I mention this for one important reason: vanilla cane orgeat.

Wow.  I mean...just...wow.  The response was amazing this month!

As my fellow scofflaw Marshall mentioned in his write-up, bourbon has a special place in our hearts.  If I had to pick a "desert island' liquor, it'd be bourbon.  If I thought about what I drank the most in college - other than beer - it'd be bourbon (or even after college).  Heck, my ( Read more... )

Bourbon is an old friend of mine, and with that, I couldn't resist at first going for a variation of a Lynchburg Lemonade.  I had a lot of ideas on how to deal with one of those and then I had this (censored) conversation with Marshall:

As befitting someone who loves bourbon, I thought I'd start with that.  Anthony Dias Blue's The Complete Book of Spirits recommends doing between three and six bourbons, sipping each.  I'll do that, then taking a swallow, ( Read more... )

Though I tire, I promised I'd post - and it's been a while since we had anything up.

Coming up here soon in the Den I'm going to start doing regular liquor reviews.  Depending on how well you know me, you may or may not know that I write video game reviews for GamersInfo.net.  That's my "second job" (first being an engineer).
