neptune,

I just got a bottle of malort. Yes. It’s vile. Bitter, herbal, barely sweet, acrid, astringent… It’s bad.

I have a whiskey aged on chestnut. It’s very good. Different than all the oak whiskey out there. A little earthier?

I have a bottle of aquardiente. It’s kind of a minty drink. Not good or bad persay.

Ouzo and absinthe are pretty typical I guess. Rhubarb liqueur and I’m not sure what to do with it.

Vincent,

The spirit of Christmas future.

Lophostemon,

I have a 5000 yo former prince of some whacky kingdom I can’t pronounce. His head is partly caved-in but he’s generally cheerful despite his gruesome cause of death. He lives (haunts?) in the sink but comes out to scare the dog and MIL. Classic white robe type deal but older than the usual ghosts I encounter.

Partner made a jalapeño infusion we call jalapeño-cello (as in limoncello)

Seven Caves Tiki Gin is pretty unusual. Fruity.

And some odd amari I suppose!

Milk & honey gin. Doesn’t taste like milk, but once the dregs have evaporated, there’s a lingering smell of sweetened condensed milk.

Habanero Brandy Liqueur from Flying Leap Vineyards & Distillery in Elgin, AZ.

It uses a derivative from the production of their Habanero chili wine, the neutral grape spirits they use to sterilize the habaneros that would normally be discarded. The result is undrinkably hot, but they found they could dilute it and combine with a grape brandy and cane simple for a nice spicy result. Not as spicy as you’d think to be honest considering it is habanero.

Goes really well in hot chocolate this time of year.

NoiseColor,

42 year old schnapps, made by my grandfather in the year I was born.

jws_shadotak,

It’s not particularly rare but the we have a spiced rum called Kilo Kai. It’s mostly sold near Chicago.

We’ve had a consistent supply from visiting family members over the last few years.

Hucked - A Huckleberry Bourbon that is as good as it sounds. It’s by Lolo Creek Distillery out of Lolo, Montana.
