It's Barr Hill Tom Cat Barrel Aged Gin. While the juniper presents itself, the smokey oak finish is nothing short of a great single malt.

It's made up North. New England. Do your self a favor. Buy a bottle and I swear if you don't like it I will buy it off you!

It's a Gin you can drink straight, on the rocks, mixed. However.

Their (clear) Barr Hill Gin looks interesting, too.

That sounds like a genever, or "old dutch" style gin as opposed to "london dry". Look at recipes for genever...

http://www.cocktaildb.com/index is a great resource for this.

called three large liquor stores within forty mile and no one has heard of it. i may have to expand my loop to ninety miles to include rochester or albany.

My dad used to drink genever, with family and with his Dutch buddies: Bokma and Bols were his brands.

They'd chill it in the freezer and drink it straight, from shot glasses.

Been a fan of Plymouth, Hendricks, and Brokers. And while I can drink most liquors "neat" or "rocks", and prefer a dry gin martini to a vodka one, gin has been known to make me surly if I have too much of it. So as much as I like the taste, I have to steer clear of it, or I'll find myself in a fist fight!

They also make a Vodka, which could be good too...

I'm sure there are some serious gin drinkers in Albany.
