I want some Seasmoke.

Yes! We have it here! I haven't seen the other post, but I'll find it and reply there.

I found another liquor store here that is independent and has a few interesting things that our Spec's doesn't have. It's worth checking out for sure.

Really long, sad, story short but I'll likely only get one more "non staple" booze order in this year. I'm putting a wish list together and checking it twice

Let me know about that place... I'll check it out if I have the time while I am there.

Decided to crack open the Bols.

Martinez (from this site).

2 oz Cocchi Torino sweet vermouth

1 oz Bols Genever gin

1 tsp Maraschino liqueur

1 dash Boker's bitters

lemon peel

The problem with this drink was that the sweet vermouth overpowered all the other ingredients. Otherwise it was fine.

Flip the proportions of genever and vermouth and you have a drink. That sounds sickly sweet.

I was suspicious (since the usual Martinez has the amounts essentially switched as you mentioned). Since I had never had the Genever gin, I went with the recipe on that site. That was dumb.

I want some Seasmoke.

Any time you or Reksy are in my 'hood give me a ringy. I have a Seasmoke chilling for any Caser road crew tour stops.

I'll make sure to wear my snake suit so I can fit in.

wow

Bad idea Shelly. Augsburger the Snake Slayer will lop off your head before you even get a glass of Seasmoke!

I happen to be driving your way next week. I'll drop by for the Seasmoke.

Negroni @ Americky, yum.

Marketing's marketing, but sticking all that shit on your bottle has to denote some sort of inferiority complex, surely?

Fernet Branca.

Kleine means little, so maybe Zalze mean cock?

Fernet Branca.

Willingly?

Indeed.

Barrel Aged Series

Stillwater Existent

Cool. Does it taste much different from the original Existent?

I don't have the original to compare, but I don't think it's hugely different.

I'm drinking a Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout now.

Manhattan. Cheers Paris Claire, and I will go up and hug my Dual before bed since it has heard of the damage to its brother and I want to comfort it.

Indeed.

I like the stuff too. Try a Hanky Panky

Don Julio anejo and Partida anejo. Yep, I like the Partida more than the Don Julio. I have also decided that I like good tequila.

Mikey: You must have had too much wine, that steak is awfully blurry.

Nice reporting, Shelly. I really like Don Julio and also prefer it to the Herradura, which is very good in itself. I haven't tried any of the tequilas that you prefer to the Don Julio. My favorite tequila is Cuervo Reserva de la Familia. It's even smoother than DJ so you may not like it as much as I do. IMO, it was a great deal when Costco carried it for $73 but it's too expensive at regular selling price.
