Liquor Acquisitions 2023, 2024

[lherzolite]

Lastly, for you Rum lovers, I highly recommend Dos Maderas 5+5 Triple Aged Rum. I paid $39 for the bottle which in Connecticut is the same price point as Diplomatico Reserva, one of my favorite rums. I think the Dos Maderos is going to replace it as my "go-to" sipping rum.

Not denigrating either of those (drink what you like), but they are more like liqueurs. They have an insane amount of sugar added to them (35-40 grams of sugar per liter - a teaspoon of sugar is around 4.2 grams).

Rum is weird. Depending on its origin, there can be no rules or strict rules, but as with any distillate when it comes off the still there is no sugar in it.

I've always passed on Pinhook. I know Wyatt appreciates it. Report back

That one is probably the best Pinhook I've had and I don't much care for their others, enjoy and let us know!

Honestly not sure, when I go in I’ll check it out. Not much of a bookers guy but I found it in the wild so snagged it

You could sell your house and buy half my block... Then I would have to share with you.

That is not a terrible idea…

Pickups over the last few weeks. Opened the Peerless and really liking it.

Picked up a bottle of this with my regular order of WR Double Oaked. It's for Old Fashioneds---I've been using MM 101 & Cask Strength, as well as Wild Turkey Rare Breed, because I've found that 100+ proof is pretty much mandatory for them. At least for me.

Can't wait to see what 120 proof is like in one.

I would love to have your recipe.

Got this tonight.

I'm glad my wife likes this because I hate it. Every sip is just like taking a bite of an apple. It's not a typical Bookers flavor profile unless you really like Apprentice Batch, then you might like it.

 

[Not A Nice Person]

I would love to have your recipe.

2 oz. 100+ proof bourbon
1 tablespoon demerara syrup (I use Jack Rudy's)
3 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes orange bitters
1 Bourbon Bada Bing cherry
1 strip orange peel

Muddle the syrup & bitters, add the cherry, orange peel & one large (2") cocktail ice cube made with spring water.

Pour jigger of bourbon over top. Most recipes call for stirring with ice but I like mine straight. That's one behind a San Cristobal there:

Hanging out with a couple buddies at our cigar lounge and I mentioned that I've never bought a Weller. He hands me this bottle and says, "now you have one." I guess I still haven't bought one. Next week I'll tell him I've never bought a Pappy 15. LOL!

Not a recent purchase, but something I picked up in London some years ago. Couldn’t afford it then, wouldn’t spend that much now. Bought something special for my some-day wedding celebration. Since I recently eloped, I broke it out to share with family at thanksgiving.
