Had the pleasure of Clyde May's  Alabama whiskey at Little Miss Whiskey's recently.   Made with apples and reminiscent of Armagnac. No liquor store around DC (that I've checked) has even heard of it, let alone carry it.  Ideas anyone?

I love the Green Hat!  I managed to snag a bottle of their Ginavit which I have enjoyed a bit too well on several occasions :)

this order JUST turned up today, more than three weeks later, and missing one of the bottles. pretty sure I'm going to stop ordering from drinkupny, especially because I"m finding other online dealers



still, I'm sitting pretty right now. kinda wish these had shown up later in the week so I could save them for my superbowl party. oh well

Do you plan to drink four bottles by Sunday?

Man, Superbowl is SIX WHOLE DAYS from now, plus my friend bill's wife just left him and he's coming over tonight. I don't even think these things will make it to SNL.

Also, I'm an alcoholic so that should be factored in as well.

I got a bottle of Wasmund's single malt whiskey from Copper Fox Distillery over the weekend. That stuff was something else. It felt like I was drinking a cigar haha.

that campfire is really really good.

I never got my order from November.  Ended up buying Jefferson's.

Yeah, I didn't get my second order of the Forester Birthday either. It's disappointing and the same thing happened a month later with Drinkupny, which is why I won't be ordering from them anymore.

went to radiator whiskey last night in seattle. incredible place, great food.  did a local flight with three different distilleries: oola, mischief, and westland.  all three, not so bad, and particularly a fan of the mischief john jacob and oola 100% rye.  westland just opened, and while it didn't blow me away, it was a great pairing for the beef brisket.  apparently they have a very unique distillery, similar to scotch distilleries i'm told, and i'll be touring it in a few weeks.  i'll report back  8)
