10 Things You May Not Know About Whisky!

While it is in our name, here at WineFolder we offer much more than just wine to meet all of our customers’ alcohol preferences. From Crown Royal Canadian Whisky to Johnnie Walker Scotch Blue Label, we have a fantastic premium whisky selection at unbeatable prices. Our online liquor store is filled to the brim with just the kind you are searching for, and we want to make sure that the next time you talk about the whisky you purchased from us, you sound like you have been enjoying it for years. Here are some facts about whisky to impress anyone at your next dinner party or barbeque.

1.     You may have noticed that whisky can be spelled one of two ways. “Whisky” is used to describe whisky from Scotland and Canada, and “whiskey” is used everywhere else.

2.     A whisky’s color comes directly from the wooden cask that it is stored in. Originally clear, the color develops over time through the aging process. The cask also affects the whisky’s flavor.

3.     There are over five thousand types of whisky in the world today. So many flavors, so little time!

4.     The oldest whisky ever is a bottle of Glenavon Special Liqueur Whiskey, according to Guinness World Records. It was bottled sometime between 1851 and 1858!

5.     There are five regional whiskies: Scotch whisky, Canadian whisky, Irish whiskey, Tennessee whiskey, and Kentucky bourbon.

6.     Ninety percent of single malt whisky comes directly from Scotland.

7.     Whisky means “water of life” in Gaelic. Drink to your health!

8.     Whisky production is an eco-friendly process. Distilleries offload their corn and grain pulp excess to dairy farms for livestock feed.

9.     Although we doubt you will wait this long to find out, a bottle of opened whisky can stay good for up to five years.

10.  The most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold was a Macallan “M” whisky that went for $628,205 at an auction in Hong Kong!

Summer Cognac Cocktails - Featuring Remy Martin

Your New Favorite Summer Cognac Cocktail

Summer is just around the corner, and we're sure that in addition to endless beach days, some crazy nights are going to come with it! And, if you're like us here at Winefolder, you're wondering what will be the drink that defines your summer nights. You need something bold, something tangy, and something to be reckoned with. Well, we think we've found the answer: the sidecar. It's tart, potent, and exhilarating, and it makes great use of delicious Remy Martin Cognac Accord Royal – which you can order for delivery right here at Winefolder. For this blog, we'll tell you everything you need to make the perfect summer cocktail.

What You'll Need

·       2 oz Remy Martin Cognac Accord Royal

·       1 oz your favorite Orange Liqueur

·       .75 oz lemon juice

·       1 slice cut lemon

·       1 lemon wheel

Rim your glass with the cut lemon, being sure to get the outside covered in juice. Dip the glass into superfine sugar to coat the rim. Combine the cognac, liqueur, and lemon juice in a shaker, and then strain into the glass. To finish it off, garnish it with a lemon wheel. If you’re looking for a little variety, try this same recipe with our Remy Martin VSOP, Remy Martin XO Excellence, or any other Remy Martin Cognac we carry.

We love this drink because it's the perfect combination of two opposing flavors. The drink itself is sour and aggressive - it's the perfect thing to wake you up and get you ready for the night. But, the sugar coated rim rounds things out and keeps the drink balanced. These two flavors work against each other in a way that's sure to enhance your nights this summer!

Cheers To All The Mothers Out There!

-->

Mother’s Day is a special day that celebrates the motherhood of millions of women across the globe. This is a day to recognize the many sacrifices that mother’s make in order for their children to prosper.  Here are some ideas to show appreciation this Mother’s Day!

Breakfast And Mimosas

What better way to celebrate a special day or that special someone than with bubbly. Champagne is a traditional beverage that is enjoyed over toasts, good company, and goes extremely well with fresh squeezed orange juice. Normally, it’s Mom who cooks the breakfast, but considering the fact that it’s her day, you’ll need to step up to the plate and knock it out of the park with this one. Make her favorite meal and complement it with a refreshing mimosa that everyone will enjoy! Cooking your own meal is a great way to spend time with the family and beats waiting hours to be seated at the restaurants that are guaranteed to be busy on Mother’s Day weekend. 

 

Pack A Cooler And Hit The Water!

Dependent on what city and state you are from, one idea that your mother will be sure to love is a Duffy ride! These Duffies can be rented for a few hours or the entire day but allows you and your family to cruise along the shores of your local coast. Many companies allow you to bring your own food and drinks which is a perfect time to crack open the Ciroc and enjoy your favorite vodka based drinks from Cosmos to Moscow Mules. Adding these refreshing drinks will be sure to add some excitement and laughs to this special day!

Wine & Dine

Wining and dining is one of the most common ways people celebrate Mother’s Day. Just like making breakfast, making dinner is one way to avoid the long lines and mediocre service on this special day. Steak, lobster, and a fine glass of Remy Martin go extremely well together. Remy’s recommended to be sipped slowly so that you are able to enjoy the many flavors and aromas that this cognac gives off.

You Want It? We Got It!

Whatever celebration you may be planning, be sure to check out Winefolder. We have a vast selection of liqueurs, spirits, and beers for any occasion. Please drink responsibly and we hope your Mother’s Day is full of spirits, laughs, and love!

Celebrate Cinco De Mayo The Right Way!

With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking of the ingredients to a memorable festivity. There’s no better way, or liquor to celebrate with than tequila. Tequila is a smooth liquor derived from the Agave plant that adds a texture of earthiness to its palette of bold flavors, and serves as a great base in many alcoholic beverages.

H2: Stay Cool

Cilantro coolers are a great alternative to the traditional margaritas and sangrias. With its light and refreshing base, it is a drink that can be enjoyed before or after your favorite meal.

H2: An American classic with a Mexican flair.

The Bloody Mary is a famous beverage enjoyed by millions. Typically made with a base of vodka, this is a refreshing, savory, and spicy beverage. How can you spice it up even more? Simple. Add tequila. Substituting tequila for vodka is a great alternative that can add an even broader palette of flavors to this drink, introducing the Bloody “Maria.” This is a great way to add a Spanish flair to this traditional beverage that is sure to be a hit at your Cinco de Drinko festivities.

H2: Ingredients

1 Lemon wedge 1 Lime wedge 2 oz. Don Julio Reposado Tequila 4 oz. Tomato Juice 2 dashes of Tabasco sauce 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce 1 pinch celery salt 1 pinch of ground black pepper
