anyone have any access to some Pappy Van Winkle. I missed it again in October

[RP]

Jeff-The 2012 Pappy allotments were only sent out recently (I don't think it was shipped in October).  I just received an email from my buddy in Chicago last night with "Your Christmas Present" as the title and this attachment:

I must have been been good for goodness sake…

Just need to acquire the brandy, I have Havana Club Sept Anios and Bombay Saphire, so it's on. Does it have a name?

Found out yesterday that Pappy is being released 1st week in January. I'm on the list fingers crossed.

My current tipple:

Last night ended on a nice and civilised note, sharing this one with a mate while listening to Neil Young's Live Rust. Ahh…

If this is a duplicative thread, please delete and merge.

I like mixed beverages. This is something of a hobby/addiction.

Prepping for the evening with the Cocktail à La Louisianne on D666's cherished coaster gift. This is an old New Orleans classic. Very anise-forward, between the Peychaud's and absinthe. I use two brandy soaked cherries in lieu of the maraschino cherries.

Old Fashioned. Four Roses Single barrel, luxardo maraschino cherry, orange, sugar, bitters, ice, and an orange twist.

[urbanwoodsman]

Damn I need some oranges.

[urbanwoodsman]

All I have is mango and pineapple.

Meh, what the hell.

[tigerpac]

Just got into San Diego for vacation, so Margarita time!  (when in Rome…)

[seawolf]

Shane, if you're interested, I can give you my Old Fashioned "recipe" which is more of a procedure, but it's the best damn drink I know how to make.

[mclaincausey]

Mine is whiskey, simple, bitters, stir, twist, and toss the fruit, built in the glass.  Either a decent whiskey or a love of whiskey, or both, are required

I actually prefer the Sazerac expression of the OF, and the very best way of experiencing that IMO is:

@mclaincausey:

Being a drunk.

A sazerac with Thomas Handy rye, Peychaud's, simple, and St. George absinthe rinse, the excess served in a sidecar. Lemon expressed over the beverage.

This is as good as it gets.
