    Sutliff 1849

    I noticed the vinegar note gets a tad stronger with age. That comes from the red Va. Actually, I did years back, but I think they like it in a tin only.

    Sutliff 1849

    There's no toppings, and the casing is minimal. I might as well disclose this: for over a year, I tried to get Sutiliff to add a non-topping VaPer to their line up. I told their master blender, Carl McAllister, at the time what I thought would work that was different than the Elizabethan...
