Lagavulin 16

Amazing nose; smoky, tasty. smooth going down. not anything worth shattering, but i should try it at home (instead of a dark bar) before giving final judgment

Momokawa Pearl Junmai Ginjo Nigori Genshu Sake

18% abv

750mL @ warehouse (forgot price... most likely <$10)

wow. this is amazingly gross. starts ok, but has a strange metallic twinge at the end that spoils it. and its nigori, so i can't even heat it up and forget it :/
