What Are You Drinking? December 2024

Amontillados and Palo Cortados are my favourites styles.

If you like amontillados, do try a Toro Albala. Montilla-Moriles being further inland grow Pedro Ximenes grapes which have a fuller palate than Palomino which feature in Jerez and Sanlucar.
The term “amontillado” refers to sherries becoming “like a Montilla” (in character) as they age.

Sherry are such amazing value

I’ll definitely try it if I find it. So far no Amontillados or anything with PX grapes where I live. I’ll probably grab some next time in Nashville.

It’s Winter now so… Remy Martin XO. Cold weather is cognac weather.

I toured the Sazerac House in New Orleans last month and fell in love with the Sazerac Cocktail.

I've never been a Rye guy. I always found they had a "thinner" or lighter mouthfeel than Bourbons I like and found the spiciness overwhelming for the mouthfeel. I also have NEVER mixed whiskey, always neat for me. This was just beautiful cacophony of flavors with the anise from the Herbsaint, the Peychaud's bitters and the lemon. I've been making them since I got home!
