First to avoid the plastic taste, remove bottle from plastic container This is true of many of the Nuka Products. Two it is more novelty than a preferred rum. 3 might be better with a mix like coke or Dr. Pepper
Bugthesda (lack of) Standards!
Even though I don't drink alkohol, I am sure I am able to mix something together which deserves more the name Nuka-Dark. What I thought of? Just Cola-Rum. Or if possible Rum made out of Cola. Well, if that is possible.
$80?!
Shoddy product with fragile, poorly designed plastic that got advertised as frosted glass and cheap alcohol that probably wasn't given any time to age because it needed to be shipped out ASAP, all for $80. Meanwhile I can go to any other liquor store and easily find a cheaper bottle as low as less than half the price with better presentation and, probably most importantly, better taste. But I guess the liquor store doesn't have the Fallout approved branding, so what do I know? I'm not Todd Howard!
Drinking with Beast from the X-Men goddamn man your hair!! A true man!
Lmfaoooooo their reaction on first taste absolutely sends me
I put it in Dr Pepper and it made it taste like Dr Shasta
Awesome!!!
U better of fished them beers a person of your culture should just stick with wine tasting other then that I hope you had a great birthday
Thanks David. I didn’t finish them but I did blend them all into a pot and distilled them into a mixed source unaged spirit. It wasn’t very good. So I dumped that.
I would like you to do a review of Blue Label, by Johnnie Walker, recommended and labeled as the best in the world by Alfio "Coco" Basile, and which became a meme because of him
Sad to see the audio is a bit off. Nice interview
I mean to be fair this thing was just a novelty so you can't really expect it to be all that good.
My expectations were low. If it was $40, I would agree with you. But $80, it needed to be much higher quality or have some better takeaway.
In my opinion, Death & Co. is an exceptionally tremendous book, but Cocktail Codex is the King of all. The method used to remember any classic using 6 fundamental drinks was brilliant and it totally worked for me. Constantly reviewing the cocktail branch page of every chapter continues to be vital in the memorization and recognition of any cocktail.
Yep. I agree with you there. Thanks for watching.
The first Death & Co book opened up a dangerous hobby for me. The professional attitude to quality in that book, where the cavalcade of specific brands of spirits and types of ingredients called for is presented as "this way or no way", can make it very difficult to not buy something you recognise from the book if you see it for a good price.
I hear that. It was the Rouge Cocktail for me. That took me down a deep rabbit hole of spirits and recipes.
For my families gift exchange we do alcohol, and I thought it would be funny to just buy a bunch of 40s, but I haven't drank a 40 since I was a teenager, so thanks for posting this so I can buy some that people will actually drink haha
How did it turn out? Did you get anything good? Thanks for watching.
@@NickDrinks I ended up stealing my own gift at the end, thankfully I mostly bought Mexican caguamas haha
@@MN-vw2lo I think that was a good move.
You don’t understand, this is supposed to taste like it actually survived hundreds of years in a radiated wasteland
coming back to this, It was all worth it for that clip "ah gah, can I swear on this? it's my own show. That's terrible!", 🤣Feels like you should get some kind of wounded-in-service medal
Word to the wise, alcohol eats away at plastic, meaning that if you drink alcohol from plastic bottle or in plastic containers like solo cups, you’re ingesting your daily dose of microplastics.

Great video, 10/10 for effort and presentation. It's a shame this doesn't have more views, cheers!
Thanks! I just need to make more videos. That would help get the algorithm chugging.
If you truly enjoy an aperol spritz, this might be a poor substitute. I was excited to try this, but it disappointed me. The Miller high life just drowns out too much of the other flavors I was hoping to enjoy. It was still nice to try something new.
Steel reserve 211 is my favorite beer
Can you explain to me why is the icehouse beer bottle red
Not sure. Maybe it's local to me. Where are you based?
I like how they shit talk it but end the video by taking a sip lol
for a gaming studio that cant set up a game with keybinds Im not surprised
Now we just gotta get Nick to play Mario Kart while drunk 🍺
Nice!
Great video bad drink got it
"Don't try to make every drink in the Death & Co. book." Challenge accepted...
Be careful. :-D
Who’s here from Sheshounet ?
"this is horrible" *takes a second sip* thank fuck im not an alcoholic
As a Swede, Akvavit is the nektar from the GODS!! We clean our young'uns in it, rub it in your eyes if you look tired
Just came across your channel and am lovin' it! Noticed you just released 1 video since this one about a month ago - I really hope to see more from you because your stuff is great! Cheers!
Found your channel quite recently from your Nuka Dark Rum and then Watershed Distillery videos, but was disappointed that it seemed as though you’d gone on to different pursuits. As a new fan, I’m happy to see you uploading again. Cheers!
Great Review Nick keep it up and glad to see you back!
Thanks!
You should review Marilyn Manson’s absinthe.
I believe I have heard of it. Let me see if I can get it.
Cocktail making is known to be a science, and not just because of its magical powers to uplift moods all over. But, add the right music in the background and you have the mood to relax and enjoy the day!
Glad to see you posting again and that you are well.
Thank you for the kind words.
Purchase both yesterday and tasted the dark yesterday. It was phenomenal neat! I'm a bourbon drinker, and enjoy this brand.
Enjoy. I finished this bottle a few weeks ago.
Aldi needs to sell this stuff state side! I just sent them a email! Everyone else send them a email and demand this stuff to be sold in their stores!
Great idea.
Mans got hairy arms
I like how the bottle turns away as if it's emberassed for being so crappy
Hi Nick Drinks, I don't know if you'll see this comment but I want to ask. Can you make & review the Kaito Sunrise? It's a drink made to promote the video game Lost Judgment & the video even shows ingredients like what to use & how much. ua-cam.com/video/KRneEdiqmUE/v-deo.html
Don't drink their Kool aid. This young "Man" fires employees just because they disagreed with a school board. Gutless little boy, bet Grandpa would be so proud of Andrew.
Gentleman! This is an Elixer tasting, and you failed to do the two most important things. You didn't gently mix the bottles which will definitely affect the taste of the cocktails, as I would imagine there is tons of settlement in the bottom of the container and you didn't use any garnishes which adds to the aroma and sensory experience when tasting each drink. In my opinion, I would properly redo the tasting. experience again.
OMG wtf is in my hair? 😫
OMG what is in my hair ?!
Harpy Limoncello is amazing!
