      Not exactly, there would be dry instead of sweet vermouth in a contessa I think?

      Think it, be it.

        Not sure if this is a light variant or not since nonino is less bitter but higher abv. Regardless, anything with nonino is a favorite.

                  @mclaincausey I’m sure that put a big smile on your face. Looks like they have some of the top names there.Got to be really expensive. Good luck.

                      @Jett129 with the roughly 1:1 $:€ exchange rate, prices are surprisingly reasonable unless I’m missing taxes. I think I’d be exempt from European VAT.

                      @Tago-Mago
                      Got my eye on:

                      Lalocura San Martinero

                      Real Minero Largo

                      Mezcalosfera Espadin/Jabali

                      Heartily recommend the Still Strength Fortaleza blanco, Cascahuin Tahona, Tequila Terralto or G4 (same producer), and for the craziest spirit you’ve ever had, blue cheese bomb La Venenosa Sierra del Tigre

                      Think it, be it.

                        @mclaincausey Thanks for the recommendations. Any particular ideas for mezcal? €100+ is slightly higher than I would like to spend. Haven't sipped mezcal, we mainly use it in cocktails

                          @Tago-Mago If you can find it,I would recommend the Vago Elote(Which means corn),as it’s triple distilled and they use corn In the second distillation,which gives it a nice flavor note,and maybe some sweetness. Usually under $50 in the US.

                              @Tago-Mago yep and agree with @Jett129

                              Also this one is nice. Uses an autoclave or brick oven to cook the pinas in this region, so less smoke. Really tastes like a jalapeño to me

                              https://www.mezcaleria.de/de/shop/mezcal-derrumbes-san-luis-potosí

                              They have a bunch of great brands and some smaller formats there too. Alipus is reliable and often less expensive. Same for Bozal, the tobasiche is good.

                              Think it, be it.

                                Thanks both, great stuff. Mezcal is not as common here as whisky, gin or rum, so harder to come by

                                  @Tago-Mago Absolutely,In my opinion one of the single best Mezcal values out there. Not too bad on the price,relative to what it costs in the states.

                                        @Tago-Mago I am fan of the PC series from Bruichladdich. Tempted to pick up a bottle of the recent 18yo PC release.

                                        My favourite PC release so far has been the Sauternes cask finish SC-01.

                                        There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.
