A Few Nice Spirits

[geoffd]

I was out last night & stumbled accross a pub, a block from chapel street that had some mighty fine spirits at very good prices.two standouts were an armanac & a barenjager, there was also a nice calvados & a port that smelled & tasted nice but really lacked body.

The armagnac was an 1985 vintage only cost 14.50 in a yuppie bar, I was expecting $20-30 a shot to be honest, it was just beautiful

the barenjager was very similar to Athol Brose, I'll have to get some of this for Johnny Kingston, I'm sure the honey was leatherwood, if not something very similar.





anyway, if you get a chance to taste either of these, I highly recommend them.
I've just e-mailed Delord for a pricelist on the armagnac.

Nick's in Doncaster seems to stock it if it's any help...

I know our local Dan's carries this. Have always been tempted to try it...

Wow, $119 for a 26 year old armagnac, I'll buy that when I get paid next

might get a bottle of the Barenjager too, both would be nice tipples for xmas.


thanks for the finds Du & pmunny

Ah, the old bear hunter.

We were staying at Innsbruck a few years ago preparing to go out for a feed one night. While the wife was showering and so on, I decided to pull a chair up to the bay window of our room overlooking the Inn river and treat myself to a few 'aperitifs' from the pint bottle of Brenjger I'd bought in Poland.

I'm use to staggering a little on the way home - on the way out, not so much.
That shits deadly.
