Because Ricky Gervais needs my money, I guess
He’s bought a poncey vodka company. Then he made a whole series of fake ads like this one and claimed they’d been rejected by Transport for London. In truth, he’d never submitted them, but some people swore they’d seen them on the tube (and were awfully offended).
The usual pearl clutchers have clutched pearls because he’s the vodka that cried wolf.
Whatever. They were funny. But that’s old news, the new news is – my shipment of Dutch Barn is late. Should have been here an hour ago.
I bought some for Christmas and liked it, so I’ve just ordered a couple more bottles. It’s grossly overpriced, but once you get on their aggressive mailing list, you get deals.

Yes, Available in the United States!
Looks like the retailers are non-governmental, privately run operations such as exist in South Carolina, Florida and Texas.

My father and I were drinking together some years back and he made what i thought was an interesting observation about Vodka.
“By law, Vodka is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, liquid. So why can you tell the difference between a good Vodka and a bad one? I don’t know but you sure can .”
My father was a deep thinker, especially after a few drinks. I miss him.
