Boss gave me this the other day that he had bought for him... Feckin' horrible, tastes like there's some tails in....
I'm no expert by a long way but I would say my lentil wash run through an Airstil twice is better..

Be even better still when I get my 8 gallon milk churn in a couple of weeks combined with a 2" copper reflux tower.

Blimey what a coincidence - at a party on Saturday I tasted the apple pie. Same brand different flavour, was left thinking... Ooooooooooooo nice jar!!

£25 a jar??! I wonder if this is made in the uk or being imported? Either way I suspect the gooberment are taking a hefty slice of that price tag, especially with it being sold at a higher than usual ABV.
I'd want something that has been aged for that kind of money I think, even if you threw everything other than 75cl of absolute hearts away it would be substantially less, makes you wonder what kind of profit these guys are turning Vs what it costs to jump through hoops in terms of licensing etc

I cannot speak of spirits, but for wine I did the maths of two years ago and the maker would be lucky to make 1 pound per bottle

Dito, I thought exactly the same..... Crap shine but reusable container.
Been buying a few of these off Amazon or Asda for £20.00, nice bottles to re-use.
45% too.

Always preferred TSM over "normal" bourbon. Is it any good ?

Nice drink, even better if you know somebody that works at Asda to get 10% off..
Daughter works there.
Nice chunky bottles with cheeky cork stopper.

That is one of my favourite lower cost Bourbons.

I've been on a Bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag with Black Cherry

The cherry flavour works seamlessly with Bourbon
