Absomphe Report post Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) It sounds remarkable, and if I still drank absinthe, (except for the very, very occasional splendid Pacifique) it might even be my first choice. However, this incredible Evil Twin Michigan Maple Jesus, as well as its followup, Big Bad Baptist # 73 (Blue Copper Coffee) have succeeded in making forget all about whatever that above elixir is.

Hedonmonkey Report post Posted November 21, 2016 The ebb and flow of things. Having or developing additional interests doesn't negate the love of the subject (or beverage), it just adds to the things you have interests in. And I'll just go ahead and say it, even though I love my vertes, I'm not always in the mood for absinthe. Also, I don't always post when I'm having a glass. I post whenever I post and about what I happen to be drinking at the time. I think many things factor into what people are posting and what they're drinking. Well that was much more thinking than I intended to do... so now it's time to actually drink something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Songcatcher Report post Posted November 21, 2016 Oh I agree. I have a nice adult beverage or two daily. I only post about it when I feel like it. Never fear, Absinthe, Scotch, and beer, will always be near, and dear, dear. And now, I believe I'll take you up on that offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Songcatcher Report post Posted November 21, 2016 Speaking of old booze, I believe I'll be having this just recently acquired, (as in today) via Italy, albeit only a single serving, Laga 16 bottled I believe in the 90's, pre Diageo, per the 'White Horse Distillers Glasgow' at the bottom the label. Which, if so, would mean it was distilled late 70's-80's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absomphe Report post Posted November 22, 2016 I cut my Lagavulin teeth on an identical bottle in 1992, so I'm guessing mid-seventies. It seemed a bit smokier, and also a tad richer in sherry flavor back then. Big Bad Baptista today, which is Big Bad Baptist aged with cinnamon and Mexican chocolate.

Alfred Jarry Report post Posted November 24, 2016 And we think you need to go back to your old one! Chiyomusubi Kitaro Jungin Junmai Ginjo "Kitaro" Clean (as one would expect with a ginjo) but with great viscosity. Soft and velvety. Sweet but dry. Musty honey scent and mineral smell (think Flintstones Kid’s vitamins). Tastes of cantaloupe melon and honeydew. Overripe banana/fruit flavor. Finishes rather quickly. It’s dangerous how easy this is to down. Nice stuff and a good start to our sake sampling. Cool cup to keep too (we think we’ll use it for a fountain pen holder). Really like how it is designed after the manga GeGeGe no Kitarō by Shigeru Mizuki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since we are in an Eastern train of thought, we shall compose some haiku, using you as our inspirational source. 1. The clown has a tongue And teeth that are iron-clad. Watch him iron wind! 2. “Glacier and sage-brush” Make up his name, and yet He does not still drink absinthe. 3. An image to which He forgets. But, Pontchartrain Beach does not forget. 4.
