@sisterratched@social.vivaldi.net Starward was going to be my next sampler, what's wrong with it?

@InsurgoFormica@aus.social @sisterratched@social.vivaldi.net That explains why Starward went from interesting to be just another GlenLivit, looking for turnover instead of statement. Also why it suddenly was in all Wesfarmers stores, and being regularly discounted

@InsurgoFormica@aus.social It's been watered down, literally, and the exciting experimentation it started out with (? 15 yrs ago?) has been stopped. It lacks the flavour and variety it was initially famous for, and most of it's been watered down to 40%. Diageo has dropped them now but 11 yrs of their bullshit has ruined the brand.
