They use the seeds too?? That explains the sheer wretchedness of it then I think. Probably has a little acetone or something in it then for that extra jolt of "flavor". :eeek:.
Extra jolt! :rofl: Jolt of nausea.

Obviously you have never tasted Cynar. That stuff makes Ballantine's seem like fine aged scotch.
I'll pass on both, thanks.
I might get some flack for this, but here goes... any kind of sour mash bourbon. I had a little too much JD one time when I was a Jarhead. It made me so sick, that to this day, just the smell of it makes me gag.
When you mentioned Sheep Dip in the thread title, I thought you were referring to the brand of Scotch whiskey, Sheep Dip. It and Pig's Nose are not the best but far from the worst out there.

My bane is gin. :spit: Disgusting stuff! Lifted some from dad's liquor cabinet when I was about 15 or so. Was like drinking turpentine. Even the slightest whiff of the stuff makes me turn green now.
A terrible sounding recipe is the "Rotsiegel-Cocktail" from 1957.
Rotsiegel is a famous German tie-maker and their ties are exquisite... their recipe for a drink probably not so much.
Mix together and poor in a whiskey glass on ice:
1 large liquor glass orange juice
1 tablespoon yoghurt
1 teaspoon ketchup
1 teaspoon gin
1/2 teaspoon sugar
some chopped ginger
"Delicious and wholesome " they write...
Mostly cheap Gin is like "rot gut". Bombay Blue Sapphire is not too bad. But Gin is an acquired taste, the same as many hard liquors are. I do not like Gin, nor Vodka, and actually never have liked much of any booze products. I do have a beer about three times a week, and that is it.
Daniel likes JD. Not his favorite but as he says, it is better than the majority of similar booze sitting on the grocery store shelf....lol!
Lagavulin is a brand that is perhaps one that Daniel says it is a great tasting scotch, but hard to find anywhere and about $125.00 a fifth.
Wow! Lagavulin is expensive out where you are. I can get it for around $60 here. Another reason I guess I am staying.
In viewing the matching china/coffee or tea cup, with the pleasant design of the bottle...you can conclude a few things about that brand of Gin.....it may taste much better than an average Gin...I am sure the price tag reflects it as well....and the cup and saucer....ask yourself why? The Gin is going to get you "ripped", "snorted", and so rapidly "Houston..we have ignition..."...you'll need the cup.....in the morning....badly.....to help "jog" your brain in hopes if you can recall the name of that train that just hit you....so they have excellent customer service by giving you the cup with the name on it...
I think the cup is for those old vicars that like to camoflage a wee nip in the afternoon.
