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

@Jett129 which one? They had 4 at the store I went to but they were in the $150 range which was $20 over my budget.

When I land a job soon I may see if they have any left to celebrate

This is the one I really want. A shitty liquor store with zero selection of decent juice listed it online for $64. I knew it was too good to be true. Extremely primitive production from a northern Oaxacan village with its own culture and language. Should be a funky good time.

@mclaincausey I was asking about the Destilado con Cacao at $94. I would wait until they did one of their Agave spirits sales,usually 15% off which would bring the price down to about $80.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 I haven’t opened it yet but that seems like a screamin deal. I was fine with $86.

This place is my favorite agave shop since Golden Liquors closed down, but on the other side of town. Golden Liquors has since reopened, but under new ownership. The prior owner only cared about agave and visited the producers frequently. Huge loss.

There is one comparable place I’ve found and I may trek over there soon.

@mclaincausey Thanks,When they do those sales I try and get something unique that I might not ordinarily get to experience,like that bottle of Cazcanes. They have a bunch of single barrel bottles,from this distillery,and they all sound pretty extraordinary with price tags to match.

Tonight a lovely bottle courtesy of @SourPower very delicate and sweet, goes down dangerously easily. Great producer. I’ve had a few of their expressions and none have missed. Thanks my man! ¡Dixeebe!

@mclaincausey is that a black bear in your yard, or is it just the mezcal making me see things?

[mclaincausey]

@Bridger hehe that is my buddy Otis!

Also, this combo knocked my socks off.

[Bridger]

Otis looks like a dude, very cool @mclaincausey

I need to do a little DIY work on the apartment, so I'm listening to Jimmy Cliff and sipping this. Very nice!

Back to back to back...

[Jett129]

@scooter I’ve never tried any of those,but have heard nothing but great things about all of them. Especially the 12 yr. For my personal tastes,the sweet spot for bourbon, tends to be 7-10 years old. After that they can be a bit too oakie/oaky for my taste. Having said that, The Elijah Craig 18 is one of my all time favorites. I felt that the Knob Creek 14 was a bit too oaky for me. How would you rate these on their oakiness level?

[Jett129]

Figured this would resonate much more on this thread,than the comedy thread.

My buddy got me some of the Luxardo cherries and I had to try them right away lol
Holy shit what a difference. I never thought I could justify the price but now idk if I can go back.

[pechelman]

The only thing really better is homemade.

@WhiskeySandwich remember when Sazerac was nearly impossible to find?

[ARNC]

@WhiskeySandwich definitely better than generic cocktail cherries. These are also good, but not cheap.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT yeah I’m really glad at least one of the BT faves became readily available again. I think the whiskey boom has slowed a bit. It did its damage on prices tho
