Comments Off on Holiday Booze News from Your Friends at Southern Spirits!
TASTINGS FRIDAY 4:00-6:00 WINE
TEUTONIC PINOT GRIS: Need something light for the holiday feast? Try this zippy little Oregonian.
CYPRUS PINOT NOIR: Russian river valley, is home to some of the best Pinot Noir on the planet, that’s right Francophiles!
SCOUT’S HONOR: A zin blend from Venge Vineyards. Wine enthusiast says it is Big and Smooth!
ROMBAUER ZINFANDEL: Speaking of big! Coming in at 15.9 abv, this zin drinks like a port. In fact I recommend treating it as such.
FRIDAY ENGRAVING 3:00-6:00
Stop by and get a Woodford, Gentleman Jack, Herradura, or Jack Single Barrel engraved with a short message like “Keith’s Awesome”.
SATURDAY ROYAL ELITE VODKA 1:00-4:00
We are helping launch this new vodka and we hope you will enjoy it!
KEITH’S CABINET: What Keith is drinking now.
El Dorado: This Rum has kept me going during the holiday madness.
Jefferson’s single barrel: More on this in the next section, but trust me it is awesome.
FORTY CREEK: When you have spent all of your money on Christmas presents but still want a quality whiskey. Forty Creek to the rescue!
POLI GRAPPA: This was a Christmas present that I couldn’t wait to open, so I did, and it is amazing.
NEW ARRIVALS:
That is right, we have our very own barrel of Jefferson’s Small Batch and Jefferson’s reserve! A few months ago, I was brought forty different samples. The sales man asked me which ones I wanted to try. I said “all of them.” I wasn’t going to let him leave with the winner! So I went through them all, taking notes on my phone. I then had Eric try the best five of each category and he liked the same two that I did the best and so now they are here! I am very proud of them, I hope you will like them as much as we did!
Small batch: This bourbon is a very easy going crowd pleaser with some excellent vanilla notes! The perfect gift for a beginner or advanced bourbon drinker.
Reserve: This one has some lovely earthy undertones that I had not really experienced in a bourbon before and I found irresistible.
MAHON: This Spanish gin was customer requested and I enjoyed trying it quite a bit. It has a very distinctive taste and was great on its own but would be wonderful in a Martini.
WOODY CREEK RYE: This highly regarded rye from Colorado took the double gold at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle competition. This was another customer request.
AMRUT SPECIAL RELEASES:
These are super limited and so therefore I have not tried any of them but they all look and sound great!
There is a Rye, who doesn’t want to try and single malt rye?
There is a double cask and a Sherry Cask.
RECIPE OF THE WEEK:
DARK AND STORMY
I think this is the perfect holiday party drink. It is easy, it is delicious, and it is FUN!
1.5 ounces of rum (Ron Cartavio black, Brugal, Medellin 8, El Dorado 5)
5 ounces of ginger beer (fever tree, bernheims, fentimans)
Splash of lime juice. Serve on the rocks.
