      "text": "Big fan of Tide Gin over the years. Always take a bottle from Liquid Assets airport store when visiting out of province, and it's a big hit.\nWanted to try, but had trouble finding, a bottle of the Windward Whiskey as it seemed to always be sold out. Finally found a bottle at the Garlic Festival in Windsor, NS, a couple of weeks ago.\nVery much enjoying this excellent sipping whiskey. Fares well versus the competition, which would be premium labels from the big boys, and other craft regional distilleries.\nOnly downsides are availability and the somewhat high price @ $67.00 for 700 ml bottle. Will savour this one.",
