My BILIL gifted me Sangre de Vida yesterday. Something like 55%, but the wife immediately took to it because of the bottle. Saturday night was rough, so I didn't feel the need to try anything new yesterday.

Cool. If you can find this one, try it! Its amazing. My parent's neighbor is an investor in the company and gave me a bottle. Smooth is an understatement!

Nice! Always looking for a great recommendation that fits my criteria of super smooth and tasty!
Premium Tequila is definitely on the rise. I was at a dinner not too long ago where I was presented an offer to invest in a start-up brand.

Noooo! It's going to spill!

There, I fixed it for you.

Friday night was 1800/cranberry, about 8 of them, at the casino.

Saturday started with massage/South Coast granache, then evolved into Tres Generaciones neat for dinner, and finished with 1800/soda water at casino (because cranberry just too much sugar)

Having a sip of Chevalier cognac X.O. to celebrate the sale of a house.

I had a few bottles of Rum with less than a finger left and taking room so I decided to become a Master Blender. Is that wrong?

Hard hat and Kevlar on...

ha. this is great. very common practice in the whiskey world...it's known as an "infinity bottle". the logic is just to keep blending the last inch of other bottles into the infinity bottle so there's an ever-changing mash bill and flavor profile.

i dont see why it wouldnt work with rum. how is it???

Are you chasing it will jelly?

I guess I'm not so weird after all.

It tastes like rum & coke. I would never blend my good stuff.

oh, for sure you should savor the last sip of the good stuff in its natural state as the distiller gods intended!

but it's a fun project for lower-to-mid-range bottles. i do enjoy rum as well, so now i'm thinking i need to start one of these bottles too!

I used older maple syrup jars that were opaque and had a rubber stopper. Simply labeled “Hooch”
