New Whisky!
So I went to San Francisco last week for a conference, and happened to be staying at a hotel close to John Walker & Co. I figured I’d stop in and see if they had any Crème de Violette, because I can’t get any locally thanks to the PLCB. I’d picked up a bottle at a little corner liquor store the day before, but wanted to get another one for PeterB since he’d tried and failed to order us a few bottles through the PLCB’s terrible SLO program a while ago.
Turns out I left with a bottle of Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette, a bottle of Peychaud’s bitters, a bottle of Regan’s orange bitters, and two bottles of Compass Box whisky that, uh, fell into my arms.
