Distinguished Spirits

Distinguished Spirits

Making great cocktails at home for amateurs, enthusiasts and everyone in between.

I'm a home bartending enthusiast, but I've never worked in a bar. My focus is usually on how to make great drinks at home. This includes classics, forgotten drinks, modern drinks and occasionally some originals. I also do episodes on how to make some DIY syrups, liqueurs, punches, etc, in a segment called Booze in the Kitchen. I have another sub-set series that focuses on how to drink like James Bond called Cocktails and Pussy Galore. The Bond series focuses on the drinks described in the pages of the 007 books by Ian Fleming. Most of the drinks were Bond's favorites and where applicable, I used the bottles he used, but there were some drinks imbibed by Bond Girls, Bond Villains and Bond Allies as well. There are also a couple episodes about drinks that are similar to ones Bond had or were inspired by Bond.

Please visit the Patreon page in the link above. Cheers!

    Mr Distinguished, I just wanted to say I have been a big fan of your channel for a while, it's my go to for drinks. And I tried this for the first time with a simple and honest appleton 8 and god damn it it is one of my favorite drinks, had a few since then. This should become world famous, it's that good. Hope you come back and give us some more recipes.

    Serious question...not a criticism. Why does aging in the barrel longer than 30 days "go overboard on the oaky-ness"? Wasn't the original Wray and Nephew aged for 17 years in oak barrels? Why wasn't 17 years too long? Why didn't that lead to too much oaky-ness?

    Interesting drink, although Bond was drinking the standard Canadian Club blended. Which is actually a nice, light highball with soda. Especially in that humidity. You wouldn’t want the smoke influence from a blended Scotch in the Caribbean

    Jesus Christ the doc looks freakin' brilliant!!! It's frustrating to know so much shitty content is now available, but the real gems struggle to come out. Today most distributors are total wusses. Hope this will be viewed by the right people and I'm sure it will be picked up. It's too good not to be. Wish you good luck with the festivals! I can't wait to see it!

    The film is not distributed yet. But fingers crossed it will be sooner rather than later. And at that time, hopefully it will be available everywhere. These film festival screenings are kinda like test screenings. Not an official release. Where are you based, out of curiosity?

    My wife loves this drink because she loves aperol spritz and i absolutely hate it because i don't like Campari or bitter flavors at all.

    Campari and Aperol are really sweet. It’s just so hard to tell because it’s so intensely bitter.
