Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

Solera aged means it is a blends of several different years. [Reply]

Angels Envy is also finished in port barrels....it's a unique finish to a bourbon. [Reply]

We bought some Crown Honey and I love it in lemonade, Crown Maple too. Great summer drinks to sip while in the pool.
I'm at the point I drink everything straight. I'll sip something to chase after it once it's hit my palate. Unless it's substandard shit just designed to get me drunk. Then I chase it with cola. [Reply]

The first time I tried it I was smoking a cigar at the time. I thought it was delicious. Then the cigar finished and I took another drink and about spit it out.
No idea how that stuff is as popular as it is. [Reply]
