Good weekend

GT test positive. VERY citrusy but I love it. Perfect for summer.

I've heard this gin in particular makes a fantastic dirty martini with it's blend of herbs. Not a martini guy at all, but been wanting to try this gin otherwise. Now even more!

[ARNC]

The herbs in the regular version (not Capri) are one of the things that make it stand out for me. For G&T I think it works well with a rosemary garnish, and I expect that would also work with the Capri.

Which reminds me I need to buy some sage - recommended serve for a new gin I was given. Maybe more news later!

[ARNC]

Mission accomplished!

[mclaincausey]

Gonna be a good night

@mclaincausey Not sure if you’ve had Wild Common before,either way I look forward to your report.

I sent this to G and I’ll say the same to everyone:

Cheers to all of the good guys who are no longer with us, but want to add, and to all of the friends and family we love ️

Thanks for being here and sharing

Cheers @goosehd and thanks for being such a good host, or grey-rock, sometimes

Picked this up for Easter dinner/BBQ with friends

[Jett129]

@GraemeE I’ve never seen that one. I liked a 10 year old that I tried,and I’ve heard good things about some of their other offerings.

[GraemeE]

@Jett129 I've never seen it in my area.
Oregon liquor availability can be little unpredictable due to the way the state runs the operation and sets the prices

There was actually a culling of government employees in the last few years due to a controversy involving playing favorites with allocated bottles

[Jett129]

@GraemeE That’s pretty much the drill in my area. The allocated bottles rarely,if ever,go on the shelf or get listed on the website, but instead,get funneled to friends and top customers.

@GraemeE I also picked up the Calumet Farms this past weekend. I’m a proof whore, so went with the Bull Lea edition. Never had this one before - it’s ok but not good enough to pick this particular edition up again imo.

Here is some whiskey I picked up on a road trip last summer. I figured I would enjoy some for the holiday.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 first time and won’t be the last. Excellent juice. Now I want to try the still strength.

The G4 108 was as superb as you’d expect as well.

They had a bunch of good juice there. It was hard not to put a larger dent in my wallet.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey Didn’t realize that the G4 was the still strength. That really puts the agave flavor front and center. As far as the Wild Common goes,I’ll have to live vicariously through you. Heard that Volans has a still strength that’s supposed to be quite good as well.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 I meant to grab the still strength of the Wild Common but the regular plata is magnificent
