The Hard Liquor and Miscellaneous Stiff Drinks Thread

[Beirut]

Now that's a mighty fine bottle indeed, Sir.

It is a pity that Camus bottles all look like large effeminate perfume vials. Horrible design. But the contents are unsurpassed, nothing can change that. I pour the entire contents into an old crystal decanter and never look back.

I just Googled the Camus bottle, doesn't look that bad. Is that the best stuff? $$$? I know very little about cognac.

As for crystal decanters, a few years back our SAQ (Quebec government booze stores) ordered a special series of very old scotch to be put in extra fancy crystal decanters and sold for one arm and half-a-leg. Problem is, once they hit the shelves, they found out the lead was leeching from the crystal into the scotch. Hello toilet bowl! What a waste.
