Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

I think @Matt and maybe some others were interested in this. They are currently running their Black Friday special which is only 10% off with the code BF10,and you’ll need to buy 3 to hit the Free Shipping threshold. You’ll thank me profusely after you’ve opened the bottle. Makes a great present. 3 bottles came to $129 shipped.

Last weekend, after a delicious dinner and a 1.5l bottle of excellent Primitivo, a bunch of friends and I created a cocktail. Wasn't sure if it was any good (since we were quite pissed then), redid it tonight and I must say it's not that bad. Try if you like:

• Disaronno 4cl
• Cointreau 4cl
• orange juice 6cl
• lemon juice 2cl
• Angosturabitter 2 dashes
• stirred, on ice with orange zest, a rosemary sprig and 3 crushed black peppercorns

I like to call it Don Cipote
Le Chaim!

Tonight I am having mellow corn old fashioned

[TinMan]

@Denimhead-0 favorite martini, makes me want to listen to blues and or jazz or both!

[TinMan]

Straight rye whiskey is my favorite, then good gin and vodka. I want to try a good malt whiskey.

[Jett129]

@TinMan This might check a few boxes for you.

[TinMan]

@Jett129 BIB is always in my wheel house, thanks Jett!

[TinMan]

@Jett129 kind of reminds me of my favorite working class straight rye whiskey

Love non chill filtered!

[Jett129]

@TinMan I’ve never seen that in the NY/NJ area.Bet it’s great.

[Jett129]

@TinMan I’ve never seen a Malted Rye before and thought that might interest you as well.

[TinMan]

@Jett129 you want a bottle I will send you one. PM your address I will hook you up. Very unique, I love the finish. I don’t want to say earthy, more nut like almond maybe pecan. I have never been good at verbalizing flavor. Let me know.

[TinMan]

@Jett129 it does for sure!!

[Jett129]

@TinMan That's super generous of you,but I currently have an overabundance of bourbon and rye. It's like having too many pairs of jeans to fade. I'm going to ask some of my local retailers if it's available as a special order. Thanks again.

@Jett129 here in Kansas it’s about 27.00 I am going to send you one more pic. Old grandad BIB, high rye mash bourbon I can usually get for around 22.00

@Jett129

[Jett129]

@TinMan Really cool,I’ve definitely never seen that one before.

[TinMan]

@Jett129 bottle shape reminds me of something that would have been in an Old west saloon.

The classics are classic for a reason. @Jett129 thats an obtainable botttle and truly a marvel at its price point unless things have changed.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey Unfortunately the liquor stores that I frequent and have access to all carry the same mundane brands. When I travel I like to pop into local liquor stores in hopes of finding something like that on the shelves. Not sure if it’s a function of what’s available in my locale,or just not what’s the most profitable for them ,or a combination of both.
