brnlvll Report post Posted January 31, 2006 Has anyone else taken the plunge? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a bottle ordered too, Brooks. I have to confess I was a little disappointed in the label design - at least on the LdF site, it doesn't look as attractive as the other Jades. A smaller bottle also (50cl). Judge a book by the cover? Me? Never... What do other people think of the design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierreverte Report post Posted January 31, 2006 label based on original; done, with advise given to, but without supervision, by the distillery. bottle size chosen to sell better in france. there will be a 1 liter size in the next batch, not expected until mid-march.

Brooks Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Has no one else ordered a bottle? There you have it, Brian: We're on the cutting edge. It's going to be up to you to wow the forum with an in-depth critique, since I'm no good at these things. I promise to back you up with comments like "Well put!", "God, yes!", and "You've never been so right!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absomphe Report post Posted February 1, 2006 I'm a little gun shy, considering it's a Jade and the price is so... relatively reasonable. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brooks Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Well put! God, yes! (I think the reason the Blanchette is cheaper is because it's a smallish bottle. At least I hope that's the reason.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selmac Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Sorry to post before introducing myself but; I've had a couple of bottles of this stuff and I doubt anyone will be disappointed in it. So far, I like it better than the other Jades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luchog Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Got a huge ordering going in to LDF in about a week and a half (splitting an order with several others to save a little on shipping costs; and the Blanchette is definitely on my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Boy Report post Posted February 2, 2006 Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you....

Auguru Report post Posted February 2, 2006 Oscar and Hissy: love those tandem posts! I saw Timothy Leary at the University of Arizona back in the mid-'80s. I'm not sure if he was incoherent or I was just too dense, but I doubt anyone could repeat the gist of his lecture. Or at least there'd be little overlap in the recollection. Timothy probably would, too, since acid is colorless. How then the colorful blotter names like "orange sunshine"? Of course, if you wanted clear, there was always "windowpane"... One Jade may be larger and one Jade may be small for the Jade that Ted will sell you the Flying Monkeys must be called go ask LDF when the proof is done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
