Not to mention the cardboard box also contains several old gym socks, well-used; and exotic herbals incuding Listerine wipes and dessicated balsam rope from their office decorations.<br /><br />But I drink it anyway...mike janowskihttp://www.modamduo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-172791109452206252013-01-07T23:41:22.628-06:002013-01-07T23:41:22.628-06:00Malort is a Chicago tradition - a right of passage...Malort is a Chicago tradition - a right of passage. And the only path I know is Jeppsons. Most brands are defined by their product, but Malort is different. It's almost vice-versa - Malort is Jeppson's. I hate to see another brand try to milk a few bucks off of the reputation of another (we all know Malort is not going to be a high demand product - in reality, it's a novelty). <br /><br /><br />Also, I hate how how villianized Malort is these days. In reality, it's not that bad - it tastes like citrus rind (which we've all had) and has earthy notes. There are worst drinks out there (just try Fernet).Dolph Lundgrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-28213219406382263842013-01-04T13:36:25.854-06:002013-01-04T13:36:25.854-06:00It's propaganda like Zane's that made me d...It's propaganda like Zane's that made me disappointed when I finally tried Malort and thought it was rather good. It lacks the sugar of most amaros, so it comes off a bit unbalanced in that manner; however, if you've gotten used to tasting nonpotable bitters (dasher bottle bitters), it is seems pretty tame.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-57918413039469691232013-01-04T08:35:50.451-06:002013-01-04T08:35:50.451-06:00I think I first heard about this stuff on Drinking...I think I first heard about this stuff on Drinking Made Easy when Zane Lamprey was in Chicago. He could barely gag it down. Zane not being able to down a shot of booze is like Andrew Zimmern barfing after eating some disgusting foreign dish. It just doesn't happen.Justin Victornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-34696306271501998682013-01-03T23:11:13.820-06:002013-01-03T23:11:13.820-06:00The Bittermens apparently have a Malort coming out...The Bittermens apparently have a Malort coming out.
