Mass-market liquor? It serves a purpose, but then so does Taco Bell. Who's
your favorite distillery? Pick any category- rum, gin, whisk(e)y, etc. I'll
nominate Prichards for bourbon and rum, both Anchor and St George for their
whiskeys and gins, and the Cooley distillery for Irish (Tyrconnel &
Redbreast). Oh, and McKensey makes some fine whiskey (Finger Lakes
distilling of NY; with some help I plowed through a whole bottle of it at C18)
Next?

get to try a dram of Bruichladdich 40-year-old. That was something to
behold.

a lot of what I actually drink is theirs. I'm in their tasting room
usually weekly, and the bartenders are phenomenally creative. Willet's
been doing some nice, whiskey-ish things that appeal. And I'm a big fan
of Suntory's Yamazaki 12-year.

85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly
complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar
then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse."
Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."

drinking some thing that taste of nothing so much as dry-rotting horse
tack would be so tasty?

don't often hit the local distillers (St George and Old World Spirits).
Second that on Willet's, I've got a couple bottles of their stuff.
FWIW, I just tried some Ragged Mountain rum (Berkshire Mtn Distillers,
Sheffield, MA) - amazing.

I read that as a couple bottles on their staff.

http://www.craftspiritscarnival.com/ then. Guy of Great Lakes
(undoubtedly with several cases of tasty hootch) will be there and I am
sad that I'm only in the area the week before. My timing for that trip
is horrible.

They got rid of it because they judged it more trouble than it was
worth. (And considering they'd gone to great lengths to minimize its
worth, I suppose they were right.)

Mine, too, I'll be on the east coast that weekend. We'll see what the state
stores there have.

drunk to it like I could with other dorms. Came-in without enough
drinking experience to actually answer your question.

Following up on my own (old) post:
http://www.railean.com/
"The RAILEAN Distillery is located in a sleepy little town along the shores
of Galveston Bay in San Leon, Texas. Affectionately referred to as a "small
drinking community with a large fishing problem" in reference to the
numerous dive bars dotting the Galveston Bay landscape, this small city once
served as a stronghold for the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte. The area is
also home to a thriving population of wild parrots called Monk Parakeets,
which is the official RAILEAN mascot."
They make rum and blue agave liquor. I'm sure some will appear at
convergence, assuming there's a decent store nearby.
