Hey @joeyd999 et al -- Lets face it! 'Garnish' as you will -- It's all about EtOH -- Kinda like guys who claim to read (VIEW) Playboy and it's ilk for the (non-salacious) 'articles' -- or those who assemble 'illegal' radio transmitters to 'test antennas' -- lets face it! It's the 'juice' that makes a drink a drink! -- Or, in excess, makes habitual drunks....

This is new to our State Liquor Store. To me the texture and sweetness is more of a mixer, I put a little in my Bourbon, never thought Pineapple Scotch would taste good together.

Don’t refrigerate it won’t pour. It’s normal consistency at room temp the throat has special spout, to limit to a consistent pour.
