“This vodka tastes too distilled for my taste.”

I think this was great to inform the customers on brand fact, but, the vodka was definitely the favorite of all four bottles I was sampling.

Mixed comments, many said the whiskey was different than what they were used to

Very tough today because this is already a slow store and there were 3 other tasters and one had a $24 smooth whiskey that everyone kept preferring.

All very good and smooth. Vodka and the blended whisky were the most popular today.

Started slow and picked up toward the middle

Vodka was great chilled, liked it was 80 ABV, sake vibes. Gin was different than the normal gins a lot of peach and great smell. Whiskeys so smooth and not like normal whiskey.

Not many people have tried Japanese gin or vodka before. Everyone who tried were really impressed and liked the price point. They loved the info I was able to share on the product. The Japanese whiskey was great as well, more well own, the pure was definitely the favorite out of the 2 but a little on the pricey side for some.

a woman in her 50s loved the vodka so smooth and clean

Today’s Sampling it was a great day before Father’s Day but most of the customer were targeting Wine and bourbon and there was another three Demos one of them, Sampling bourbon

this vodka is super smooth. There is no bite on the front or back end.

The vodka was a fan favorite. A lot of people were interested to try Japanese whiskey for the first time. I think this brand will do very well in the future.

Tenjaku+ middle west cream

Great selection of products to sample, had never tried Japanese vodka or gin before. Very impressed with the flavor. Such a great blend for whiskey, vodka was super smooth and dense, gin had great notes and smell, MW creamy and tasty.

Middle west- 4, sold 1.
Everyone was excited to see all the products to sample, there was something for everyone. The gin was super popular and I sold out early on, a few people took photos for later purchases. The bottles were all very pretty and clean labels.

“This is one of the best Japanese whiskeys I e ever tried! So extremely smooth w/ intricate flavors that linger on my palette” “For vodka, not so bad! No rubbing alcohol taste like most I’ve drank (almost wouldn’t even need a mixer for this!) plus I think I’m going to buy just because the packaging is pretty fantastic haha!”

3 demos here tonight including self; foot traffic slowed a bit more than expected (for this demo at least because not many customers wanting to try over what the other demos had to offer) Might’ve sold bottle of the whiskey if the customer did actually come back once I had left? All in all things went smooth and demo did well since I was able to spread the word!
