The NH liquor store is an evil place. <g> The prices tempt me to try
things that I'd never purchase otherwise, I read about this in xyz
publication, it got good reviews, and look it's $15 less a bottle than
it is at home next door in Maine, if it can be had at all in Maine where
Allen's Coffee Brandy is king.
I've had the gin in question and agree with you extremely smooth but the
flavor doesn't do it for me. Some of my friends really liked it though.
No arguement from me, I bought a fifth of the stuff.
