Booze Poll: What’s Your Favorite Booze Infused Commercial?

This is what liquor ads used to look like.

Attention grabbing visuals, a soundtrack that gets stuck in your head, and of course an intoxicating beverage are just a few of the elements that combine to make a great liquor commercial…

Over the past 2.5 years, we’ve posted several liquor commercials that we’ve either seen on TV, or stumbled upon as we surf the interwebz. We have so far covered Cuervo 1800, Wild Turkey, Jim Beam, Suntory Whisky, and Johnnie Walker. The fact that we enjoy these commercials shouldn’t be a shock. This is a blog that is mostly about drinking after all.

According to a recent article in Advertising Age (click here to check it out for yourself), you can expect to see many more of these commercials as the spirits industry continues to roll out new products such as “flavored whiskies and other line extensions”.

Below are five more commercials that we’ve stumbled upon over the past few months which we found to be highly entertaining…

Beer Review – Maine Beer Company Collaboration Time 1

During my 2012 family vacation to Maine a few weeks ago, I learned my lesson from my two previous family vacations, i.e. there is no time for brewery tours or serious Craft Beer hunting when you have two small boys, and instead decided to focus on picking up some really good Craft Beers to bring home whenever I had the opportunity. My prime target was the Maine Beer Company, and I actually managed to sneak away for a couple hours so that I could take a ride up to Portland and pay a visit to the brewery.

If you visit Maine Beer Company’s website, the following message from the owners/brewers is at the bottom of the screen:

Booze Advertising – Suntory White Whisky

Here at “It’s just the booze dancing…”, we LOVE our Japanese whisky! The words “Suntory Fun Time!” are said on numerous occasions during our many whisk(e)y drinking sessions.

Last Tuesday evening, Limpd and I met up with Yossi (founder of the Jewish Single Malt Whisky Society) for a few drinks at The Cooperage in Center City Philadelphia. When we started talking about Japanese whisky, he mentioned that Sammy Davis, Jr. did a commercial for Suntory White Whisky back in the 1970s. Yossi was kind

How About Some Knob Creek Bourbon Caramel Sauce For Dessert?

During a recent office lunch at Fogo de Chao in Philadelphia (we dubbed this meal MeatFest or Meat-A-Palooza!), I was thoroughly stuffed and found myself declining dessert (my colleagues were flabbergasted!).  Instead of ordering Fogo de Chao’s fiendishly delicious Papaya Cream (the gastronomic equivalent of
