My name is Jared and I have a problem...
I can't enjoy Whiskey anymore unless it comes straight from a bottle of 1792 Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey. I was leaving my friends house over in Sayville and as I was walking towards the LIRR, a really clean looking hightop van caught my eye in a parking lot across the street (#vanlife). As I crossed the street, I noticed J & J Spirt Shop and walked in out of curiosity.
And again, just for curiosity's sake of course... I asked if they carried 1792 Whiskey. Ok to be honest, I actually asked if they carried "1702" Whiskey but they kindly and politely corrected me (I was exhausted so let's call it a brainfart) and quickly presented me with a bottle. I knew I was running low on the bottle I have at home (it lasted me quite a while folks!) and since the price was quite right, I decided to buy one. I was tempted to buy two because again, at 34.99, it felt like a deal. I've actually purchased the same exact 750ml bottle for $40 pre-tax at other stores.
There is also a really cool looking cigar shop next door. Had I not been in hurry to catch my train and had one waiting for me at home, I would have certainly stopped in. When I got home, I popped the bottle in the freezer (this probably goes against whiskey code but I like my drinks cold but without ice) and enjoyed it with my cigar.
Cigars and Whiskey... yup it's official... I've become my grandpa!
Spark notes version: 5 stars for a really clean, local liquor store that has a large selection with good prices and is run by super nice folks
