@WhiskeySandwich The Ilegal Anejo is on sale at Old Town Tequila. Obviously there will be a shipping charge,but if you can get a couple of other less expensive bottles the shipping charge per bottle goes down.
-
@Jett129 I’ve only tried the Amaras. Their espadin was ok. Mexicano was superb!
I may be cellaring the other two mezcals. I’m starting to think I should stockpile tepeztate (like the Mescalero No 29) until it goes extinct in a couple of decades.
-
@WhiskeySandwich one thing that’s interesting about mezcal is the variable agaves and production methods relative to tequila. Barrel aging can blunt a lot of what makes mezcal interesting and make it harder to get notes of unique terroir, production methods, or agave. I tend to stick with unaged products for that reason.
Then again, I rarely go beyond reposado for tequila as well so maybe I just don’t dig barrel aging maguey in general.
-
@Jett129 thanks man! I’ll have to check them out.
@mclaincausey i tend to prefer anejo but I like to try everything and compare. Honestly, i can’t really rationalize a pattern behind my preferences for anything other than whiskey. I just like what I like. Lol

New scotch in my cabinet. Rating this one high. Woke up with a headache this morning cause I went back for thirds. Highly recommend
the whisky or the headache?

Ingredients for my best Old Fashioned ever. 2 Teaspoons Pappy 23 year bourbon barrel aged maple syrup and the same amount of water. 2 shakes of Angostura and Orange bitters 1.5 ounces of Jefferson’s Ocean Rye and Willett bourbon. Add ice before the hootch. A twist from a Caracara Orange. Stir and sip.
-
@Jett129 Hell yea. I like switching it up between bourbon and rye in an Oldie.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I had been switching them up and one night decided to try both and loved it.
-
@endo - hell yeah!
Try this man -
Had it last time i was in Milan and it was wonderful - topic:timeago-later,7 days
-
I might try using an aerator (meant frother) on the Campari, stirring with ice, and then floating some soda to get the best of both worlds.
-
Lacking an aetator (edit: frother) I did the shake, strained it, enjoyed a sip, and floated some hop water. Not bad! Thanks @prpx
