What is the Quintessential 19th century West European spirit?
When it comes to Great Britain, it seems to be ale, gin and Scotch whiskey. What are the best brands of ale, gin and scotch whiskey? I know Beefeater has actually been around since the 19th century, so that seems like a plus.
When it comes to The Netherlands, they have what is apparently a precursor to gin: Jenever. What are the best brands of jenever? What is the quintessential 19th century German drink? It's beer, no doubt, but what kind? What about the quintessential Belgian ale? I really don't care what the French or Spanish drank.
