Not exactly whisk(e)y but hopefully a sympathetic audience.
This liqueur, The Kings Ginger, has a wonderful back story. It was specifically made on the request of King Edward VII’s doctor as a stiff drink to fortify him when *driving his Daimler in all weathers*!
It was specifically made for drink driving😂

Well, that's definitely an interesting back story. Of course, "driving" back then was quite different than it is today. 🤣

Indeed. Especially if you’re the King of the British Empire near its peak in 1903. Like 25% of the planet were your subjects.

Wow that is very interesting. Thank you for sharing this.

They altered the formula and reduced the alcohol concentration. I enjoyed the original but hate the current one; based on reviews, this appears to be the popular viewpoint as well.

Interestingly enough, I used to do their social media.

I’ll allow it.

I've had no success finding any original bottles in the UK, and King's Ginger has verified that they no longer sell it or have plans to bring it back. Domaine de Canton is said to be good and identical to the original, but my order hasn't come yet, so I can't confirm.

living at home with my parents and they both tested positive for covid this week. I haven’t felt so great this past week, and I’ve most probably caught it from them. Going to get tested tomorrow as well. That being said, we’re going into our heaviest week of busy season. I know I should be able to take time off cause of covid but I feel bad. Like I could sit in front of my laptop and do work, but my body feels so weak and sometimes I’m a little slow. (Cont.)
