Groult is my favorite producer too! The Doyen D'Age is sublime--and will put to rest any notion that Jersey-made Applejack is drinkable.

NB most of your bottles look pretty empty--time for a trip to Binnys.

That’s the I’m working to finish of group.

I’ll pick up the Doyen this weekend!

Wasn't today, but had a 2 oz pour of this a while back. It was tasty. If I got another 2 oz, I would have finished the bottle at the restaurant and they give you the bottle. Turns out it sells for $400 on Ebay (the empty bottle).

Interesting stuff. I’ve had it a few times. 2oz is not a bad price. Super complex and worth it’s price... but the High end Frapin is better but not as complex at 1/3 the price.

I was on the Celebrity Reflection ship last month and they had the Louis XIII for $3,000 in the onboard shop. I asked if they sold many and he said about 3 over the last year, all Asians.

baijiu!!!!

I had some rice based baijiu in Portland at http://vinndistillery.com/

Interesting process, and normally never made with rice in China. The Portland stuff was amazing.

My Japanese mother in law got me this black label for my birthday today. I pulled some of my other bottles I have received from her side. These whiskies are serious guys, I’ll put them up to anything from other countries.

It’s 25-60%. Normally made from fermented sorghum. Tastes of the base grain and notes from the fermentation. Generally a thicker mouthfeel then vodka. Vodka generally doesn’t get notes of fermentation.

Neat stuff, a little different then what you normally get from the West.

Vodka, Sake, and a lemon twist.

Whoa, I got a JW Lees ale matured in Lagavulin whisky casks. This beer is a beautiful thing. I busted a Lag 16 out and it’s amazing the light smoke similarity the beer has to the Scotch both nose and tasting.

Love me some barley wine!
