Lochan Ora Liqueur by Chivas Brothers, Mrs. B has even written a review of it: http://summerfruitcup.wordpress.com/2010/11/21/whispers-of-whiskey-1-lochan-ora-liqueur/

Another Liquer that will likely go the way of Amber from Macallan.:eusa_doh:

Just bought a bottle of Benedictine, so the menu for tonight was a Vieux Carre. Tasty.

I'm enjoying a Duvel right now.

Just bought a bottle of Benedictine, so the menu for tonight was a Vieux Carre. Tasty.

Try a la Louisiane:

3/4 ounce rye whiskey.
3/4 ounce Italian vermouth.
3/4 ounce Bénédictine.
3 dashes Herbsaint, Original
3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters.

Mix in barglass with lumps of ice. Strain into a cocktail glass
in which has been placed a maraschino cherry.

Clisby Arthur's Famous New Orleans Drinks is a fun book to play with.

Lovely! I've not had one for ages.
We had a taste test of 17 commercial Sloe gins yesterday, very tasty.

Hmmm... what line of work, Mr. B, do you enjoy, that enables you to taste test 17 Sloe gins?

A glass of Primitivo Pugliese. Not the world's best wine, but it went really well with steak.

Yow! That's a lot of Benedictine. I just may have to give it a try though. I notice a lot of liqueurs have quite different flavors when using a dash or when using an ounce. I would be interesting to taste what happens to Benedictine in quantity.

Last night: An Oriental at Comstock and a Brandy Classic (Sidecar -sugar +Maraschino) at home

Last night, a taste of Bowmore single malt on the rocks

Gah! Tell me about it. Didn't the Examiner say it was the coldest Thanksgiving in 100 years? Luckily the wife and I have been warming ourselves with Rye tonight.
