- Ooo!
- Oh, well, I can't wait.
(playful music)
- I'm expecting beer.
- Beer, lagers.
Do they have to assemble their own drinks?
- Well, if they're cocktails, yes.
- True, there you go.
- I think there's probably going to be a blonde beer.
There has to be spirits surely?
- Ah, yeah,
they have to have Svedka. - Vodka?
- Something along those lines.
- I hear Swedish vodka is meant to be pretty good.
- Absolut.
- Yeah, but like the, beyond Absolut,
like there's other ones.
- Why would you need something else
when Absolut is everything?
(upbeat music)
Sofiero. - Sofiero.
I think it's beer.
- I don't why but when I see those two colors
I always think it's gonna be a blonde,
I don't know why. - Yeah.
- I can feel my healthcare system
and social services increasing by holding this can.
(fizz of can opening)
- I'm so, gosh, darn mad.
- Ah, Jesus James.
- Sorry, I poured that ours was, my bad.
I forgot the beer, it has the foam part.
- It smells fantastic.
- It smells really nice.
- I wish I could tell without all this foam on it.
- Yep. - So it smells like beer
to me.
Oh, my lipstick, I didn't even drink it
and I got lipstick on the glass.
- This fruit in it, right?
Are you getting a fruit (laughing)?
Much like this video, there's fruit in it.
(clinking of glasses) - Cheers!
- Oh yeah.
- Oh, that's so good.
- That's so smooth
- I'm a non beer drinker.
And this is actually nice.
- I mean, there's nothing distinct about it
is the only thing I'd say like.
There's no standout-- - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's just like, "Oh beer" but like,
I'm not going to taste them
and be like, "Oh that's a Sofiero if ever I've tasted one."
- God yeah, you could drink this all day.
- Yeah, that's so light.
- Pity it comes in such a small can.
- We need to make reference to the fact
that you're bringing a very Swedish inspired hairstyle.
Again! - I just knew
that the Swedes would want me to make the effort.
- Blondes aren't more fun.
I find reds are.
- Oh, that's a nine!
- That's high.
Yeah, it's high on the scale.
- It's nicer than most of the beers you can buy here.
- I'd take this stock home.
- Oh!
(playful music)
- Oh, I really like the look of that can.
- Ooo!
- Arboga (speaks in foreign language).
- This can! - This is 7.3.
Oh the last one was 5.2.
- It's very Swedish lookin'.
- Yeah, I like it.
(beer pouring) - I swear this is mine.
- No!
(laughing)
No.
- [Camera Woman] No, James, leave it.
- Goddammit. - See Mom says
that you have got to give it to me.
(cheers in foreign language)
Oh yeah, absafuckingloutely.
- No
- I prefer that because there's more flavor on it.
There's a bit of life, but character.
- I can taste artificial flavors
but there's no artificial sweedners.
Ah, he likes it!
- So heavy.
- Oh, I love it.
I think it's so good.
- It smells like piss.
I'm not gonna lie.
- Oh, it actually does,
people say that about beer all the time
and it actually smells like urine.
- It's like-- - I hate that.
- It's like, I don't know.
It's just more full bodied or more just,
just tastier all round.
- It looks like a lager
but it tastes like a keg kind of thing.
- Yeah, it has the consistency of a Guinness.
- You know what, this is a Swede dish, mmm.
- Ooo. - Ooo girl.
- Which is much like the Swedes in general,
there's not much, I don't know anything about them
really. - Yeah, yeah.
- And it's very like, I want to know more.
- Yeah, it's there
and you know, it's there. - Yeah.
Just give me something more.
Considering I gave the last one six, and it had 5%,
this one is 7.3%.
So I'm far more on board
'cause it's gonna get you where you need to go quicker.
So I would give that about seven and a half.
- I can't fault them on their beer.
I enjoyed this beer, but also I have no sense of taste
in any sense of the word.
- Bring on the spirits!
(upbeat music)
- Yes! - It's just vodka.
- Yes!
- Is that Swedish? - Absolut Vodka is
not Swedish.
I refuse to believe, it's not Swedish.
- I did not know this was Swedish.
Swedish vodka, look, it says right on the top!
- Well, it actually says Swedish vodka right on it.
(laughing)
- Look and then it says on the bottom produced in Sweden.
I've never noticed that now.
- See you're too busy drinking it all these years
and never actually took time to read it.
- Mmm.
- Swedish notes off it.
- Thing is, I have a love, hate relationship with vodka
in that I hate it
and I don't know why I put the word love in there.
- That is beautiful.
- As vodka goes, it's very smooth.
- Ah yeah, that's vodka, yeah.
- God, this tastes like nothing.
This is so--
- That's how you know it's good.
- I will say, that's not the worst vodka
I've ever drank straight.
- No.
- Did you know that Sweden is the largest
northern country of Europe?
- I didn't know that, there you go, thank you.
- This would be lovely with a 7UP now
if you had actually give me a 7UP
I would drink that whole thing
and I will be very happy about it.
- All that's missing is maybe a couple
of ice cubes and us being on a beach.
(upbeat music)
- Is it whiskey?
It's whiskey!
Yay!
- I hate vodka,
love whiskey. - Love whiskey.
- I don't like whiskey.
- It's beautiful. - Ooo.
Nice bottle. - This is stunning.
- They love their clear bottles now
for spirits, you can see what you're getting.
- Heidi, I'm ready for some Irish ASM,
ASM or.
(bottle popping) - Wow.
- Oh is it ten year old single malt?
- I don't have a clue.
- Irish whiskey is a mix of malted and unmalted barley.
So this is different.
It's just malt.
- 46%. - Smells very legit, 46?
- Generally whiskey, depending on how many times
it's distilled tells you how many times it's been
placed at different barrels.
This is only single distilled
so this is going to be a very strong taste.
I know that. - This is 46.1.
- There you go. The more distillation
their lower percentage it gets as well.
(coughing) - Ooo, oh that's good.
- Oh my God, do you feel the fire?
- Yeah. - Oh my God,
my stomach's on fire.
- Divine.
- That is a strong whiskey, but a good whiskey.
- Imagine taking a whiteboard marker.
Screwing the bottom off, pulling the whole inkwell out
and just going ugh.
- I actually find that easier than the whiskey shoot
we did have of other Irish ones,
I find that a little easier to drink.
- This is delicious, I fucking love whiskey!
- I give it a zero
out of ten. - You give it a zero?
- Yeah. - Ah no, this is my favorite
of the ones we've tried so far.
- So do you give it a 10?
- I give it a 10.
I'd give it a 10.
- But I, it's just drinking it straight like.
I would love a hot whiskey, right now.
- This one is a little bit harsher
but I think because it's a bit harsher.
you're just gonna drink it straight anyway.
You're gonna, you're just gonna be like, well look, this
this is a strong whiskey.
I'm gonna knock her back straight
because sure, Jesus, that's how she's made.
She's made for straight drinking.
She's not made for no ginger ale or no lime.
- Absolut's my favorite vodka.
- Yeah. - That's a nice whiskey.
- Finishing on a high with some delicious ten-year whiskey.
- We liked Sweden.
- Yeah.
- Well done Sweden.
Like we thought we were good at making alcohol.
Like Sweden are pretty good too.
- Fine bunch of lads, the Swedes.
Sure, they know how to make a few drinks.
- Sure they do.
I wonder all the Swedish people will be like, what?
Why did you pick those four,
there's so much more exciting alcohol that we had.
The best one's obviously Absolut,
the whiskey's cool.
- Me and that whiskey would be best pals.
- Me and that whiskey would, you know, live together maybe
and potentially if things were going okay
I might introduce them to my parents.
And if you know what, down the line
we felt like buying a house together.
We'll see if we can get a mortgage.
But mortgage approval is very hard to come by these days
but sure look, we'll see what happens.
It's early days yet.

The bell is over there.
Oh my God, we're in a really small box right now.
What happened?
Why did we get smaller?
- Colin, Colin, help.
- Well, the bell's over there so if you click it.
- Colin, I can't drink my drink in this confined space.
