Best of luck DP. I sober up in January/February. Try Sam Adams Holiday White Ale, it's my favorite of their offerings alongside their Cherry Wheat.

Tonight Old Captain Rum pretty good ! grin

Old Captain brown rum is a powerful blend of different, authentic Jamaican rums. Old Captain brown has a soft character and a distinct aroma with fruit notes of apricot and plum. Drink it neat, on the rocks or in a mix and enjoy the round, sweet taste.

I love Costco's Kirkland XO Cognac. It's a mix of Cognacs from 12 to 23 years old. Age is everything in Cognac, and this XO has it all over other XOs that are only aged for 6 years. Costs only about $55.

I picked up a bottle of this white rum I like it pretty sweet taste and less "chemical" as Barcardi.
No idea who the producers are.

Hennessy was my favorite before I discovered the Costco brand. Hollander: FYI, Costco is a "warehouse" retail chain here that sells food, clothing, pharms, appliances, electronic, alcohol, etc. often in large lots. I often joke that you can buy extra virgin olive oil at Costco in 55-gallon drums. They have a lot of leverage over their suppliers, which is why they're the largest retailer of alcoholic beverages in the US, and can bring in wine and spirits under their "Kirkland" label. Some of their labeled wine and spirits are pretty good and very reasonably priced. How about you opening a Costco in the Netherlands? lol

I've never had the Kirkland brand bourbon as they don't sell it in my state. Have you had any of them and if so, what was your impression?

My favorite cognac is the Louis XIII, but it's one of those bottles you only break out on special occasions. It's obscenely expensive. Pairs great with a maduro

No, I've never had them. I used to drink bourbon decades ago--JW Dant and Old Forester, both 100 proof, but brandies are my only spirits drinks now.

Nearly all red for me, sometimes sparkling wine. Mostly California, Spain, Chile, Italy. Grand Cru Bordeaux and Burgundy hard to come by up here.

Not a wine person outside of chianti which I rarely drink. More of a whiskey/bourbon & beer person myself.

Love red wine. We sometimes do the drive to Santa Barbara to add to our collection. Love Pinot Noir, but lately I've been falling in love with Cabernet Sauvignon. A friend of ours goes to Napa quite a bit and he brings us these mad Bordeaux varietals. Love Cabernet Franc

Drinking Real Minero Largo tonight

Made with maguey Largo, which is a member of the Agave karwinskii family. Real Minero Largo can be peppery with notes of peanuts and coconut. It’s known by many as one of the finer mezcals on the market and it is reportedly the favorite of Graciela, who runs Real Minero operations.

Hey H! If you enjoy Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style wines, a 2016 Cabernet Franc from Loire Valley is exceptionally good. You can get it cheap too

I just poured myself a glass of 2015 Maxville Estate Cabernet Franc, which is more full body and a bit more expensive, but just a beautiful wine as well. Grown in California, but it's basically like a real Bordeaux. Tastes almost the same

Love my Malbecs. Very robust. I highly recommend the Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard 'River Stones' Malbec. Anything from 2017 to 2019 is incredible

Kirkland, Costco's brand, sells an excellent Argentine Malbec at a very reasonable price. Costco is the largest wine retailer in the US, and has a lot of price leverage on their suppliers.
