With all these posts on liquor and wine, I guess I’m becoming quite the alcoholic…  Since the girl I’m kinda/sorta talking to is out of town this week, I haven’t had much to do but play WoW, and Crysis Warhead.  Just “acquired” Warhead last night, and have to say, it’s as awesome as the first one.  If you liked Crysis then it’s for sure a recommended purchase.  I’ll do a full post on it once I’ve had a chance to play it all the way through.  Anyways, back to my alcoholism, this week I tried a couple of new items, and thought why not list them with my on-going list of alcohol dependent related products….

Vodka – Boru

This is a vodka promising “distilled five times” and “product of Ireland”, and we all know the Irish know how to drink.  Going from this vodka’s taste they have yet again not let us down.

Boru Vodka

Boru comes in at the mid-range of the lower price points, but is very very smooth, and for those that don’t care for Sobeski’s sweetish taste, Boru is right up your alley.  This vodka has all the offering of the higher priced varieties like Absolut, etc, with a much lower price tag.  Very highly recommended.  9.5/10 (750ml – Avg $13)

Bourbon -  Red Stag (by Jim Beam) – Black Cherry

This is a surprise for a bourbon.  Very good, and I don’t usually care for them.  The taste starts with a great infusion of black cherry, then comes in behind with the usual Jim Beam bourbon flavor to finish it off.  For a great sipping bourbon this stuff is great.  Not sure I would want to get smashed on it however, but I’ve found getting smashed on any of the “flavored” liquors usually leads to very nasty hangovers, nasty after-tastes and while I’ve not done so, I’m sure they are no fun coming back up Highly Recommended 9/10. (50ml – Avg $1)

I will post back later on the Crysis expansion, going to finish playing through it now.  So far I have found at least one new vehicle from the first one, and 2 new mounted weapons that are pretty bad ass to blow shit up with.  Storyline is dragging at the start (but who plays these games for the plot anyway right).
