NYE. Nice wine with dinner. Boulevardiers and Partagas Mille Fleurs afterward.

My new favorite store-bought ginger beer:

Naturfrisk_Ingefaerol_620x.jpg


From Denmark, organic. Just 8.5 g / 100 ml sugar (Thomas Henry has 14 g, Schweppes 13.4, ...). Ingredients: carbonated water, ginger root extract (12%), cane sugar, grape fruit juice (3%), lemon juice, brewers yeast, chili. Tastes relatively close to Morgenthaler's recipe. Also relatively affordable (1.39 € / 330 ml). Highly recommended! Might still prefer Fever-Tree's, but it's more expensive and has more sugar as well, iirc (also not organic, fwiw). Will have to do a side-by-side someday.

Played around with my Vesper recipe and used my many guests as test subjects. Think the recipe I've dialed in is:

.5 oz gin
.75 oz Cocchi Americano
2.5 oz vodka

Stir, garnish with lemon twist. Go for a gin that's more botanical than juniper.

Any New Year's drinking resolutions? I'm going to try to drink more economically, for health and financial reasons. That means limiting myself to a two-drink maximum at a bar (let's see how that works out!) and buying less expensive spirits for home consumption (and drinking less at home) where possible. Obviously the latter strategy has some limits -- there's no substitute for the pricey Amaro Nonino, for example -- but I think I can get away with cheaper base spirits for my mixed drinks. The vast majority of my mixed drinks are gin or whiskey based, and I've gone with handles of Beefeater's and Buffalo Trace, respectively.

Be on the look out for HPP juice. I imagine this is going to be used by every bar across the country. I was working on a juicing and syrup business to supply local bars/restaurants. This week a juice company came into town selling lime juice for about $10/liter. This is around the cost of a bar producing their juice in house. The product retains all flavor for 40 days. This **** is pretty amazing. I think there are some product innovations I'm gonna explore further. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.

Nearly the whole lineup. Any particular one that stood out?

The 15 has always been my favorite and it was once again on this batch. The 20 is a very close second though. The 10 and 12 years ones are fine bourbons, but they're not even remotely worth the hype; I prefer high-rye bourbons though, so YMMV.

Thats a nice spread. Good looking selection in the background as well.

Looks like an interesting establishment.

Walls of INDY and rare. Also online. But the tastings are out of this world. Entire Pappy line. Entire BTAC line. All those Springbank. Blackadder tastings lots of Amrut and Japanese
