Thanksgiving Drink and Smoke

I'm a bourbon guy through and through, but not all day. I prefer it as my evening libation. Never been a huge gin guy, but I will say I've found more and more botanical gins that are interesting, even just over a little ice and no mixer. Revivalist G...

Warped The Corto - Good end of summer smoke!
