@Jett129 …they forced me to succumb as well. Quite enjoyable and have had a few now.
Who would have thought that this place would be filled with a bunch of influencers…
First trip across the Atlantic.
First trip tuna fishing.
Countless laughs shared with friends from multiple countries. -
@Jett129 the perfect balance of bittersweet, you should try a boulevardier some time which is quite similar but uses bourbon rather than gin as the base spirit- more Manhattan esque.
-
@SourPower @Jett129 or use mezcal instead of gin. I may have mentioned this at some point already
-
@Tago-Mago love a Negroni Bianco. Had a bartender in Osaka make me a fantastic Paloma/Negroni riff with grapefruit, Lillet, Suze, pechuga, and mezcal!
-
@Jett129 I’m fairly new to Negronis too and I love em, but after trying many variations I definitely prefer the OG with gin. I’ll stick to varying the vermouth and gin. I love mezcal but my tastebuds don’t like that combo.
-
@Tago-Mago What are your ideal percentages 33/33/33 or a variation? I'm finding I like a little less Vermouth and a bit more Gin/Bitters.
-
@Mizmazzle I love Whistle Pig. Is that a special store pick,as the proof is a little bit higher. I had met one of the original owners/founders at Whiskeyfest when it first came out,and it was their hope that it would do for rye what Makers did for bourbon. Had to look this up but I thought there was some connection to Makers,and it was that Dave Pickerell who was the Master Distiller at Makers advised them after he had left Makers.

I like maple rather than simple syrup. Bada bing cherry. With Larceny today.

@scooter nice I just picked up a bottle I was on a list for. Took a long time, so I hope it is a good barrel. Also have a small batch I’ve been saving. Might have to crack em both for a comparison.
