That’s always a sad moment. I love Blade and Bow, it’s a great bottle to have in the bar. That’ll probably be my next purchase, thanks for the reminder.

I don't know - whenever I buy a new to me bottle, it is always the first one up for tasting next time I'm having a drink...and then I determine its place in the pecking order.

I still have my old standby's, usually a bottle of Ardbeg 10 and a bottle of something Macallan.

It was fine just tastes like Jameson but like I said been long time since had that one

Achieved substantial completion on a 2 year project...a power electronic substation feeding a nuke plant. Cheers folks!

Worth celebrating. Kudos.

Congrats, but this just seems kinda strange to the uninitiated. It's like having a running faucet on a dam

Clase Azul is the tastiest and smoothest Tequila I have ever tasted! And I've sampled many! Not nearly my favorite spirit, but I find myself craving this sipper and heading to my bar for a pour.

I'm biased because I went to the plant and they treated us so well, but I still prefer Tres Generaciones Anejo (sorry, ponle accento yourself)

My favorite version is a diabetic cadillac: 2-3 oz of Anejo and a squirt of Gran Marnier. Can't seem to find the right salt combo for mixing at home, so usually just like that, neat in the glass.

For your damn(dam) perspective, consider me the opening to the dam...and I don't want to let you know what happens if I fucked this up.

And that dear...is why I drink.

I have a few bottles on the bar for others...but never really acquired a taste for it. What would be the easiest gin drink to try for a non gin drinker?

Those Luxardo cherries are the devil. I will literally walk past my bar cart and start eating them.
