Grumpy and highly jealous!

Henschke wines are definitely cellar favourites that I always keep on hand. Might crack open a bottle tonight. Need to relax after spending 6hrs cleaning up the back patio. Might have a cider or two beforehand.

yes, load up on the ciders before cracking a henschke. makes perfect sense????

now if you'll excuse me, i'm on the Pinot. glorious. all work, of course.

Been hearing good things about pinhook, on the hunt for the high proof purple top one myself. Hopefully that one you got is as good as I hear about the others.

That’s my first bottle of pinhook, I’ve also heard really good things about them. The high proof is the first batch they’ve distilled at the old Taylor distillery, let me know how it is if you try it!

Most recent pickups a few weeks back.  I love the regular Basil but this is just ok IMO.  The Michter's is excellent.

Nothing super high end, but both Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare are harder and harder to come by these days. Grabbed these while out running errands yesterday.

Today's haul, a couple 1.75s.

Kicked this up out while looking for another bottle, if you haven't had anything from old Carter you're missing out. Higher end price tag but worth it in my opinion.

john, are you serious that whipcrack recommended that rum to you? how did you offend him?

not that i have a problem at all with it - reasonably sweeter style and a bit coconutty, but poor steve had to edit out his comments from when i served it to him for a video. most of it ended up in the potplant (extremely unfair, i thought) and he announced that it was the sort of rum he'd take to a 16 year old girl's party. and then realised the utter inappropriateness of that suggestion. 

i have several bottles of their various rums so i will be interested to see what you think. 

[El Presidente]

Dear wine writing genius.

It is a liqueur....and seen/treated in that light, i enjoy it.

Steve...all is forgiven. Enjoy it immensely these days.

It may not be chateau pomposity delivered gratis in the faint hope of a few positive adjectives from a tired scribe in the twilight of his career ......however with a cigar, it delivers

Well, I had mentioned that I had enjoyed Bacardi Carta Fuego immensely to El Pres on ZOOM last week and he suggested I try the Ratu 8 year old, I guess since the Bacardi is hard to find nowadays ever since Dan Murphy's, the large Australian liquor supermarket chain owned by Woolworths, no longer stock it. (How I wish I stocked up a few bottles!)

I will let you both know how I find it. ?

Used up a Christmas voucher at the bottle shop. Happy times. Manhattans all round!

Summer time .....

[FatherOfPugs]

Picked these up today. The Veuve for my anniversary tomorrow, and the Wilderness Trail for this evening. Have been hearing great things about it, and I love a single barrel.

[lovethehaze]

2 good ones here. The STA by Maplewood is absolute ???

[Stogiepuffer]

I have never seen or heard of them until a few months ago. A guy I met went to the distillery and had I think a 12, 15, and 21? Maybe a NAS, 15 and 21. I tried the first 2 and fell in love. He was saving the 21 year for his daughters wedding. Is it sold in the states?
