Jago Vanilla Cream Liqueur
One sip of this decadent liqueur and you can taste the quality.
The vanilla is the star flavor, while the rich, dense cream sets the theme.
The producers boast that this is a 'fresh cream' liqueur.
They also brag about the real vanilla bean.
I think it is the perfect dessert--and I'll go ahead and say it;
it tastes just like alcoholic-ice cream. Yummy!

Marolo de Barolo, Grappa & Chamomile
Last summer, I learned how to correctly drink grappa.
Wine drinkers tend to swirl and then hold the liquid
in their mouths in order to enjoy or evaluate.
This the worst way to drink grappa.
Grappa should not be swirled and should be sipped and
swallowed without lingering in the mouth.
You are tasting the finish.
Once I discovered the proper way to appreciate grappa,
I found a new world of elixir to explore.
Marolo is made by distilling leftover Barolo solids.
While the grappa is aging in French oak barrels,
fresh, local, chamomile is added.
The quality of this grappa is fantastic.
It expresses a myriad of flavors on the finish.
It starts with notes of chamomile, honey, and flan.
As the finish evolves, flavors of peaches, green tea, plantains,
lavender, pecans, oranges, brazil nuts, and coconut are
layered in your mouth.
A tiny sip offers all this.
This is a great gift for a scotch, bourbon, or cognac drinker.
-BF $70

Charbay Green Tea Vodka
This is one fine sipping vodka.
The flavor of green tea is subtle, yet genuine; there is no mistaking it.
Like their other vodkas, Charbay Green Tea Vodka is made with the finest quality green tea,
they do not use flavor essences like other producers.
Polished, ultra-smooth, and floral, some like it with mixers;
I perfer it solo.
-BF $37
