I was thinking of breaking down and trying out some 5 Pawns juices, but through my research, I found this thread, so I decided to check out Steam Co.'s barrel aged juices instead. I hope that the few bad things I read about these juices not being as good as they were originally in this thread has passed, not that I would know the difference anyway.
I ended up getting a bottle of each of the Reserve juices (Gentleman's, Old English Orchard, and Beaumont) as well as a 10ml sampler of Sean Lepreconnery, if not for the flavor itself, but for the name as well. I used the code TFC2014 for 25% off, which put my order just over $50, so it qualified for free shipping. Bonus!
Question: Do the Reserve juices come in glass bottles or the PET plastic bottles?
My Reserve juices came in a glass bottle, the others plastic.
I believe the issues of inconsistency was with GR only, not the other Reserves, although i can't speak from personal knowledge since i haven't tried Old English Orchard and i have only ordered BR once. My experience with GR was that the bottle i ordered in March was more flavorful than the the bottles from the 5/1 batch, but i didn't find the 5/1 batch as off as some others thought they were. In any case, they sent me replacements for all three bottles, from a batch made on 6/1.
Great customer service at Steam Company.
