Jax based liquor company announces new launch

[Sportmotor]

I perfer Bushmill's Blackbush which is an Irish Whisky but yea taist is a waist on me sure

[ProjectMaximus]

very cool. The gin sounds much better than the vodka.

You must be old  Vodka is way better then gin can ever be

lol, i think im just several years older than you. I do prefer vodka to gin as well, but cant do the jalapeno.

some time this summer I'm gonna have time to visit all the downtown bars...sigh.

Sport, you would be very surprised what a good bartender can do with gin.  The base flavor is strong enough to stand up to other ingredients and the botanicals add a couple of more layers behind whatever additional flavors the bartender adds.

Go to the Riverside Wine and Liquor bar any weekday night and ask Kyle, the bartender, for one of his Gin Flowers.  Hendricks Gin, elderflower liquor, some kind of bitters, muddled candied ginger and a little bit of Jamaican Ginger beer for fizz.  Strong, smooth and complex.

Well Sport, there are no free drinks, only complimentary ones. Furthermore, except for maybe 2 high end liquors, nothing I have is over or near $10. Our philosophy is that going out shouldn't be so expensive one can only afford to do it once a week.

Gin is for old people but Blackbush is for...what? middle-aged malcontents? Ulster loyalists? It's not Catholic whisky that's for sure. LOL

Tell you what, since you seem so open minded, I'll offer you the same thing I offer anybody else: try any of my drinks, if you don't like it, fine. We can always go back to whisky. I have a phenomenal selection of those as well.

The whisky is good to sip on or mix into an Irish Martine
Im partle to(in no order) Frankfurter Beer, Bacardi 151, Sam Adams Octoberfest, Blackbush from Bushmills, *MY FAV* Oban Scotch (runs around $77), Cold River Vodka, Vodka 14...and Jager got to love the Jager

and I am not Catholic by a long shot XP

but yes I need to stop by most likely sometime during the week to give a gin*shudders* a try

[JeffreyS]

Gin is superior to Vodka in everyway.

[Dog Walker]

Duh!  It has flavor!  If you want to split hairs, all flavored vodkas violate the law which legally defines vodka as water and alcohol without flavorings.

[Sportmotor]

I can taist the differnce between top self - low self to differnt brands of vodka

[CS Foltz]

Big difference between grain based Vodka and potatoe based............but I converted over to beers long ago! I had a customer that shuttled between Lakeland and Chile and he brought me back a beer from the southern most beer maker..........dark and smooth beyound belief! Outstanding beer!

[JeffreyS]

Vodka is for gurly fru fru flavored martinnis. The wine cooler of the white liquors.

[LPBrennan]

I do get a chuckle out of Black Widow Gin... How about Brewtser Sisters' Elderberry Wine?

[Dog Walker]

Look out LP!  You are showing your age with the Brewster Sisters' reference.  Chaaaaarrrrrge!

Field,

I've been approached by their sales department, but to be honest, it's not my style. I'd rather use a great vodka and fresh jalapeno then somebody's jalapeno vodka, and I think that our guests at Dos Gatos expect that from us. I just don't believe in the quality of the product they are putting out; until I'm proven wrong, I'm not making shelf space for them. If I wanted infusions, I'd do them myself.

I only carry products that I stand behind 100%...or were given to me free. (LOL on the last part!)

~j.

Fair enough... I trust your opinion!  I was at Taco Lu some time ago and Don clued me on the difference of a tequila/fresh jalepeno concoction versus an infused blend.  It is a distinct contrast for sure.

Really enjoy the cocktails you put together.  Can't wait to try the new summer lineup!

90 proof!

[Coolyfett]

Interesting, so this company will be in the same league at Absolut, Grey Goose & Patron?
