Do we even want to know what it was? :|

My dad, for some reason, decided the top shelf was a good place to get a rum to mix with egg nog last winter and poured in a specialty finish Four Square that you can't even buy anymore It's a horrible feeling, made worse when they tell you "at least it tasted good"

Preach! When she gave me the same line it took a fair amount of restraint but of course, the right woman could also be considered irreplaceable

It was another offering from Whistle Pig, which was a small batch item that is also no longer available. Oh well...

Probably like the plant Fig... but if I had to guess that is likely what the fig newton *slightly* represents. It was a little sweetness with an earthy tone and I actually enjoyed it a bit. The Cherry infused one on the other hand.... so sour! Might use that one (or both) as a mixer.

Who likes rum? I want to buy but don't know how to choose. To be honest, I was dreaming about a glass of wine all day long. Recently I bought several bottles from https://haywines.co.uk/ and can't wait to taste it. My friend recommended to buy Chateau Soussans Margaux 2016, I actually love wine from France so that I hope I'll like it.

The Pendergast #2 from the book I'm Just Here For The Drinks by Sother Teague.

.5 oz Benedictine
.5 oz whiskey
.75 oz sweet vermouth
.125 oz sherry
3-4 dashes orange bitters

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

The recipe didn't call for sherry - but it called for a specific Kansas City whiskey that adds a certain amount of sherry to their finished whiskey before bottling, so I improvised. Pretty tasty! Make sure you use a sweet vermouth that you really enjoy as it takes center stage here (we used Carpano Antica).

Some you don't really gain much like OF 1920, OGD114, Makers mark CS, MM private selects (the ones I've tried), and store picks are hit and miss.
I think "Drops" is the key here. Not a splash....a few drops....

Yeah, I have an actual eye dropper that I use too... and THAT is what makes me "serious" to other people and not my collection somehow

Add a few drops and let it sit for 10 minutes for full effect.

I'm taking a break from distilled spirits lately. This is a current favorite, at least until the local brewers release their stouts.
