   Nope, I'm just a regular consumer. Like I said, I had just happened upon it 
last January at my local liquor store, which is the Empire Liquor Store that 
Mark Smilow mentioned in his listings. I didn't buy any that day, I actually 
went on the web the next day to try and find out more about it and the 
distributor/manufacturer of it, especially as I never heard of it before. 
During my search, I happened upon this forum that was already commenting on 
this liquor since July '04. At the time, there weren't any comments after like 
August, so I thought that if anybody was still interested in more info about 
it, I thought I would contribute what info I did find on it.
   I'm a newbie to the forum and I thought I was replying to two different 
people. I didn't realize that it was considered posting in the same thread and 
that it would cause such a nasty response to me. Even though I'm a consumer 
and not a bartender or owner, I thought since I got info from this thread 
through my search, I'd contribute something back to your group. Also, I never 
thought that there was a forum out there that discussed/reviewed liquors/bars, 
so I thought it would be cool to join, learn, and share. I was trying to be 
helpful to people who sounded like they were interested in the subject. I 
didn't think some people would jump on me so viciously, just because I made a 
mistake and now they think I'm some scammer or whatever trying to promote a 
product. I don't even know how you can tell the difference between a 
"promoter" or "marketer" and an enthusiastic consumer who's just sharing their 
experience and maybe got carried away copy/pasting a reply that he thought he 
was giving to 2 differnt people. I guess I thought wrong.
