2021.9.20. Mid-autumn Festival

9/20, Monday. Clear night. Bright moon. Like most families, mine is scattered around 3 countries. Instead of moon cake, I opened a box of chocolate, at ate 3 bottles. However, so little liqueur, I couldn't tell the difference between one bottle from another.

Included in the ensemble:
  • Mount Gay (1703 oldest rum rooted in Barbadian sugar cane)
  • Courvoisier (1835 cognac from Charente)
  • Jim Beam (1795 Kentucky bourbon)
  • Remy Martin (1724 Cognac, blend exclusively of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus)
  • Cointreau (1849 French triple sec blend with sweet and bitter orange peels)
  • Camus (French Cognac since 1863)
  • Canadian Club (1858 whisky from Detroit, moved to Ontario during prohibition.)
  • Sauza (1873 from Tequila)
  • Sobieski (1846 vodka from Polish rye)
  • Galliano (1896 liquer from Tuscany. 30 herbs including star anise, juniper, musk yarrow, ginger, lavender, vanilla)
  • Licor 43 (Spanish 1946 from Cartagena, a secret blend of fruit and herb by Zamora family)
  • Famous Grouse (1896 blended Scotch whisky)
