Must be aging into goodness.
I was an early adopter of theirs, and it was pretty rough.
I assume no age dates on the bottles yet?
Still may be another year or two out.

If you haven't had Maotai or Moutai, you're missing out. Could be my favorite out of any drink. Just too many fakes out there and too expensive. 80% are counterfeit, "real" bottles go for 300-400. It's the top 2 on the baijiu ladder. Bad day today, needed something to make me smile

decided to branch out - figured a blend would be a good start.

Dad's home brew of ginseng & herbs with Chinese grain alcohol. Aged for at least 5 yrs. Its good for the "yang". A little bit goes a long way. Also positive results for ladies. (I mean can also consume) Have a bottle from '86 that's going to my kids. It's kind of a secret elixir, good for aches, pains and sprains. Rub it or drink it, your choice.

I've been cutting back on 80 plus proof. Expensive, harder to wake up the next day and I think I could be a mild alcoholic.

@fidodie , ditch the amateur cubes. Go with a big ball and you'll never go back. Problem is that you need a big glass which means more drink.

Never gonna let you down.
My wife picked this up for our anniversary. When she told me about it I was thinking it was made from coffee grains until I read the label. Really yummy.

I've never seen that one before, how's it compare to the other Japanese spirits?
Click to expand...
Generally I like Japanese whiskey, but I've had it so infrequently that it would be hard for me to compare. All I know is a friend brought over a bottle of bullet, and after drinking the nikka the bullet tasted lousy to me. And I'm not a whiskey snob, most of the time I buy overholt or Evan.
