I'm definitely interested in alternatives to US rye (and bourbon). When Trump put his first tariffs on Europe, we radically reduced our consumption of rye-based cocktails, but the Rittenhouse and Bulleit (and the WT101 )are now either empty or running on fumes.

Did you try the Lot 40 Cask strength, and did you see that they also make a 43% ?

Question for the DD community: when preparing citrus juice for a cocktail, do you fine strain it before adding it to the shaker/ stirring glass to remove pulp? I use a reamer rather than a press, and I usually do fine strain, but this year's blood oranges are filling the conical strainer with a very fine pulp resembling a puree even after one orange.
To include, or not to include. That is my question.
