I'm sure there is something to the aging process and maybe they just make it sweeter now. What would be comparable to the old bottle - just a straight brandy? Any suggestions?

What’s the best Irish cream liqueur bottle in the planet?

A gift is needed for someone who loves Baileys too much. Looking for something that represents the best of the genre.

Alcoholic Juice Box

Is there an alcoholic juice box out there? Like a classic juice box, not beat box or those wine ball things. Imagine a middle school lunch juice box - that kind

Found an old bottle of Ouzo!

Anyone here like Ouzo? Found this old unopened bottle (still trying to figure out how old). I like anise liquors so I might have to give this a try soon. I’ve never had Ouzo though, I assume it tastes similar to Pastis.

Someone I know was on vacation in Puerto Rico. I taught this wasn't sold in the USA ? I can never find one locally unless it's a seller.

v6 - Nearing the end! I moved the Asian spirits to their own bubble. Simplified whiskey back down to regions (plus bourbon & rye for US). Added High ABV to neutral spirits. Expanded "Other Fruit Brandies". At this point I'm mostly looking for error checking. Is anything here wrong?

Tequila Intolerant??

IS THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING?? The internet has been sort of useless, but I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or if I am insane. I, generally speaking can drink vodka like a fish. Love some malibu rum, and I'm a slut for salted caramel irish creme.

I handle my alcohol relatively well, very rarely vomit and most days following a night out, I bounce back surprisingly well. In saying that, there is one drink I physically cannot stomach even a drop of. Tequila. I did 2 or 3 shots of tequila during my 19th birthday, and have never experienced anything like that pain in my life. I thought my organs were going to come up I was vomiting so aggressively. There was legitimately nothing left inside of me, and I still continued to wretch. I had the security guards asking my friend if they should call an ambulance 💀 My friend carried my lifeless corpse into her house from the Uber, and that is were I lay, boderline comatose for 12 hours.

I swore off tequila, but then, people kept saying how much they loved tequila. How I had probably just had too much, too fast or how it was bad quality and blah blah blah. So here I was, almost a year later, already several drinks deep into my go to (vodka, my love). I was enjoying my night, and I decided, for science, I would do 1 singular shot of tequila and just let that marinate. Surely the outcome can't be as bad as the last time? Not even 20 minutes later, I am laying, locked in a bathroom stall crying because I once again can't stop WRETHCING. There is water everywhere because I can't hold anything down, and my mouth felt all weird and tingly. I was once again vomiting nothing more than water into a bag, in my friends living room.

Is a tequila specific allergy a thing?? I don't get hives or a rash or anything, but my gastrointestinal state is actually DERANGED. It is the most awful feeling in the world, and I desperately need to know if this is something that other people also experience so I don't feel as insane 👹

Diagram v5 - expanded rum, added pomace & baijiu, put absinthe back in flavored neutral. Tried to fix whiskeys, but that part's a mess

Is this an accurate diagram of the spirits? (The tequila/mezcal circles are trying to show that mezcal is a bigger category that contains tequila...)

Christmas Tequila

My dad loves Tequila. He loves 1800 but I wanna get him something different. Is there any brand that is better than 1800? I'm willing to spend money for a special bottle for the holidays.

The Firepit is what I call my recent drink made from a sample mix pack of liqueurs & Pendleton Canadian Whiskey.

I started with the Giffard peach paired with the Espelette pepper liquor, now am almost out of that half way through the apricot. Made the name when I switched because they’re both fruits with pits and I like the spicy fire.

Tequila and getting a sore throat

So for context, tequila is my drink of choice and though I don't consume it regularly, albeit probably only 3 times a year max. Everytime I drink it the same thing happens: I get a horrible sore throat followed by a cold and throat infection. It's absolutely wild and this doesn't happen with other alcohols. The time before the last time this happened, it was odd. I had a shot and instantly I felt my throat burn and woke up the next day sick as a dog. Runny nose, throat pain and unable to speak. Though the last time this happened, when I thought I could avoid this as long as I drank a mixed drink woth plenty of water - I slowly felt my throat hurting and again, woke up sick.

I need advice 😩

Trying to find the age of this bottle

Trying to find out how old this bottle may be that we just opened at a friends house. They didn’t think it was that old, but I can’t find any other bottles online that are Shop Rite branded liquors.
