If there's a heaven and I get to choose where I want to be, I want a seat at this bar. I tried 3 drinks because my friends like enabling my lush personality. I had the Sazerac which was beautiful crafted and smooth. Some people can't handle the Sazerac but I had 2.
My side kick from the mean streets of Vermont had an Apple Pie Harvest with a pipette of all spice liquor as a shot. Our bow tied, mutton chopped bartender wasn't about to succumb to the challenge and torched an apple slice with a dollop of brown sugar, butter and freshly micro planed nutmeg.
I made an executive decision to order a 9 year aged estate bourbon for the hubs. I think he'll keep me for the next year and I might get a puppy out of the deal. Be warned the 9 year old bourbon is 120 proof. Strong but mellow.
We spent a bit of time of the patio and begged our other friends to drink with us. Luckily they're not a bunch of teetotaling pansies. I don't have time for that.
Oak and Ivy was able to assist our friend with a deploying husband that left that morning, meet our friends from Punta Gorda that are stuck in a 300 sq ft RV with a couple that thinks Black Velvet is still a thing and us the former Chicagoans. Everyone was happy, relaxed and enjoyed the great drinks, craftsmanship and chill vibe.
