another winner ! I too have been experimenting with various Rye's, Winchester and Redemption and Pendleton are three that have peaked my fancy. Long time Canadian whiskey Manhattan drinker, if you're able to find it, Canadian Club 12 year Small Batch, might just be my favorite. One other thing, gotta have a 'Bada Bing' cherry !

I use these too. Natural cherries, not treated the way the traditional maraschino is.

My preference is the Fabbri brand Amarena Cherries in heavy syrup, though... That's an expensive habit.

I prefer Luxardo cherries for my drinks. The Amarena are better for foods/desserts in my opinion.

Listening and drinking in StereoHopic

I'm on another Manhattan... this one with a dash or two of Fee Cherry Bitters. (Got'em, might as well use'em... they reek of cherry candy though. Thing I don't like about Fee Bros is they use artificial flavors and coloring. XP (that's the Mr Ick emoji!).)

Anyway, I'm off Beer again, at least a month... maybe longer. I'm like Cartman on Beefcake, and Mr. Mackey is standing there saying, "carbs are bad, mmkay?"
But seriously, two weeks in on my dietary changes and I'm down over 15 pounds! Smart eating and exercise. (And no beer. )

Since I rarely hit liquor hard, I figured I'd be OK with the occasional tipple.

That's some good stuff. Is that the Vol 1 I posted in the not-too-distant past?

I assume its V1, that's part of the url too. Yep, says Vol 1 on the label.....it is tasty! Never saw it here before. Got some Crux Solar Sailor which they hadn't carried before either! Variety is good!
