@mclaincausey Ordered this one on sale today. Will pick it up next week and report back.

Thanks to a late holliday gift from one of our vendors I now have an emergency stash of EH Taylor in my desk drawer at the office

@scooter and anyone else in the trades would likely recognize the name

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 hope you like it. I have my first El Mero Mero sitting unopened on my shelf, their tobala. Really excited to try that one.

@tenuin got my hands on something special from DDL and it did not disappoint!

“Distilled from molasses at Uitvlugt Estate on the Port Mourant wooden double retort still (built in 1732), aged 2 years in ex-bourbon casks in Guyana and 22 years in ex-port casks in Europe. Bottled at 60.2% abv, unfiltered, no added color or sugar. Congeners measuring 546.9 g/HLAP.”

@endo I guess I’ll have to dedicate my Negroni to you (went down too fast to take a photo)!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC obviously you have a to have a second one, because pics or it didn't happen

[endo]

@ARNC you are a terrible person

[Tago Mago]

@endo I would go with transiently irritating until February

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago so as long as I don’t post pics I can keep going indefinitely?

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC I don't mind, post away

[ARNC]

@endo maybe, but I can think of worse people. All will be good when you implement your new liver exercise regime in February.

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago it definitely happened but I have less vermouth than I thought I did, so it might not for much longer!

how could you let this happen?

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago we all screw up occasionally

[SourPower]

@ARNC how is that Sakura Roku?

[ARNC]

@SourPower I like it. It was a present but I’d consider buying it for myself. The cherry is more obvious with tonic (and stronger than I expected). In a Negroni it comes through less clearly but adds depth.

Dang that looks like a mighty fine bottle LM&V are probably the finest independent bottler of rums right now. Nice age on it too. Congeners measuring 546.9 g/HLAP.” Now you're speaking my language! Truth is I dont drink much these days, but my home bar is still well supplied with some exotic high ester rums from around the world. If you get the chance see if you can find some Hampden or Long Pond from Jamaica.
What little I can see of the menu looks very promising. What is that place?

[SourPower]

@tenuin big fan of Hampden and Long Pond. Exceptional stuff! Did you know that Hampden sells their highest ester rums to be used for rum flavoring in the commercial food industry?

This bar is a favorite of the Wife and I, Jungle in Boulder, CO. Fantastic original and classic tiki cocktails, rums, and food.
