Can anyone confirm this one way or the other? hakalugi~ you are right this has been discussed before. i brought up the fact that it is the same distillery. however i found out that it is the same company but distilled in different places. tv is distilled in the west indies and whalers somewhere else. another TCer has both and after a taste test determined that they are only similar in color. one other comment~ the pyrat xo is also distilled in the west indies and has a full flavor that is WAY better than the TV dark. if price is not a problem get it instead!
