I fear we may have more in common than either of us care to admit! Heck we might even toss a four speed in your rig!

This afternoon
Yummy stuff. Many years ago I tried it on a vacation up the Pacific Coast Highway.I don't buy it often, not a real common find in the beer coolers around here.
On a recent trip to the beach bach, we stopped in a local pub for dinner one night. Had a look at the drinks on offer behind the bar.....I had a Jameson's Irish whisky, and the other two had a Gin from Spain. The bottle was the draw card....shaped like a light bulb. Since then I have scoured the net trying to find that bottle, even the distillery in Spain don't have them.....until last week.
This turned up from the UK via fleabay.....empty of course. The Gin is nothing to write home about....it's more about the bottle.
Since late 2020, I have been voted in as purchasing officer for a small group - we buy exotics from a liquor supply outlet or two.....and we share the spoils. More pics to come from the latest batches of arrivals.

One refreshing Rum drink has become 2.... etc etc
Something I don't have in my collection. You would think that with 229 bottles there would be one bottle of rum!
You should!
There's a lot of junk out there but there's some good ones.
Ron Zacapa has some very nice ones
Cheers! Just passing through.
I needed a photo from my phone to post on Bookface. Trying to edumacate someone there about aging, angels share, and maturation.

- Aging - stops once it leaves the barrel
- Angels share - typically only happens at barrel storage stage - unless you have a loose cork, or sneaky teenagers
- Maturation - Happens in the barrel......nothing changes once bottled, except the quantity from drinking the contents. Maturation is determined in the barrel by type of wood, type of spirit and the decreed minimum age requirements....and of course from the distillery Master Blender.
A 95/5 rye and not from MGP. Simply delicious!
Awe.....you gotta be f**king kidding me.......I wonder if should get one of these to guzzle on........

Ah no!Don't you want some Ron de Jeremy swirling around the back of your throat Mike????
Toolman, I think you are still too young to be edumacating someone on maturation!
Sure wish these were bigger. Lol
Gonna knock em back this Friday happy hour.

Cheers! Have a sip for me. I came down with the "flu" and liquor tastes like turpentine!
Nothing wrong with turpentine. Lol
Get well soon.
The horror
Gonna share it with my neighbor so he can trump me with his Oban.
Agreed, I had the WuFlu a month ago, and it took more than 3 weeks before my Rum tasted good again.
Stay well Mike.
