Scotch
Scotch is a type of whisky made from malted barley that has been aged at least three years in oak barrels which gives it its distinct flavour profile.

Premium scotch pairs well with cigars so if you’re feeling adventurous then this could be the perfect beverage choice for your 21st birthday celebration!
Beer
Beer is another fermented beverage made from grains like barley and hops. The brewing process involves boiling the grains to extract sugars, which are then fermented by yeast to create alcohol. There are many different types of beer available, from light lagers to dark stouts. And with so many breweries popping up around the country, there’s sure to be a beer out there that suits your taste. Whether you prefer something hoppy or malty, beer is always a good option for celebrating your special day!
Wine
Wine is made from fermented grapes and comes in many different varieties. The type of grape, as well as the climate in which it was grown, will affect the flavour of the wine. Red wines are typically made from darker grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while white wines are usually made from lighter grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. There are also rosé wines, which are made from a blend of red and white grapes. If you’re looking for something sophisticated to drink on your 21st birthday, wine is a great choice.
Champagne
Champagne is a sparkling wine made from fermented grapes that have been grown in the Champagne region of France.

If you want to feel like royalty on your 21st birthday, champagne is definitely the way to go.
