That is just about identical to the old Canadian Club Classic bottle that was available up to about 1 - 1&1/2 years ago here in oz. The black plastic stopper was always incredibly hard to open.

I could not agree with you more. It is ultra smooth and very tasty and puts cognac I've tried costing twice as much to shame.

This is why I was hoping one of the flavair-type tasting clubs would allow me to pick a wee dram of these, before shelling out serious cash on something I might not even like.

Case in point, and not even in that league: I LOVE me some Jack, but I can't even drink Gentleman.

Congrats on getting the moocher out the house

Made some monkey mules tonight with the Kirkland Small Batch (Barton’s Juice). Not bad for an $18 bottle! Makes a nice cocktail!

A local restaurant here has a bourbon drink I became obsessed with. So I decided to try to recreate it. All I had to go off was the description from the menu. I knew it was bourbon, had dried pears as a garnish, could taste/smell cinnamon and had some kind of pear liquor. Anyways tried all kinds of combinations but could not get it right. The only pear liquor I could find at the store was waaaaay off. Very clovery tasting with almost no cinnamon so I decided to make my own.

Put some cut up pears, with cinnamon stick in a jar with sugar and vodka for 24/hours. That stuff came out fantastic! I also it hard to find decent dried pears online and the ones that were decent were $$$$ so decided to make some dried pears also.

Anyways the final recipe I came up with with was equal parts bourbon and pear liquor (can go more or less depending how sweet you want it), dash of walnut bitters, 1/4 oz lemon juice, touch of maple syrup shaken well and served on the rocks with dried pears.

Sooooo good I had to force myself to stop drinking it.

I did some pretty extensive Photoshop work for a friend who's writing a research article. This was his way of thanking me. I would have done the work for nothing just because he's a long time friend, but the reward will be appreciated. Slowly.
