Awesome & thoughtful video!

How interesting! To answer your questions: 1) Yes 2) I love trying new things and this sounds interesting. 3) More than ok. It's good to support small businesses with outside the box ideas. Let's change the status quo one beet at a time!

And the beet goes on....everlasting...🎶

The Czechs and Slovaks use sugar beet to make tuzemák. I haven't tried it, but I have tried Glendalough Premium Irish Poitín [distilled sugar beet, 40% ABV] and the best thing I could say is: good for de-icing roads, maybe. Despite this misadventure, I can answer your questions: Would I buy it? Definitely. Why? Because I'm consciously trying to diversity my spirits tasting experiences. Effect of my decision on future of spirits? Hopefully, it helps creative spirits producers to stay in business and keep catering to the adventurous customer.

Thank you for taking a risk on this one! I would buy it, maybe not the same Batch 2 that you reviewed but rather future iterations with hopefully more finesse in blending different casks. I once tried an Icelandic spirit aged in birch wood, it was light in color but tasted about the same as chewing a birch twig. A little extreme for my palate. :) As for sugar beets, I feel they are an unsung hero overshadowed by a flamboyant tropical islander a certain Mr. Cane. My hat is off to the innovators who go back to the roots, beetroots in this case!

Thanks for Pointing my Eyes on this unusual Product. I'm always curious about new Flavours and Tastes.👍 Btw.: since a few Years i do this "shake the Bottle with 1/3 of Air in it and oxidise it actively. 😅 Since i had a few young Whiskies which gone much better after spending 1 Year untouched with half Content and half Air. Question1: Probably Yes (depends on the Price) Question2: as said. I love to discover new Tastes and Flavours. Question3: I dont see a Problem when new Distilleries making Products made of Local Sources and creating Kinds of Spirits (Probably most of them where already tried in History because People always tried to make Booze from their Ressources to face the hard Times of Life 😅) with modern Techniques or new Inventions. We will see which one will survive.😜

Love the reference to Beetlejuice… Don’t say that name three times! Lol

1.) Yes 2.) I love to try new things. This is also new in a more literal sense which is cool. 3.) Sorry what? Not sure what you're getting at. Thanks for this awesome review!

Thanks for diving into a wildcard. And thanks for inspiring me to finally try a bottle of Balcones' Rumble (made from wildflower honey, turbinado sugar and mission fig FWIW). Cheers!

An interesting one. Would I buy it? We have a triple berry rum available here from the NZ Rum Co. It is a white rum, sugarcane based, and pot distilled with a selection of strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. It is 43% alcohol and I picked up a bottle for $74.99 NZD which is a similar price to the Alkemy spirit. I bought it to try it and because it was something different. So, yes, I probably would buy the Alkemy Sugar Beet Spirit if it was available here at a reasonable price, just to try it and because it is something different. But I don't think I would buy a second bottle of the same thing. There would have to be something different in future bottlings that is worthwhile exploring. It would be interesting to try it against the unaged spirit to better understand what notes the base spirit is giving compared to the oak cask notes. Cheers!

Interesting! Would I buy it? I think if it was local to me, then yes. But if it's not then I couldn't see myself going out of my way to try to purchase something like this when there's a mile-long list of other things that I'd like to try but haven't got the funds for ... But since I do like supporting local, I am the proud owner of a 18-month aged gin made by "Limited Distillery" in Virgil, Ontario....with questionable results 😅.

This is really good to see. Btw when you refer to 'Navy Rum' is that a type of rum or literally the brand I see in the shop?

You had me until fruity hand soap….sounds hard to beet…😂 Cheers 🥃

Interesting stuff but I don't think I would buy it, definitely would keep my eye on them though. Cheers!

Have you had any luck with beer spirit? It feels like it would be a shoe-in for new and interesting English spirits, but I've only seen it made by the Dancing Duck brewery and I've not tried it yet.

🥃👍🏻😊😊
