Got a bottle of this, the sticker on it says reduced to £8, but I got it for £1. They must not have been selling well, and I can see why. This tastes like a soft drink. I'd be disappointed if I had paid the £8. The dark and spicy however actually does almost taste like brandy or a similar spirit. Much closer to the mark when it comes to a 'non-alcoholic spirit'.
Wow I mean considering it normally goes for £15-£18, it’s safe to say you got a bargain there. It could be a shelf life thing. Similarly to food, most non alcoholic spirits will have some sort of use by date attached to them. And interestingly, we’ve found that some drinks can loose a bit of flavour over time if not stored properly. Out of curiosity, did you mix it with anything or just taste on its own? We are yet to try the dark and spicy but heard good things!
We'd LOVE to. We reached out to Caleño a few months ago for them to send us a bottle but they never responded. We're doing so many reviews now that we can't possibly buy them all, especially as we don't make any money from this. We'll try them again though! Thanks for the prompt ;)
