While the youngest of the Big Four houses, Courvoisier Cognac has definitely made its mark. Like Bottle #19: Hennessy, it is particularly well loved by the African American community and was commemorated by rap group Busta Rhymes in the 2001 hit “Pass the Courvoisier.” But long before that association, Courvoisier was capitalizing on another famous personality: Napoleon Bonaparte. This required an impressive bit of marketing, given that Napoleon died in 1821: 17 years before the House of Courvoisier was officially founded in 1838. Find out all about it in this episode inspired by my 1980s bottle from Grandma's collection.

Hello My Tiny Bottles listeners! This summer has been really hectic, and I don't have a new episode for you this week. Instead, I'm bringing you a guest episode from another podcast I think you'll love - Liquor and Liqueur Connoisseur. Host Matt Birchard and I are planning to meet up later in the year to taste some Tiny Bottles together, but in the meantime, I wanted to give you a sneak peak at his podcast. This particular episode is Matt's take on Bottle #72 - Myers's Rum. He did some amazing digging to find out the origin story of the brand. Without it, I would have had almost nothing to say when I first talked about the company in Bottle #45 - Myers Original Rum Cream. So it's a really nice complement to my episodes. Give it a listen, and be sure to subscribe if you enjoy Matt's approach as much as I do! Cheers!

Grandma's collection of miniature liquor bottles has gifted me with three different coffee liqueurs so far - a 1960s or 70s Tia Maria, 1980s Cafe Noir from McGuinness, and 1990s Coloma coffee liqueur. In this episode I open them all with Bea Bradsell. Bea is director of The Drink Cabinet and daughter of Dick Bradsell, the man who invented the espresso martini, and a really important figure in the history of UK mixology. Bea and I talk about Dick's legacy, sample grandma's tiny bottles of coffee liqueur, and discuss which one would work best in an espresso martini. Find Bea at:
