One of the great things about the Spirits world is the friends that we get to make in it. And one of the fun things we do is share samples of interesting or rare bottles that we come across. Mondays are the perfect night for opening one of these samples. If you are only going to have one drink, make it something different, that will make you think, and hopefully stimulate conversation the next time you see that friend. For this episode, we are giving you a couple of Christmas bonuses. First I have my first guest, my good friend Stephen, who is a cocktail historian and the assistant Master Distiller at Treehouse, tastes Boomeragn Cherry Liqueur with me, then I taste the Cappelletti Americano Rosso. Both of these samples were provided by my great friend Peter. This is definitely a great one for bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts. If you like what we are doing here, and are looking forward to the full episodes that are coming, follow or subscribe to the podcast. Also give us a rating or review. Follow on Facebook and Instagram. Email me at [email protected] if you have a sample you want me to try, or if you want to try something I've talked about. Thank you for listening. Cheers.

My name is Rich and I want to be your Spirit Guide, helping you navigate your way through the intoxicating world of beer, wine, and especially spirits. These things can do more than just get you a little tipsy, they can stimulate conversion and facilitate human connections that can last a lifetime. Along the way we will also talk about things we do when consuming spirits like books we read, movies and TV shows we watch, and music we listen to. Life should be a journey, and all these things can be part of that journey. I look forward to connecting with you guys and adding you to my journey here. Drink good, but always drink responsibly. Cheers.
