#86 Luksusowa Vodka

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/10/17

As was apparent in Reveal #17, when I was very much NOT excited to discover this bottle of Luksusowa Vodka from Poland in Grandma’s collection, I’m not a huge vodka fan. I like spirits and liqueurs because the flavors are so interesting and, most of the time with vodka, flavor is not the point! But I also like spirits and liqueurs because they have fascinating stories. And on that score, vodka does not disappoint. In this episode I talk about the history of Polish vodka and what makes Luksusowa

2024/10/15

It’s time for another bottle pick from Grandma’s collection of mini liquor bottles and nips. Tune in to see what I found this time, but I will tell you that the whiskey trend that started in Reveal #17 continues, accompanied by a couple of intriguing other bottles!Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mytinybottles.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to watch the video or read the transcript.

#85 La Grande Passion

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/10/10

Bottle #85 is La Grande Passion, a passionfruit and Armagnac liqueur from Marnier-Lapostolle, better known as the makers of Grand Marnier orange liqueur. It was released in 1984, and advertising included art by Andy Warhol and Clayton Lefevre. In this episode I dive into the history of Marnier-Lapostolle, as well as the relationship this bottle might have with another of Grandma's tiny bottles, Bottle #5: Le Grand Amour.

#84 Jim Beam

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/10/08

Since there are lots of places to learn about the Beam family history, in this episode I focus on the faces that appear on the side of each Jim Beam bottle. Who are the generations of distillers? And why are some names and faces on the bottle while others aren't? I also talk about the wide-ranging influence of the Beam family on bourbon whiskey in general. But here are some links if you want more of their story: Jim Beam story: https://www.jimbeam.com/en-us/behind-the-bourbon/our-story Jim Beam

Tasting Dusty Booze with Aaron Goldfarb

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/10/03

Aaron Goldfarb‘s latest book is Dusty Booze: The Search for Vintage Spirits, and in it he tells the stories of vintage spirit collectors and the subculture that has sprung up around the pursuit of dusty bottles. So he seemed like the perfect guest for My Tiny Bottles. Aaron chose a pair of eclectic liqueurs to crack open with me – DeKuyper Apple Barrel Schnapps and Convier Menta. Listen in to find out why the Peach Schnapps craze of the 1980s changed the bourbon landscape, and why mint liqueur is

Tasting Canadian Club with my Dad

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/10/02

When I realized my tiny bottle of Canadian Club was from 1972, I knew I had no choice about who to taste it with. That’s my birth year, so clearly I was going to taste it with my Dad! We do that in this episode, but we also reminisce a lot about Grandma. If you want to know more about the woman behind the collection (and I hope you do) then this one’s for you. It’s got tons of family pictures, too!Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this episode on

#83 Lot No. 40 Canadian Whisky

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/10/01

In this episode I talk about how Canadian whisky is made, what makes Canadian whisky different from American whiskey, and why in Canada it's all called "rye". When Lot No. 40 was first released in 1998 (the era of my bottle), it broke a lot of those rules, which helped explain why it came and went, then came again. But since 2012 it's been here to stay, thanks to the craft cocktail revival and changing whiskey tastes. Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this bottle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on

#82 Canadian Club

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/09/24

Hiram Walker was a Massachusetts-born American who only spent four years actually living in Canada. But despite all that, he would go on to be one of Canada's most influential distillers, and his legacy lives on still today. In this episode Tammy explores how Walker's "Club" Whiskey became Canadian, and why it makes her think of her childhood.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this bottle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mytinybottles.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for

Ciclón was a rum & tequila mashup released by Bacardi in 2002. In this tasting episode I was joined by Greg Benson, a Brooklyn-based food & beverage writer, host of the Speakeasy podcast, and part of Quiote Imports. We were really excited to try something we full expected to be terrible, so give this episode a watch to find out if we were right! Find Greg

#81 Bacardi Ciclón

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/09/18

Ciclón was a rum & tequila mashup released by Bacardi in 2002. It's one of those love it or hate it products, with plenty of positive reviews on the Internet, including people absolutely bereft when it was discontinued in 2008. Tammy dives into the history of Ciclón, and what might have led Bacardi to release such an unusual product!

#80 Morandini Morovo

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/09/10

If there's one thing less appetizing than a spoiled cream liqueur, it's a spoiled egg liqueur! But it turns out that 1) there are a lot of egg liqueurs in the world and 2) the ones from Italy have a fun history. So that's what I dove into in my episode about this bottle of Morandini Morovo.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this bottle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mytinybottles.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for pictures and more.

Tasting 1970's Hennessy with ms. franky

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/09/05

For this tasting video I was joined by the incomparable and fabulous ms. franky marshall. As a NYC-based modern bartender and Cognac educator she brought so much knowledge and expertise to this tasting. We talked about the rich history of Cognac, including how it's made and enjoyed, and what's happening in modern Cognac trends. Then we dove into tasting and comparing two tiny bottles - my grandma's bottle of 1970s Hennessy Cognac and a modern bottle. While they were both delicious, the

#79 Monnet "Tradition" Cognac

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/09/04

Monnet Cognac is a fine old brand, with roots going back to 1838. In this episode I dive into why it's been called a "sunny" style of Cognac, and what it means that it's labeled a 4 star Cognac. I also dig into its unexpected connection the EU, through Jean Monnet, who wanted to create a "United States of Europe" and who funded that work by selling the family company.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this bottle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on

Tasting Sloe Gin with Gergő

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/08/31

Since Sloe Gin came from England, it only seemed right for me to take my 1970s bottle of Old Mr Boston Sloe Gin back there for tasting! My guest was Gergő Muráth, aka @sixty.twenty.twist, Prestige Brand Ambassador for Sipsmith Gin. We talk about the history of sloe gin, how to make it, and how to use it. And of course we taste the 50 year old bottle from my grandmother's collection and compare it to the modern craft sloe gin that @sipsmith makes.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this episode on

Yay! It's my first proper gin from Grandma's collection! (Sloe gin doesn't count, but I'll have a great tasting video of that later in the week.) Gilbey's is a classic London Dry Gin with a long history, and in this episode I dive into why they were one of the most counterfeited brands during US Prohibition. And what they did about it.

This one has a couple bottles of whiskies I'm excited to taste, and one that I'm not. Then there's a mystery liqueur, and a bottle that I was downright offended to find out existed.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mytinybottles.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to watch the video or read the transcript.

#75 Courvoisier

My Tiny Bottles with Tammy Coxen ·

2024/08/01

While the youngest of the Big Four houses, Courvoisier Cognac has definitely made its mark. Like Bottle #19: Hennessy, it is particularly well loved by the African American community and was commemorated by rap group Busta Rhymes in the 2001 hit “Pass the Courvoisier.” But long before that association, Courvoisier was capitalizing on another famous personality: Napoleon Bonaparte. This required an impressive bit of marketing, given that Napoleon died in 1821: 17 years before the House of
