Batshit Mental Ideas
Batch 5 of Brown Drink has appeared and is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a completely Batshit Mental Idea. Not sure what this brilliant creation is, even with its incredibly detailed name? Well let us spin you a yarn...
There's one particular company out there that takes full bottles of tasty whisky and other spirits and turns them into 3cl samples so the people of the world can try fantastic expressions without having to fork out for the full bottle before trying it. However, there's always a little bit of spirit left over in the bottle after making the samples. Batshit Mental Ideas, in their usual way of being, well, batshit mental, acquired these yummy extras and combined them all together like the biggest Voltron ever imagined. They had a taste of their creation and were amazed to find that it was amazing! This is that delicious Voltron.
Ribena and cough syrup at first before anise takes hold. Orange, oat cakes, fudge as well as touches of coconut, clotted cream fight for attention as first fennel then sticky liquorice preside.
More sticky anise, ginger, rolled oats and hints of cumin, acacia honey and coriander.
Oat biscuits shine through before giving way to more anise and a little oak.
How do you even categorise this?! Completely crazy! An inevitable addition to a range that's nuttier than a fruitcake.
mmmm
...has been swallowed by The Whisky Shop (apologies for foul language) somebody needed to assume responsibility for left fieldness (that's like Loch Ness, but drier), so well done (that's like medium well done, but drier / burnt).
One sip and I couldn't have any more. There's a lot of gin coming through here. It's basically the top shelf pint they try and force down you when you turn eighteen. Probably a better idea just to look at it and marvel and the amazing plethora of ingredients than torture your poor mouth and lips with this unholy cacophony of contradictory flavours.
