Lassiter Distilling Co Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Obviously, we all love our own products. After years of planning, study and compromising in one way or another, we all absolutely have to love what we make. Our North Carolina Rum (forthcoming here in NC, for those of you around) has developed into a complex, slightly sweet, floral and full flavored white rum which I love drinking. But sometimes, after a long day of distilling, bottling, labeling, government paperwork and cleaning, I want to drink and appreciate someone else's hard work. So what does everyone admire these days? I've got a couple I'm really into these days: Balcones True Blue is a work of art. North Shore Distillery's gin is completely unique and delightful. And Great Lakes Rehorst Vodka is the only vodka i have ever been able to drink since college. Anyone else want to give some props? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralty Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Nice thought Lassiter! I got a bottle of Whiskey Del Bac Dorado from someone that I've been digging into lately, some Sunchoke Brandy from Koval, Bourbon from 2Bar....... Now I'm wondering if I have a problem due to the number of bottles in the cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffy2k Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Darek Bell is an inspiration to me. Love Corsair's Triple Smoke and Quinoa whiskeys. I'm also a fan of fellow Pittsburgh distiller Maggie's Farm Rum Queen's Share Bourbon Barrel aged rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captnKB Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Wyoming whiskey! There is always a bottle of their bourbon in my cabinet. Koval oat whiskey is also a heck of a good spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsuranceMan Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Gentry, Super cool idea for a thread buddy! I have to say that I am in a very privileged spot and I get to taste a lot of cool products from all over the country. It would be inappropriate for me to put any one ahead of the other and most everything I have had is AMAZING. I think that speaks to the "craft" side of the industry and each and every product has its own unique and complex flavor profile which is even more stunning. No one gin, vodka, whiskey, aquavit, bourbon, etc. is the same. I have not tasted everything from all of my clients as of yet but I will say that everything I have had has been very good. I cannot wait to see what others have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyspirits Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'm a big single malt fan. I either sit down to a dram of Bruichladdich (been drinking a lot Port Charlotte "Heavy Peated") or if I'm in the mood for something this side of the pond I don't think Westland Sherry Wood Single Malt can be beat.

Foreshot Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 @HedgeBird I picked up a bottle of your Rye. I got it Sunday at PA Libations in Pittsburgh. Very good product! Sipping some now. I love the fruitiness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreshot Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yeah you guy should meet. I hate Rye and you guys both make rye that I actually like. Very different flavor profiles but both awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlickFloss Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 -I like HFS' Orphan Girl and Neversweat. -I still haven't found anyone who can make a better old-fashioned than me if I have a bottle of Starlight's Private reserve brandy on hand. -I believe that bluecoat gin is phenomenal and I can't wait to try some of Cassell's other products out of his new operation in philly (and elsewheres) -Mississippi River Distilling Company makes (or made) an unbelievable coffee liqueur. -I like death's door's gin, but Im gonna credit JJ on that instead of the distillery- can't wait to see what the Bently heritage estate has in store for us big dog! -Although not craft distilled, it absolutely was "craftfully" blended (and around here we have a saying that we probably stole from else where: Distillers are rock stars, blenders are porn stars.) the original Bourye from highwest was delectable. I have a half a bottle saved for a rainy day but I don't know what occasion will actually call for that much fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
