@harleylawhorn Muddled the fresh neighborhood blackberries with lemon and added to a bit of maple syrup and rye.

@Denimhead-0 Happy to hear this. I just happened to pick this up on a pretty decent sale last weekend. Haven't cracked it open yet, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

@Tago-Mago Do tell about this one

[Jett129]

@mikebarhoot Very cool,I did something similar at Makers Mark. I'm definitely curious about their bourbon,but have never tried it.

@Denimhead-0 didn’t open the Foursquare yesterday. Will let you know when I have tried it

[mikebarhoot]

@Jett129 i really like their bourbons and hanging out at their ranch since i dont have one any longer… but…. IMHO their price points are way too high. example, the ‘Cowboy’ bourbon we bottled this week sells for $250 ea. thats above my pay grade for bourbon. i mean, thats .5 pr of XHSIB

@tody what’s in the cup?

[tody]

@Tago-Mago Mezcalita. Not the first, won‘t be the last.

@Denimhead-0 tried it today, May have to give it another round with at least one of the Exceptional Cask Series I own. Cask strength definitely coming through more prominently here than in the other Foursquare I've tried, but not overpowering. Really spicy pepper on the tongue, rich, creamy, not overly dry. Long finish, that helps take the edge off the high ABV a little, if that makes sense? Just another really good bottle from Foursquare.

Edit: major bonus points for no added sugar or colour, as far as I am aware. True 15 years as well

maybe this has been discussed before, but: Anybody have experience with a consistent, easy way to make big clear ice cubes?
