    Nonsense. Why would they name it 'Purple Death' if it tasted bad?

    Apparently not enough! lol

    It really isn't that bad Jo, in fact many people have been known to rather like the stuff. I remember the first bottle I ever saw, I had to buy it just to find out if the label was taking the piss, fortunately it was. Bloody good stuff, great laugh for parties too.

    Tis true, I have a bottle of Purple death I keep for unsuspecting sorts who turn up wanting to drink my alcohol.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    The manufacturers go to great lengths to make it sound bad but it is actually a dessert wine and as such tastes fabulous when combined with sweeter items, also very good for marinating steak that is a little too tough, provided you cook outdoors (10 foot flames put some people off trying this.)

    As an all night binge it is deadly.
    As wine it tasted dreadful.
    As shots it tastes dramatic.
    As a dessert topping it tastes divine.


    PURPLE DEATH



    An unusual "Rough-as-Guts" aperitif that has the distinctive bouquet of horse-shit and old tram tickets. it is best drunk with teeth clenched to avoid foreign bodies. Connoisseurs often drink this strange brew in conjunction with other beverages which complement, or mask, the delicate flavour of Purple Death.
    Please note, the term 'some' implies a certain flexibility
    Russian Jumper (with some vodka)
    American Purple (with some Bourbon)
    Purple Lady (with some Gin)
    Purple Randy (with some Brandy, a rose and candles)
    Purple Carribean (with some white Rum and a parrot)
    Or use for: punch base, ice cream topping, trifles, steak marinade or with fruit juice.

    If you wish to refine you palette this is not the stuff for you, go get a bottle of Galliano's Brown or Jaegermeister and make the same dessert and a splash of Cointreau.

    If you want a really gastronomic experience you have to try it.
    At $12 a bottle, the very worst case you have something to serve at parties as a challenge.

    Or you can go to the factory and buy it there at about %75 retail. Just out of Henderson.
