I was a bit afraid to share the name at first and blow their cover as under-the-radar shippers, but my box arrived with a big ole "This box contains alcohol" sticker, so I guess it's on the up-and-up somehow. Anyway, looking forward to your thoughts on the Banks 5 when your little bottles arrive! Mike Hooker - You are so right about Banks 5 in a daiquiri! Superb! That's probably how most of mine will get guzzled. It's too interesting for a more complex drink. Who cares if it's right or wrong, it tastes great! As for the Swedish Punsch, I don't even remember why that was on my shopping list, but I'd been hunting for years. I thought it was because of a Beachbum Remixed recipe, but a search of the index suggests not. I'd never had it before, and I can't resist something weird I've never tried before, so there ya go. I have to agree with you, though, it's not THAT special. It's basically Arrak with citrus, spices and sugar. I like that there's sort of a Jamaican-like funk to it. And there's a surprisingly strong leather note, which I also quite like. It will be a fun bottle to play with for that reason.
