First Use of Bootleggers Eldorado

[Norman Gunston]

Hi Folks.

I've just blended and bottled my first batch of Eldorado. I admit to already being a fan of most Clubman aftershaves, and I find this blend to be very good indeed!

Many thanks to @OkieStubble and the fine members of Badger and Blade for this initiative.

Wow!!! That looks outstanding and I am sure it smells fantastic. Where did you purchase the empty bottle from?

That is a Myrsol AS bottle

 

[Ad Astra]

Nice! I've been curious about that one.

Yes indeed - @md1234 is right on the money; it is a Myrsol bottle.
I am gathering resources to repeat the process for some other Bootlegger variants. Not that easy, as I am in Australia, and some of the ingredients I need are not available locally, nor can I order them from the US, due to the restriction on air transportation of alcohol-based products.

my personal favorite bootlegger scent, enjoy!

Great looking bottles Norman! I’m glad you like the El Dorado.

Thanks, Okie. And thanks again for all the work you did on getting the blends right.
I can see your thought process with the El Dorado. The Vanilla Classic provides a nice lift to the deep dark notes of the Special Reserve, without significant dilution of its essential masculine nature; and the English Leather adds a touch of sophistication. Sort of "Clint Eastwood after he's taken a bath upstairs, and just returned to the saloon freshened up!"

Exactly!

You would love it Mike!

In fact, I like it so much that I am soon to make up a second batch.

Good move!!

Good move!!

@BigJ - great to hear from you from our diametrically opposed locations on our Blue Marble. We are all facing a common foe in current times, and friendship and solidarity across our societies is a bright beacon of hope.

Yes indeed! The best move for everyone at this point!
