how does it age?

Very well IMO.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any recently so I won't be able to compare it directly until then.

A Blackthorn Cocktail (this one from "Vintage" and quite different from the Anvil-Irish Blackthorn). Not really sure how I feel about this drink yet.

2 oz Old Raj gin

3/4 oz Dubonnet Rouge

3/4 oz Schwarzwalder Kirschwasser

Poured out the Blackthorn and made myself a Boulevardier:

3/2 oz Rare Breed Wild Turkey (barrel proof) bourbon

1 oz Campari

1 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth

Mmmmm much better.

I guess you figured out how you felt about the Blackthorn after all. :P

I made a Final Word with 1.5oz each of Rendezvous Rye, Yellow Chartreuse and lemon juice, and 1oz of Maraschino.

Well the blackthorn sounded nice, perhaps the maraschino cherry would have made the difference?

That must have been the problem. :) I think it is just a tad too warm here to drink Black Forest brandy this time of year.

Definitely one of my favorite CCB brews, if not my favorite.

Yay, Stork Club! Wish I had seen these in time to make one myself, but I am enjoying some Hanky Panky from the Savoy:

Stir and strain and orange peel twist

That is a nice haul on the cocktail reference library Shelly. The FBI fizz looks good. I will give it a try tonight.

I also like the look of the romance Al. That will be the second for tonight.

Yay for Head-case cocktails!

Bombay and Dolin martini. On the deck. Fuck work.

Not fair! I want to have a drink and say fuck work too, but I am in court right now! Although our current witness is a gin drinker, the judge is a whiskey drinker and probably wouldn't appreciate a nice stirred martini. :/
