|
Comments: "Hm! This one's sorta smooth ... and a little smokie. Not as much throat burn on this one." —Chris "Heavier than the Dalwhinnie but not as much kick at the end. Sorta reminds me of sausage ... except liquid of course." —Margaret "Right from the start I knew this was for the ladies. The bottle, the color all say Chanel. Definately lighter and kinda sweeter, the after explosion more girly." —"Special Guest Reviewer" Paul |
