Hey, it's been a minute + Jägermeister notes
Jägermeister Review
The nose is very nostalgic, there's a strong note in there that reminds me of good root beer. I'm also picking up what I perceive as mustard seed, it does smell more sweet than bitter, I find the smell very comforting.
Mouth feel is thinner than I was expecting, high sugar content often means syrupy mouth feel, especially with lots of herb oils. But pleasantly thin mouth feel. Lots of sugar when it first hits my tongue. The first flavor I distinguish is a bitter cough medicine note, but it doesn't linger. Follows with a root-vegetable note, followed by a fresher woody note, like a birch note. I get a cherry in there somewhere, and a late candied orange peel perhaps. Beautiful complexity, absolutely dances around your mouth. Frankly I was terrified of trying Jägermeister with it's reputation as being a bitter herbal spirit that college students drink while disliking. But it's really lovely, like, I might try it with sparkling water to make a "Jäger soda"
Maybe it's not for everyone, it's certainly not fruity, more sweet and savory. But absolutely delightful to me. I think I'd give it a 9/10

About my absence
So... why was I gone so long. Well, really a mix of things. But, some of it is personal, so I'll keep this brief-ish. It STARTED because my father had concerns with how much I was drinking. While I still think my alcohol intake was rather under control, he was worried about it, and I live in his house. If I resume regular posting, it'd have to be like, once every 2 weeks, or once a month, instead of "as often as I can manage"
But, honestly after a few weeks break, I was too lazy to come back. If I did want to try a new spirit, then I'd just make a tweet reviewing something instead of a full review. To add onto this, I checked back on this blog a while back, only to find out that there's a maximum number of posts I can make using blogger (which is how I publish these), so if I wanted to come back more regularly, I'd have to migrate services.
So what next? Well, I suppose that's really up to you guys. If there's enough interest, I could try to look into alternative blogging methods (I'd probably make a whole separate twitter just for alcohol reviews), and even then, who knows how often I'd do reviews. Either way, please leave me some feedback, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Appreciate anyone who read this much :3
