I've been playing with the new little drip atty on and off throughout the day, and finally got curious.
I busted out the little bottle of Irish Cream that left me confused and unimpressed last time. It wasn't horrible, it just also wasn't Irish Cream IMHO... but dripping changes everything! It actually tastes more like what I expected now. It probably still won't make my short list or all-time faves, but I'll definitely use and enjoy it now....
Lesson learned. Don't perma-shelve anything until you've steeped it, stored it..... and dripped it at least a few times!
