A mug of cocoa, forgotten how nice one is, haven't had this in ages.

Cal, you ever tried Pappy Van Winkel?

My grandfather had his own bar in his basement with an enormous 50's era collection of barware.  He died a couple years ago, and I was recently given a brandy snifter with a spout from his collection like the following:



Does anyone know how you're supposed to drink out of that, or are you supposed to pour it into another glass, or something else?

[PDH]

As far as I know the spout was just a variety of snifter.  Some had long glass tubes, even.

I suppose it just helped keep the cognac off your starched shirt whilst you were expounding on the woes of the monied class during a long session of cigar-smoking post dinner enjoyment at the gentleman's club.

That could be it, those were different times.  Cigarette holders were designed to keep women from getting ashes on their clothes or getting smoke in their hat.  It looks weird that you're supposed to drink from a spout.

They're for slamming Kamikazes at the yacht club.

A very nice Malbec. I love Malbec.

Just saw this post.  Yeah.  It tastes just like WL Weller, which while still rare, is actually obtainable.  I have 3-4 bottles of Weller right now.

Have you ever tried JTS Brown?

Have you ever tried JTS Brown? 

I have standards bro.  I guess I'd use it as a mixer.

[Admiral Yi]

I didn't know it was a real bourbon. 

I asked because of The Hustler.
