trying to get more fruit in my diet.

[ARNC]

No fruit in sight but I think this qualifies as dessert

@ARNC I’ve been wanting to try that as it’s pretty reasonably priced in the states. My only hesitation has been the fact that it’s kind of on the young side.

[ARNC]

@Jett129 you probably have access to more products than I do in the UK. Definitely worth a try - imho it’s better than the usual suspects for Manhattans. Want to try the Balboa at some point but will wait till it’s on offer!

[Inorganic]

@mclaincausey nicely done with the Fortaleza!

[Jett129]

My Million Dollar Mezcalita… I did’t have an orange and I think next time I’ll rim the glass with Sol de Gusano. Fortaleza Still Strength with Real Minero mezcal floated on the top with a lime squeezed in on the rocks @mclaincausey this would put an XHS smile on your face!

Recent pick up. Lovely hints of syrup on this one.

Negroni in a light, fruity summer version

The tasting that I went to was at my new favorite liquor store. Awesome selection and competitive pricing. My new go-to. Planning on getting some more exotic bottles in the future but grabbed some good ones:

Mind sharing where? Assuming somewhere in Denver?

[mclaincausey]

@pechelman bad form on my part

They’re in an old location with an iconic neon sign right next to beautiful downtown Golden. Just love this place.

[pechelman]

Thanks, @mclaincausey !

When we head back to town we normally spend time to visit our friends in downtown Golden. Will have to visit it next time we're in town! Mostly I was wondering if it was mile high wine and spirits; a close buddy (Steve) of mine is the buyer there.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey Going to be in Denver for about 36 hours in October. Would love to go there,but in all probability,not very likely. Is there any way to see what they currently have in stock?

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 next time I go I’ll snap shots of the inventory. Doesn’t look like they have connected their inventory to the website

[mclaincausey]

@pechelman oh yeah that place is not far from me, will have to check them out too.

[pechelman]

Say hi to Steve from me if he's working (tall, skinny, blonde guy). He might throw you a discount!
A couple trips back he noticed my IH jeans and I sent him to Berkeley Supply. He picked up his first pair shortly after that visit.

@scooter Not sure if this matters,because in the end it’s probably really good bourbon, but all their bourbon is sourced,which they’re totally transparent about.

My understanding, it's Bardstown distillate, and I have absolutely no issue with that...

So I work with an Irish boy and he recommends either Green Spot or Redbreast? Can’t say I’ve tried them. If we’re talking Rum the for me it’s Diplimatico.. not the expensive ones.. the standard base line bottle. Mmmm
