It's that time of year; I need to make a round of the Good Will shops and look for some vintage cocktail glasses.

any tips on what to look out for? i see some sometimes but i can't tell if they are junk or worth picking up

I just look for things that appeal to me. Don't expect sets, I mean I'll pick up just a single glass sometimes. It's also cool to see just how huge our glasses are these days and how small a classic glass is. Here's a random pic I just found of the very first one I picked up:

Drinking this, which Pio recommended a while back. Really good. Not aggressively spicy, but with a real nice vegetal, almost piney finish.

Glad you're enjoying it. Really quite nice, isn't it?

Royal connection.

Gin, violet liqueur, egg white, sours and lavender tincture splashed on the top (can be replaced by ang bitters).

I gave up booze for September so have had nothing to contribute recently, however, I just finished celebrating my brother's first child with some VEP Chartreuse, and then a tasting of El Dorado 15 vs. El Dorado 15 aged in sauternes casks.

Camera pointing down into the jar gave an odd perspective but rind of five oranges, two vanilla pods, and a palmful of toasted French oak chips:

It's home on the shelf for the next month:

Along with the 15 year Sauternes aged El Dorado I got last week I just finished grabbing the following:
Willet Pot Still Reserve bourbon
Redbreast 15 (Compliments my 12 year, and 12 year cask strength)
Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch bourbon
Jose Cuervo Platino Reserva de Familia (replaces a bottle I am almost done with)
Don Julio 1942
