Whats in your Glass?

Subtle as a punch in the mouth... =))

Saves having to sip with a pinky raised, ay?

Look what wandered into the liquor store from the Black Forest.

I'm gonna be spanking the monkey tonight! :-O :))

Snap! 23 is the exact number of botanicals that went into my last gin. Anything interesting going into yours?

Kapea

Juniper, coriander, angelica, licorice, fresh tangerine peel, orris, cassia.

23 is the gin batch number through Joelle, my gin basket.

One of my customers sent me a bottle of their Wattleseed Gin. If you see a product from Ironbark Distillery snatch it up, cause this is some excellent gin. Well worth seeking out.

Yes, it's a cracker.

My first taste of Mt Gay last night was their Black Barrel edition. At less than $50 a bottle it's a very cheap offering for the quality. I was very impressed.

Aged in bourbon barrels apparenty.

Got me all excited so i went and bought a box of Franziskanner and a bottle of Zacapa 23 Solera. Im $170 poorer but very happy. :))

Kapea

Damn that must have been a big expensive box of beer!

I know. I was just messin with ya.

Living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean I am painfully aware of what we refer to as the "Paradise Tax." That is the cost of freight to get stuff here. I find a good deal on a thing for $100. Then it costs another $100 to get it shipped here.

Speaks loudly to buying local.

Milk costs 8 bucks a gallon but you can get a pineapple for a dollar

Kapea

Milk is local. $2.99/gal.

Pineapples are free. Damn things grow like weeds around here

punkin

Yes the actual excise on that bottle of spirit is like $25 before we start paying for the bottle.

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late," the prophets (profits) cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

Kapea

Goodbye stranger,
It's been nice.
Hope you find your paradise.
Tried to see your point of view.
Hope your dreams will all come true.

White collared conservative flashing down the street,
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high.

Fall on mountains, just don't fall on me.

Kapea

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand

Kapea

Mississippi Queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Lived a Cajun lady, we called her Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was a-gettin' their kicks
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine
