Got a bottle of this a few years ago in Latvia, absolutely blow your head off. It's disgusting if you drink it straight so you'd need to add something I used Pepsi.

Seeing balsam would be for me a definite no.

I drank a fair bit of this over Christmas - a very nice Maple-flavoured drink. Like @Eggs' Aussie Whites, it's now becoming a bit trickier to track down, so last time I found a supermarket selling it I picked up a few bottles:

Had a couple of glasses of port, mellowing nicely.

....just got 3 more bottles of Aussie Whites. Only small bottles, and my son will take one but it’ll be a change from rum this weekend.

Wish I'd read this thread before I bought one of them at the Polish shop last week. One of the most vile drinks I've ever tasted. I didn't even think a mixer would be enough to make it drinkable so stuck to just having big shots to get rid of it.

Not suitable for human consumption.

I did go back and buy a half bottle of the blackcurrant version which is only about 30% I think and which was ok but sickly sweet and for me no good for sipping or shooting.

Has anyone ever tasted Grappa and thought "that's tasty; I'll buy a bottle of that to sip and reminisce about my holiday".

Not convinced on the Apple Jack Daniels.

I've had apple Irish whiskey, very nice it was. Years' ago but I think it Bushmills, probably wrong.

Think I've got the mixer wrong.
It tastes more like a Swizzell. ( southern comfort lime and lemonade)

Was after the Barbadian one but they've sold out in my local. Not bad the Jamaican, more floral and fruity than I normally go for but perfectly fine, like a 'good' version of Havana Club.
