Location: Louis 649, 649 east 9th street, NYCDate: 1/12/10
Event: Macallan Tasting
Me and my cocktail posse arrived to Louis and entered in a packed house! I know Louis is a great cocktail bar, but I've never seen it so full! They even had one of the owners maintaining the door and not letting people in, due to the full capacity. It was obvious that New Yorker's loves Macallan.
This Libation Girl knew her fair share of the brand and enjoyed the tastings from 12-18 years, but I was loving the copper ice ball maker! This maker creates ice balls for your whisky, which fits in most standard rock glasses. The spherical shape of the ice ball helps slows down the melting process, due to the body heat it receives from your hands.
There was only one thing that I was un-happy to learn about this clever copper creation. It won't be available for the public until a few years, but the people at the Japan Trend Shop has created a replica for $185 USD(see link below). I think this is well worth it for you master molecular mixologist.
Night Cap:
It was a great day/night. I met some new and exciting people. I had great libations, and experience a cool new device for the cocktail world.
Slaandjivaa!
