A famous U.S. bourbon. The scissor-tailed hummingbird is the national bird of Jamaica, nicknamed the “Doctor Bird.” Like the image at the top, the Scots love golden eagles. This Canadian whisky is referencing the snowy owl. Macaws don’t live in Barbados except when you’re drinking. A French vodka named after the Toulouse goose (I’m not making this up!).
