Sweet.
2 bottles on their way.

Got my order in this morning.

The 2 bottle limit was a good idea.
My two are on their way.

Looks like a new Tippin' & Typin' thread may be in order soon.

"It loosens the tongue"

Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime
step out from the past and try to hold the line
so how come history takes such a long, long time
When you're waiting for L’Artisanale

Not the way I drink.

That's exactly my point.
It's nice that the rest of us will be able to try it.

L'Artisanale sold out. There is still some Wormwood left. Funny how the rarest is the last to sell.

If he could, Cros would have had the entire barrel of Artisinale shipped to his doorstep.

>Funny how the rarest is the last to sell.


time will tell, you can feel the wormwood in your sphincter with this one, not that there is anything wrong with that...

I'll find out.

G&c will like that. His sphincter is quite partial to the feel the wormwood.

That was my plan.

If the Wormwood Blanche is the one that I think it is, We had a taste of it at the distillery.
It really does have a very strong wormwood presence.
I liked it.

Sounds very good.

L’Artisanale Est Arrivé

I hope there will be a treat at my doorstep when I get home tonight.

Oui!

My bottles were just handed to me at work. Now what to do.

Go home sick.

No good,
I already took Friday off to judge a beer contest in Rhode Island, and attend the following festival on Saturday.
My boss would laugh at me if I claim sickness.

Especially since he knows what's in those packages I get.

Ha!
I'm going home during lunch to check.

My arrived moments ago. Both bottles are numbered, but sadly not sign by Ted.

My stoop is bare, I think I'm gonna cry.

Those monkeys have great synchronicity, I got mine right at exactly the same time Grey Boy and Green One did. I think the monkeys are Santa Claus.

The left coast is still dry.

The anticipation is getting to me.

Left Coast reporting in drenched in new absinthe. The holidays are officially starting early!

Just tripped over my boxes on my way out to the car. I'll have to wait until tonight to sample them.

You have internet access in your car?

I was just about to bemoan the slowness of the stagecoaches in this area... when of course, the monkeys arrived.

The wax seals have broken off in transit, but the bottles are safe and sound.

Fist sip neat reveals that lovely fruity wormwood flavor.
Mmm, soon I'll snuggle up with a bottle and get a little more intimate.

Ours are here as well.

Knowing that my package is probably sitting on my porch doesn't make it easy to stay here at work.











called the Ms. Prole -- package arrived!

Now THAT is what I call fennel. Knockout wormwood too. Yum. L'Artisinale is fucking delicious. Good job, Eric. And thanks Peter for organizing the whole thing. The end results prove it was well worth the effort.

None for me.

I'm sure that your stoop won't be bare for long, one way or another.

True dat.

Naked stoops are so pitiful.

Mine was adorned with my two bottles.
I believe I'll be pouring myself a glass shortly.

Whisker licking good.

What the "bacon-flavored breakfast cereal" said.
The mouthfeel of this is amazing,
I hope people are PTFA'ing!
This is how to make it.

I'd say the question that brought this about has been settled, decidedly in the favor of the maker.

Patrice: " No, you can not do that!"
Eric "this is what I came here to do"

InDoubsitably

Who the fuck is Fartishanal?

The UnBurnt™

True dat. Cleanest big batch absinthe out there, period.

I had a wee nip in Seattle,
but even before then,
I had no doubts.

As one who favors blanches over vertes,
I'm still impressed.

Perhaps it's a bit more evident,
that all of us might have something to learn.
