Picked up the Glenmorangie 12 year La Santa (bourbon/sherry cask finish) for Christmas sipping. I enjoy all sorts of liquors but in the cold dark months Scotch is my go-to. Bourbon for the spring and fall, gin all summer long.
Speaking of gin, Fainting Goat Distillery in Greensboro makes one called Emulsion that I think is excellent.
What makes a good gin for you? Do you have any recs that might be available on the west coast? My wife loves gin and I’ve been wanting to get her something fun.

I really like Leopold Bros. They're a distillery from Denver and I know they sell in CA.
Foursquare can be found under different labels. I have a Real McCoy 12 waiting to be opened. Have the Foursquare Zinfandel blend which is pretty solid. Passed on 2004 and 2005s a few months ago and now kicking myself.
Durham Distillery here in Durham makes Conniption gin which has received a ton of international awards and recognition. They have an American Dry at 88 proof and a Navy Strength at 114 (!) proof. Very drinkable and flavorful even at that level of alcohol. If you’re in NC I recommend picking up some to give a try.
