Named for a sincere drinker and recommended only for such

Last night's intensive study of Good Spirits by A. J. Rathbun led me to try the Ed Dexter.

You know, I think you really need to get to Bleu Bistro. You're serious about this. So are they.

ah, i promised to follow up with you so we could meet up. bryan and i will be going to the seattle rep tomorrow night to see the imaginary invalid...any chance you want to meet somewhere 10ish or so?

I'd love to, but I woke up with a cold. So I think my germs and I will keep ourselves this evening. But next time you're in town please drop me a line.

Have fun.

I hope that at some point you can try the Eagle Rare 10 year old, a Kentucky bourbon. It is my favorite whisky; they use new oak and quite a bit of Minnesota rye. Elmer T. Lee is the same mashbill but they select it out of "honey" barrels that are very smooth and sweet; also good, but the added zing and roughness of the Eagle Rare make it something I think you'd like.

I've also been drinking Aberlour a'bunadh, which is the ambrosial nectar of the gods.

Well, I'll be. The Washington State Liquor Control Board not only recognizes Eagle Rare 10 year old, but carries it widely enough that the online database claims they have 6 bottles at the Redmond store.

Elmer T. Lee they claim ignorance of.

I still need to write up the great Martinez experiment; for those who can't wait, Vya sweet vermouth is worth the premium price, imho.

All these Buffalo Trace whiskys are yours, except Europa. Attempt no whisky drinking there.

as long as europa != the french oak experiment, i'll totally cool with that. i'll leave all monoliths alone.
