I’m rapidly getting the idea that Freezing Saddles is a drinking club with a bicycling problem.

Both good things!

Can I double count Sunday’s ride since I got both cider and rum on it? If so, I shall post my hot buttered rum picture and a review of it’s deliciousness…

Surprisingly smooth and clean tasting. I’m eager to try it in a proper G&T.

Counting this as extra spirit points

1/11 at Catoctin Creek with SMH9600. (By the way, she insisted we do the alcohol-euring trifecta!) I had the standard flight with 2 bourbons and a gin. I forgot to take a pic of the bottles so I don’t recall what the bourbons were, but remember that I liked it more after I added a little water to open it up.

I forgot to include my cocktail – I cannot – for the life of me – remember what it’s called, but it’s gin!

3 points for @reji because she went for the flight of spirits, +1 point for knowng that it often takes water in order to fully “open up” a spirit, and +1 for taking someone else along since, after all, the spirit of #spiritneuring is to share the expierence with others. 5 points total!

+1 point to @smb960 for her first postung, the same ÷ 5 points granted to @reji since they did this together, +1 point for remembering to take the all so important photo evidence that @reji forgot to do, and +1 point for enjoying the experience so much that she forgot what cocktail she drank. 8 points total!!

I think it is only fair that I am ineligible to win the same prize that I am cosponsoring, but that does not mean that I shouldn’t conduct spot audits to verifying the various places of spiritneuring posted on this thread.

Inspired by @reji, I cinducted my first site inspection at Falls Church Distillers, on the site of a former ABC store, and around the corner from the longest standing and eclectic bike shop in the Little City, The Bike Club.

I didn’t drink the gin, but did audit their bourbon and whiskey. WOW! The bourbon has a heavy charcoal-Carmel nose that hits you if you are within 3 feet of an open bottle! The whiskey is super smooth, and would make a perfect ending to an evening. I may have to stop back on my way home!!

FCD now is licensed to serve over the bar since they opened up a very nice, classic Italian restaurant on the premises. So no further need to drink out of the bottle in the parking lot like @reji did.

I may very well host the winner of this prize here for dinner and spirits, after a suitable bike ride, of course!

Taking a break from beernuering- we visited the Falls Church Distillery. Incredible find- I had the Great Falls Negroni. Smooth gin – I’ll be back.
