every batch of Black Agnes. My favorites are still my favorite. Gin is real polarizing.
Personally I liked the oldest 4 best and Gin BA, but Fear liked the fresh ones I haven’t been buying because I have too many in cellar so I may need to find someone else to share bottles with.
I meant like, in what way are they different? Do the old ones get oxy and have super low acid? I've drank a ton of BA, but not sure I would be able to pin point major differences between batches.Personally I liked the oldest 4 best and Gin BA, but Fear liked the fresh ones I haven’t been buying because I have too many in cellar so I may need to find someone else to share bottles with.
In my defense, my palate was pretty much blown by the third tick.Personally I liked the oldest 4 best and Gin BA, but Fear liked the fresh ones I haven’t been buying because I have too many in cellar so I may need to find someone else to share bottles with.
The fresh ones are super acidic and sharp. It’s what I don’t like about them. Also they are specifically beety. I fucking hate beets. Black currants have a similar dirty flavor to me, which is why I tend to prefer Red Agnes. I think I accused the freshest batch of being Batch 5 before I looked at the color and realized it had to be new. The older ones are smoother, taste more balanced and have none of that dirty beet component I hate.
I did note that batches 7, 9, and 11 tasted especially of canned cranberry sauce.
Beets. Cranberry beets
Damnit now I'm gonna be looking for that flavor when I drink some.
It may just be me who is particularly sensitive to that earthy flavor.
Oh beets your favorite
Hope you got everything you wanted.Celebrating the end of the Pips cellar sale

All I wanted was more cinna plum and I got 2 more cinna plum.
Plum is great but they have done it a few times so I have a few bottles stacked up. I drank my one cinna plum right away and was like “oh shit. I should have bought all of these.”
