This stuff is going to explode like nobody's business. Think Hawaiian Jager. But you do need to actually make the stuff in order to sell it.

They stopped making this stuff long before I was old enough to (legally) drink. We had a bottle of the fake stuff in our liquor cabinet when I was growing up. My Dad remembers the real thing.

I've been hoping for most of my adult life that I would get a chance to taste the real thing, but as someone pointed out, you never see the real thing and even the fake stuff goes for $100 a bottle.

So, since I've been waiting all this time, I can wait a bit longer; but please, don't give up before the stuff hits the market. Oh yeah, and why the hell doesn't the distillery have a website? I realize there is some real talent and money in this project, but even if it were just a couple of hucksters it would still have a website. What's the deal?
