More details on the family who makes the above and other San Luis Potosi agave distillates. Just love this style.

Final NYC acquisition, from Astor Wines & Spirits. I’m glad I don’t have a place like this near me.
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey I’m guessing you had that shipped? It’s a really cool store. I go there for tastings from time to time. The single most eclectic selection of spirits I’ve ever seen. I get an email from them every single day,telling me what’s on sale. I have an account with them and I also get emails… Based on your purchase history we think you might like this special single barrel Reposado or Eagle Rare,and if you pre order, we’ll give you 20% off.

@Jett129 I wish I’d put it on your account for the points. No sir I’m in NYC, went to the store!

@mclaincausey @Jett129 any insights on sotol? Never heard of it before, bought my brother a bottle to try for Christmas

@mclaincausey Princeton is great. Haven’t been in a while. Won’t be going near Astor today. Have fun!

@Jett129 Central Park south, though headed to Princeton for the day. If you make it to Astor could you post a picture of the mezcal select cabinet? I was in too big a hurry.
If you have time, check out Triumph Brewing

Conte’s pizza is good as well
Portnoy almost gave a 9

Yep thanks I know Triumph. I know Princeton extremely well in fact, sister has lived here many years!

@mclaincausey Are you taking mass transit to Princeton? I’m on my way to Penn Station.
-
@Jett129 yes! We did the 1 to Penn to Princeton junction.

I still think Argonaut is pretty decent, and there are a handful of smaller specialty places in town, but yeah, Astor is another level. Even ordering from them online is great and they do crazy discounts pretty frequently. It often turns out that it's still more affordable to buy from them than pay the crazy bottle tax in WA.
-
@mclaincausey I came through Penn at about 11:30,and then again at 1:30. We may have been there at close to the same time.

A Christmas gift from an Irish American lady friend. She tells me Drumshanbo is the ancestral home of her family.

Just a couple of the areas I’m setting up for our guests that will be arriving soon. They’re all in the restaurant business so I got a feeling a lot of this will be gone before the night is over…

@northsouthdenimguy I hear you‘re inviting forum members, preferably IHUK crew and forum mods, to your house, including paying for their travel. I’ll send you my availability forthwith
-
I’m sending the private jet now…
Edit: the funny thing is I really don’t drink at home anymore but I like when people come over, just to open up the liquor cabinet drink what you like and enjoy it. Let’s have a good time.
