This is it…new favorite gin! Mixed or straight up, time to buy a case!

I love a good gin. Enjoy!

Just to clarify, it’s a type of still used. it’s delicious. Smooth and light. Fruity side of botanical, delicate.

Ksorota’s Law (2021): delicate + botanical == diabolical…

LOL! It refers to the period of time required to get from the liquor store to your comfy seat. About 15 minutes for me.

Q: Is the time from ‘store to comfy chair’ <, =, > time to roll tubes in favourite h/p/a ?

Oh, much > than. These are just estimates, and have not been vetted or peer-reviewed:

Small tubes (6922, 12A*7, 6SN7, etc): 1 second to turn amp off, 5 seconds to remove tube (1), 3 seconds to insert new tube, 1 second to turn amp on, 5 minutes of warm-up. Total time: 5 minutes 10 seconds.

Power and rectifier tubes (6080, 5998, GX37, 5AR4, etc): 1 second to turn amp off, 30 seconds to don Ove-Glove (2), 5 seconds to remove tube, 3 seconds to insert new tube, 1 second to turn amp on, 5 minutes of warm-up. Total time: 5 minutes 40 seconds.

Trip to liquor store: 15 minutes. Tube roll (worst case): 5 minutes 40 seconds. Math is hard.


(1) Assumes use of 'tube rolling fingers' where the nerve endings were burned away long ago
(2) No nerve endings = no pain, but the smell of burning flesh isn't a joyous aroma

Did I miss happy hour?

Got my liquor store run out of the way, time to burn off the fingerprints.
