Last Minute Christmas Gifts
Posted on December 18, 2013 | By TheEnabler | Comments Off on Last Minute Christmas Gifts
Okay pally, so you have little time and lots of people to buy for? Ever since Madmen came out several years ago, old school drinking is now all the rage. Remember when you were a kid and everyone gave liquor as presents? Then the damn kids of the hippies got all persnickety and stopped all that with their political correctness. Now, the kids of kids of hippies are rebelling and so it is cool go give liquor as a gift again. So, here are 5 last minute bottles that will be appreciated by any hippie grandkid or will kind of annoy a hippie kid if that is your aim.
#1 – Angel’s Envy Rye. If you like rye or want to try it (it is very trendy now), this is the one to get. Pricey, but the best new brand of rye to come out in the last few years.
All that and a bag of spice.
#2 –
Nevermore? Not likely. Forever more.
St. George’s Absinthe – Again, a cool liqueur that has come back into its glory. Do you friends like reading Poe? (No, not from ConAir) then they will appreciate this. This was the first American absinthe released after the ban was listed after 2007 and remains the best.
#3 – Leopold’s Gin – If you love gin and tonics, you will love this gin. The best gin I have tasted for gin and tonics. Simply the best. Buy it, love it.
Boy, give me a lime!
#4 – Papa’s Pilar rum – New to Northern California this rum is inspired by Hemingway. A man who knew how to drink. I have often wished I could go on just one binge with that man. I especially like the aged dark rum. If you are a rum man, give it a try – buy one for you, one for giving as a gift.
I would punch 7 Cubans for a glass of this!

The Liquor Locusts
"The harsh, useful things of the world, from pulling teeth to digging potatoes, are best done by men who are as starkly sober as so many convicts in the death-house, but the lovely and useless things, the charming and exhilarating things, are best done by men with, as the phrase is, a few sheets in the wind." ~H.L. Mencken
The Dangers of Thirst
"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing." ~Jerome K. Jerome

The Jug of Empire!
"How solemn and beautiful is the thought that the earliest pioneer of civilization, the van-leader of civilization, is never the steamboat, never the railroad, never the newspaper, never the Sabbath-school, never the missionary -- but always whiskey!" ~Mark Twain
