              Picked this up for a dear friend’s upcoming birthday, which he shares with my daughter. He and his wife are backup godparents to my sister—they are family. I’ve recently gotten him into mezcal, as he loves scotch and cocktails and I knew he’d dig mezcal. So I grabbed him this bottle and it was all I could do not to grab one myself. This cactus tends to foam a lot during fermentation and can even explode, damaging fermentation equipment. So it’s not used all too often.

              I believe they are coming in town to jointly celebrate his birthday and my daughter’s first birthday, so I will get a taste then. If I don’t go back and buy another bottle for myself first 😂

              Think it, be it.

                Good to see a quality Scotch Malt whisky drinker here. Enjoying a dram of Glen Scotia Victoriana right now, myself.

                  This was the most unique Tequila I’ve had. Spicy 🌶 on the front end then sweet on the finish. Visiting friends. I’m not usually a tequila guy.

                            Thanks.  I can even pretend these are good for me, although I doubt I need an iron supplement or quinine during UK winter.

                                    Haven't tried it yet, but im thinking it must be interesting.
                                    Had Vodka infused with cucumber and it was pretty good.

                                      Hendricks is great. Great for a martini, absolutely made for a Pimm’s Cup if you like them with gin.

                                      Recent haul:

                                      I mentioned to fifths already. The La Venenosa I previously had a 200mL and loved so much I picked up a fifth. The Jabali I mentioned having acquired for a friend. But I found a 200 mL of that so I’ll keep the fifth.

                                      I very much look forward to trying the 200mL bottles. These include a Sotol, which has a similar process to mezcal but is from a different region (originating in Chihuahua) and different plants (sotol plant or desert spoon). Going to a bar for tastings or finding smaller bottles is great, you can look before you leap into an investment that might not pay off.

                                      Here is the mezcal/raicilla/sotol/part of the tequila section from this small local liquor store. Pretty impressive.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        Like a library of bottles  😉
                                        Really good selection there

                                          @dinobarnesberlin  Hendricks is good but I think of it as a summer gin. As @mclaincausey says good in martinis  (or with tonic) but care is needed if you have other preferences. For me, the cucumber feels really wrong in a negroni, for example.

                                          If either of you ever make it to London, any of the Whisky Exchange shops have that bottle library feel in spades and the Great Portland Street branch is just round the corner from Rivet & Hide  🙂

                                            @mclaincausey I could get into a lot of trouble in that store. Looks like they have one of my all time favorite tequilas that I cannot currently get. That’s the Cascahuin Plata. My liquor, www.astorwines.com , store has a pretty good selection of Rey Campero,but they only have the 750MM sizes,and they’re pretty expensive. They do have a blanket 15% off sale a few times a year,which is when I stock up. If you have a minute maybe you could go to their website,click on Spirits,click on pick a Producer, click on Rey Campero and it will bring you to everything they have. If you could recommend something I’d greatly appreciate it as it was you who recommended Alipus,which I love, a few years ago. Looking forward to your reviews. Thanks!
