Jeff Wells Tastes Michel Dumas And Anthony Quinn ( Me ) On The Craftsmen Of Zymurgy Spirits : Michter's Sour Mash, Bourbon, & Farmer's Botanical Gin, Perry's Tot Navy-Strength Gin & Dorothy Parker's American Strength Gin 10/30/13 @ Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits Washington D.C. Northwest, 20008




Thanks Jeff Wells for bringing Michel Dumas and Anthony Quinn ( me ) these FABulous Craftsmen of Zymurgy products :
     1) Michter's  -

a) Sour Mash- loved how smooth it was,

b) Striaght Rye Whisky- Michel's favorite,

c) American Whiskey - we both liked it, overtones of coffee-toffee,

d) Bourbon - our least favorite, harshest, most astringent, ...  and the

2) Farmer's Botanical Small Batch organic gin - we both LOVED it, so much floral, smooth and brightness, and

3) the  

a) Perry's Tot Navy Strength gin - also quite sharp and for me sharp and jagged,  ( not " fleshed-out" like the Farmer's Organic gin ) , and the

 b) Dorothy Parker American Gin - smoother, less bite, less burn, more pleasing that the Perry's Tot, but nowhere as interesting or as complete to Michel or me as the Farmer's Organic Gin!

Then Jeff brought out a delicious Farmer's Pumpkin-Flavored Gin that was really tasty! ( not pictured unfortunately ) - really nice, so smooth, great floral pumpkin flavors. I liked it. Cheers, thanks Jeff.  Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
