What are you drinking tonight?

As an employee of a certain Chicago-based liquor company, I can confirm that as Kirkland bourbon is distilled in Tennessee, it is not Beam distillate. Honestly can't speak definitively on the rum.

While reading an old cocktail book earlier this year, I found a recommendation to mix equal parts both dry and sweet vermouth to make a "perfect Manhattan." Can confidently say this is my preferred way to mix a Manhattan now. Topped with a couple Luxardo cherries and it's near perfection in a glass.

Spice Tree - nose is fresh bright fruit. Green apple, pear/banana, coconut. Smooth start with a spiky mid. Baking spices and wood.

Edit - nosing the empty glass I get spiced apple. Yummy.

Naked Grouse for me tonight. Don’t think it will be a rebuy for me even at $30. Monkey Shoulder is better for the money even though they have different tastes.
