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

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

@Tago-Mago

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.

@northsouthdenimguy there is nothing more satisfying than sharing a laugh, a smile, a tear, a drink, or a meal with friends.

Enjoy ️

I basically lived in the Triumph Brewery for a few years - Late 90's, early noughties

@northsouthdenimguy so that is what the cabinet was for.

@tody

Mostly my wife couldn’t stand the antique Chinese piece that I’ve had for close to 30 yrs. So now the liquor is split up in two locations. But honestly, this piece works way better in the space

Possibly the best cup of tea I’ve ever had!

Ok, technically it’s a glass, but it is tea.

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC no splash of milk?

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago I think lemon’s more appropriate in this case!

I know some of you like Grey Goose (and I do), but have you tried Belvedere Vodka? I think it's even smoother and still 40% vol.

@endo Love them both. Belvedere is a little pricier in my parts.

Not really into unflavored gin at all, but one holiday party long ago a Russian guest brought in the only vodka she drank, so I was intrigued to try it. Was surprised how good it was, especially with the right food. I still don't have any vodka in my bar but if I did it would be that bottle of beluga.

[ARNC]

@endo you think? Maybe you should have another, just to be sure.

[Tago Mago]

N=3 is the absolute minimum. Anything less won’t stand up to statistical scrutiny. I’d go for n=5 to be on the safe side

[ARNC]

Any thoughts on Kornog? I’m contemplating getting one of these in the sales as the tasting notes sound interesting (sweet smoke, ripe cherries, chocolate, apple crumble, stewed fruit and a delicate sherry influence).

[endo]

sounds delicious @ARNC
