Will probably cross post this in Jokes. This probably won’t make sense if you don’t know the cartoon characters,but here goes.
Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd break into a distillery. Daffy turns to Elmer and says…Is this Whiskey? Elmer says…Yeth,but not as Whiskey as Wobbing a bank! -
VIP tour of Leopold Bros distillery, one of the great American distilleries right now. It was associated with the launch of this vermouth that is a collab with Mathiasson vintners of Napa, based on their Cabernet and fused with distillates of wormwood, rose, white pepper, Colorado peaches, and some ginger. They do things like distilling each ingredient individually at the optimal temperature to extract the items flavors. The bottles have RFID tags in the seals so you can pull info about each spirit including whether you’ve opened your bottle. Really an amazing place, produces, and tour.

Super cool @mclaincausey !
A good friend who works in the industry turned us on to them what seems like almost 20 years ago now (feeling old). Haven't had it in a while but recall their gin being really excellent. -
Very cool intro to the Leopold brewery @mclaincausey . Got me curious on whether the Leopold brewery folks are related to Aldo Leopold. A leading conservationist force during the early 1900s in the US who wrote “Sand County Almanac”. A fantastic read for anyone interested in nature.

@mclaincausey Nice. I have one of those Absinthe servers, third photo. I picked it up in Chicago years back. I'll post a photo tomorrow.

Thanks folks. Recommend checking them out! The vermouth is really something.

@mclaincausey so sick! What did they have aging in those glass demijohns?
-
@SourPower pear eau de vie!

What's your gin of choice @Matt ?

As promised

@ROman very nice. I’ve not seen that style of glass. I have the spoon and glass but no fountain. I don’t drink absinthe straight that often, and when I do I dilute/louche but skip the sugar:
Y’all can guess why I keep absinthe around:

Hi guys! Somehow in this thread everyone avoids vodka. Meanwhile, the drink deserves attention. I always take 250 milliliters for the evening. Otherwise, if I take 500, then anyway, it will all be drunk) It's always like that with vodka. We drink while we have it))

With the peychauds probably saz's
Have you tried de la louisannes? It's my favorite of all the new Orleans cocktails
Bingo! That one is my favorite cocktail when it’s done exactly the way I like. Unfortunately it usually isn’t unless I’m doing it and it’s such a simple drink that it is easy to ruin.
I don’t have any Benedictine currently but do love that one and the Vieux carre so I probably should restock.
