The Brandy Library

Last night we went to watch the Harold Lloyd film "Safety Last" at a film series in Tribeca that our friend Krin curates.   Afterwards, we went to the Brandy Library, which has no books, but perhaps the largest collection of distilled spirits around.   The drink menu is a very large and thick book....    I had a tasting flight of specially selected single malt scotches called "Smoked Out"   They were:   Bowmore 12 years, Longrow CV, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Isle of Jura Prophecy, Bunnahabhain 1997,
and a Mystery Smokey Single Malt.  
(Hi Greg!)   
Many tequilas, as well.
The place looks like a library because all the bottles are out on shelves for everyone to see.  

  

I didn't try the single malt called "Sheep Dip"

Along with things like a plate of charcuterie, it was a decadent evening.
