The Carajillo might be the best cocktail ever invented

@Enki_Amenra

Will have to try this.

I’m an Old Fashioned guy.
Also, like a Negroni.

How do you make that? Recipes I'm seeing use that licor 43.

What I’ve did this evening is 1.5oz tequila, 1oz espresso liqueur, 1oz licor 43

You should def get licor 43. It’s awesome to use with whiskey for diff types of riffs on old fashioneds

Found me a bottle of Booker 2024 130 proof today.

Received a Bookers 2024-03 for Christmas. 130.3 proof.

 

[mrMet]

No problem, $170. It’s my favorite sipping whiskey. What do you prefer for Rye? Cognac?

Depends how spicy you like your rye. Michters Rye is solid at $45-50. Sazerac Rye is a nice soft rye at $30. Rittenhouse (my preference) is 100% rye ag $30

Not a fan of cognac, but I do think Delord Armagnac is pretty solid

Can never go wrong with the OF. Never been a big Negroni guy, I think it’s a tad too bitter for me

Yep that’s the one I bought today. I love the Little Book, but can’t find it after two bottles earlier this year.

I've got a bottle of rye3. Haven't been a fan.

I buy Hemingway Rye, will have to try others. Whistle Pig good as well. Cognac - Biscuit & Debouche is my go to unless I decide to upgrade to Remy XO.

Have one of those also.

I’ve never tried their stuff and have only heard mixed reviews. Nothing ever outstanding

 

[InVOLuntary]

I started collecting the Bookers but they got too expensive for what I think they are worth. I've only got a couple of them.

Hemingway is solid but a little steep for my price range. We have a Whistlepig Store Pick that’s pretty solid

Wild turkey 101 rye is also solid at $30. Green River rye solid at $35. Bardstown at $70 is super good but a little steep $$ wise imo

 

[InVOLuntary]

I've got a bottle of cognac. It was a gift. I've never opened it.

WhistlePig is good but has gotten pricey for what you get. I prefer the 6 year PiggyBack over the 10 year WhistlePig.

We sell it at 109.99. I always save a bottle from each batch through the year and sell the vertical at end of year

It’s okay. Nothing to write home about.

I cannot drink a lot because of the cost. Found a bottle of Weller special reserve green label when I was in Charleston last week.

I think the first one i bought was $75. The next one was $95.

It’s one of those that has crept up majorly since covid

It can usually always be blamed on me lmao

Envious of Booker being $110, I’d buy more often.

Quit sniffing the cork on the water bottle.

It’s a double edged sword. Part of the reason I couldn’t offer you one even if I wanted to, because we have none
