Well coffee is inherently bitter, basic trait :) . And every time I've tasted oud it has been bitter. But I'm intruiged, I'll give that a try sometime soon.

Bitter on bitter?

Interested in what makes Nha Trang LTD an unsellable? And what information would make you label Nha Trang Ultima as routine manufacture?

Very loosely indeed, and super subjectively. A wide range of grades may be 'suitable for mon koh'. However, I can see how it could be used as an auxiliary qualifier to help better communicate one's needs. Thanks for further clarifying and for relaying your personal experience. Now I can be...

mon koh means to listen to the incense, a Japanese tradition of incense appreciation, part of kodo http://www.shoyeido.co.jp/english/knowledges/mon-koh.html there's no such thing as mon koh grade really, as it refers to the ceremony itself, not the material used

He baptised it 'pump and cruise' and you can read about it in a section of this blog: http://blog.agaraura.com/gen3-a-comprehensive-guide/ Basically heating in short bursts to liquify the resin and release oil, then reducing heat to slowly vaporize released oil. At least that is the theory...

Kyarazen 1985 contains no labdanum. http://www.basenotes.net/threads/445669-KZ85-THe-GCMS-results To date, no one has owned that mistake. Also 1985 has no confirmed origin, Kyarazen himself last guesstimated Kalimantan/Indonesia...

What does it cost? I couldn't find a listing

(Different vendors sell at differing full bottle sizes) 1. -Green Malaysian - PureOudh 125£ 3ml Green sweet forest, subtle, with a twinge of medicinal bitter. I wish it had greater intensity, if it did, I'd be in love. Can't beat the experience for the price. -Cambodi Vintage 2002 - Imperial...

I have a stock reply for such responses. No one is forcing you to spend time here, feel free to be less bored elsewhere.

2 double espressos on a trot are bound to give anybody a buzz, oud or not. ;)

Greetings, I thought you lacked the time for this... it seems, in the end, you have more time available than I do... (I should be sleeping) As was I ;) But let's not escape the truth behind the humour. I'll lay my cards down bare; I am not a fan of your more fanciful marketing. Beyond the...

Good evening, lol :D Yes, I've noticed. Apologies, I had not considered it may not have been a factual statement when I came across it. I don't think it could be considered an unflattering credential though. Btw, I'm glad you edited your post to soften the jabs you make at your detractors...

I'm glad to see you've returned to your good humour :) If nothing else, you got to reminisce; you're welcome ;):p I've heard you're have a degree in English Lit, so I'm sure you can appreciate precision in language. I still think you can answer without contradictions or abstractions or precise...

Has this started happening? If so, point me in that direction. If not, let me know when it does. Thanks

lol. I realise of course that you are busy, over three weeks had passed before I bumped... We disagree. I've read my post several times over; I don't see nitpicking, or any type of tribunal. There are at least a couple of questions that could not have been any more straightforward. To be...

bump. it seems threads with true inquiry always fizzle out to silence.

I've not tried Rose Co2, but it wouldn't compare to the otto. It should be most similar to a rose absolute. Personally, I think the absolute more representative of real rose, so a Co2 has its appeal but unless you object to the use of solvents and require the purity of a Co2 extract why pay the...

Ouch, that was a very specific and uncalled for dig; I don't think it relates to the discussion in any way. I appear to have struck a nerve with the word 'artisan' though, so if it helps avoid bitterness, let us just say I meant: small-batch distillers. If you care to expound on what...
