@culturednyc @noplasticshower @Meat_Bucket @SazeracLA @libationlegacy Damn, this thread is cranking, especially considering it started out as another movie quiz. 😆

I keep a bottle of Gentleman Jack around, & it's open IIRC, but sometimes I forget I have it. I've also not tried Jack Daniel's Rye in any form.

@noplasticshower @SazeracLA @libationlegacy The only thing I've "made" is nocino from unripe black walnuts. I of course bought spirits off the shelf to make the infusions. I tried a pecan one with rum & mature pecans too. I'm slow about drinking them. They also need 18-24 months to sit around before they taste good, IMO.

Gods damn it: I really hope I don't have to figure out NC ABC special orders all over again. The county changed their site recently, & now you can't look up what stores have what. Now the state has messed with theirs, & I can't even find what spreadsheets I'd want to look at, much less find specific items. I can probably figure it out eventually, but argh. 🤬

@SazeracLA @noplasticshower Nah, just need to fix/replace the other tool. I'm so glad I found out, and it's always pulled really nice peels. I wash it by hand because I don't want to eff up the edge. Also, I swear it was clean before I picked it up for that picture. ;)

The company now has a 7 year, but no, not at this price. prohibition-spirits-741982.squ

@noplasticshower @SazeracLA

So it's currently a 4 year bourbon with additional wine cask aging. It used to be the same, but with 6 year product. They claimed they signed an NDA with the producer & can't say where the product came from. I believe all that & the age statements. But it pisses me off the product changed so radically with so little notice to the consumer. The whiskey sucks now, & that's not just my opinion.

@noplasticshower @SazeracLA That's complicated, as they say. The short answer is it's Hooker's House. The longer answer is they don't "make" bourbon, & changed the source (& years of aging) on a product without changing the UPC. They barely changed the label too, on the back. I think I retold some of this to @SazeracLA somewhere, but maybe I can find a source without typing it all out again. Tl;dr summary: I used to like it, but it sucks now, & is too expensive. :(

Last night's cocktail was a Debonair, a Gaz Regan creation that's slightly controversial for its use of single malt, & specific ones at that: kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/
It's 2 1/2 scotch & 1 Domaine de Canton, up, with a lemon twist. I get a caramel note out of it that I don't get from the scotch or liqueur, so that's interesting. Might be a bit sweet for some of you, but I quite liked it. More info & another cocktail: sfgate.com/wine/article/the-co

Tasting my first batch of homemade Amer Picon, made using Punch’s recipe. Very orangey nose and bitter bite.

Sadly, the vet sternly discourages me, a very giving soul, from sharing my bourbon with the critters. They are so denied the finer things.

@libationlegacy @ossobuffo What I have written down is 1/2 Suze, 1 Cocchi Americano (or w/e), & 1 1/2 oz gin. I thought I remembered 2:3:4 or even 3:4:5, but I guess what I have written here is actually 1:2:3? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, White Negronis are delicious. Attempts to make them whiter than their almost perfect, somewhat unnatural yellow [see default emoji "flesh" or ;) ] are possibly misguided.

I was going to change the zero's color in the linked graphic, but I've slept since then & changed my mind, or perhaps just got lazier. ;)

@noplasticshower
Barbadian Gin Swizzle in an 18 oz. frosted glass. 2 oz. genever, 2 oz. coconut water, ½ oz. lime juice, ½ oz. rich demerara syrup. Add above to glass filled with ice pounded to smithereens. Swizzle until glass becomes frosty, or cheat & freeze the glass beforehand. Add more crushed ice if desired. Top ice with bitters until it looks nice. Shove straw into glass. Drink. Curse when straw is clogged with ice dust. Persevere. ;)

A question, fielded from the home office here in Scottsdale, Arizona: What might one call "Two ounces of cranberry juice, an ounce of gunpowder gin, a half ounce of vodka, a dash of triple sec, and a bottle of tonic water"?

I had an answer for my friend, but told him I'd submit this matter to the Hive Mind for potential answers. ;) 🥂

@libationlegacy I decided to try slightly different proportions, so my drink was a little smaller. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Info in at text as you did with the clipping.

@jbond I'm just waiting to finish the Cocchi Americano before I open the Lillet. There are way too many bottles of wine-like substances open in my house right now taking up fridge space. '
