Independent bottler Lost Lantern, based in Vermont, has been killing it since they launched in 2020. @amsco15, they might have something you would enjoy:

It is sad that a nice supermarket near our area was closed (Dreager in San Mateo). I went to the place at their 50% sale on the last week hoping to buy a nice bottle of XO. There was a nice Hennessy Paradis was in display too.
No luck because all good wines and spirits were gone at 35%

I thought Vince would walk in any second in full surgeon gear and perform the act with unfettered precision. He has been a bit quiet on the Forum as of late. Thought he may have found his dream gig.
Our family drink for generations. Old Forester Manhattans. My grandmother had one every evening till she died at 88, and my dad as well. My wife hates the way my breath smells after drinking bourbon, so that’s the end of that.

I love my manhattans! Just made one now after laboring with the outside landscaping. Cheers!
Go ahead, rub it in! I’m a big fan of Cocchi Vermouth di Torino along with the Old Forester. And a Luxardo cherry.
