I call BS, the MFers will continue to buy em from their normal allocation and sit on them knowing full well that they will sell them in a month when the hysteria dies down. It's not like there's dozens of  extrac cases sitting out there to be had. "Hey dont send me any of the good stuff this quarter, okay joe?..."

Let’s see how bad things get for restaurants before we assume that they’ll continue to purchase high end booze.

Tons of restos in Seattle are closing, some likely for good... if the whole country resembles Seattle in the coming weeks, shit will get interesting.

I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

It’s this thing from amazon, which was posted here at some point. You get a little melt but if you drink it fast enough it’s just a chill.

The question I have is does it chill your bourbon, because I want no part of that.  I use a piece of ice to push the alcohol out of the way of the flavors, that's it.  I don't want cold bourbon unless a mixer is involved.

I hate when I ask for a bourbon, and a single ice cube, and they come back with one of those pieces of ice that could sink the Titanic.  It's like red wine from one of the guns so many restaurants now use. They chill the red wine which compresses all the flavors. Red wine should be room temp. so the flavors, and aromas can open up properly.

It looks like there is a silicone mold that you put over the glass and then you fill the mold with water and then freeze the glass. Then you pour your bourbon on the ice mold. Click on the link and there’s a picture with step by step instructions of how it works.

Someone's making Manhattans!  Where are the Luxardos?  I assume the bitters is at home.  Has anyone in history ever used an entire bottle of those?

Probably takes us a year or so to kill a bottle each of Peychaud's and Angostura.  We make a lot of sazeracs and old fashioneds around here.  And I'm a little more heavy-handed on the Peychaud's than most.

Past couple of years, we got turned on to the barrel-aged Peychaud's.  Makes a better Sazerac imo, but about $10 more a bottle.  Oof.

After a stressful stop into Lincoln Heights HEB yesterday, I walked into Twins and grabbed a couple bottles of Buffalo Trace from the full shelf. If any of you surly fucks need to share a drink on a San Antonio rooftop deck, send me a DM. This week sucked.
