Coney Island Carlos Bourbon

[BourbonGuy]

Never heard of them until Thanksgiving. And there right in my backyard.

Anyone try it?

Only in New York could a guy go from running a tattoo shop to being a purveyor of wines and spirits including rum, vodka, gin, tequlia, and our interest, Bourbon. Mr. Carlo Fodera (Coney Island Carlo) must be a busy guy but I doubt he has a still in the back of the shop.

As for the whisky, yes, I've tried it a number of times, MGP bulk whisky gets around under other labels and you can buy some from Carlo for only $17.99 a pop.

Almost certainly mystery sourced whiskey. Other than that I know nothing about it. But based on the website I would probably stay far away!

And his tattoo artist friends help design the labels. Anybody remember American Biker Bourbon?

Not sure about their wine and spirits, but I'd let Miss Kristy mix a cocktail for me any time. :bigeyes:

[squire]

She's welcome to slice my limes.

"Like all other Coney Island Carlo Spirits our bourbon has the distinction of being smooth over the pallet with a strong hearty flavor."

Are they suggesting that rather than drinking, it is best enjoyed by pouring it over wood on the loading dock?

[PaulO]

Maybe that just means it's easy for the fork lift to move around.

[squire]

Maybe it means they don't know what they're talking about.

[michaelturtle1]

at least they are not trying to insinuate that they make it

[Josh]

Maybe they meant palette. NYC is the center of the art world after all.

Nothing says Coney Island like a whiskey distilled in Indiana for a company in South Carolina. Very Authentic!!

I think everyone is better off with Carlos sourcing generic mystery source whiskey.

"This stuffs made in New York City!

New York City!?!?

Get a rope."

[squire]

They don't make whisky there it falls off the back of a truck.
