@Tago-Mago Here are the PAC-01 and SC-01 versions.
PAC is finished in a Pauillac red wine cask and SC is finished in a Sauternes cask. Both nice but the SC in my opinion is a bit smoother and my slight preference.

April wound up being a good month for whiskey shopping. After acquiring the Woodford batch proof, I also happened upon others I'd been looking for...
I also found a great deal on one I've already had, and vowed to grab another. The markdown made it extremely easy. I'll be saving this one for special occasions...

@SourPower how was that beauty?

@mclaincausey how did the rest of your Berlin trip unfold? Any success picking up a mezcal?
-
@Tago-Mago worked 16 hour days from the hotel until finally getting some time Saturday. Walked all over town and had a great time but no time for mezcal. I absolutely adore Berlin and want to return one day, and probably stay at the Kempinski Adlon again—loved the hotel and best breakfast buffet I’ve ever had, for only €40 including unlimited champagne and caviar.
There’s a lot that Germany does better than the US. Y’all have it pretty good over there!

@SourPower back in the days when whisky was affordable Hibiki 12 (now Harmony lacking the age statement) was a favorite. Enjoy!

Still have a sealed bottle of Hibiki 12 for a rainy day… @mclaincausey
-
Such great stuff!
-
@Tago-Mago Almost exclusively sip. I'll try a cocktail with it in there but generally just enjoy it neat. Same with tequila.
-
@mclaincausey slightly chilled or at room temperature?

@goosehd Room temp. With higher proof ones if it comes out a bit hot I will revisit after 20-30 minutes, or even aerate with a frother.
I have had good cocktails with it, and it can work as a float too, but that's not usually what I do, and I don't mind saving on the calories either
-
@Tago-Mago I mostly sip mezcal out of small cups called copitas,and have orange slices with Sal de Gusano sprinkled on them,to bite into after drinking. I will occasionally float some on top of a margarita turning it into a Mezcalita.
