360 Vodka. Tales of the Cocktail schwag from 2009, if I remember correctly. Unopened simply because, well, I have tons of vodka and I don’t use it. But I’m starting to want to use that bottle…
Peaks of Otter Winery “Chili Pepper Wine”. Got it at a farmer’s market near my parents’ house in Amelia, Virginia. One dimensional, and … uh, this bottle has been open for A LONG TIME and I’m kind of scared to open it now.
Cruzan No. 9 Spiced Rum. These ended up in pocket at Repeal Day, honestly legitimately I think! It’s not so great…it reminds me of Kilo Kai. That’s, uh, not so good, compared to rums like Kraken, Chairman’s Spiced, the Lash, etc.
Pimm’s No. 1. One of the many Pimm’s variants, this is the only one you can get with any kind of regularity in the US. Delicious stuff, especially for the spring and summer.
Four Roses Single Barrel, 9 years old. Got this through a friend. It was labeled “OBSK” which according to the guide means “Rich in spiciness, Full Body”. Note the proof: 62.5%, or 125 proof. According to the label, it was bottled in 2011 - IT’S FROM THE FUTURE!
Gran Classico Bitters. Gina Chersevani at PS7 told me I had to get some of this, so I went to Ace the next day and bought a bottle. Delicious bitters - use it where you might use Campari and see the difference.
Castries. OMGWTFLOL I love Castries. It’s a rum-based cream liqueur that’s peanut flavored. And it has an odd bottle. But it is SO FREAKING GOOD that if you don’t have any GO OUT AND BUY SOME RIGHT NOW FOR #@%!’S SAKE!
