E-Something @nullinterface.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The Hanjan may well be acceptable to connoisseurs; I grabbed it in error because of a shelf label describing it as soju - my fault for not reading the label.

E-Something @nullinterface.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The Mythe has a lingering aftertaste of mouthwash that persists. Unwantedly.
