And yes, have seen reviews of the Citadelle. Vince and I took a trip to see Joe the other week (Vince's first! He got the Marteau on Joe's recommendation and is very happy :-) and were talking about it... he is hoping to get it there at some point. I also bought the Crema de Mezcal on that trip and have been on a Margarita kick ever since. I need to remember what I had at Hummingbird that had Mezcal in it and branch out a bit. Ooohh… non-brown spirit drinkers club time!!

A co-worker of mine . . . You should try the Citadelle Reserve gin. It is an aged gin, it has some of the oakiness of bourbon/whiskey but is, well, gin. It has limited availability, so if you find it, grab a bottle. Cheers! Nope, not you Nicole. A co-worker of mine . . .

If it is me I must state the following in my defense (and if it isn't, please introduce me to the other person so we can start a club): -I always qualify the statement with the fact that I know it is a character flaw. -I have tried, even with professional assistance, to overcome this but I can't help that Bourbon, Scotch, etc. kill off everything they touch, especially my taste buds. -I told Justin the same thing one night at Hummingbird and he made me a Blood and Sand anyway (I did not watch him make my drink). He expressed his surprise that I tasted the scotch through it all. (My response to the drink was something along the lines of "i taste a hint of orange overwhelmed by some kind of scotch or whiskey.") -I still try everything anyone with me is drinking when it has one of these ingredients just to see if I will find the right combo. -I more than make up for it with my gin consumption :-) Hey– I resemble that brown spirits comment!
