No, never did. No point now after reading your review. Can’t remember seeing it in the local shops. Good to see you around.Did you ever try it? Terrible.

I have the bottle with about 4 ounces missing if you want it haha. They don’t sell it up my way so when I saw it in Virginia, dropping my kid off at school, I was excited. All tails. Wet dog/cardboard. Even if it was all hearts I don’t think it’d be good.

Been wearing a LEE Royal derby on this dark & dreary day as the holidays approach. Test driving a dram of The Shin 10 yr old Japanese Blended Malt whisky as an aperitif on a clean palate before dinner. First impression is this blend is very much like a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky with tastes of dark stone fruits like figs, dates & raisins, maybe plumbs. Much preferred over citrus & tropical fruits. A bit of vanilla on the nose but not so much on the taste. Mouthfeel is clean but thin, watery. Few legs or curtains inside the glass. Aged in Mozunara Oak but I’m not getting any of the incense/sandalwood “smoke” or spice. Some black pepper & small bit of alcohol in the aftertaste. It may take a couple drops of water to open up these other tastes. Pretty smooth 96 proof, non chill filtered with no additives. Not harsh at all.

PS: In time a little heat builds in the chest.
PSS: Nosing the empty glass brings a nice aroma of cinnamon & spice, vanilla, oak & sandalwood smoke.
Met a friend at a new place tonight. Their mission statement in part is, “common people & rare whiskey!” Received 3 compliments from other patrons; one on my Optimo I was wearing. I think I’ve found a new place to add to my list of regular haunts. KC Bier Co Winterbock’s @ 8.2% ABV. Premium whiskeys, filtered water/ice frozen in round cubes, sealed baggies. Professional bartenders, not 21 yr old kids.

@Short Balding Guy , Eric: On their beer menu they have:
Surley Controlled Chaos IPA,
Surly Furious IPA,
Surly One Man Mash Pit IPA,
Surly Before I Die Lager,
Surly Grapefruit Supreme Tart,
& a 13% ABV Surly Stout which I have already forgotten the catchy name of (who thinks up these names?). I wanted to remember it too because I would like to try it.
Come down, I’ll take you there! I think I’ve found a new home!
I’ve been meaning to reply to this for a while. I looked into this whisky, wondering what it went for over here. It’s not one I’ve noticed on the shelves. The local shopping sites don’t have it either. I assume it’s one that’s made exclusively for the foreign market.Been wearing a LEE Royal derby on this dark & dreary day as the holidays approach.
