Shall we talk gin? The Botanist, anyone?

That was my aunt's favorite gin. Here's another shameless plug for Far North Spirits: this time for their Solveig gin. Good stuff! Makes a kick-ass Negroni.

Learned something new today..

There is such a thing as The Botanist Gin, from Islay no less.

No gummies...

Also, maybe I mentioned this one before, if you’re interested in trying an American “Scotch like” whiskey, the single malt from Westward is decent.

Ok, I'll throw this request out:

Moved into a new (to us) house, and it has a bar in the basement. I've always been a beer (and some vodka) guy before getting into bourbon a few years ago. I'm a dummy on the rest. So here is the ask:

What is your pick for me to stock for one bottle of each liquor type, in the $20-100 range for each? Only caveat besides bourbon is Absinthe, I have that covered

Another reasonably priced whiskey while enjoying one of @Ripper2860's delicious jazz recommendations...

The last Bushmills I had was with @FLTWS from here a few years back and it was wonderful. I took him a bottle of Tarnished Truth bourbon, made in Virginia.

A safe (besides the good stuff) "daily driver" bourbon is Evan Williams BIB.
Edit: Or Wild Turkey 101.

Looking for picks on anything except bourbon, I'm good there

Keeping with @Ripper2860's pink theme, and being that it's Friday night ....

.... the obvious choice:

I went slightly heavier... slightly...

 

[jonathan c]

I can very easily tell the difference between a $12 and a $145 bottle ...

... me too ... the 145er is never opened

My favorite gin

Ugh. Waiting for parts to fix my tractor. Lawn mowing not a great subject. Nothing crazy but my son ripped off the grass deflector b

Good one! My wife ran over a stump with ours. BANG! She did a good job of it, broke quite a few things, bent the deck as well!

What ZMF headphones are y'all gonna purchase for their "Spring Limited Drop 5-2-2025?"

None, I'm done: 2xVC, VO, 2xAtrium O, Caldera (4 locations).

Monkey Shoulder is highly rated in my area and very reasonable in price.

I have a number of friends and colleagues in Scotland (Scots all), and all of them (myself included) are of the opinion that Monkey Shoulder is a very good blended dram.
