No idea to both. Just smelled the bitters they are great. Huntsman recommended Christian Brothers and I went to a Christian Brothers high school so I figure that's good enough for me.

latest scotch addition : ardbeg 10y for me and glenlivet 15 for next poker game.

Bought a Haut Bages Liberal 05 for the daddy to add this his bordeaux collection, he has a wide range of pauillac, saint-estephe/julien/emilion, graves and margaux from 05 now!

Probably not interesting to most but...a local maker of sake and shouchou in Kobe Japan decided to try their hand at Whiskey. First with a blend and then with a single malt (so far they only have a 5-year bottling). I picked up one of each.

I'm heading to Minneapolis for two days. Any good liquor stores I should know of?

Ahhh, my neck of the woods. Where are you going to be and how far are you willing to drive? Also, what are you looking for?

Rittenhouse 100 Rye (Bottled in Bond), Peychauds Bitters, and Dolin sweet vermouth.

Bought my first bottle of Tito's today. Very clean.

so a family friend goes to the bahamas quite often and said she'd bring back some bottles of Havana Club.

Enjoy, but you have better stuff in your cabinet now.

Cross post from the beer thread:

This showed up out of nowhere at my liquor store on Friday. It didn't stay there long though.

It's my well brandy, for mixing most every cocktail, and certainly drinkable neat. As refined as a single district cognac? No. Outstanding value for money? Yes! ~ H

Willing to drive pretty much anywhere and looking for bourbon, rye, (Buffalo Trace's recent annual releases), scotch, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
