Alcohol Infused Whipped Cream

If you’ve ever wanted to get hammered while eating a slice of Mema’s chocolate pie, then have we got the topping for you. Not surprisingly, Kingfish Spirits Alcohol Infused Whip Cream originates out of Cleveland, Ohio, a city where you really need a good stiff drink to make it through the NFL football season. Well, with this specialty product, you don’t have to have that drink to get the same effect.

Put it on your favorite desserts or coffee. Top off your cocktails. The 30-proof (15%) alcohol content goes with virtually any edible concoction, and it comes in six different flavors: cherry, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, raspberry, and orange. And nobody’s telling you that you can’t eat the stuff by itself either. Order through the website or at least stop by there to see what places sell it near you.

Mount Gay Rum 1703 Old Cask Selection

The first time I ever overplayed my sobriety was with V8 Splash and rum. I now know what a mistake it was to have perverted the flavor of such a tasty beverage with something from the makers of a vegetable juice, but hey, I was a kid! While I still do look on V8 Splash with fond memories, you’ll more likely find me in a store that houses Mount Gay Rum 1703 Old Cask Selection before seeing me partake of the other.

Sporting a silky Cognac flavor, 1703 Old Cask is a cut above what you will find in a bottle of Captain Morgan’s. (Sorry, Cap.) Blender Allen Smith’s concoction puts a variety of different rums to use into one great limited edition package that boasts over 30 years of heritage. A true sipping rum served best by itself or with minimal ice, this may not be for beginning drinkers, but it is definitely a selection for those with some maturity under their belts.

Dave’s Gourmet Adjustable Heat Hot Sauce

Pleasing everyone is difficult, especially when it comes to spicy foods. Some people are pansies and prefer the mild side of things, while others are culinary daredevils, trying to metaphorically jump that Grand Canyon-sized bowl of 5-alarm chili.

Dave’s Gourmet Adjustable Heat Hot Sauce solves this problem by providing eaters with a twist cap that delivers just the right amount of spice. A twist to the left and you’re tasting the devil’s butt crack. A twist to the right and it’s about as hot as San Francisco on a late-August day.

And don’t worry about one-sidedness when it comes to mixing things up. The spices blend evenly, so no matter how you like your hot sauce, it will always taste perfect through-and-through.

Sir Kensington’s Gourmet Scooping Ketchup

It seems that someone has taken the lyrics to that old Barenaked Ladies song, “If I Had a Million Dollars” seriously. The part that says, “Fancy gourmet ketchups,” to be exact. Introducing Sir Kensington’s Gourmet Scooping Ketchup, a new creation from the folks at Kensington & Sons, LLC. If you think about it, this one was a long time coming. All through the years it seems different food product developers have been experimenting with new peanut butters, new jellies, new mustards and mayos.

It was only a matter of time, and from the looks of things, it’s full speed ahead for the Sir Kensington label. Can’t pretend like I’ve tasted the stuff, but one thing is for certain: I’m interested. Look for Sir Kensington at a grocer near you, or order your bottle from the old gent himself. Let’s just hope this is an experiment that pays off as well as Dijon Mustard!

Monkey Shoulder Whisky

You gotta love a whisky named after a joint disorder caused by repetitive stress from making said whisky. Monkey Shoulder (the drink, not the disorder) isn’t available stateside. It’s made from three Speyside single malts (Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie) that are matured in specially chosen Bourbon casks until just the right time.

The end product is a tangy whisky with a hint of citrus and honey. It’s sweet with a slight spice (cinnamon and nutmeg) and hints of oak throughout.

If you’re looking to try a smooth, yet complex and full-flavored whisky, hop across the pond and try to sneak a bottle back on your return flight.

Maker’s 46

Maker’s Mark is a bourbon of class and sophistication. Maker’s 46 takes that class and sophistication to a whole other level through a simple, but extremely effective multi-step process.

Fully matured Maker’s Mark is removed from its barrel and ten wooden seared staves are then screwed to the inside. The staves caramelize the sugars in the wood, adding a sweet and spicy flavor to the bourbon sits right at the front of the tongue. The Maker’s Mark is poured back inside and left to mature for several more months until it’s ready to be bottled, corked and dipped.

Maker’s 46 is rich and creamy, with hints of vanilla and caramel and an oaky finish that is impossible to resist. However, all this luxury for your palette is limited to only 25,000 cases this year, so you better act fast and pick up a bottle…well, now.
