Old Forester is what I'd say is the bottom price-wise of mid-tier bourbon, and pretty good for the price. I've never had their specialty/limited bourbons, so clue if I should be excited about this or not.
funnily enough i'd never heard of it in the uk, but like i said i don't really know a huge amount of whiskey brands beyond some obvious ones and a few brands of scotch. i'll see if any bars serve it around here since the only bourbon frame of reference i have is jim beam and i quite like that
I think the McDonald's placement was purposely obnoxious and poorly placed as a bit of satire and reference to the Royale with cheese conversation.
i know it was a bit of a piss take with the whole slow reveal and the expectations of a lavish meal subverted but it still felt like an advertisement with the characters discussing their preferred burgers in front of a platter covered in mcdonald's logos.
the sun promotion justification in the film on the is a hell of a lot more flimsy but i'm not surprised when it's murdoch promoting his own paper in a film made by his own studio.
not that i'm ragging on the film or angry that it had product placements (a lot of films do) but i do think it was quite a bit too blatant at times
