I've got a friend who lives in the U.K. and drives a tour bus all over most of Europe and points beyond. He's in Andorra at the moment, driving for a ski holiday group through December and January.
Every year about this time he sends me a bottle or two full of "liquid presents." Always the most superior top shelf stuff and the kind of booze you don't even get in the states.
I think it's safe to say he's excelled himself again this year.
This is the real thing, not that Czechoslovakian crap that looks like Windex and tastes like a vodka and glass cleaner cocktail. The same thing that made Van Gogh go all Freddy Kruger on his own ear and has been blamed for everything from Bohemian society to the Lanfrey murders in 1905.
Two bottles, one French and one Swiss. I probably don't want to know what he paid for them, much less having them shipped all the way from the middle of the Pyrenees. Both are from extremely limited productions and were rated well over 90 by the self proclaimed "experts." Macerated and distilled according to recipes that were in popular use when Degas was painting L'Absinthe and Artuhr Rimbaud was writing Un Sasion en Enfer.
Here's to having friends with good taste and the foresight to pick up an extra bottle to share when they're buying good stuff.
