This EW12y met its end in a suitable spot—late summer night on the back porch. Not worth the cost of re-importing it from Japan or what they charge at the distillery store. But if you can get it for what the Japanese pay it’s a mighty fine old school bourbon. Cheers! My home attempt at recreating The Adjudicator, a house cocktail I tried recently at @latinamericanclubsf in SF’s vibrant Mission District. Realized I had the same brandy brand at home, though a different sweet vermouth, and gave it a go. A new cocktail fave. Cheers! Picked this up back in 2019 and just cracked it. I used to be WAY into Willett but this was the last bottle I bought—prices climbing and rye whiskey options expanding, etc. Out of the gate, it’s familiar and fine. We’ll see how it opens up… Cheers!
