Greylock Gin


Hand crafted in small batches at Berkshire Mountain Distillers, GreylockGin is a classy, classic American Dry Gin of prodigious character. Focused aromas of spice, sweet evergreen, creamy angelica, candied lemon zest, flowers and pulpy juniper are balanced and poised tantalizing you to taste. The palate proceeds with the implied scents, bringing the juniper to the front, and adding to its dimension flavors of cinnamon, dandelion, celery root and nuances of light orange zest. The finish is clean, round, vibrant, herbaceous and tingling with bright spice. Enjoy this in a sexy cocktail or a refreshing long drink.
i love this in:
6 Parts (1 1/2 Oz) Greylock Gin
3 Part (3/4 Oz) Carpano Antiqua Sweet Vermouth
3 Part (3/4 Oz) Stock 84 VSOP Brandy
1 Part (1/4 Oz) Stock Apricot Liqueur

i am sorry...

i know i should post more, but . . .
The truth is if i buy the booze it isn't going to get written up.
i mean really it is like when i was a musician and the venue would tell you: "You have buy these 100 tickets if you want to play this show, but you can sell the tickets and make XXX dollars.... That is just bull.
The last sample i got, no strings attached,  for review was Panama Red (yum . . )(over six months ago...).
i was actually thinking about shutting down the blog because . . .well really no samples - no write ups. Looking over the many posts on this blog most are snippets from the other outlets that i get paid to write for; that isn't fair. i have friends that are bloggers and who post as infrequently as i do that have storage areas for their booze and a filing system for their invitations to cool exotic places -all expenses paid.
Really i am glad for them, but i wonder what i am doing wrong?
Please feel free to comment-- i'd love to see your opinion.
Either way i got a sample in the mail (thank you) and notice of another on the way. Alas, i have no time to adequately look at them till the New Year . . .soo, Expect a couple reviews in January.
Also i have noticed that more people are looking at this blog. Thank you and if you have any ideas for me, i'd appreciate the time it takes you to share them with me. So i don't know, for now, i guess i'll keep up with the infrequent posts.
Happy Holidays.
