Jesus...my 3rd attempt in trying to a review...really hating these new updates. Wondering why these updates were needed? Anyway...trying one last time...else will call it quits for the day...this here is a sample from my friend @Scott_E as part of our final round. A locally made bourbon from Long Island. I’m a huge fan of craft distilleries, it’s a pure blood, sweat and tears effort. Some are great and make it big (Westland). Others are one man shops that need some ways to go (Deerhammer). This falls in the latter category. Nothing special, decent...but I’d not pay over $25. $10 more, and you can do better. $10 less, and you can still do better if walk over to the wine aisle.

I'm with you, @Scott_E and @PBMichiganWolverine. I really enjoy checking out the output from small, local-oriented craft distillers (and brewers). It's not always the best quality, but you find surprises...and support small local businesses in the process. I've been pleasantly surprised at the Wisconsin distilling scene...the whiskey-making still needs a bit of refining, but there are some killer gins coming out of this state.
@Scott_E totally agree...me, personally, I love trying these craft distilleries ( although likes of many aren’t distilleries but rather just buying bulk and finishing). You never know the next High West or Westland you can find in the making
@PBMichiganWolverine Agree totally. Not a great bourbon and would normally never purchase, but wanted a provide a touch a Long Island contained within a whiskey.
I really don't know why companies in general spend so much time changing stuff that works including UI design and ignore basic functional improvements...
