Menu looks exciting. Wish there was a bit more seafood offered. Thank you for sharing the information. I'll admit, after having been a bartender and bar manager for years (albeit years and years ago) the first thing I checked out was the drink menu.( Especially in a Bourbon Club bar.)
Perhaps you can answer a question for me…Why would anyplace that recognizes the value, skills and craftsmanship of a finely made spirit then proceed to "garbage it out" with so many strong, overpowering flavors? It takes years for a Master Distiller to learn his craft. It cannot be learned on YouTube. It takes experience, years of trial and error, the cooperation of the weather as well as a distiller willing to take the risk on said individual. Then sometimes as many as 8-12 years (or longer) to see the fruition of those skills. I appreciate that some are willing to experience the amazing nuances that come into play with a single sip from a hand warmed glass with maybe a drip or two of water, But an entire list of variations that do nothing except mask all that talent and hard work? Just pour a coke in it and be done. It just seems like a waste and an insult to all that love. Like using a mulberry silk shirt for polishing Ikea furniture because it "shines better than cotton". (Apologies if I seem smug.)
