It's good straight doesn't burn going down at all and it has a great smell and a dry after taste I think. and a little burn on the tongue after.
I'll bring some at Mopars in the park. I got a lot to learn Mike and still looking forward to your orange shanty.

The orange Shandy is very good!. This bottle didn't have a ton of carbonization but it tastes very smooth.

So this is from the same Distillery that produces the Glen Fargo. Wife and I decided we wanted to drink something totally different this afternoon. Gin and ginger ale got the nod. The gin is quite floral without the overbearing pine/juniper taste some boutique gin has. Very light and crisp, lime with some kind of berries maybe? It is a potato base gin. It is yummy! It is five o clock somewhere, right?

Sounds like fun. Potato neutral spirits. Spuds have starch, amylase turns starch into fermentable sugars. The yeast eats the sugars and produces alcohol and as a by product, carbon dioxide. The spirit is distilled again and flavors are introduced into the vapor stream through a gin basket or muslin bag with juniper berries, coriander seeds, lemon zest, cucumber, almonds, rose petals and who knows what else. Gin is some interesting stuff. And yes the pine tree smell comes from the juniper berries.

Vodka is a little tamer than Gin. Less Pine Sol taste. LOL

Pine sol taste is not that good but my father in law likes it so when he comes to visit we have Gin mostly on the rocks but I prefer throwing some tonic and a pile of green olives in mine. lol
I like the pine taste ok just love olives with it.
 
I cashed in on some coins today and bought a bottle I have been wanting. Damn is it good!
