Jim: Those new bitters bottle are just too cute.

Do you think I got a Chinese knock-off?

Is there a recipe for "Happy Family" on there?

Jim: Those new bitters bottle are just too cute.

This is definitely the first time I have been complimented on my bitter bottles.

Cheaper by the pallet I always say... oh and it looks like a little Macallan, Highland Park, Glenmorangie?, Lagavulin, and something in between that and what looks like an Ardbeg. Oh and the Pappy

Very Nice Sir.

Good eyes.

Right place at the right time

Perfect Manhattan

3oz Highwest Double Rye (gotta kill it off somehow)

0.75oz Dolin Dry

0.75oz Dolin Rouge

2 Dashes Angostura Bitters

1 Dash Fee Bros Cherry Bitters

Good eyes.

Right place at the right time

Right after the crate fell of the truck?

Sweet shot, Naaman. Is it teh awsum whiskey?

Life and Limb Batch 2. Good but not as I expected. I only tried it once last year but I remember it to be a little sour and this one isn't....am I mistaken?

Life & Limb was not sour. It is very malty and somewhat sweet.

It is malty, roasty and bittersweet indeed. Funny thing is, I had a small amount in your place and I thought I remembered being surprised at how it was a little sour, dark and malty all at the same time. Obviously, I must be thinking of something else that was not Life and Limb.

Or you were just wasted at the time...

That's really what I meant

Moving on to a Ballast Point Big Eye IPA

Tuesday night Local Brew:

RR Redemption

More port (same as before) but this time with "pot brownie." I am starting to really like this port. I love the walnut like flavor.

Rittenhouse 25 Sazerac

tasty.

I bet!

For me, a rather indulgent Julep:

And for Claire a Beton, which was a cocktail we drank in Prague. Becherovka (1.5oz), lemon juice (.5oz), and tonic (4-5oz) over ice. Tasty stuff.

1 1/2 oz Brandy

1/2 oz Ruby Port

1/2 oz Cream

1 dash Dark Creme de Cacao

No cream in the house.

Al: That julep looks nice!

That's a julep with a kick! I actually have some really nice mint growing that originally came from my mom's house in Oregon. Now if a julep only took rye....

I am sure a mint julep with rye wouldn't suck.

i wouldn't mind a good julep. instead, i'm drinking the crappiest beer Cincinnati produces, but that's what i get for spending 2 months income on an engagement ring.

I hope there is at least a diamond in it. Congrats either way, well if she says yes. Unless she already did. Then congrats.

Great Divide Smoked Baltic Porter. Meh.

I think I nailed this one. The Kuchan strikes again, it's very highly recommended Al, if you are ever at K&L..

This one is:

9/4 oz Smith and Cross

3/4 oz lime juice

3/4 oz Kuchan O'Henry Peach Brandy

3/4 oz Shrubb

One more bottle down!
