This was rather nice on a second visit to bottle, which shows clearly never to fully judge a bottle on first glass, whatever the reason. Initially I wasn't overly enamoured, but whether it was me, or maybe some air in bottle made the change, I don't know.. Was rather good thoQuote:

Not as complex a flavour as I am used to, but after the first glass, perfectly acceptable.
It is quite light in colour, similar to honey. Nose is supposed to be Vanilla and pear, with soft spices, it I struggled to find it.
Taste: refreshing nectarine and tropical fruits, with a subtle roasted coffee, clove and ginger. A memorable finish of sultanas and black toffee.
Again, I didn’t get all of that, I certainly found the tropical fruits, and the coffee, and fortunately did not find the clove, as I am not keen on clove.
The thing I found odd was it seemed aggressive on the tongue at first. I am hoping that as it now has had a bit longer to breathe, the taste will be better.
may well do.. a teaspoon of water might work too
We went to Costco today , they have their own store brand Kirkland .
They go to top sellers like Mcallan , GrayGoose ect.. and they sell Gray Goose for example right nest to their brand of vodka . The 1.75 liter was $19.99
I got a 1 liter bottle premium 100% Agave Anijo Tequila 1 liter $19.99.
I just wanted to add some variety to the cabinet.

I had an Islay tonight that I was wanting to try for a while.
The Bottyist. An Islay gin. It was really nice with the fever tree tonic water.
Maybe too much gin? [emoji23]. The botanist, not the bottyist
