once it's been sold to someone and they intend on selling it it's called the secondary market, there are some states that allow liquor stores to buy bottles from individuals, which is why that guy's store had a bottle of Wild turkey 101 from 1986.

There's good provenance on it I'm 99% sure of it. I mean the bottles they have from 1890-1930 are still at shoulder height or higher and the camut calvados has always been sealed with wax.

I used to be too lazy to make simple syrup and try to dissolve the sugar by stirring, but now I've gotten into the habit of making it I'd not go back.

Also I realised recently I've been making sour mix wrong. I used to do equal parts by weight lemon and lime juice with sugar heated to dissolve the sugar and then bottled. Turns out I'm supposed to use 1 part lemon, 1 part lime and 1 part simple syrup so I'd have like ... 1oz lemon, 1oz lime 1oz water and 1oz sugar. I think mine is actually better my mix works out 1oz lemon 1oz lime 1oz sugar no fucking water.

Surely the water just dilutes a drink down and makes the syrup more likely to spoil? Everybody talks about 'modern' tastes being to have slightly stronger drinks so you can taste the higher quality alcohols anyway.

>get into calvados
>prefer VS over XO
It's always nice to prefer the cheaper option, tbqh. Plus, if I'm drinking brandy, I want the fruit to be front and center. The more aged it gets, the more I feel like I'm drinking word whiskey.

>>16986927
Spanish I find tends to be your classic starter rum "sweet" flavor, not helped by the fact that a lot of them add extra sugar after fermentation. (Fuck you, Diplomatico is not good.) Overall, they can be good with smokier, more tobaccoy flavors, but sometimes the sugar is just too much. Spanish rums, I feel, have the greatest diversity of flavors.

Rhum tastes much much closer to cachaca. The sugarcane flavor is extremely prominent, even in decently aged rhums. Your enjoyment is directly correlated with how much you enjoy sugarcane.

Spirits and wine are really the only alcohol I can be bothered drinking, I’ll have a pint or two of Guinness or Yuengling every now and then but beer is meh to me, I just like to feel a sucker punch in my mouth, though the only one I really don’t like so far is Old # 7 Jack Daniels. Shit is like swallowing a cannon ball, which is funny because I’ve had the el cheapo borderline absinthe stuff with others too cheap to get something decent before that didn’t hit me nearly as hard. Regardless I only drink on occasion, and I like to make the time worthwhile.

Drinking vodka & lemonade now, taking a break from dark liquor cuz I've been drinking entirely too much whiskey and brandy/cognac but I'm getting more apple brandy and calvados by the end of the month because it's my favorite during fall & winter.

VS is less aged than XO, so it retains more of its fruit characteristics. The French are known for "dosage", but I've not heard of different ageings getting different amounts of supplemental sugar. What's probably happening more is wood tannins in the older vintages masking more of the sugar.

I remember finding it locally through a tool on the official website, which appears to no longer exist.
You may need to take the mail order pill. https://www.wine-searcher.com/ is a great place to find specific whiskies.
Whiskey shipping places usually charge $15-20 for shipping whether you order 1 or 4 bottles, so it becomes more reasonable when you split it between 3-4 bottles.
Mail order is a necessity if you're serious about fully exploring this hobby.

I kinda grew up on bourbon (raised in bfe Kentucky) so we didn't have shit to do but drink. My go to Bourbon is Knob Creek. It's smooth without being obnoxiously expensive. Woodford is always solid as well, but Knob Creek tastes better to me. Four Roses and Buffalo Trace are good on a budget as well. By far the most overrated, at least to me, is Makers.

As far as the very high end shit goes, never tried. Tho maybe one day before I die.
