One of my good friends who is extremely passionate about beverage recently started a fragrance line called Westlands “drawing inspiration from the world of hand-crafted small batch spirits”.
He is a one man operation making the best scents I have ever experienced, with a heavy influence on rum.
Had to pick up the Rum Fragrance Flight inspired by some of my favorite terroirs and distilleries. Highly recommend this stuff!

The brain trusts at the NHL and the NBA have once again scheduled Colorado playoff games at the same time. This is the third time in these 7 game series, and on game 7. I may not be able to see the games very well either as I will be recovering from LASIK on Saturday. Why not start the imperfect weekend early then with a perfect martini hoping for a perfect game 7 record for my basketball and hockey bros?

perfect drinks are so underrated
Knowing your affinity for agave spirits, have you tried a rosita @mclaincausey ?
-
@pechelman I’ve not but I will try.
I came into a bunch of spirits recently I’d not normally buy including crème de pamplemousse that I’d love to riff on some agave cocktails with.
This one was the crown jewel of this cache:
-
@Tago-Mago this is the way
-
@pechelman this is the only alternative I’ve tried. Good enough to repeat buy, but I still go back to Campari most of the time.
-
Blind tasting consensus was that these two had a lot of surprising differences and the 8yr was the clear winner.
Finished off with a bottle kill of some 1982 decanter juice.

@pechelman the Forthave RED is quite good. But I don’t think you can beat the OG.

Man I used to drink 101 a bit too much. That brings back some memories. And some gaps where memories should be.

Yup - I can relate

Just recently got this back from a friend I had loaned it to, and thought maybe someone on this thread might like to read it. For the most part it’s really good,at times the author relates what was going on in his own life during the time when he was writing the book,and I found that less interesting and couldn’t wait until Julian Van Winkle came back and was talking about bourbon. I thought that I knew the Pappy backstory,but found out that I knew very little of it. Anyway if you’re interested I’d be happy to send it along and maybe it can go around like the Charlie Watts book.
